About Me

The best word to describe my life in the past month is ... overwhelming. We just moved to Prosper, Texas (a northern suburb of Dallas). Getting the kids settled in school, Chris set up at his new store, and the house put in a semblance of order has been a 24/7 job! It's been 3 weeks since we moved in, and I can almost stop saying, "I know it's in a box -- somewhere!"

Anyway, when I needed a break last night, I went online and looked at my friend Kathy's blog. She issues a challenge to create a photo mosiac "All About You". Here's the rules:

The rules of the game:
a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image. (I cheated and looked until I found an image I liked!!)
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker. (http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/mosaic.php) Then upload or copy the completed mosiac to your blog.
d. If you're reading this, now consider yourself tagged! It took a while, but it's a lot of fun.

The Questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One Word to describe you.
12. Your Flickr name (or other online name)

Here's my answers:
1. First name -- Kristie. I love gerber daisys, especially red or bright orange.
2. Favorite food -- Chocolate. Anything dark and rich.
3. High School -- Olympus High School. This is a photo of Mt. Olympus in Salt Lake City.
4. Favorite Color -- right now it's lime green and deep red.
5. Celebrity Crush -- Steve Burton, aka Jason (from General Hospital ... I know ...) I'm a sucker for blond hair, blue eyes and great abs!
6. Favorite Drink -- Starbucks hot chocolate (non-fat with sugar-free vanilla and no whip cream)
7. Dream Vacation -- I have 2 actually. The one in the photo is Tahiti. The sand, the sun and the crystal blue water! The second is Italy. Tuscany, Lake Como, Capri and the Amalfi Coast. Both would be even better with friends along :)
8. Favorite Dessert -- Creme Brulee. You've got to love custard and caramel!
9. What I want to be when I grow up -- Physically Fit. It would be great to be a nice piece of work instead of a work in progress!
10. What I love most -- My freedom!
11. One word to describe me -- Pensive. Very, very, pensive!
12. Flickr name – kristiecummings. Original, huh! Nothing turns up when I search my name, so I just chose a photo I liked.

Anyway, thanks for the break from reality, Kathy! This was fun to do, and I hope you all have found out a few things about me you didn't already know.
