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.

This Just In...

One of my favorite members/clients just called for the second time today. He is one of my favorites because he's always polite, asks to talk to me when he needs something he knows is my job to do, and always says he appreciates everything I do here. Earlier he said I sounded tired and that I should catch up on my sleep all weekend, the second time he called, he said I sounded a little better, but I must have partied far too hard. When I told him I actually worked last night, he said, "wow, you work two jobs... dang girl." I've decided I'm taking that as a compliment. This just in : I hung up the phone after taking a message from him and it immediately rang back. When I answered it, it was him AGAIN. This time I laughed when he identified himself and said, "you just want to talk to me, don't you?" His answer was actually yes. When I politely declined, he was all, "oh, I understand. Could I talk to Fred?" When I turned around to look for Fred...

603.

I never told you this story, but when I was a three, I had to have physical therapy for a broken femur. Every single day we drove to PT, we went over a small, fairly insignificant overpass with had a shopping plaza below it. The address for the shopping plaza was just barely visible over the bridge. And it was 603. And every single day as we went over, I would excitedly blurt out the numbers to show my mom I recognized them. This turned into a game for us. And eventually, a tradition. Fast forward into my "more grown up" ages ... like ... high school. And, if you could be a fly in my truck, you would have without a doubt witnessed me driving over the overpass by myself and, sure enough, I'd just say it ... "six oh three." Shortly after high school is when I met Seth, Tommy, Leif, Troy, and Jonesy in Gainesville. Still, there was no connection. Their friends and families came to visit, we then bonded, they returned home, and still, nothing. It wasn't until th...

The heat is on...

I've got to admit, now that people are actively involved with following and commenting on this blog, I feel pressured to write legitimately interesting stuff. Some things that peeve me: 1. I typically don't complain about misspellings of my name, but after three years, my co-worker still doesn't know my name is spelled with one L. Whenever he writes a message for me, he directs it to "All-" ugh. Initially I thought, maybe this message is for ALL of us. Wrong. It's specifically for me, he just doesn't know it only has one L. And I bet a million pesos he also doesn't finish spelling it out because he doesn't know it ends in i-s-o-n. I mean, it is a tricky name after all. 2. I went grocery shopping yesterday. I had a list of five things to get in Publix: dog food, dog treats, Gatorade, wine, toilet paper. I came out with 15 things (I counted because I wondered if I could squeeze into the express check-out... nope). I came out with 15 things -- NONE of...
