30 days of me

So, I got this idea somewhere else. I’m sorry, I can’t remember where I found it, and now I can’t refind it, so I can’t give proper credit. If this was your idea, send me an email and I’ll link to you!

Anyway, the idea is that for every day of the month, you write something about yourself. Cool, right? And you all know how much I love talking about myself, so this was right up my alley.  But here’s the thing: I don’t like to blog more than once a day, and there’s so many other things that I like to write about, so I really can’t write about myself every single day for a month. So, I decided to do it once a week instead. Not sure if it’ll stay on Tuesdays… maybe I’ll move to the weekend? To be determined.

Here are all 30 days, in case you want to do your own!

Now here's Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself


This is me (taken Feb 6th)

15 interesting facts:

1. I am left handed.
2. I am a published writer (somewhere, in a dusty poetry anthology, is a sonnet called “The Dream.” That’s me. Good luck finding it).
3. I have a fear of bridges, specifically long bridges over bodies of water.
4. I am married with two kids. Bug is ours by birth, BK is ours through adoption.
5. My world is a better place with Diet Dr. Pepper in it.
6.  Some of my favorite books: The Shining, Wuthering Heights, The Notebook, and The Little House Books
7. Some of my favorite tv shows: Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, The Office, The Walking Dead, Modern Family, The Bachelor
8. I am not a very social person-- not because I’m not friendly, but because I’m too lazy to clean the house.
9. Cats rule and dogs drool.
10. I played the clarinet starting in the 5th grade until I was a sophomore in high school.
11. I didn’t kiss a guy until I was 17.
12. I wasn’t allowed to wear red when I was child because my father didn’t like the color. And then I went and married a guy who also hates red. We have nothing red in our house or in our wardrobes. We are a very strange family.
13. My degree is in English. I went to school to be a high school English teacher. One semester was enough for me to realize that wasn’t the job for me.
14. I was on the swim team in high school. I was ok. I was also on the waterpolo team. We were not good at all. Our team won one game my senior year, against a team who didn’t have a pool. We thought we were so cool.
15. It is incredibly hard to think of 15 interesting things that I haven’t already told you guys.
