I have never done one of these before, for any number of reasons&#8230; one of which is because they are really hard!  Anyway, I figured it was time to give it a try.<\/p>\n<p>so, 7 things-<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I did not get onto a computer until 2000.  No email or anything.  It was my new millennium resolution.   Luckily I had a 9 year old boy in the house to help me out when I couldn&#8217;t figure out how to turn it on or off!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I am 4 out of 5.  My mom is 15 out of 18.  (Sorry about the picture, Tina!)<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image995\" alt=\"713family.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/713family.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I have a 5 pointed star in the middle of each palm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; My interests at 10 years old- dolls, needlework, gardening- no change.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I lived in London for a year when I was 9 years old.  That year had a huge impact on me.  I didn&#8217;t want to come home.  Life in Connecticut was just not as good.  I have made choices in my adult life based on the experiences of that year- the kind of house and neighborhood I wanted to live in, my relationship to an urban area, gardens and roses.  It also influenced how I wanted my kids to interact with the place they lived.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image996\" alt=\"713me.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/713me.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If my life had a soundtrack, it would be an audio book.  I listen to books all the time when I work.  I have books connected in my head with certain art works and visa versa- dolls with stories.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; hmm, one more thing&#8230; well, I don&#8217;t watch tv.  We have one, but it can go for many weeks without being turned on.  I&#8217;ve never seen Survivor, the Sopranos, West Wing or Sex in the City.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that&#8217;s it.  Wow, like I said- that was hard.  I am not going to name anybody because I think everyone else has already done it.<\/p>\n<p>I am taking 2 tikis with me on our trip, since they are mostly handwork.  That means I might have something to show you when I get back.  Also, I still have some space in the doll workshops- July 28 and August 4.  Let me know if you are interested.  I will be emailing and confirming with everyone who expressed an interest.  I am really excited about it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am leaving for vacation tomorrow- I&#8217;ll be away for a week.
