My 7 tidbits...
1. When I was young I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew-up and I always said...a bus driver. Why? No clue whatsoever. I never rode the bus as a child and I don't think I had ever even been on a bus when I aspired to this career. I think I was in kindergarten at the time and the prospect of aspiring to drive people around the city in a bus baffled and worried my parents.
2. In my most recent years I have developed an irrational fear of the dentist. I have no basis for this fear but I am brought to tears thinking about having to go in for even a cleaning. There was no one incident that caused this but I have, in recent months, cancelled several appointments. I just don't want to go. I am supposed to get a broken tooth pulled but I am managing just fine with Advil, thank you. I know, I know. I'll go...I'll just need a Valium first.
3. In high school, I was mediocre student. I was far more interested in socializing and planning what to do on a Friday night. I didn't fail classes (probably a B average) but my parents were constantly saying, "...the things you could do if you would just apply yourself." Still a student 10 years later and I am now the most obnoxious over achiever. Michael has witnessed a few too many "A- melt-downs". That's A MINUS! I would say it's due to being more mature but I'm not sure mature is the right word.
4. No surprise to people that know me, I love music. However, I rarely listen to music anymore, especially in the car. I have no idea what's hot or new on the billboards. I have very few CDs in my car and no iPod connector. It's a little depressing and not so much a conscious decision but driving in my car is the only quiet time I have in my life right now. It is the only time I am alone with my thoughts and my one chance during the day to just be QUIET and meditate a little. I do listen to my iPod when I work out but that doesn't happen as often as I would like.
5. I have a not-so-secret love affair with sushi. I could eat sushi for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...everyday. I want to go to Japan just to eat cheap sushi 24/7. I much prefer raw fish over cooked. I buy smoked salmon from Costco and just eat it plain, 1 1/2 lbs all by myself. If I was on death row, my last meal would be a smörgåsbord of rolls from Tsunami.
6. If I were magic and could choose only one magical power to possess, I don't think I could pass up being able to teleport from one place to another. I could totally go to Japan and have sushi for lunch and be back to work in time. However, a close second would definitely be to...wait for it...pee mentally. Yes, I said pee mentally. Do you know how much time I could save if I didn't have to go to the bathroom? Lots! Urinating is a normal physiological function but I find it inconvenient and much too time consuming.
7. I have lived in 5 different states, 11 different cities, visited 6 different countries and 21 different states. Michael and I love to travel and agreed that we would take a vacation every year no matter what. We have been on three cruises together which makes a total of six for me. We are hoping to go on an Alaskan cruise next year and to Italy or Denmark in 2012.
And the nominees are...(sorry if you hate tags)

ReplyDeleteYou ARE a beatiful blogger ('course I'm biased because I'm your mom) and I'm so glad Meredith nominated you so you would write this entry and we can see how you can be witty about ANYTHING. So glad you changed your career choice. Love you!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I REALLY don't remember you wanting to be a bus driver. Haha I must have cured you of that the time I threw up on the bus, right? :)
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on the sushi! I LOOOOOOVE sushi. Next time you are in Vegas, or driving through, please call me. We'll have sushi, and I'd really love to meet Michael! :)
And how do you pee mentally? You should choose the ability to teleport anything, not just yourself. Then you could still go to Japan, and you could just teleport the urine out of your body. At least THAT makes sense... peeing mentally... come on now. ;)
Oh the travel. How lucky you are to share that passion, and to have the means to facilitate it! :)
