I am a Lemming....25 things about Kristina

 

101_1459-copy.jpgI 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.
