Random Facts


  1. I have a line that grows down the middle of one fingernail and causes it to break every stinkin’ time.  (I’ll take any tips to get rid of that you have! LOL)
  2. My favorite color is orange but I have an affinity for bright ocean colored blues.
  3. When I’m trying to do something and my dogs won’t leave me alone, I do whatever they want so they’ll shut up.  Don’t judge me.  LOL
  4. I always tell our daughter to focus on whatever task she is doing but if I get distracted I go on doing whatever it is that distracted me and frequently don’t finish the original task.
  5. I can’t help but psychoanalyze everything I come across – thank you psychology.
  6. I have a hard time not getting deep with these things, but I’m sure you noticed that.  😛
  7. My absolute favorite food is a salad so long as there is a good salad bar.
  8. I obsess over earning on swagbucks.  LOL.  Run back and forth to play videos while I’m cleaning.  I rationalize it that I’m earning money and exercising more by doing so.  Again, don’t judge…  😛
  9. My ‘office’ is in the laundry room.  It doesn’t help me get the laundry done.
  10. If I don’t know what I’m cooking for dinner early, I freak out about it all day long.


Patience in the Jungle’s Questions:

  1. Why did you start your blog?  I started my blog to vent my frustrations with my narcolepsy and cataplexy, then I realized I didn’t need a platform for that and found my love for reviews, crafts, and sharing!
  2. What is your favorite recipe?  My favorite recipe at the moment is my Coconut Lime Chicken Soup.  If you haven’t tried it, give it a chance.  It’s amazing! No coconut flavor, so don’t worry about that.
  3. Where is your favorite place in the world?  My house, I know, lame.
  4. What is the best piece of advice you have received?  Pray about it.
  5. What is your goal for your blog?  Oh, that…  People keep saying I should have a goal, it’s on my to do list!
  6. Do you have any secret talents?  I can read people and seem to know what to say to them to make them feel better.
  7. What would your last meal ever be?  Delicious!  No idea other than I would want it to be really good!  Maybe a combination of things: nachos, fajitas, ice cream, spaghetti, my husband’s jambalaya chicken, ice cream, strawberry shortcake and tiramisu.  Yep, all in one meal.  Might as well go all in.  Not like feeling sick will matter!
  8. What is your favorite holiday and why?  Christmas.  I love the reason for it, with all I am.  I also love decorating for it and how everyone gets so much nicer!
  9. What is your guilty pleasure?  trashy TV shows I’m not ready to admit yet…
