And The Holiday...LOVE that movie and not just because of Jude Law but because of that little cottage that I actually dream of staying in one day..or something close to it! : ) Loved learning a little more about you, Leslie.

And I DI...I think I'm addicted to learning too! And I DID get a PhD. But I didn't become a professor because then it's more about publishing than teaching, research & conferences & ego-puffing than learning. No, I'm not disaffected...why ever would you think that?...<br /><br />But then after we moved to Thailand, I was still like "I wanna take language courses! And teaching courses (even though I've already taught 4+ years)! And yoga courses!" And when the hubby gave me a funny side eye look, I thought maybe I should chill for a bit.<br /><br />I also super big pink puffy heart love Scrabble. :)Jade @ Tasting Gracehttp://jadekeller.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-22232210543464081412011-02-08T13:56:55.504-07:002011-02-08T13:56:55.504-07:00Hey girl!

I think the solution is to equate our hair color to an item, not an actual color...<br /><br />"What color hair do you have?"<br />"My hair is baked apple pie crust."<br /><br />It works.Alysshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12691414406026780197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-60747600767272243072011-02-08T12:05:11.392-07:002011-02-08T12:05:11.392-07:00I recently colored my hair reddish-brown and I tot...I recently colored my hair reddish-brown and I totally understand the not knowing what my color is.

This was so fun to read! And...You are SO ADORABLE!! This was so fun to read! And when I was reading about your love for animals, it made me think of something you might really love. We use a wonderful resource in our homeschooling and it's one of the kids very, very favorite parts of our week. They are called Character Sketches and they take one character quality and have four chapters on four different aspects of that quality. But the really cool part is the fact that they use ANIMALS to display that quality. It is fascinating! Then they show the same thing (or lack of it) in a character from the Bible. We always come away in awe of our Creator and His amazing animal creations. http://store.iblp.org/products/C123/I Live in an Antbedhttp://www.iliveinanantbed.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-9238206813139165502011-02-08T05:06:46.134-07:002011-02-08T05:06:46.134-07:00i adore this!!!!!! love getting to know you better...i adore this!!!!!! love getting to know you better!!! xoxoCaseyWiegandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15573984790387502518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-78898977959524904602011-02-08T01:16:21.548-07:002011-02-08T01:16:21.548-07:00A few notes for your readers:
- Leslie's grand...A few notes for your readers:<br />- Leslie's grandmother drove a 300HP Camaro at the age of 60, so even if she doesn't get her Stingray until 50, she'll still be ahead of the game.<br />- Her "kind of competitiveness" is not completely her fault. Note first, a variation of the definition of competitive, "As good as or better than others of a comparable nature." So stubborn and so smart, she can't help but win, then feel compassionate about it. <br />- To address her Drop Phobia, its interesting to know that her father tells a scary story about being attacked as a child while carrying out a pile of trash. Of course he was being attacked by an imaginary monster. He dropped the whole pile and rushed back to his mother who at the time was yelling "look out, look out". But she was simply referring to the watermelon juice leaking off the pile of trash.<br /><br />Anyways...Video games at night! I'm totally available play Tron online together between 12am and 2am.<br /><br />Can't wait to read the book!DDThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12932629786235417049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-34510743353437537892011-02-08T00:25:31.240-07:002011-02-08T00:25:31.240-07:00Ha ha!
