My recently renewed friendship with a high school friend, Keely, has produced a tagging. I now have to come up with 25 things about myself. Crap!
1. I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah
2. I have also lived in San Diego, CA and Pensacola, FL
3. I have a blind cat with an eating disorder
4. I love Science Fiction
5. I love to camp, hike, backpack, and generally anything that gets me outdoors
6. I have more interests than one life can accommodate
7. No matter how many personality tests I take, I am an INFP (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving)
8. I love making pies
9. I love eating pies
10. I have only two more continents to visit (Antarctica and South America)
11. I tend to have more than one book going at a time
12. I laugh loudly
13. I still drive the car that I bought in 1993 (I have attachment issues)
14. One of the strangest experiences I have had was while having a Hamam in Morocco. Any inhibitions I had were completely and mortifyingly eliminated.
15. For some reason my husband still thinks I am the cat's meow
16. I have to have music on when I clean the house. That way I can break into song while I am cleaning the toilet.
17. I can often be caught putting my p.j.'s on before 5 p.m. especially in the winter (yes they usually are flannel)!
18. I am nutty for animals.
19. I still love to dance. Been dancing since I was 3 years old.
20. I once spent 2 weeks out in the desert doing an Archaeological Dig. It was some of the hardest weeks of my life, but I loved every second of it.
21. I am still as curious as a child (ask my husband)
22. I want to learn to speak Spanish
23. I'm as stubborn as a mule; its genetic
24. I have tinnitus and hypothyroidism (one is being treated, the other is untreatable)
25. I picked Speech-Language Pathology as a career so that I can help people from birth to death. Makes for a lot of people and a lot of variety.
I was just reminded of another thing about myself, so this will be extra credit:
26. I tend to overreact to just about everything. I just had a bloody nose and spent an hour online trying to see what kind of tumor I might have.

"Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing,
you will be successful."
- Albert Schweitzer
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech

YAY...you did it! Thanks for indulging me! :)
It was so fun to read this, and learn things I normally wouldn't know.
Learning Spanish is something I want to learn too. That...and learning to play the piano :)
I have a piano if you want it. Seriously. My aunt gave it to me when I moved here, but have no desire to learn. Let me know.
Haha! I actually have a piano...and Megan plays it beautifully!!
I know...there's NO EXCUSE for me not to learn!! :)
Okay. Actually I think I have found a place for it at a school, until I can get a little bigger house with more space.
Get going on those keys! No excuses! (Like I should talk...)
This reminds me of why we are friends - half of your answers could be mine. We'll have to chat about the hypothyroidism thing.
