I’m very sentimental.
I’m very easily distracted.
I have almost died twice.

I love this! That yellow bird picture is super pretty. My husband went skydiving when he turned 30 and that got a big NOPE from me. lol. I am terrified of heights! I might have to remember to do this on my blog … it looks like fun!

So good to know a little more about you! Your desk looks like mine and Things I’ve Always Wanted To Do (but haven’t yet) is very similar as well except instead of skydiving, I want to go hiking on the frozen river Zanskar at 12000 ft in Himalayas! I love the picture you sister painted!

I remember this meme feom the old days! (I miss the coziness of blogging 12 years ago.) It was interesting to read the “bullet points” about your life, and while I could have guessed you are sentimental, I never knew about the “almost died twice.” So glad you’re okay!
p.s. I am carrying on with the Bible of course, and now am finishing up Isaiah.

That’s great! I’m back in Ezra. Still going, but rather irregularly paced.

I missed this meme first time around – glad you’ve revived it.
Who are your funko pops? All I could make out was Dr Strangelove.
Given the 2 near death experiences, should you really go skydiving?😉
