25!
Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. [my amendment: i wont tag anyone . . . you don't actually have to do this if you don't want to, if you want to do it, go ahead. I happen to be a looser with nothing better to do, so i did it]so, ava tagged me . . . here goes . . .
1) i can't wear my wedding ring right now because the winter weather has dried out my hands and caused my ring finger to crack and turn all dry and raw and nasty right under my ring.
2) i don't know how good of a parent i would be because i go back and forth between loving and hating my dog . . . if it were a baby how would i treat it? so let's just hold off of babies for a few more years.
3) i am a foodie. but not in the way that makes it so i know how to pronounce french foods and enjoy the taste of snails. but in the way that i wont buy eggs that come from caged chickens, i don't eat commercial meat (which means that right now i don't eat meat at all), i make my own granola and ii would rather buy organic, local apples even if it means paying several dollars more per pound and not being able to afford to go to the movies. that's the kind of foodie i am.
4) the same goes for body products. if i'm smearing it on my face, i'd rather it wasn't full of chemical and fossil fuel based petro chemicals. your skin is the largest organ of your body and it absorbes whatever you rub into it and that enters your blood stream and your cells and, essentially becomes you!
5) i'm struggling to fight the pack-rat gene that i've inherited from my family. moving as many times as jon and i have has really helped. we just get rid of stuff when we move.
6) i already don't remember most of what people gave to me for christmas this season. if i sat down and really thought about it, i could. the ones i do remember? people donating money to things in my name, handmade gifts, and recipes. and johnny depp movies.
7) i want to be more crafty. this week i will make coasters.
8) being raised in such a conservative, legalistic faith tradition has been hard to overcome . . . i want to be a spiritual person and do good in the world and love people and i know that i believe in a higher power . . . but that's hard to reconcile with all the hurt and negativity and judgment that i have seen and experienced.
9) i hate it when people ask me if i am doing massage work here in Rhode Island. I want to reply "Don't remind me of my failures, i have not forgotten them."
10) most days i am a lazy bum. i think my husband judges me for that. for instance right now, i know i said i had nothing better to do . . . we'll i actually have a ton of things better that i could be doing.
11) i have six sisters and no brothers. put that in your back pocket.
12) i put your mom in my back pocket once.
13) in our apt, all we ever do is play games. there are four of us. the perfect number for a rousing game of pinochle or settlers of catan. we also have been playing a lot of mario cart on the wii. and i'm fine with that.
14) best snack in the world? chips and salsa. more specifically spiced tortilla rounds and peach salsa from trader joe's. and the chips? haven't seen them at tj's in months . . . i think they've stopped making them. and thus, my life is less rich.
15) you know you are getting old when hard alcohol gives you heartburn.
16) a sense of home and a sense of family is very important to me. i hope to establish more of this for my family here in providence by the end of this year.
17) one word: YOGA!!
18) one other word: KOMBUCHA!! (i will start making this myself by the end of the month).
19) you know that thing happening on my ring finger? it's also happening on my face. yuck.
20) last night, my husband actually shoveled a path in the snow for me to get to the car! sweet!
21) no matter what you say, i still like to listen to the Counting Crows.
22) and i might just have to buy that justin timberlake cd they were playing at julian's when we had breakfast there the other day.
23) this is less 25 things about me and more train of thought. i am also ok with that.
24) spiders and bees creep me out. other sorts of bugs don't, really.
25) i resolve to read more books.
the end.
