Enigma I be

Admittedly, I am a strange person.

I love pretty dresses, tea parties and whatnot; but on the other side of things, I am completely at ease when, ahem, butchering animals.

On my bed you would find an array of books with titles ranging from, 'Mrs. Dunwoody's guide to homemaking', to Joel Salatin's book, 'Holy Cows and Hog Heaven'. The librarians have given up trying to figure me out. ;)

If I had to choose between a day shopping in town, and a day spent at home working in the barn, I would probably choose to stay home.

I call myself old fashioned, yet I have an MP3.

My idea of a fun day is to stay home, clean the barn, trim goat hooves, stack hay and shovel compost onto the garden.

People ask me what kind of music I like. My answer? Good music. I've never cared for bad music, but I do like good music. ;D I like variety. A little bit of classical, a bit of Celtic, some bluegrass, some Hammered Dulcimer, throw in a wee bit 'o' Josh Groban, and voila! You're lookin' at my mish mash of tastes.

The smell of coffee makes me nauseous. (my family is sure that there was a mix up at the hospital)

As much as I like pretty skirts and dresses, nine out of ten times, you will find me in a faded denim skirt, simple t-shirt, and a horrendous--looking green sweater (it's comfy, what can I say!).

I think it would be fun to have an emu! (what I would do with said emu, I have no idea.)

I don't really care for movies, yet can do quote after quote from various films with my sisters.

I love gardening, and my best crop every year is weeds. Hmm.

I like "eating healthy", but I also really like making chocolate truffles. ;)

So there! Now you know the truth! I am a strange character. But then, what a boring existence this life would be if people weren't strange in some way or another....
