About Me

I'm an Orthodox Christian, and I strive to follow Christ day by day. I'm blessed to be married to Deacon Steve. We have four wonderful kids! I love to create comics, art, sew, write and read. :)

Various facts you might or might not care about

Elizabeth has made me a nominee for the latest meme :) Thank you Elizabeth! Now, here it is: all the way from England and revised for the limited time Xenia Kathryn edition.

Five things I plan to do before I die:

(or rather, what I'd like to do before I die)

1. Illustrate/write a book
2. Give birth to my baby, and several more :D
3. Sew a quilt/get back into sewing
4. make pilgrimages to holy Orthodox sights
5. get back into iconography

Five things I can do:

1. Draw, paint
2. cook
3. read
4. roll my tongue
5. blow my nose

Five things I cannot do:

1. Run super fast
2. eat onions without gagging
3. bring myself to wear white shoes, white pants or hair extensions
4. math (I'm with you Elizabeth!)
5. burp on demand

Five things that attract me to the opposite sex:

(Job fits all of these, by the way)

1. deep voice
2. lips
3. compassion
4. heighth (tall and skinny-- that's the way I like'em)

2. I love you
3. Lord Jesus Christ Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner
4. Hi Baby (to Job)

Five celebrity crushes:

hmm... some of these are a bit of a stretch. Watch, I'll probably think of more once I'm finished here.

1. Colin Firth
2. Ewan McGregor
3. Jason Bateman
4. I used to have a crush on Mike Brady from the Brady Bunch
5. I think I'm done

I would list my nominees, but I've got to go get ready for work :) So if this looks like fun to you, have at it!

I change my mind. Put Gregory Peck in slot number five on that last one.

Mimi said...

Gregory Peck, duly noted!

Great to get to know you better, this is in my "to do" box today!

Hey, are you coming up to my house to make cards in November?

Xenia Kathryn said...

Mimi!
Unfortunately I have to work on the 11th. I tried to get it off, but to no avail. GRRR! I would have loved to have made cards with you and Dawn. Thank you both so much for the invite (and sorry for not sending you a personal e-mail... I'm sure I could have found it on your blog, but I'm being lazy right now).
Thank you again!

This was a fun blog, I even learned a few things about my wonderful Xenia.
Your Job

Drat! I'm sorry you'll miss it, but we'll have to do it again when you can attend!

Hey, Ron and Jennifer were Chrismated in my parish, and I sort of knew them (I was coming into Orthodoxy about the time they moved South) so tell them hello! They'd know me as Michelle.

Xenia Kathryn said...

Mimi,
That's really cool! The Orthdox world is a small one indeed :)
Ron and Jennifer are such great people.
I'll be sure to tell them you said hello!

Job,
Hey there sweetie! I hope you weren't miffed about my "celebrity crushes." You know you're still my #1 and only real crush ;) Love you so much!
