Time to pass the love around...


I received an award from gracious miss lopinon4! Check out her blog No hoof, No Horse? if you have not already.

So, with this award, I am to share 7 things about myself that are currently not known to my blog-readers, and then tag 15 fellow bloggers. Ok here goes it...

1. I have a bachelors degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. I am going to graduate school to study behavioral ecology and sociality in mammals.

2. I have done a bit of traveling in my short life. I have been to Australia, New Zealand, Kenya, England, St. Lucia, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama and Canada in April. I spent the summer as a field assistant in Panama and Costa Rica studying singing mice in mountain cloud forests and it was the best thing that I have ever done (besides buying Bodhi of course!)

3. I was in a band for a while. I played bass and sang. We just played local bars and clubs but it was a lot of fun.

4. I hate escalators, umbrellas, static electricity and peanut butter.

5. I love to dye my hair. I have no idea what my natural color is since I have been dying it non stop since I was 13. It has been blue, green, purple, pink, yellow, orange, but mostly it is some shade of red. I liked forest green the best

6. I like to paint. I was an art major before I took up zoology. Oils and Oil pastels mostly. I do a lot of horse portraits (big surprise).

7. My husband and I have been married for a year and a half but we have been together for nine. We met in that band I told you about. He was the guitarist.



Whew... Ok now to name 15 blogs.

  7. It was fun to read your 7 things. I used to try to have red hair, but red hair color fades so fast, I gave up. Never tried green though.
