Occupation: Natural health, writing ... perhaps soon to change

Favorite Color: I tend to like combinations of colors ... maybe turquoise/purple/pink

Favorite Food: Mexican .... and Chinese, LOL. (but not at the same time!)

Hobbies: tooo many .... photography, dancing, painting, worship, gardening, travel, and about a million other thngs!

Likes: I enjoy doing so many things --I like so many things. Children, elderly people, Christian bookstores, animals, watching a good movie, building something or doing puzzles ... it's easier to list what I don't like!

Dislikes/pet peeves: Ah, ask and ye shall receive! I don't like for people to blow their nose at the table while I am eating. And it becomes wearing to be around people who complain and are negative ALL the time (though I can have compassion for difficulties - just don't let it define who you are!)

Bible Translation: I use many, but my main Bible is KJV

Hymns or other Christian songs: Oh ... too many. My favorite hymn is "How Great Thou Art" but my YouTube list has nearly 100 songs on it at last count and it will probably have more by this time next week. I LOVE worship! Chris Tomlin is one of my current favorite artists.

Interesting Factoid #1: Hmmm ... what would be interesting? I like to play on PS2 sometimes.

Interesting Factoid #2: I like to experiment in cooking and "create" new dishes. Sometimes that's a good thing and I make a new favorite ... and sometimes it's a bad thing and the chickens get a feast!

Interesting Factoid #3: I am interested in collecting photos of Christian-themed billboards and signs.

Interesting Factoid #4: I once cut an onion in half and the half sprouted and grew within a few hours sitting on the counter!
