Dear Readers,

Welcome to my public blog. I use this blog now only for my non-family related posts. All of our family posts, including pictures and videos of our little guy, can now be seen on our private blog. Our private blog can be found HERE.

If you like to use Google Reader or blog lists to see when a blog has been updated, just keep this blog on those lists. I will put a post up on this blog letting you know I have posted on our private blog so that you will still get the updates.

If you would like an invitation to our private blog please leave your email address in a comment on this blog - comments must be approved prior to posting so no one else will see your address. Please don't hesitate to ask for an invitation if you have enjoyed keeping up with us through this blog. Blog Stalkers, it is time to make yourselves known! :) Seriously though, please ask for an invite if you want one and if you think I might not know who you are just give me a little reminder of how I know you.

Happy Blogging! -Lara

Random Tag

Tell 7 random/weird things about yourself that not many people know:

1. One of my favorite snacks is Nilla Wafers and cheddar cheese. I don't put the cheese on the wafers, but I like to eat a slice of cheese then a wafer then another slice of cheese and so on. I guess it is something about the sweet and salty . . . it is delicious!

2. I love Disney! I have been to Disneyland every four years for as long as I can remember (quite possibly my whole life, I'll have to ask my mom). The Cahoon family has a reunion there every four years. I also love Disney movies. I own over 30 Disney movies (mostly the cartoons) and have several more to get on my wish list.

3. I have a strange habit of smelling books! I love the smell of books (most books that is, each book smells different and some are no good at all). Actually, I guess maybe more specifically I like the smell of paper. However, I don't find myself picking up paper and smelling it, I mostly just do it with books. When I open a book the first place it goes is straight to my nose! I think that is pretty weird, but I keep doing it anyway.

4. I love thunder and lighting storms. When I was little, about the age when most kids are terrified of thunder and lighting, when there was a thunderstorm I would get my blanket and go sit out on our covered porch so I could watch the lighting and listen to the thunder.

5. I have a mini obsession with winter scarves, hats, and mittens. I have been trying to be good and not buy anymore because I have more than I can wear, but when I see a cute scarf, hat, or set of mittens I am always sorely tempted to buy them.

6. I have seen my own ear drum. In one of my audiology classes our professor brought in a video-scope that he stuck in each of our ears and we got to watch on a screen as it traveled through our ear canal up to the ear drum. It was slightly uncomfortable, but kind of cool to see. I was relieved that my ear wasn't too waxy because the image was displayed on a huge screen in front of the entire class!

7. I almost became an interior designer instead of a speech-language pathologist. My first semester of college I was enrolled in the interior design program. However, after pulling 8 all-nighters in one semester I got too burnt out and decided that interior design was not the future for me. I switched to a degree in Professional Preschool Education which ultimately led me to pursuing my degree in Speech-Language Pathology.
