I am linking up to Java's post- Meet Me on Monday. Learn more about me through the five questions below. If you are looking for a fun blog to follow, be sure to check out Never Growing Old.

Questions:

1. Crunchy or soft tacos? I have come to prefer crunchy tacos. Since researching healthier food options, we found that the hard taco shells are lower on the glycemic index and usually have less calories. I also find the crunch to be more satisfying, which is an important part of my eating habits.

2. Do you scrapbook? I do scrapbook, but I have found that I don't keep up with it very well. My style is quite plain, but I enjoy the finished products. I have most recently gotten into scrapbooking for a specific event or making a book as a gift.

3. Do you take any daily medications? I take Synthroid for my thyroid issues and 24 hour Zyrtec twice a day for my allergies. I also take a multi-vitamin and a calcium supplement. The calcium includes Vitamin D and magnesium, all of which are especially important for women in general and women who exercise.

4. What is your favorite sound? I love the sound of a train whistle. I am hoping to find something that will simulate that sound to use in my classroom as an attention-getter.

5. Where were you born? I was born in Woodstock, IL. Before you ask... No, that is not where the popular concert was held. THAT Woodstock is in New York. The small town I was born in is just south of the WI border. I lived there until I was 11 years old.

  1. Hopped over from MMOM and loved your favorite sound answer. Though that is NOT my favorite sound as it wakes me up continually every night I appreciate it during the day! Hope you have a great day!

  3. I grew up 3 streets from the railroad track. That is a very soothing sound.

  4. Thanks for stopping by ladies!

    bethannchiles, I love the train sound no matter night or day. It actually helps me sleep at night when I can hear it. I REALLY need to find me one of those nature sounds CDs that have trains instead.

    Java, I'm so sorry! I am new to blogging, hopping, and linking. I thought I put the right link, but I apparently did not.

    blueyes, the last house we lived in in IL was about a quarter mile from the train track. There were only about three houses in between the track and my house. My bedroom was on the side of the train and I would fall asleep every night listening. That's probably why it's a favorite now.
