My friend Janet Fouts tagged me in a meme where we share five 5 ‘fun’ things about myself and then choose five people I’d like to know better to meme and take it from there.
I shared five things about myself before, in January 2007, so I immediately started scratching my head wondering what I could share now that would be interesting. Not sure this hits the mark, but it is five more things about me. Ha.
(1) My husband and I met on Match.com. We had our first date on October 1st, 2003. Moved in together four months later. Engaged on November 24, 2005. Married on July 7, 2007.
(2) I am the oldest (kind of) of three. I grew up with two sisters in Clayton, CA. When I was 30, I met my half-brother for the first time. There is a lot to this story that I will tell someday, but now is not the time. I still, to this date, call myself the oldest of three. Hard habit to break even though my brother has been in my life for 10 years now.
(3) I loves me some trash TV. Girls Next Door. Janice Dickenson Agency. Bridezillas. You name it. I will [most likely] watch it.
(4) I am not a worldly traveler. The only time I have been over seas was a trip to Germany in 2006 and Israel just last month. This girl needs to get out more, especially as she is typing this post while her husband is bouncing between London and Paris. No I am not bitter. Not one bit. Ok, maybe a little…Ha.
(5) I am a Bay Area native. As mentioned above, I grew up in Clayton (East Bay) and moved to San Francisco in 1993. I don’t think I will ever leave. I have tried. In fact, the first week Chris and I started dating, I looked him in the eyes and said “don’t get too attached as I am moving to New York”. Of course, he smiled back sweetly and said “you live in the best city in the world, you should stay as I think you just need to travel more”. Low and behold, here I am…still in San Francisco. He was right, I know, and we have traveled more (domestically). Now I just need to focus on #4 and get my ass overseas again.
Ok, that’s it. I think I shall tag J.J. Toothman, Lori Dorn, Erin Kotecki-Vest, Sarah Dopp, and Adam Metz. I have no idea if these folks will follow suit, but I am hoping they will.
