The rules are to share 10 honest facts about myself then give the award to 7 other bloggers who inspire me.
1. I am terrified of deep water, particularly the ocean. I think it's partly to do with how bad my eyesight is. Without my glasses I can't tell if it's a rock I'm swimming over or some hideous sea creature who'll devour me lol.
2. I'm a coffee snob who doesn't drink coffee. I used to work as a barrista so I know what a decent latte is meant to look like and not many coffee shops around here make them!
3. I left school when I was twelve years old and didn't go back until I was sixteen. I just woke up one morning and refused to leave the house and no threats or bribes could convince me otherwise. The reasons I stopped going are worthy of a post of their own so I won't go into it now.
4. I love to collect things! I've collected many different things over the years but at the moment fabric and cookbooks are what's making my money and storage space disappear. You know your cookbook collection is getting out of control when the bookshelf holding them collapses (true story lol).
5. I was named after a one-eyed sheep (or ewe to be exact). My mum loved the name Sarah-Jane so much that she called her pet ewe Sarah-Jane. By the time I was born the ewe was old, grumpy and could only see out of one eye but my family has had lots of fun over the years teasing me about who I was "named" after.
6. I'm in love with my iPhone. I'm not really that fussed about the phone part it's more the fact that I have almost constant access to the internet thanks to it. I have withdrawl symptoms when I'm in an area where I don't have 3G net reception. I keep thinking what if something interesting happens online and I don't know about it!
7. I'm planning on homeschooling/unschooling my kids. There are a few different reasons that I came to make this choice that I'll explain another day but I'm really looking forward to all the adventures I'll be able to share with my girls because they won't be locked up in a class room.
8. I love mandarins. I love everything about them, the taste, the smell and I love pulling them right apart and eating them one tiny little juice filled bit at a time. When I see them finally come into season and arrive in the shops I do happy dance every year.
9. It's taken me waaay to long to think of this many facts about myself so I'm glad I'm nearly at the end.
10. I'm a major night owl. Pre children if I was in the middle of a good book or creative project I would think nothing of staying up all night but I've had to curb this habit recently because somehow I've managed to give birth to not one but two children who regularly wake up at the crack of dawn.
I'm too tired to think of seven people and Kint has already mentioned my favourites so the bloggers I'm going to pass the award onto are...
April because I'd like to get to know her better and if Sazz likes her she must be awesome:)
Yan because I want to get to know her better as well.
Majikfaerie because I find her parenting and unschooling style really inspirational.
That's all I can think of for now...

OMg i love manderines too... when i was pregnant with Xave i would eat at least 12 a day... the kids at school would bring them into me and leave them on my desk.. was awesome...
ReplyDeleteXavier does not like them however...lol
I suck at these things LOL I will have to have a think and come back to it...
ReplyDeleteI, on the other hand, don't care for manderines. I can eat them, but I REALLY have to be in the mood for one.....they just remind me of the icky smell left on my hand after Kevin held my hand to line up outside our class room door in prepies..lol!
ReplyDeleteaw... I'm honoured. thanks :)
ReplyDeleteand LOL at the bookshelf. does that count for midwifery books? my bookcase is looking like collapsing any minute!
