So I finally finished my About page which gives a very general overview about my life and what I want the blog to be. I figured it would be fun to do 10 more random things that didn’t fit the section. They’re just random little things that could possibly come up in conversation when I meet someone new.
- I can’t live without my Kindle. I finally upgraded to a Paperwhite last year (it was a milestone birthday gift from my siblings) and that built-in light is seriously one of the best things ever invented. I also love my iPad (because I read a lot of magazines) but if I had to choose between the two, I’d go with my Kindle any day.
- I think better when I write things down on paper. It’s not the most efficient method as I usually have to re-type my thoughts into a separate document anyway, like this blog entry, for example.
- I doodle during meetings to keep from falling asleep.
- It’s surprising how much I love being a mom. For a long time I didn’t want kids and then I did but had a difficult time getting pregnant. Giving birth and being a new mom were also so hard. But as my daughter grows up and continues to become this amazing little person, my mama-hood role is fitting me pretty nicely.
- Beach or the mountains? Definitely the beach. Coffee or tea? Tea (especially iced). Knitting reference alert: Magic loop or DPNs? DPNs (double-pointed needles).
- I’ve been keeping a journal since I was 10 when I received my first official one (with a real lock!) from my tita (aunt).
- Even if my mom passed away almost three years ago, I still miss her terribly and will find myself crying in the most random places or times (something that’s completely normal, I’m assured by all who have also lost their parents).
- When I travel, my souvenir of choice is yarn. And I try as hard as I can to mail a postcard to my daughter, B.
- If you are what you read, here are my magazine subscriptions (I subscribe to seven!): Vogue, Vanity Fair, Fast Company, Inc., Living Etc., O, Psychologies.
- I’m a consistent beginner yogi, despite a practice that’s more than 10 years old. I try to meditate as well. Exercise and meditation just don’t stick. So how do I turn these into habits? Maybe I need coaching on this.
