Well now … how to condense the sum of who I think I am? For a start, how about this:
- Christian
- American
- Woman
- Wife
- Mother
- Conservative
- Republican
But I can tell you this much, set aside your preconceived notions of those things because I probably won’t fit your stereotypes. Often we only really know how to define ourselves, or others, by the labels. So these are my chosen labels.
In addition to the above:
- Homeschool Mom
- Homebirth Mom
- California Native
- Gardener
- Reader
- Tech Enthusiast
- INFJ
- Coffee Drinker
- LOLCats Fan
- Camaro Enthusiast (mostly ’67-’69)
- Rock & Roll fan
- Geek
- Dork
Wannabesoap-lotion-shampoo-maker- Sometime smart-alec who laughs at her own lame jokes because no one else will
- Bronze medalist in the Foot-in-Mouth Games
- Often klutzy
- Usually boring
- Always listening to the thoughts inside my head.

Thanks, Jen! I figured I’d go with Bronze, because Gold kind of implied that I was good/witty/not awkward at it. 😉
Now I’m thinking I should have just gone with “Honorable Mention.”

Check – check – check… Bwahahaha: Bronze medalist in foot in mouth games! Ahhh! ’67 – ’69 Camaro – one of the premiere American Muscle cars. But are you a fan because they’re simply that cool or because you bought one new? My dream car is still a ’69 Dodge Charger (Daytona: 426 Hemi with 0.29 Cd – What!), Oasis tan leather interior (red’s acceptable), custom white mother-of-pearl exterior with um-teen coats of lacquer; “Pegasus.” I’m glad to meet you!

Oh goodness, you sound like so much fun! 😀
No, I never had the pleasure or pride of actually owning a late 60s Camaro, it’s always been just a dream car because they are that cool. My husband always tells me I’m going to get whiplash when I see one go by while we’re out and about.
You’re not the first girl I’ve known who had a thing for that Charger with the 426 Hemi! That beast can roar! But that white mother-of-pearl paint job, that’s what I want too! That is just too funny! 😀
Pleasure to meet you, too! 😀
