The Parenting Passageway

I try to keep this blog more inner-oriented toward the parenting journey than the outer “this is what we do in our family”, but in a spirit of openness and fun I thought you all would enjoy hearing these little-known  things about me.  You can also check out my “About” page here (that’s all those degrees, credentials, little things like that!):  http://theparentingpassageway.com/about/  and my two personal posts about my husband and third child:    /theparentingpassageway.com/2009/10/01/happy-anniversary-to-my-husband/   and   /2009/10/09/the-parenting-passageway-is-about-parenting-afterall/   And they have pictures!

Here is my little list of 10 things you don’t know about me: 

1.  I used to be a bodybuilder, the 114 and a half pound under class.  And when my kids are big enough, I would like to be back to lifting weights everyday.

2.  I used to work in gyms and I  ran a gym when I got out of college.

3. I have played the flute since I was 9 or so and still play.  ( I secretly have wanted to learn how to play cello though!)

4.  I love Gospel music!   Kirk Franklin and The  Family  is one of my favorites.

5.  I hate TV, but I can get sucked into the performances of  “So You Think You Can Dance” and “American Idol.”  It is a complete vice.

6.  I have never smoked and I don’t drink alcohol.

7.  I love the smell of coffee but hate the taste of it so I don’t drink that either. The one time I did manage to drink coffee was once  in college before an exam and I think my husband had to peel me off the ceiling.  I like herbal teas though!

8.   I love to hike.

9.  I love all animals and especially have an affinity for  sea turtles and owls.  Also for Leonbergers, the kind of dog we have. 

10.  I am very computer illiterate; my husband is the one who enables what I write to actually make it onto the Internet.  Thanks honey, for being my number one supporter!

In fun,

Carrie
