I am a Lemming....25 things about Kristina
I decided to follow Karen's lead and post my 25 Random Things here, too.
1. I am really, really fascinated by people and interested in what makes them who they are.
2. I think everyone in my extended family and also my husband and his family and our kids are all musically talented-- except me.
3. If I could do anything I wanted to do and not have to worry about making a living – it would be travel, write, take photographs, read, meet new people, learn about new things, and get a massage every week.
4. This is very, very close to what I already do every day.
5. I was a wet-nurse for a time.
6. A woman asked me to take her baby and raise him as my own. (but not the same baby I was a wet nurse to.) I didn't do it but not because I didn't want to.
7. My best friend died 4 ½ years ago of cancer. I still miss her. Her death has shaped my life in many ways.
8. I love Buenos Aires, Argentina and want to go back but don't want to live there.
9. I love to travel and a few places I would love to go are: Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala, Indonesia, Thailand and various places in Mexico.
10. I love dark chocolate. Really. It could become a problem.
11. I dreamed about each of my children before they were born and the dreams were uncanny regarding their personalities and certain details.
12. I found out I was pregnant with my son the same month my husband had planned to get a vasectomy.
13. I am a published photographer and think that may be an untapped passion of mine.
14. Writing is my first love and I admire anyone who can write really, really well.
15. I had a surgery to remove a bone in my foot after I broke it doing a pirouette. I am not a ballerina. Clearly.
16. My brothers are rock musicians and are amazingly talented!!!
17. I’m a bleeding heart and rescue animals whenever they are placed in my path. I do drive-by feedings, too.
18. I hate the cold and get chilblains. No, it's not my imagination. I really do.
19. Probably not very random but I love living in Mexico. I never saw myself here.
20. I was an editor for a war veterans website for about 5 years and was also a veterans advocate. I cracked a big story and helped a veteran get his benefits.
21. I love bright, bold colors: cobalt blue, turquoise, warm red, fuchsia, etc.
22. I love water...and though this sounds like a contradiction, it grounds me.
23. I have a bucket list and have crossed a decent number off.
24. I love to dance!
25. I have an irrational fear of cockroaches.
