Every once and a while I get tagged for one of these things where you reveal seven facts about yourself. I usually don’t respond because, well, don’t you all know everything there is to know about me? But Nicole tagged me, so I’ll try…
1. I have extreme OCD when it comes to Christmas lights. I don’t consider myself very stylish or critical of others’ personal style, especially when it comes to home decorating, but when the Christmas lights come out I turn into a raging psycho. I used to be obsessed with white lights, but I’m slowly starting to come around to multi-colored. This was a very big step for me. But if you have lights that are all one color, like all red or all blue, I will be the one outside your house with eggs and toliet paper. Just a warning. Same goes for blinking lights or people who light up the trunks of their trees, but not the branches.
2. I married a person that is the exact opposite of my type. In general, I tend to like artsy, punk-rocker-ish, angsty types. Very Jonathan Rhys-Myers. Whenever we’re out at bars and my girls will be checking out guys I’m always the one going, “what about that one, over there, with the blue hair and piercings.” I think it’s the Catholic school girl in me.
3. I have somewhat forsaken diet soda. I’m over it. Regular tastes so much better.
4. I am a movie junkie. I could sit around all day and watch movies, even crappy ones, if only that child of mine required less maintenance.
5. Sometimes I worry I’ve made the wrong choices in my life. And then I worry that people will find out I’m worrying and be mad at me.
6. This was my Christmas card this year. I made them myself.
7. I’m a horrible cook, but a fairly good baker.
That’s all. What are seven facts about you?

Again, I’m breaking the posting fast. Ah well, I’m still taking it slow, no big posts, definitely no real writing on my end, so I’m going to say it still counts. Darnit. It counts!
I have been working on Christmas gifts and lists and cards and cookies in my free time, and yesterday I received my first gift from my family Secret Santa, my 7-year-old cousin, Lilly. She got me another Kiva gift certificate (read about my first one here) and I’m so excited to continue helping others instead of getting more unwanted junk for myself…although a new camera lens is not considered unwanted or junk…I’m just saying.
Crap, this post is getting long. Wrap it up, woman!
So, long story short, I received an updated today on Lilian, the pharmacist from Kenya who I donated my Kiva money to in September:
“Lilian Nyasewe got her loan in September, and purchased the drugs she needed. Her business has recorded high returns thanks to KIVA lenders who made it possible, she made her first loan repayment in the month of November.Lilian is sure her business will grow.She wishes all Kiva lenders a MERRY X-MAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!”
So, if you’re looking for a gift this holiday season, try Kiva. It is one way to make the holiday for not only the gift recipient, but for someone miles away who is getting another chance at changing their world.
There are some people (Hi Erin! Hi Mara! Hi Other People!) who read this site strictly for updates on the family because they refuse to use email and I refuse to use MySpace. So, for you guys, here is Lucy’s Christmas wishlist…just so I don’t have to send it out.
