1. I’m extremely patient, both with people and with myself. I’m well aware that good things take time… sometimes lots and lots of time.
2. Since early childhood, I’ve always been passionate about learning. I don’t care what subject—I love to learn and love to explore through thought and discovery.
3. I can keep calm during the worst of times – or at least keep an image up that I’m under control. My mind may be racing, but I instinctively try to create calm around me. Unless it’s just around Erich, and then I don’t worry about it.
4. I love that I have a wide range of hobbies to enrich my life.
5. I love being a cat mom.
6. I generally can find a way to enjoy myself, even if on first glance a situation looks like it will be a complete bore.
7. My friends confide in me, and value my comments and suggestions. I’m straight forward with them because as I believe being a friend requires me to be honest with them, but always try to find a way to be both gentle and supportive (even if I think they’re being stupid).
8. For absolutely no reason at all, I’ve always quietly loved that I have grey eyes, blonde hair, and freckles. I don’t feel like me if my hair’s a different color—and I feel more like me in the summer when my freckles come back out from the sun.
9. I’m very proud to not be a girly-girl. It took me a while to get to this, but I’m still a tomboy, and know I’ll remain that way my entire life.
10. I’m generally able to express myself so clearly with writing, which is a damn good thing since I tend to get tied up if I try to verbalize my deeper thoughts.
11. I’m thankful for being adopted because it has opened my eyes to the reality that family is a connection of love as much as (and honestly in my opinion, more than) it is biology. You can, in fact, pick many members of your family, despite how the saying goes.
12. I like that I wasn’t too scared to go on a first – and blind- date five and change years ago to meet Erich.
13. I can – and do – laugh every day.

Eh… not a great month, but it is summer and attention is elsewhere…
1) Finish half of the bottom border of Apache Wedding Blessing I’m close… just under one half. All of the yellow is done.
2) Finish Home is Where the Cat Is I did work on it, but it still has a few hours to go.
3) Prepare my UFO to mail for the UFO RR that starts in September Yes– it’s ready!
4) Get at least a couple hours of work done on Egyptian Sampler Can’t get to it… I’m going to have to shelve this until Apache is done.
5) Finally update my stitching pages completely, with photos and update progress. Nope. Computer’s been in and out of the shop all month for repairs, so I haven’t been able to sit down and get it done.
For September…
1) Finish bottom border of Apache
2) Work on UFO RR
3) Finish Home is Where the Cat Is
4) Update Stitching Pages
5) Have a stitching cram session (6+ hour day) on Apache.
