Seven Sweet Little Facts.

This blog is sort of a game of 20Q, minus the Q.

Here are the rules, too bad I don't have seven friends on blogspot. :(

1. Share seven facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some fun.
2. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and links to their blogs.
3. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.



So, here we go:

1. I have a not-s0-secret desire to pack some of my belongs and move to Baltimore and buy a row house for me and my doggies. I would miss my family and some of my friends and I wouldn't like the harsh snows much, but I'd be happy there, I just know it.

2. I have extensive internet conversations regularly with friends that are solely games of 20 Questions and I wouldn't have it any other way. I think I'm quite addicted to the game. It probably stems from my fascination with surveys and the fact that I am almost entirely an open book.

3. I have more close friends living out of the state of Florida than I do living in Florida. This is not meant to offend any of my Florida friends, because I love each of them, but I truly believe I wasn't meant to be in Florida for the largest portion of my life. And one day, my darlings, I am going to leave this place.

4. I am excited about my gym endeavor. I've been going for about two months now and I love it. I can feel a difference in the way my clothes fit, my energy level, my strength, my mood, my appetite, everything (... except my actual weight). And I have accepted that even if I'm not making great leaps and strides of progress, if I am still dedicatedly going to the gym, working out, and eating healthier, I am still making progress. (... this is the ridiculously optimistic and found-me-on-a-good-day version of me.)

5. I am a walking, talking contradiction. But I am dedicated and passionate about being this way. And even though I may contradict myself severely on most, if not all of my standpoints, I still stand by them. I am who I am, and believe what I believe. I don't necessarily feel that contradicting oneself is a negative issue. Perhaps instead, a self-contradiction is a vital element of self-recognition.

6. I have plans to move from here this time next year. That's right; I'm planning on moving to New Hampshire. The biggest issue for me is going to be cost of living. I think the job front will be just fine and I'm pretty sure the actual moving will work out all right as well. But the cost of living is going to be a tough battle to strategize. How do I afford a place decent, that allows dogs, and isn't too far from everything? That's my biggest hurdle at this point.

7. I've broken my left femur on two different occasions.

Someone busier than you is running right now.

I have a confession to make to my spark buddy, Melissa: I did not go for a run last night. I'm terrible, I know. Here's what else I know: 1. I have never made such great progress in getting into shape as I did when I was jogging regularly. 2. My knee starts to stay in a constant state of noticeable discomfort after I've jogged for over a week. 3. I miss the liberating feeling of running. 4. I miss the empowerment of cross-training (biking, swimming, running) So I've been perusing the intarwebz for motivational media this morning. And while I hate Nike for their shoddy work ethic, jacked up prices, and apparently tiny clothes, I love them for their motivational material. I just have yet to find any media more inspiring to me than the following advertisements. And ... "I am addicted. I've collected footsteps before dawn. Seen places I never knew existed. Run to the moon and back. Been a rabbit for the neighborhood dogs. Obeyed the voice in my head. Let music carr...

I am Doris.

Thank you Laura for the link. This was interesting. I could relate to more than one of the posed situations. Your result for Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn? Or Someone Else?

Go Relax! (And I have a question for my readers.)

Okay ... maybe I've been under a bit of stress lately. I'll admit, I have a tendency to carry a packed schedule. And for the most part, I can do this quite well. But there are times -- and I think they come in waves -- that I need to gtfo and decompress. This is why you suddenly find out I went to the beach, or was MIA for an entire weekend. It happens. It's been happening for my entire adult life. Those who know me, either embrace it, or get over the fact that I'm not changing. But I have to confess, even for me, the schedule lately has been an overwhelming one. At the end of May I was looking at my calendar and realized from that day through the middle of July, there isn't a single vacant weekend. I wish I were kidding. As much as I love being busy and having parties, volunteering, getting together with friends for coffee, and all of that fun stuff, if I don't get to take a long, retardedly hot shower every few nights and turn my phone off from time to time, ...
