Hi Everyone! Sorry about the long silence, I guess that I have found enough stuff to do!!
Today I decided that I am going to share a little bit that you might not know about me.
1. I like fixing things and figuring out how they work.
2. I know how to play the piano, and enjoy composing. Which is kind of funny, because looking back on the blog, mom had a post in which I was playing the piano! (Find the post here )
3. I like snowmobiling and four wheeling, and know how to drive both! Which I really like doing! Daddy has taught me to drive things from a young age!
4. I like to cook and bake, and decided on my own when it was time to start! And almost gave Mom a heart attack by doing it! Mom and Dad were sleeping in on a Saturday morning when suddenly... they heard the oven door open!! Dad rushed downstairs, and found me making baked oatmeal. I had recently gotten a baking set, and so far it had only been used for play, until today! I matched up the measurements,the one four to the one four and the one two to the one two. Doing this I managed to actually make a successful baked oatmeal. I had wanted to surprise Mom and Dad, but once they heard the oven rack slide out, they were down in a flash. It was still enjoyed though, and that afternoon I got my first lesson on baking!!😜
5. I love little kids and have taken the baby-sitting course. I have been counting down the days until I get to babysit (age 12!!) since I was 7.
6. I like spicy food. Now I wouldn't douse my pancakes with paprika, but in my case "Spice is Nice!"
7. Even though I am Canadian, I only REALLY learned to skate when I was around 9. But now I'm a big fan!! I even played my first game of hockey on ice last winter! ( You can tell that only my Dad is Canadian!)
8. I was training for a 5K, (3.1 miles for all of the Americans out there!) but it got postponed, due to... you guessed it Corona.😟 And since then I have lost gumption. I mean can you blame me? A large half of April it has been snowing.
9. Even with Manitoba's wacky weather, (It was snowing yesterday!! And today it is so nice that I should probably be outside instead of writing this blog post, and could probably do so without a jacket.) I still love it here, and don't think that I want to leave.
10. I love facts. I have a crazy amount of facts floating around my brain... maybe due to the substantial amount of reading I do. Did you know that a baby giant panda is the size of an ice cream sandwich at birth? And speaking of ice cream, did you know that the first banana split sold for 10 cents?
11. I love researching things. Also possibly one of the reasons I know so many facts. My dream job... besides being the mother of 18 kids... would be in research!
12. I have eaten pig and cow heart. Pig heart is like chewy chicken strips and cow heart is like bacon bits. ( Sorry to all of the vegetarians! )
13. I like coloring intricate designs, and enjoy making color schemes.
and last but not least...
14. My favorite Bible verse is Joshua 1:9.
Have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous, do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you, wherever you go.
I hope you have a great day!!
Grabbing some shoes, a sweatshirt and heading out,
Alia
