HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Every three years?

Sigh. I always have such good *intentions* to do something awesome for April Fools. Honest. But, I haven't managed to actually pull any good pranks for awhile now. In lieu of that, how about resurrecting something I did three years ago? Here's a list of random things. Most are true. Guess which three aren't. :)

1. I purchased songs from iTunes for the first time ever earlier this week.

2. Yesterday, I overheard these words, "You really need to work on your Chewbacca sound." Really.

3. I went running this morning.

4. Micah asked me to email Lego to find out if you need to go to college in order to be a Lego designer.

5. The boys were using their Nerf guns to shoot their Lego minifigures much of yesterday afternoon.

6. I strongly dislike getting massages.

7. I already have a number of things for the boys' Easter baskets but nothing to send with them for lunch on Monday (to Options).

8. I actually managed to scrapbook a few layouts last month but haven't gotten around to photographing them to share.

9. Micah's kindergarten alphabet words of late were Xavier (his middle name...handy like that, eh?) and Yoda. He made a finger puppet Yoda to take with him to Options that day. (We'd finished reading "The Strange Case of Origami Yoda" just before.)

10. I get cold often and easily...to the point that I sit on a heating pad when at my computer and have an electric blanket on my bed still.

11. I'm sadly addicted to Angry Birds on my iPhone.

12. Last night, I finished printing off all of the invites and such for my baby brother's wedding this summer.

Okay. Guess which three aren't true. Go!

I'll be back with the answers tomorrow. And, I know I didn't get around to more posting this week like I'd promised. I'm thinking I'm going to start reviewing some curriculum programs soon, though, so stay tuned!

Oh. And if you have any really good (but not too mean) April Fools pranks to share, I'm all ears!! (Even if I can't manage it this year, maybe if I start now I'll actually manage it for next year, lol!)

I say, #6, #1 and #11.

Let's see if I am right. :) Cute idea. I may 'borrow' it.
