In order to get myself back in the habit of writing on a regular basis (and let's face it... I'm also trying to get out of doing housework too), I decided to start working on a "30 days" challenge that I saw making the rounds on twitter. I like this one a lot more than the one that made the LJ rounds recently, because it actually asks you a different question every day, for thirty days. If you'd like to participate, the question list can be found here, or conveniently located below the bump.
Day 01: A recent picture of you, and 15 interesting facts about yourself
It's not the greatest quality picture - but it's the most recent. Taken Wednesday, which was the first day of school for the kiddos in our district.
1. I read voraciously. It's not uncommon for me to finish a book after a couple of sittings.
2. My dog is named after David Bowie. His previous owner was a rock and roll fan.
3. I am in love..... with the apartment that I live in. I wake up in the morning, and after my initial disgust over waking up to an alarm, I'm excited to live in my apartment.
4. I love to cook. I love recipes and recreating things that I've eaten elsewhere.
5. I didn't used to be much of a baker, but I've been really into baking cakes lately. I make a mean red velvet cake, and my carrot cake is pretty awesome too - from scratch. No boxed mixes here!
6. I recently purchased a desk lamp that looks like the lamp from the pixar logo. This makes me a little giddy with excitement.
7. I love doing laundry - when I can hang it outside to dry on my clothesline.
8. I wear my glasses more in the winter than I do during the summer.
9. I have a swanky flat screen TV.... and 20 channels of non-HD cable. And most of those channels are Jesus channels, leaving me with about 5 actual TV stations to choose from.
10. I'm typing this from my ancient iBook. Once I can afford to upgrade my computer, I'm looking at the 13" macbook pro. It's true what they say - once you go mac, you never go back!
11. My best friend and I live right around the corner from each other. It's like being in college, only with real bank accounts, and adult obligations, like going to work and paying bills.
12. I was pretty excited to get back to work this year. I definitely wasn't looking forward to the whole getting up early and acting like an adult part, but I'm excited to get this year going, and continue building my program.
13. I've recently begun making an effort to do my hair every day. I like what I see when I do.
14. I am pretty much obsessed with broadway musicals.
15. I hate beach vacations. There is nothing worse to me than going on a vacation with the sole intent to sit on a beach and do nothing. I can never provide myself enough books to keep myself occupied, and I have to be militant about staying covered and in the shade so that I don't burn to a crisp. No thanks.
