No birthday wishlist yet, I just can't seem to find enough time to sit down and make it. Maybe tomorrow. For now, another little installment of the name game...20 questions....getting to know you.
{I took these photos 1 year ago, today, it's fun looking back at photos that are exactly one year old.}
6. When I was a child, I had a reoccurring nightmare about a blob monster that ate everything except beds, and hiding under beds was the only way to save yourself. I dreamed this almost every night until I was at least 12, if not older. I still have no idea what it means.
7. I started saving for college from the moment I was born; my grandpa opened a savings bond for me. When I was 9, I started babysitting a lot and put every penny of it into my college fund. I dropped out of high school when I was 15, went back, made up all of my failed classes in night school, and graduated with my diploma at 16. I had my Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts by the time I was 21.
8. While working as a videographer for PBS, I shot a segment of a minute men rally in Tombstone that was submitted for a regional emmy. We didn't get nominated, but it was rad to think that the producers loved it enough to submit it for consideration.
9. I have never tasted a french macaron that I didn't make. I would love to try them from someone else. {hint hint}
10. When I turned 6, my mom made mousey cupcakes for my birthday party. It was poolside, and we invited 6 other girls. Unfortunately, I ended up being the odd-man-out, and felt really sad that I got left out at my own birthday party. But I remember loving those cupcakes. My mom and I haven't talked in almost a year, since my birthday last year. How sad.
I have three puppies that want to snuggle and I am exhausted. Tomorrow *may* be my last day at the bakery. Some things have changed in the past day, but I don't know yet, so I don't want to say anything, except that we all have to wait until tomorrow, including me.
Tell me somethings about you, so I can get to know you, too. I loved reading all the comments last time, really!
xo,

ReplyDeletesomething about me...hmmm...
i had sleep paralysis last night and started to hear these really loud turbo-fan like noise in my ears, which they say happens when your about to have an outer body experience! but then i got scared and woke myself somehow and all the sound immediately disappeared.
wow, didn't mean to get weird real fast! lol. but it's what i could think of right now.
oh also, i LOVE your glasses that i see floating around the blogisphere! what a talented duo!
Thanks for your compliment Gale!
ReplyDeleteThat sleep paralysis deal sounds super scary! I've read about it before. Yikes! Thanks for sharing though!
Hey Beca,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know I am featuring Tumbleweed on my Wednesday Wish List today. I am a new start-up blog, so I don't know how much traffic I'll get, but I truly love your product (and blog). I couldn't think of anything more appropriate for a sunny, summer Wednesday
I had a odd birthday party when I was 10. My birthday is in the summer and I wanted to have a sleep over but all my friends I invited were at camp or on vacation with parents/grandparents so only one girl came (she lived down the road.) We had a blast and made a teddy-gram beach cake but it sucked I had one girl over for my first slumber party :(

Thanks for all these lovely, and some sad things, about you.
ReplyDeleteAbout me? Well I remember lots of my dreams for instance.
When I was little I had dream about a bad guy coming into my house and me flying out of my house across the street over the roofs and then I ended up right where I started... It repeated itself a couple of times.
I remember one birthday I didn't like too. A girl I invited started to entertain everyone with something I got that day and was super excited about, but when it was my turn everyone was like "yeah we saw her do it, that was enough". And everyone was making a mess so I got the vacuum out and started cleaning up. I think I was 9.
End on a light note shall we?
I read my magazines backwards:)
Nobody ever tells you how exhausting it is having doggies. But even though they are knackering and stinky, we love them so!
ReplyDeleteAlso- I didn't see my dad for four years (from 17 to 21 years old) and now we get along. You never know what will happen.

Your school & video stories are just confirming how awesome you are.
ReplyDeleteI have reoccurring nightmares about loose teeth/loosing teeth. They're awful and I wish I knew what they meant, if they indeed mean anything.
