Fun Fact Friday:

1. I drink more water throughout the day if I have a straw in my glass.
2. I learned to type on a very old, heavy, black metal typewriter. If I typed too quickly, the key bars entangled before they hit the ink ribbon.
3. Unintentionally, my window blinds are closed more often than they are open. If I open them too early in the day, our house becomes a sauna in the hot sun. However, once the sun passes overhead, I simply forget to open the blinds amidst the hustle and bustle of the day. Therefore, they default to staying closed majority of the time.
4. I have a hard time using and managing digital calendars. I do much better with good old fashioned pen/pencil and a simple $1 calendar.
5. I’m toying with the idea of scrapbooking my hard copy pictures by using a page protector-type method. I am still learning about this concept, but it seems a lot easier than the cutting, trimming, stickers, ribbons, gluing, stencils and background decorating I’ve tried in the past. I’m leaning toward using the companies “Project Life”, “We R Memory Keepers”, or “Simple Stories.” I still have some research to do in order to know what I truly want and/or need. Have any of you tried these methods? Are there any pros and/or cons I should know about them?
6. Our kids earn their “screen time” minutes by completing their daily chores by 9:00am.
7. I prefer viewing a majestic mountain setting over looking at a beautiful ocean view. I like the varying shadows, interesting textures, rich colors and sharp angles that make up a mountain scene. It’s incredibly breathtaking to me. I am blessed to live in a place where I can actually view both, if I so desired.

To God be the Glory, He has created such beauty for us to enjoy!
