11-11

I'm not one to tag or be tagged, but considering my randomness lately I'm taking Misty up on her all encompassing tag.

If you want to play along, tag - you're it!

11 Random Things

1-A million years ago I was a darn good clarinetist in terms of musicality. My sister was the master technician and our band conductor said that if you combined the two of us we could have made a go at playing professionally.

2-I tend to eat junk food while watching episodes of The Biggest Loser...the bigger the bowl of ice cream, the better.

3-Until recently I refused to wear nail polish because my nails are short. Lame, but true.

4-When I was young I thought I would have everything I ever dreamed of by the time I was 30, then I realized that real life was better than anything I could ever dream (aside from endless trips to Europe and an overflowing bank account).

5-The last long run I did (back in AUGUST) I had my first black toe nail. It's growing out nicely...still.

6-Muppet is nearly 26 months old and I still haven't spent a single night away from him. All that is going to change next Tuesday and I'm kind of crapping my pants about it.

7-I have worn the same pair of shoes nearly every day for the last 18 months and you can tell.

8-The series Downton Abbey is wonderful. Yeah, I'm a nerd.

9-Reading Dr. Suess in French is HARD, but a great mental teaser...the down side is it makes me want to go to France. RIGHT THIS MINUTE.

10-I have an envelope stashed in my house labeled 'Norway.' Currently, there is only $11 in the envelope. Good thing my goal is my 40th birthday.

11-The town I grew up in had less than 1,000 people and a penny candy store.

Misty's questions

1. What is the love of your life?
Dancing and sports medicine

2. Who is the love of your life?
My husband, more and more every day.

3. Why do you run?
Lately, I haven't been. I've spent a lot of time walking though...

4. Why aren't you running right now?
I'm at work...

5. Are you being the world you wish to see?
Honestly, no. I spend more time than I should worrying about the bad.

6. Are you living the words you speak?
Mostly, yes.

7. Is there anything, right now, that you wish you could do but have been afraid to try?
Audition for the Rockettes

8. What's the reason you haven't tried it?
Can't justify the expense of flying to auditions with ZERO chance of landing a job.

9. What's the worst that could happen?
I suppose I could hurt myself, but that's never stopped me.

10. What's the likelihood of that actually happening?
Not great simply due to AGE (blah)

11. Now tell me again why you haven't done it?
I'm too old and too poor! ;-)

I tend to find myself eating things like pizza or chips during the Biggest Loser and then telling myself it's alright because I worked out earlier! :)

Great list! Hope you get to Norway!!!

very cool lists!

we are also OBSESSED with Downton Abby. We have the most current episode on dvr waiting to be watch when my husband gets home from his work trip, and it's taken all my energy not to sneak-watch it!
