1. I cut my own hair 90% of the time. I can't handle the idea of having to make an appointment and wait. I often just want a cut and my hair is long and straight, so it's pretty easy to do and always looks nice (enough - nobody notices!).
2. I HATE to shop for myself so my clothing is all pretty old. New clothing is stuff my darling husband buys for me!
3. To this day, I love the smell of gasoline and eraser-board markers (no, I don't seek it out!).
4. I ride my bike to work every day of the year. Rain, shine, snow (although that's hard!). I love the winter riding best, actually.
5. My husband and I each had wooden engagement rings created by an artist in Canada from wood off his property. They broke down over our 16 month engagement and splintered just as we got married. We keep them in the jewelry box my husband gave me 20 months ago.
6. I have lived in 7 countries on 4 continents. I have visited every continent.
7. I have given myself every single shot through this process, including every PIO!
8. I like writing with blue bic Papermate pens best and think my writing is better with those than with others.
9. My sleep schedule is tied to the sun so in the middle of summer, I wake up naturally (and am awake) by 4:45 am.
10. I don't sync my iPhone with my computer. I don't even know how to do it!
11. I involuntarily rub my feet together when I get sleepy.
Here are my answers to the questions posed by the blogger who nominated me:
1. What is your favorite T.V. show?
Right now, it's Parenthood. We don't watch a lot of tv, but in the winters, we find a tv show and watch in on hulu. This year, it's Parenthood. We caught up on the first 3 seasons and we're now watching the up-to-date season.
2. If we were on a road trip and I went into a
convenience store to get you a snack, what should it be?
Something bad for me! It's a road trip, afterall!
3. What is your favorite book from
childhood?
Watership Down. It's what made me compassionate to non-human animals and I am grateful for that.

One. My husband sleeps with 2-3!
5. How do you drink your coffee or tea?
Soy latte, extra foam, add some sugar in the raw.
