Electively Tagged: 11 Things About Me

Even though I wasn't tagged, I'm following the question train from Hello Vanny with 11 facts about myself.

• I have 4 lovely pets - 3 kitties and a pug. Their names are BK (Baby Kitty), Gizmo, Remy and Lilo.
• I have 5 tattoos (one is a pair) that all mean very important things to me. My most recent, a wren on my right-hand middle finger, is a dual tribute to Florence Welch and my best friend of many years, Kelly Wren. I do have plans for a half-sleeve on my right arm that may or may not happen, considering the artist that I want lives in the UK.
• I have met some of my closest friends on the internet. Chiefly; Tumblr. Suffice it to say, I am all-for internet relationships (friend and otherwise) and see it as a tool to connect similar people.
• I love to run, though I don't do it often enough to be good at it yet.
• I am very close to my parents and am very, very fortunate that they are still together after 25+ years.
• I get stressed out very easily and I'm trying to work on it.
• I have the goal of becoming a freelancer/stay-at-home Mom/blogger/crafter but made some big mistakes early enough in my life that I don't know if that's ever going to happen.
• By the end of this year, I'll have opened 3 Etsy stores - 1 for design, 1 for my vintage goods and 1 for my sculpted jellyfish.
• Yellow is the color of my life right now.
• I love the taste of coffee but can't drink it - there is something about the chemicals/caffeine in it that make me freak out and unable to focus.
• I spend a LOT of time planning and very little time doing, but I'm trying to turn that habit around.
