More Things About Me 51-100

51. I have trouble remembering things. It's not becuase I'm lazy. I think it's because there's a lot of traffic in my head.

52. I love to meet new people and get to know them.

53. I design Pysanky, Ukrainian Easter Eggs, and give them away to friends and family. Sometimes my friends come before my family...

54. I believe that jewlery should be loved and worn. It wasn't meant to be squirreled away in some safe deposit box somewhere!

55. Ballet of Angels is my favorite wine. Yes, it is white.

56. On the rocks with salt, is the way I enjoy my Margaritas.

57. I don't like to get wet when I'm dry. That doesn't count when I'm taking a shower.

58. I love my birthday. I always have and I always will. It doesn't matter how old I get, I will still love it.

59. Sometimes there's an abundance of cat fur on my sweater. Don't judge me. It just means that my cat was loving me prior to the time you saw me.

60. The hotter the better.

61. I enjoy cycling. During the summer, I try to cycle at least 13 miles per day... religiously!

62. I became a Catholic before I married. I believed in being evenly yolked. No, I do not go to church every Sunday. If that means I am going to Hell, so be it.

63. I enjoy my coffee iced! Hot coffee when consumed on a daily basis, makes me crazy.

64. I'm already crazy enough.

65. My friend, Archie, often encourages me to lay down my sticks. He's basically urging me to lay down my defenses - those I use to hide insecurities. That's not so easy. I promise not to hit you with my sticks. Please trust me.

66. I have a habit of rolling my eyes.

67. I believe that eyes are the windows to the soul. That's why I try to guard mine.

68. Reading has always been a passion of mine. My all time favorite book is The Miraculous Journey of Edward Toulane by Kate DiCamillo. If you haven't read it, you really should.

69. I love the ocean, and I can't ever imagine living very far away from it.

70. No two sunrises or sunsets are ever the same. I love the way the light changes from day to day... the dance between shadow and light is magical.

71. I try to be like Dr. Dolittle. Oh, if I could talk to the animals! Believe me, I try!

72. I have owned some odd pets over the years. Snuffy, a hedgehog, was my favorite. I own a tarantula named Rosie. She's awesome.

73. I can be sarcastic.

74. When reading an email, I'm famous for reading between the lines. That's dangerous, I know.

75. My hands are worked hard. They may sometimes look funky. That doesn't mean that I don't care about them. If they were supposed to always look beautiful, they would have been placed someplace else on my body... like on my head somewhere.

76. I'm disorganized.

77. I'm a procrastinator. I work better under pressure.

78. I'm a monster under pressure.

79. I love to laugh and I've got the laugh lines to prove it.

80. When I ride the train (which is every weekday) I prefer to stand. It gives me a wider variety of people to watch.

81. I am a people watcher and interactor.

82. I have a huge soft spot in my heart for elderly people.

83. Noise distracts me. My mind wants to focus on the smallest sounds coming from the most obscure places.

84. I rarely carry a purse. It's too much work to look after it.

85. My camera is usually always with me.

86. I apply makeup only once a day, unless I'm going out somewhere special - then I MAY reapply it.

87. Red looks nice on me (or so I've been told). I don't own many pieces of red clothing.

88. I feel better about myself when I'm having a good hair day. I know that makes me sound shallow, but it's true.

89. I like to get to know people... I mean really get to know who they are and what makes them tick.

90. Sometimes I beat around the bush. Sometimes I'm direct. Sometimes I'm confused about which approach to take.

91. I know I should exercise more and eat less crap.

92. Shopping for clothing or shoes doesn't really appeal to me. I only do it because I have to. That being said, I'm never on the cutting edge of fashion.

93. I do have a nice pair of legs. You may not see them very often, but they're there.

94. I can type without looking. My students are always impressed by that. I love it when simple things impress them.

95. Cold hands, warm heart.

96. I do not have any tattoos.

97. My butt often falls asleep in the movie theater. If you see me moving around in the theater, it's not because I'm bored. It's because I feel like my body is begining to fossilize!

98. When I was a child, I used to have an insect collection - a large one. I trapped, killed and displayed the insects with the help of my father. I no longer have the collection, but would like to start a new one.

99. I rarely remember my dreams.

100. I'm complicated.
