02::I have a slight obsession with surfing. (I've had it my whole life, even when I was in elemntary school, but it became an actual obsession in it's most recent incarnation with mtv's surf girls) but on the other hand I'm slightly scared of big waves. so for now I'll be riding the little guy waves, dreaming of something more. really, it's just fun to be out in the sand + surf. I really, really love the ocean. and by ocean I more appropriately mean shoreline.
03::I have an exceptional sense of balance. I think it's from all the year's of slacklining. I think it helps with the aforementioned surfing obsession. pete thinks that's why I'm so good (and by good we mean I can at least do it somewhat) at everything I try. in the end it's all about balance in life, isn't it?
04::I have book ADD. seriously, I think I am currently reading at least four books. I pick one up and read it until some other book happens upon me, then I juggle reading them both until something else comes into my life. at some point I do actually finish these books, don't worry. right now I'm trying to get everything I've started read before the next onslaught of books come over christmas. so get ready for a splattering of book club posts coming soon. (I have a few I read in costa rica and one shortly thereafter that I never wrote about.)
05::these days I can somehow wake up ridiculously early to go swimming. now if you've ever lived with me you'll know that I am not a morning person. at all. don't even try talking to me (or looking at me) until I'm ready to interact with the world. but lately it's been easier to wake up. I'm not so grumpy and in my own little world. I am, of my own free will, waking up in the five o'clock hour and braving the cold, dark morning to go swim. it's amazing. I hope I can keep it up. I just want to be that early morning exerciser so badly.
06::I think I might be becoming somewhat of a food snob. I don't like anything that comes from boxes or cans. I want to make everything from scratch. ever since I threw out everything in my cupboard that had high fructose corn syrup or anything with the word hydrogenated, I've been paying closer attention to what I put in my mouth. I'm all about eating healthy, whole foods. at least I'm at a point in my life where I have the time to prepare food, healthy food. (now that I'm not the unemployed housewife diva anymore it's a little harder to fit it all in sometimes) I can't imagine how mother's with small children do it. will I resort to foods that aren't good for me or my family out of convenience and lack of time? it's funny because I have no kids of my own, but I am concerned about methods + tricks to get kids to eat healthy foods. I fear I will have picky eaters. I'm actively looking for ways to avoid this--and I don't have kids!!
07::I don't usually do these meme things. mostly because I hate the name--meme. what does that even mean? if they were going to make up a name, wouldn't they go for something slightly cooler? or that made more sense? I'm doing this one, though, because my dear friend bethany tagged me. now bethany is pretty super rad and has been my friend for more years than just about anyone. so I had to oblige. (and the day I got tagged I had just had a horrible dream about her the night before. she died. I was so devasted inside and literally woke up crying. mary and/or camilla, you died earlier in the dream as well--I was totally devastated over that too. don't worry. maybe my next meme should be all about my crazy, psycho dreams. ) anyway, this one's for you, bethany!
* * *
okay, now is the time I am supposed to tag someone else. but see, that just perpetuates the meme. do I want that on my conscience? I don't know. so I'm going to leave this open ended. any of you bloggy's out there just dying to talk about yourself, go ahead. you can even say I tagged you if you want. you know, to make you feel cooler. or legit. or whatever.
alright then. . . one, two three, GO!

WordNet defines meme as: meme, n. : a cultural unit (an idea or value or pattern of behavior) that is passed from one generation to another by nongenetic means (as by imitation); "memes are the cultrual counterpart of genes"
I picture a little girl in a classroom. The teacher asks a question and the little girl raises her hand and waves it wildly, whispering loudly, "Me! Me!" That is a meme.
I always have several books going at once, usually one in every room, and one in my purse. They have to be of different genres (mystery, history, etc.) for me to keep them straight. I usually finish them all, too.
Well thanks for humoring me and telling your random things. Your random things were way better than mine and way more random. Mine were just some current thoughts...I could have been more random.
And I'm really sad that I died in your dream. I am ok in real life, so I will not worry. But seriously, no more death dreams, ok? And thanks for saying I'm rad. You are pretty rad too! I'm excited for our get together since we never hang out! Logan is lame, but you could always come visit me. :-)
I really want you guys to come visit us...but I am scared that you will be very let down by my use of hydrogenated products, unhealthy kid snacks and wasteful paperware.
Anna Jo- Logan is not lame! You should come up some time! (however, it is getting to that not-so-fun time of year up here!)
Anna, you and my Chase really ought to spend lots of quality time together. Between the two of you, I think you could figure out how to fix the hole in the ozone layer and create fuel out of recycled materials. He needs someone like you. Not someone like me that uses paper products every day (sorry!) and "accidentally" throws her diet coke can in the trash, instead of the recycling bin.
Oh, and you ought to just decorate with your beautiful wedding photos. Create a whole wall collage to yourself.
