Can you believe the nerve of this sunny lady? ;) Just teasin'
Ok, so you all know the rules... Tell 7 (things you don't know about me), Tag 7 (other lucky, unknowing participants).
1) I am currently wearing a ridiculous pair of shockingly-electric pink, velourish pants that I picked up for a "Retro-Ball" last summer (they were the most awful, "not me" things I could find and I've grown to love them). THAT's a confession!
2) I am a certified SCUBA diver, a Whitewater River Guide, and an aspiring (if you could call it that) surfer, but no where near the marathon swimmer you'd expect after hearing all that! Yes, I swim... but marathons? Unless they allowed the back-float, I'd drown.
3) For the past 4 years, I literally lived in a tent by the river, during the summers while working as a guide. Talk about a small carbon-footprint!
4) I got me a edumacationthingy. Though "river guide" often conjures up images of uneducated, crazy (ok, we are a bit crazy), drunken, derelicts-- look twice, that stereotype is oft broken! I've worked with guides that are software and environmental engineers, highly trained, inspirational leaders in various disciplines and, as for me... I got a degree from Pepperdine University (which I had to have an academic scholarship to be able to afford). Luckily, I'm a bit smarter than I look. ;)
5) Even though they say it's bad for you because of the raw eggs (salmonhuh?), I still LOVE cookie dough! Homemade is best!
6) Palau has been on my Go-To list for a LONG time, but hasn't come to fruition yet. I'm not even sure why I feel so drawn to Palau particularly (not that it doesn't have plenty of beauty and wonder), but none the less, I WILL go one of these days!
7) Despite having somewhat of a fear of heights (big ones), I have jumped off the World's Highest Swing-- The Canyon Swing in Queenstown, New Zealand. I thought my heart would beat it's way right out of my head!
And now... TAG! You're IT!

WOW!!!!! Amazing stuff! Makes my 7 seem rather boring... LOL!!!!! Thanks for being such a great sport and doing this. I really enjoyed learning more about the person behind the blog. ;)
Thank you! And Yours were NOT boring!! Take that back! ;) When you tagged me, knee-jerk reaction was "oh no, not one of these." But once I decided to do it, I figured I may as well have fun with it! And I did-- thank you! Glad it was fun reading. :)
I did it! Thanks for thinking of me. I really enjoyed reading your seven too!

Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I think being a river guide would be fantastic if not for the scary rapid and stuff like that LOL :) I'm am such a wimp. Oh well. Have a fantastic weekend!

Hi Beholden, sorry for the last response, but I am very much under the weather. I posted this comment so you would know that I am very eager and happy to participate in such a project, I just have to shake this cold before I can get back to activity again. In the meantime take care.
