Little Miss Runner Pants

well kids.... i've been tagged. and because i could never refuse my north dakota friend, stacy.. prepare yourself for a meme. alphabet style...

A-Available or Single --- i'm just going to forego the entire blog post i could write on this particular topic and just say... single. for now, i'm single.

B-Best Friend --- ya know it completely depends on the situation.. if that makes any sense to you. but in an overall kind of a way, J.Lee, my denver rat... she's my best friend.

C-Cake or Pie --- pie. and because you asked, i really do prefer apple. warm. with a scoop of vanilla BEAN ice cream... on the side.

D-Drink of choice --- an ice cold coca cola classic, all the way.

E- Essential Item --- does email count as an item? probably not... okay then, a computer. a MAC, preferably, with the adobe and macromedia suite installed and updated!

F-Favorite color --- currently i'm really into earth tones, but for the record, i don't really have a favorite. i'm not much of a "favorites" kinda gal. i'm entirely too indecisive for that!

G-Gummi Bears or worms --- twizzlers.

H-Hometown --- i'm going to kind of cheat a little here and say texas. the lone star state. i can't explain why, but that'll always be home to me.

I-Indulgence --- yes please!!!

J-January or February --- ummm... january. for sure.

K-Kids & names --- no, not currently. though in the next... lets see i'm 27 now (dear god) so in the next 5 or so years, ask again. hopefully i'll have an answer for ya!

L-Life is incomplete without --- i'm going to ditto stacy on this one with friendship and love, and add my own less eloquent tidbit, which is just taking the time to get to know yourself. and accepting yourself. the good, the bad... and learning to love what you find. not because of someone else, but because of you. with no excuses.

M-Marriage Date --- HAAAAAAAAhahahaha... ha. HA. please don't start on me with this would ya? i just got a call from my mom all too recently informing my that my uncle called up from mexico, realizing it was my 27th birthday, and along with the well wishes and the celebratory cheer felt it necessary to point out that... i'm still single. which means not married, and... what am i waiting for? go find a man!!!

thanks tio. you're a real help. i hadn't thought of that yet, so now that you mention it... i'll see what i can do.

N-Number of siblings --- nada. my mom had me, realized she'd achieved perfection and didn't see the need in trying again!

at least thats what i like to tell myself....

O-Oranges or Apples --- oranges. hands down. with a handful of peanuts? ain't nuthin bettah.

P-Phobias/Fears --- i'm kinda scared of the dark. i don't have much of a punchline for this one, i'm just... ya know.

scared of the dark. what can ya do?

Q-Favorite Quote --- i have so many, but this is the first to pop into my head...

"It is not the critic that counts. Nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and who spends himself in a worthy course; who at best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at worse, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be among those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." --Theodore Roosevelt

R-Reason to smile --- unexpected phone calls... i'll leave it at that!

S-Season --- fall. ditto stacy. i love me some fall weather.

T-Tag three people --- i know the distaste with meme's that runs rampant in this crowd, so i'll leave the tagging to anyone who might feel inclined to answer these A-Z's.

U-Unknown fact about me --- i'm thinking about buying a new car. truck really... SUV type sporty vehicle. which is in fact with SUV stands for... so ya know.

but yeah. an older one. one that i don't mind throwing my bike in the back of, piling up with tri-gear and eventually driving through snow with. although i can't for the life of me make a decision on that either, so... we'll see how that pans out.

V-Veggie I hate --- cauliflower. which i've never actually had but it looks gross and i just can't bring myself to try it.

W-Worst Habit --- wow. i have no idea. i have so many. going to bed without taking my make up off. which i don't really wear make up all that often, but when i do... i really do. and then i get home, and i'm tired, and i get in bed... and then i lay there. wide awake. scolding myself for having gotten into a warm comfy bed without washing my face. and i waste valuable sleeping time talking myself out of/into getting out of bed and doing the normal facial cleanse routine because i don't want prematurely aged skin or bad acne, but i really hate getting out of bed into the cold dark night, and...

do you see what this becomes? it becomes a thing. and its a habit of mine, and it's got to stop.

which reminds me i need to wash my face tonight before i go to bed. i can't forget to do that...

X-X-rays you've had --- no idea. at the dentist i guess? looking for one cavity or another.

Y-Your favorite food --- totally and completely depends on my mood. and what week of the month we're in!

Z-Zodiac --- Capricorn

*whew*

done.
