Tagging business

Ok, so I got "Tagged". I think this falls into the same category as chain letters! And I am not so good at those. Melissa got me. So here goes my categories.

3 Joys

1. Spending time with my family. I love family get togethers with the grand kids and my husband Robert. I love it when he is on vacation and can truly relax and be silly and fun. From motorcycle rides with Rob, to hanging out at home, to vacations together-my family is my fav.
2. Having a clean and sparkling house. To me one of the best things in the world is to relax in a home that smells and looks as if it has just been cleaned.
3. Singing with the Choir. It is a natural high to sing with people that are great musicians. To be able to figure out a difficult song and remember all the elements that I need to do is a great feeling.

3 Fears

1. I don't know if it is a fear, but I know I really have anxiety about being in social situations with a large group of people. There is no way that I would go shopping in the early morning after Thanksgiving Day!
2. Change. Change in my daily life routine is very difficult for me. I can do it but do not like to do it. Funny thing is I thrive on challenges but hate change that happens to me.
3. The unknown. I like to know what is going to happen and why. Being in limbo is an uncomfortable place to be. I have to speculate and figure out all scenarios that could be possible. Drives Rob crazy!

3 Goals

1. I want to gain more knowledge about technology. Especially in the area of teaching my students with.assistive technology. I would love to figure out a way to assist the students to be able to respond and navigate through their world.
2. I want to remember to enjoy each day as it comes. I want to grab all the joy and experiences around me. I want to better appreciate my fellow earth travelers as they are, instead of wishing they were something I want them to be.
3. I want to keep the Spirit of Christ with me more often. I forget to rely on the Lord unless I am feeling stressed. I think it is important to keep my heart softened to the direction that the Lord may want me to go.

3 Obsessions/current collections

1. My laptop computer is one of my favorite obsessions. I love to scrapbook, create digital projects (powerpoint), and of course online research and shopping. The laptop is cool because it moves with me!
2. My ipod. I love to put music, video, pictures, and audio books on my ipod. I never thought I would like this toy so much. But I do.
3. My love for making jewelry has slowed a little but hasn't gone away. I love stones, glass, silver making, and soldering. For me it is relaxing and satisfying.

3 Random facts

1. I hate the wind when it blows really hard. I don't like the sound of it banging on the houses or the trees bending way over. I love the gentle breezes, but the hard wind is no good.
2. I love the oceans and lakes, but I don't care for boat rides. I especially don't like to go fast in small boats. The sound of the water slapping on the bottom of the boat freaks me out. I always think that the boat will be torn apart.
3. I love to smell the ocean. I love to sit on the sand and watch the waves roll in. It calms me. When I imagine a safe place to meditate, it is on an ocean beach. There is a breeze and the air has a slight chill. I can almost smell the sea now.

Since I am so un world bloggy I really don't have anyone I feel comfortable in tagging. So I will do the same as I do with chain letters-I won't pass it on. But at least I responded to the challenge.
