Eleven

There are five rules:
1 // Post these rules.
2 // Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things.
3 // Answer the questions set for you in the original post.
4 // Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.
5 // Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you've tagged them.

MY 11 RANDOM THINGS
1 // My daughter has 2 middle names. I put a lot of thought and meaning into her name and I adore it.
2 // My mum has 80+ first cousins, and I have 3.
3 // I'm not keen on muscly guys. Aesthetically it doesn't reeeally appeal to me. Weird right?
4 // I have two pieces of jewelry that are really special to me, both rings that I alternate on the same finger.
5 // My daughter was due on my birthday. She came 6 days early instead.
6 // I have moved house more times than I can count, my mum was always a bit of a gypsy and my parents have been separated since I was little so you put that together...
7 // History fascinates me.
8 // My bestest friends in the whole wide world are Angela & Lauren, I'm pretty sure there was an audible *click* when we met.
9 // I didn't actually pay for either of my pets, I rescued my dog and my kitten was a gift from my mother <3
10 // The only foods I don't like are pumpkin, ginger, tinned salmon and meat off the bone.
11 // I actually published this with only 10 facts. So my 11th is that I am extremely forgetful!

ANGELA'S QUESTIONS
1 // Where were you born?
I was born in Mitcham, and the family home was in Healesville.
2 // What type of music do you enjoy?
Hip-hop! Underground, mostly American artists. One of my greatest passions in life.
3 // Do you have any bad habits? E.G. biting your nails etc.
I am sure I have billions of bad habits. Including the fact I am hardly ever on time.
4 // Do you scrunch or fold?
I'm a big ol' scruncher.
5 // If you had $1m, how would you spend it?
I would build my dream home, kit it out and depending on how much was left, start a business, put away some for my children's education and donate to a charity I loved.
6 // What is your favorite flavor of yogurt?
OMG. So glad you asked this question, the Gippsland Blueberry Yoghurt is AMAZING.
7 // What would be your dream job? (it can be completely unrealistic.)
Some weird balance between a stay-at-home mum, helping run the family business and working with young mums.
8 // What did you imagine your life to be like at your current age, when you were in yr 7?
I thought I would be in uni, looking for my (yet to be discovered) husband.
9 // What is better Chocolate Thickshakes or Vanilla Thickshakes from McDonalds?
Definitely chocolate, although I am partial to strawberry.
10 // Have you ever accidentally walked up to the wrong car and tried to get in? Explain.
Why yes, yes I have. You see I went up to pay for my fuel and on my way back I was fiddling with my wallet an next thing you know I am apparently trying to break into a car that was most certainly not mine. Oops.
11 // Are you a morning person or a night owl?
I am not particularly either yet I am both. Whatever I need to be I guess.

MY QUESTIONS

And I don't know how to link so hopefully people just love me enough to do it. I am genuinely interested to hear their answers :)

Introducing

So, I thought I would introduce myself in my first blog, and give you a quick snapshot into who I am. Maybe in dot point form, with a little expansion...? Agreed.

...Awkward if you didn't agree.

- I am lucky enough to be a mother, I had my beautiful little Mono when I was sixteen, she is the best thing that ever happened to me and I'm not being the slightest bit biased when I say she is the most amazing, beautiful girl in the whole world. I am positive there will be many blogs dedicated to her to come.

- I have a total of five siblings, I loved it (still do) and I hope I will be blessed with a big family too. I am the second youngest FYI.

- I am a little bit addicted to cake. There is no expansion necessary on this dot point because I don't discriminate, I love all cake.

- I am a fairly new christian, and it is a very exciting journey to be on. Discovering God, developing a relationship with Jesus, reading the bible... I would probably go to church every day if I could. I love my church. I love my bible. I love my generous, gracious God.

- I adore hip-hop. Not that radio stuff, that real stuff. I have so many favorites but Immortal Technique, Vinnie Paz, I'll Bill, Slaine & Diabolic are probably my top five. It's intelligent, socialist, aggressive... Unfortunately none of my friends/family share my enthusiasm.

- My greatest dreams are to be a great mother and a great wife and look after a great home. Family is so important to me and I adore having my own little one. I think being a stay-at-home mum and housewife is very undervalued in today's society, but that is 100% what I want :)

- I have my tongue pierced. I just wanted to throw that in there.

- Mu daughter and I are learning Spanish and it is a lot of fun.

- A couple of things that get me worked up: Breastfeeding, gay rights, abortion, young mothers, judgement... For the record, pro, pro, against, we have such a stereotype attached, and against.

- I have a dog (king charles) called Max and a kitten (rag-doll) called Duke.

I have encountered many, many things in my 20 years and I have boundless inspiration in the form of my little rosa mono so I have plenty to write about and hopefully you will find it amusing.

Until next time...

P.S. More photo's to come! I am just far too tired to hunt them down :-)
