A Few of My Favorite Things! // Tag

Aloha, all! *waves* (No I'm not in Hawaii.) I know what you thought when you saw the title of this post... "What?? But she does soooo many tags!!!" But I also know that you're reading this anyway. B-) (Well, I hope you are. If you're not, then I... Wait, if you're not reading it you don't care, do you?) 

I can't believe it's been almost two weeks since I've posted here. Sowwwy. ^_^ As I mentioned before, construction is going on. Mom threatened to hack into this blog and leave a quick post telling you all what's happening and that you would see me here after it's all over. But she didn't. B-) Did she? *quickly scans over previous posts* Nope. ;) 

I do have oodles of post coming up soon though, so be watching. ;) Like seriously. My settings look like this... 

Draft, draft, draft, draft, draft. xP Blah. If your eyesight is good enough to make any of that out, congratulations. You get a sneak peek into upcoming stuff. ;P 

While we're on the subject of pictures and excuses for not blogging...my room looks like this right now...

See what I mean? B-) 

I've been a horridly terrible blog follower lately too... :-/ So if you've posted something and I didn't comment, I did see it and I will get to you soon. :) (Translation: my inbox is beyond overflowing and I'm hoping to clear it out by...uh...July? *nods*) 

Anyhow. Lauren from Lauren's Amazing World tagged me for her own unique tag, A Few of My Favorite Things. :) Shall we get started? 

Cool, yes?

RULES: 

• Write down ten of your favorite things. 

• Tag at least three others! 

Before I get into my list of favorite things, I'm going to stop and say that, first, all of these favorite things are extremely random. And second, this is far from all of my favorite things. Thirdly, I noticed that like everyone else added family as one of their 'favorites', but I'm not. That's not to say my family isn't special! I'm just...not adding them to this list. ;) LOL. 

1) Dogs. 

Dogs are girls best friend! Well, this girl anyway. ;) Biskit is my 100+ pound Yellow Labrador Retriever. :) 

Biskit approves of my reading material. :) 

Biskit's brother, Bullet, is my brother's dog. He's smaller and darker in coat color. :) 

2) Candy. 

What would I do without candy?! One thing I probably wouldn't do without candy is write. ;) 

Skittles and Jolly ranchers are my favorites. :D

These are the best jolly ranchers. DO NOT ARGUE! 

3) Pottery. 

Some of you may not have known this, but I'm a potter. ;) I love all the aspects of pottery that I've been blessed to experience and learn from, but my favorite is wheel-throwing. :-) 

Some dishes from a dinner set I made last summer. 

Another important aspect of pottery (in my opinion at least ;)) is test tiles. Test tiles are small, hollow blocked used to test different glaze combinations. Lots of potters will keep their favorite test tiles, or all of them, on a shelf at easy access. And they're so pretty too! Here's mine. :) 

4) I Love Lucy

I Love Lucy is like my favorite TV show. It's an amazing comedy from the '50s starring Lucille Ball, and I absolutely adore it. :) 

5) Notebooks. 

Who doesn't love little books filled with blank paper?! :D I have lots of notebooks and binders for school, church, and writing notes. :) 

Just look at them in all their paper-filled glory. :) 

6) Music. 

What would I do without music?! Honestly, I listen to music all. The. Time. While I'm doing school, while I'm writing, while I'm reading, in the car... You name it, I've probably got my earbuds on. ;) 

7) Bloggers. 

That's right. You!! What would I do without all my blogger friends and followers? ^_^ 

8) Pictures. 

I love pretty, vintage-y pictures. (Check out my new header. :)) 

9) Good Books. 

I was originally going to include movies here (because y'all know I love books :P), but I decided against it. Because books are much easier for me to talk and talk and talk about. Books are amazing. Books are wonderful. Books are words upon words upon words. Books are life. *nod* :) 

10) *plays creepy music* Wait for it... 

Of course... World War Two. I know, I know, who has a favorite war?? But I really love reading about WWII and the '40s. :) 

And I tag...

Just a Fact Tag.

Hey everyone! :-) Sweet Raechel from God's Peculiar Treasure Rae tagged me for this neat, fact tag. ;) 

Guidelines:

• Take the banner and paste it to your post. 
• Tell a single, meaningful fact about who you are. 
• Explain this fact as open, and explanatory as you can. 
• Tag at least one other blogger, and give a reason why you think they should do this. 
• Add a Bible verse to close out this tag. 
• Thank the blogger who tagged you. 
• Have fun! 

So. Every other blogger that I follow who did this tag, did more than one fact. ;) So I'm joining in the rebellion and giving a couple facts as well. Just cuz I can. B-) 

\ Fact 1# \

I looooove learning about World War Two, the 1940s, and people of the greatest generation. :) I've read oodles of books on the subject (fiction and non-fiction) and I'm always looking for more. :) 

Let's face it. This era had THE CUTEST couples. ;) 

\ Fact 2# \ 

I'm a very visual person. I can perfectly 'see' all my characters in my mind. And I will spend lengthy amounts of time looking through tons of pictures to find the perfect one that IS my character. ;) That brings us to the next fact... 

\ Fact 3# \ 

I'm ADDICTED to Pinterest. Like, seriously. I have boards for all my WIPs and finished stories, not to mention boards for oodles of other random things. ;) 

\ Fact 4# \ 

I've been doing a little photography lately. I take pictures of random things all the time – food, books, dogs, and whatnot. But I've been paying more attention to different angles and ideas recently. :) 

Since I tagged a multitude of folks just last night, I'm going to tag someone I didn't tag. :-) (I don't want to overload anyone. :P)

And now for the verse. :) 

“For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.” -- Mark 13:34 KJV

Thank for tagging me, Raechel!! :D 

Signing off,
