Who Am I? ...And Where Am I Going?

I am Ruby Red Slippers~(but you can call me Ruby Red Flip-Flops for the summer!)

I am a girl who is packing for my summer at the beach cottage...

I have some great (well-I think they're great!) summer recipes to share and pictures of the cottage, and some shots of us at the beach, and in the woods...Join me this summer for the "Summer Edition" of Lions, Tigers and Boys!

Here is a few more things about me today for your enjoyment: (...or blackmail one day!)

I am not as thin as I want to be.

I know how to teach someone to read.

I think I want to get back into running-eventually. Maybe. I'll think about it after a summer of eating ice cream, and walking the docks...

I don't think I realized how much I would turn out like my mom~and I am glad I am turning out like her!

I want to experience God every day.

I have an obsession with reading something daily. My husband said: " Reading. Blogging. Decorating." (So true...)

I like my life. ~and Romantic Comedies!

I dislike people who ACT like they like you, then talk about you behind your back.

I hate lima beans, peas, and liver!

I dream of being a foster mom one day.

I fear what is happening in the world today-but not for myself, but for those that do not know God. And snakes, even gardener snakes.

I am annoyed when it takes my boys forever (!) to get ready to walk out the door.

I crave Chick-Fil-A which is useless because there are NONE in Michigan. DRAT!

I usually sleep in one day a week and my husband deals with the dog, the kids, the cat.

I search for truth in the Bible.

I hide my bath products from my husband and kids.

I wonder what my boys will be when they grow up. ...And if Carrie and Mr. Big's marriage really will last...

I know a lot of useless trivia so I just might beat you at Trivial Pursuit. I also know that God loves me, even when I don't deserve it.

I just can't help cheering really loud when my boys play sports. (So loud, I go hoarse...)

I regret not writing down my grandmother's recipes from Armenia.

I love taking care of my family. This does NOT include the dog. Or the cat.

I can be perfectly content alone or with a bunch of people-but both in small doses.

I can't live without my husband, my kids, or hope in God.

I try to not be so anal about my home organization...but, please pick that up, and put it away...right now!!!

I enjoy a glass of wine every now and again. Preferably by a fire in the evening at the cottage with Tinny.

I don't care that I am getting older...because I have a great guy sitting next to me each morning and falling asleep with me each night.

I always read.

I never want to act like an old, grouchy person. (~emphasis on grouchy...)

I'd rather be sitting on the beach, reading a juicy novel, getting an amazing tan without worrying about SPF.

I rely on God,my husband, my parents.

I believe in miracles.

I dance horribly. There is no other way to say it!

I sing all the time.

I argue with my husband about picking up after himself.

I write in a journal for all three of my boys. I also write a blog. Have you read it?

I win at Uno.

I lose my car keys daily.

I wish I had more self-control when brownies are around.

I listen to music everyday.

I don't understand algebra I or II.

I'm scared of crazed dogs, blood and gore, and horror movies...and don't forget snakes!

I forget everything! Including my own kids names...some days!

I am happy after a cup of coffee.

Love to you all~I will be planning on posting when I can.

Now the question is ...Who are you??
