"Hi, my name is . . ."
Via Barb and Audrey, I have decided to join in the fun and post the survey on my blog. I am not wildly interesting or sleepily boring so here goes . . .
three physical things you like about yourself.
1) my legs - they're pretty strong.
2) my blue eyes - somewhat almond shaped.
3) my black toenails - they make me look tougher than I really am!
three physical things you don’t.
1) my stomach circa 2005 (I liked it circa 1996 - I am copying this
straight from Barb's blog) I don't have a lot of "junk in the trunk" because it all sits in my belly - seriously.
2) my arms - shake! rattle! & roll!
3) my high-arched feet . . . trouble-makers.
three things that scare you.
1) death and illness.
2) public speaking and being the center of attention (hence, the need for a small wedding).
3) the possibility of someday raising kids in a world that I am unsure of and question.
three of your everyday essentials.
1) bagels & candy (the sugary stuff like starburst jelly beans).
2) running.
3) coffee - black or a latte.
three things you are wearing now.
1) a 1960s-70s looking tie-dyed t-shirt.
2) Mizunos!
3) B's Polar watch.
three of your favorite bands or musical artists.
1) Belle & Sebastian - "Stars of Track & Field are beautiful people."
2) Cat Stevens - I once sang "Peace Train" and "Moonshadow" karioke.
3) Arcade Fire.
three things you want in a relationship
1) Trust and security.
2) Friendship.
3) Lots of laughs and happiness.
(B. has all of these and many more amazing qualities!)
two truths and a lie (which is a lie?).
1) I tried to fly when I was 4 and cracked a bone in my foot.
2) I have never had Clif Shot.
3) I met Michael Jordan.
three physical things that turn you on.
1) curious eyes.
2) an honest smile.
3) Soccer player legs.
three of your favorite hobbies.
1) Running/other sports.
2) Writing.
3) Exploring/Traveling.
three things you want to do really badly right now.
1) go running.
2) clean the kitchen (pathetic, I know, but it's messiness is driving me dizzy).
3) escape to an island somewhere with a pad of paper, a pen and a hammock.
three careers you are considering.
1) Teaching college composition.
2) Managing/owning a running store - in the distant future.
3) Writing . . . which falls under the umbrella of "dreaming." I have always wanted to be a starving artist ;)
three places you want to go on vacation.
1) Africa (my twin sister is leaving for Africa in July).
2) Europe (Germany, Italy, Spain . . . backpacking trip).
3) Hawaii.
three things you want to do before you die.
1) Travel the world.
2) Write a book.
3) Run a sub 3 hour marathon and maybe - just maybe - break 2:50 someday.

It's funny that your black toenails are one thing you like...they're one of the reasons that I don't like my feet, especially my toes!! I hate the way they grow back, all deformed and ugly looking! Ugly and all, I've gotten over it and will wear sandals again!

i do have to give a wahoo to the soccer player legs you suggest!

I totally hate my high arches too!
It seems like we have a lot in common over and above our dislike of our current bellies. I hope you will be able to do one of your dream professions :) And I definitely think you can break 3:00!

Funny! "public speaking and being the center of attention"...ooh, completely scary.
I hope your wedding planning is going well! When's the special day?
