gal on the run

They say if the grass looks greener on the other side, maybe you should take better care of your grass. This is me watering my grass.

20 Random Things

1.    I find satisfaction in crunching leaves with my shoes.  When I think no one is looking, I go out of my way to stomp around on them.  
2.    I was a faithful user of Bonnie Bell lip smackers for many years.  I finally moved on because I thought 25 was a little bit past the age of sparkly chapstick.  Secretly, I still think it’s the best
3.    I recently learned how to carve.  I almost broke my butt doing it, but now I can go snowboarding with the big kids!
4.     One of my goals this year is to run a half marathon or a marathon. 
5.    Another one of my goals is to read the Bible more often. 
6.    My best dancing happens alone in my room.
7.    When I was younger, I thought “rainbow” was actually “raimbow.”  When someone corrected me, it was like my whole world shifted.  “Rainbow” makes so much more sense.
8.    During my teens, I was all about Mariah Carey (pre-hoochie mama days).  I can sing along to almost all her songs from Daydream and Rainbow. 
9.    “All I Want for Christmas is You” (by MC) is my all-time favorite Christmas song.
10.    I used to be madly in love with Kobe Bryant (pre-cheating on the wifey). At the peak of my crush, I saw him in real life walking around South Coast Plaza.  I didn’t get his autograph because I didn’t want to appear an overzealous fan.  Biggest mistake ever.
11.     I think reading is delicious. 
12.     I think a good sense of humor is sexy. 
13.     The highlight of my work day is when my co-worker Tiffany and I take a break to play volleyball outside
14.    Oh - also, I like seeing students.  Hehe.
15.    When I was younger, my dream job was to be a high school counselor. 
16.    I’m currently a college counselor.  Pretty close. I feel so lucky - I love my work. 
17.    If I didn’t have to work, I would spend my days traveling the world, taking classes (photography, salsa, ceramics, painting) and philanthropizing. 
18.    I’ll know I’ve truly made it when I get a house with a library – not unlike like the one Beast presented to Belle (hey, nothing wrong with ambition).
19.    I love my siblings to pieces.  My sister is like my protégé (but better) so naturally I think she’s fantastic and my brother cracks me up. 
20.     My ideal day would include: delicious food, a good book, volleyball
