Always swore I'd never do this...but since I've added playing on Facebook as one of my hobbies, and 2 people "tagged" me today, I decided what the heck. I needed to do something entertaining and mindless to decompress for a few minutes today. And since I wrote them once, I figured I'd share them here, too.
So, things about me...
1. I got glasses in kindergarten...they were bifocals.
2. I skipped the first grade (not an easy social experience for a nerdy kid wearing bifocals!).
3. Together with my brother, we are godparents to our youngest cousin, Katie. She's awesome.
4. One of my great loves is coaching Girls on the Run.
5. I'm also a USA Triathlon certified triathlon coach.
6. I love to cook, but am a terrible baker.
7. Although I did make and present dessert once to the President's National Security Advisor.
8. I was the intramural racquetball champion at my university two years in a row.
9. My first car was my grandfather's 1976 sky blue Chevy Caprice convertible. I loved it!
10. I'm left-handed, but use a computer mouse, scissors and corkscrew right-handed.
11. Although I've intensively studied Russian, German and to a lesser extent Italian, I'm not currently proficient in any of them.
12. I still have a bottle of wine from a tasting in an underground winery in Moldova.
13. My road bike and triathlon bike both have names.
14. I have a not-so-secret crush on pro triathlete Craig Alexander.
15. But I still love my husband more than I ever thought it possible to love someone. (he's very understanding of #14)
16. I think my springer spaniel Ally might be my psychic twin.
17. I developed a seizure disorder when I was 26.
18. When I had my last seizure five years ago, I was driving and totaled my car.
19. I've developed a love of gardening, and we had our first organic vegetable garden last summer.
20. Other than me, no one knows whether I voted for McCain or Obama.
21. The two major personal goals I have right now are to complete an Ironman and find a way to live abroad for some period of time.
22. When we first met, my husband thought I was married to my brother.
23. I shattered my own tooth playing tennis by hitting myself in the face with my racquet.
24. I also broke my finger playing field hockey, and have matching gear scars on both my legs from falling over on my bikes.
25. I owned a hot pink bowling ball as a kid, and it now serves as a white-trash garden ornament in my vegetable garden.
