25 random things about me

I am really digging having nothing pressing that i absolutely MUST do right this moment. I have played on line all evening, and it's been lovely. this was a previous post on facebook.


1. I've re-learned to appreciate a great cup of coffee. But I still love a steaming mug of hot chocolate. Oooo, and tea in a coolass infuser mug is on its own level of awesomeness.
2. Passion recognizes passion whether it's about cooking, teaching, loving, or living. I can feel passion and other secret compartments being discovered and unlocked, and it's kinda fun.
3. Weight-lifting can indeed save lives (saves my students' lives daily!). Who knew I'd end up liking to sweat? Crazy talk I tell ya.
4. No one should really be on the road when I'm loose and in a mood. I am dangerous.
5. In the end, family and a few close friends are really all ya need to see you through the darkness.
6. If you wonder it, ask. You'll be surprised what you find out. And, if you read it, it must be so! (hehehe, ok, maybe not)
7. I'm working on recertifying for national boards (amazing it's been so long), and I want to resume work on my masters this fall.
8. I want a bottle tree, even if it establishes me as a redneck.
9. Making pasta from scratch is good for the soul- just like diggin in the dirt with bare hands.
10. Networking isn't such a waste of time after all. I stand corrected.
11. Yes, I have been known to cry a wee over a sappy commercial. Hmph, anyone can cry at a movie!
12. I'm the most scattered person I know; well, my sister Kim may be a wee more scattered. But hells, it's a close call.
13. Even after five years, I still miss my daddy so much it can cause physical pain.
14. I am falling in love...with my life, with my world, with the sweetness of the peaches and the challenges of the pits. It's all about striking a healthy balance.
15. I used to think I didn't share well; now I know it's all about what's being shared with whom.
16. And yes, Cat, I have learned to wear things around my neck- even turtleneck sweaters! I can even snuggle for more than 2 seconds too! How 'bout that?
17. My boys are really cool kids, even if they do drive me up the friggin wall on a daily (hmmm, maybe hourly) basis.
18. Old people rock!
19. I love my double oven...I think I need to have a party to celebrate my everything!
20. I'm sad that Croom left MSU; I don't give a damn what anyone says, he cleaned up our program. I respect his discipline. I respect his presence. And I hope he kicks ass wherever he goes.
21. I put a lot of pressure on myself, but I'm learning to relax. I have some amazing peeps in my life who show me every day how to stop, breathe deeply, and smell the garlic. (garlic smells way better than roses, don't you think?)
22. I have a deeply intense relationship with music despite the fact that I have zero talent or rhythm. Incredible This and Incredible That!
23. Bodily functions are just plain funny, and if you do not think so, something is wrong with your uptight ass!
24. I like a place for everything and everything in its place.
25. I want to write a cook book with someone who shares my passion for cooking and feeding peeps. i want it to tell a story. I want it to celebrate the living and honor the dead and take risks and share experiences and respect traditions and build bridges between the generations.
