I have loved reading everybody else's so I guess it is my turn. -shucks.
1. I love candy (fruity +sweet + sour). NOT Chocolate. I know.... everyone thinks I am weird.
2. I always finished in second when running against Marion Jones all though my childhood. My husband thinks I have a right to exchange all my silver medals to gold. (she really is a sweet girl, i don't really know what happened to her).
3. My birth father named me. Then when I was one, my brother and I never saw him again. weird huh.
4. I love almost anything with fur, except rats and opossums.
5. My heart aches and it tingles through my arms when I see animals hurt. Roadkill is hard on me. Don't get me started on the time I accidentally ran over a squirrel. i cried and cried......
6. I really don't eat vegetables, and I am rarely sick. Maybe someone has it all wrong?
7. I am pretty patient person. Except when a chubby baby has been crying and crying and it does not know how to take a bottle. A NICU nurse's nightmare. Maybe I really am not a patient person. geez.
8. I did wait 10 years for the hubby to propose. So there, I was patient.
9. I love him with my whole heart and soul.
10. We speak to each other in a made up language. we try to keep it to ourselves to avoid the ridicule of others. but, it makes us happy.
11. I love to decorate: my home, friends homes. anything.
12. My Grandfather became a lawyer at 65 years old.
13. I made a list of things I wanted to learn how to do when I was 20. The only thing left on that original list, was to learn how to fly. I still want to. I have since added to it, but not as many things as I thought I would have wanted to add over the years.
14. I have a book called My Book about Me by Dr. Seuss that I wrote about myself when I was six. I wrote that when I grew up I wanted to be a Nurse. For some reason I guess I forgot all about being being a nurse, and it took me until my sophomore year of college to figure out (again) that I wanted to be a nurse.
15. There were moments of nursing school, when I thought I could not see another adult in pain, or my heart would break. Somehow I ended up taking care of the sickest newborn babies, and my heart aches to my core when I see them suffering needlessly or I can't save them. But, luckily that does not happen very often.
16. I have many hobbies I am passionate about. my husband has one. it works out well.
17. The people in my life are special to me. I respect you, I learn from you, and you make me a better person just by knowing you.
18. I am not very good at verbal communication. I hate any confrontations. I will write you a note first before telling you how I feel in person. This is something that I am working on.
19. Watching other people in an awkward situations makes me incredibly embarrassed. I have to look away.
20. I love it when my husband's eyelashes are wet. he looks so cute.
21. Our Boyz- the two cats- are the loves of our life.
22. I could live on candy and diet pepsi for a very long time.
23. I just found yoga, and I really enjoy it. Despite the fact that I am not very flexible, I am pretty good at it. It surprises me.
24. I was the coxswain on the women's crew team in college in San Diego. I think my roommate and I were the ONLY freshman waking up at 4 am everyday to work out.
25. I have a little bit of insomnia, seeing as though I have worked the night shift for ten years. I try not to stress too much about it, but I love going to sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. : )
