I have been tagged for honest scrap for quite a while, a good blogger friend, Alison Kerr at Loving Nature’s Garden, tagged me to be part of this. So I’m sorry for the lack of fresh air living post today. But, I hope it will get some fresh air to my blog and I hope you still will like me after my dark secrets are revealed.
To accept this award, I have to share 10 honest things about myself that you wouldn’t know from reading this site. And I have to tag 7 other bloggers to participate .
The post is about sharing facts you don?t know about me.
So here I go…
I traveled alone for three months in the US in 2003. I started in San Francisco, headed east to the deep south and ended in New York City. I stayed in hostels and hotels and traveled via greyhounds and trains.
I met my husband in South Beach, Miami during that road trip. We got married in three years later at the same beach with close friends and family from Norway, Florida and Canada.
I do not drive, it use to be a personal decision. Today I have just plain not got around to getting my license. I’m too lazy. But, it is on my to do list. But generally, I do not like driving, I like to walk.
I love picking and eating wild mushrooms. It is a passion of mine… So much so that I’m seriously thinking of becoming a professional mushroom hunter. No, I don’t want to be a truffle pig when I grow up.
Water is my element, I love to swim in fresh and salt and always try to start the season early and extend the season as long as possible. Not quite a Russian icebather but not faraway from it. My husband hates cold water.
I love to eat cod fish preserved in lye (lutefisk) but can’t stand the though of eating peanut butter. And though I consider myself professionally educated in both wine and food, I chew my gum way too loudly.
I am a Leonard Cohen fan. My husband played Cohen on the jukebox while we traveled together on my America tour. I think he got some bonus points for that.
Though I love nature and it always has been part of my life, I do not have a degree in Rec or environmental studies. Though, I used to be a scout and a scout leader.
I’m a little bit of a design junkie… I love design; architecture and landscape with my favorite being modern design from Scandinavia and the US.
I have to either live in the big city or out in the country. I do not do well in the between.
I’m sorry to tag you and hope you will not curse me.
