meme for strangeness....

I've been tagged by Rabenstrange. *grin* Guess what I get to share?! Drum roll, please.......
Five strange things about me!

The problem is that I am limited as to number - only five....

So, I'll have to come back to this. I'll have to selective. *laugh*

a little bit here and a little bit there...

So, it's ten to one a.m. and I am sitting in front of my screen scarfing Mi Abuelo salsa and chips...think I'll have memorable dreams? *laugh* Well, I don't know that for sure, but I do know I will have fingers that look like polish sausages in the morning because I add so much salt to my salsa. Salty chips, salty salsa....yeah, I like salt. *grin* If I were to be an animal I'd be a horse so I could eat apples, carrots, and have a salt lick. *laugh* Speluncking in a salt mine anyone?!
Sadly, I don't think it will counter-act the amount of sugar I eat to maintain my sparkling personality. *wink*

Anyway, on to what I was intending to share....
Long, long ago, in another life I was an avid Anne Rice fan. So long ago, in fact, that I haven't read probably half of what's out there with her name on it. Recently, she has had a change of heart and change of focus in writing. So, I am excited, after my initial reticence, to get my hands on a copy of her woven words - Christ the Lord : Out of Egypt. Currently, it is on hold at our public library. (Are you as shocked as I am? they actually have it! Ooh! *laugh*) I have read a couple reviews and articles about this book - here is one by George Barna - and I am actually very excited. While it's on hold I'll finish Barna's Revolution.

Now, on to the water faucet to attempt to minimally dilute the saline content of my being. And what shall I dream tonight, pillow fairies? *laugh*

a new year......YES!

I love the beginning of a new year. It's fresh - more so than just a new day. The opportunity to turn over a new leaf (or in my "let's do it ALL" way - turning over a whole tree of new leaves *laugh*), is inspiring.

Ahhhhh.....the freshness of it all. *smile*

I think I am calloused to the phrase "New Year Resolutions". So, I am "resolving" or "purposing" to make some lifestyle changes that will, with persistence, change the way I am characterized. One tiny bud of change that I am praying will leaf out in full green beauty is consistency. Already I can boast - even though I know I'm not supposed to *laugh* - that my kitchen and laundry have been completely, COMPLETELY done at bed time EVERY DAY THIS YEAR! (yes, I realize it's only been two whole days, but don't deflate my joy balloon with facts or sarcasm, alright?! *laugh*)

Ahhhhhhhhh......the freshness.

Since things have seemed stale for a long time, this freshness is an unsurpassed pleasure. I fully intend to breathe of it deeply for days, if not months, to come. *smile*
