F is for _______________

August 8th, 2011

FRUGAL – I love to save money, mostly by not spending it. There’s a big difference between being frugal and being cheap – I’m not cheap. I will spend money on quality items that last, but I’m frugal because often I will find a way to make do without instead of buying something.

FEET – I’m foot phobic, I don’t like anyone’s feet but my own. Don’t know how I became this way but please keep you feet away from me, especially if they are without shoes!

FUNNY – Remember those outtakes? As an introvert many people don’t see this side of me because I can be very reserved, especially around others. Mr Chiots and a few others get to see the funny side of me.

FRECKLES – I’m covered with them, always have been. I hated them as a kid, now I love them. They’re definitely part of who I am. Now that it’s summer and I’m outside gardening all the time they’re super dark and they multiply like crazy. I always say that if my freckles would join forces I’d have a really nice tan!

FANATIC – I can be a bit fanatical about certain things, gardening, good food, good books, cookbooks, etc.

FREE SPIRIT – I’m a little out there, different, unique. I like doing things my own way.

FEARLESS – about some things. I’ll try just about any food, jump into new hobbies & try new things. I’m not afraid of not having something work out or failing. That being said – you’re not going to find me skydiving or doing any of that kind of crazy stuff!

FLAVOR – I love flavor, the more there is the better. Give me red pepper flakes on just about everything I eat, tons of herbs and spices, lots of black pepper, lots of butter and salt. The nice thing is that herbs and spices ramp up the nutritional value of what you’re eating. Bring on the flavor!

What words/phrases describe you that start with a F?

    Well, Funny, OBVIOUSLY. Sometimes, also, Fearful, which is something I fight against all the time. I’m of a naturally cautious nature.

    It is so nice to see someone with the same definition of frugal as I. And who likes flavor too, I think I spent too much time living all over the world to not appreciate the power of spices.

    I always hated my freckles too until I met my husband. His aunty was super freckly and he was brought up being told freckles were angel kisses so you can see why I came round :o)
    Today my F is for … forager.

      Forage is a good one – didn’t even think of that one!

    Farm-bred, born and raised. French-Canadian. Freakishly freckled. Famished, which leads to my least favorite F word….a little…fat.
