1. I paint my toenails to look "salon-quality" using stickers from CVS.
2. I have run three half marathons. Slowly. I stopped running due to blisters. Now I do kung fu.
3. I'm not very touchy-feely. This I blame on my parents, who I am suspecting grouped me with baby brother Dally and raised us as one boy...
4. ....yet I own a fairly extensive doll and wig collection.
5. I will marry the love of my life in May. He gets me to the core. I want to be better when I'm with him. And no one makes me laugh harder.
6. I developed a strong fear of guns after taking a Social Psychology class (where I heard the statistic about being more likely to shoot yourself or your family).
7. When I was little I wanted to be a cowgirl. I'm still secretly a little country and I love rodeos.
8. I will get my first passport next month. The farthest I've gone abroad is Rocky Point. My first country of choice would be Italy.
9. I love to read Martha Stewart Living, though the recipes are too complicated and my motor skills too unrefined to do the crafts.
10. I rode a horse in a parade a couple years ago. However, I was in the wrong spot because the horse would not leave his friends.
11. I talk in my sleep. The weirdest thing I remember saying is that there was a zucchini jamming my bedroom door.
12. I often am told I look like Drew Barrymore.
13. I lived in Florida for three months. A hurricane hit my city while I was there. Nothing really happened.
14. I played All State trumpet in high school. I was also a drum major.
15. My cousin Brooke died when she was 9 after a lifelong battle with cancer. I was 8. She was my best friend.
16. When I was little, I had straight blonde hair and brown eyes. I now have naturally dark curly hair and green eyes.
17. I deeply admire my four older sisters, who are all very different.
18. I adore and feel very protective of baby brother Dally.
19. My favorite songs are very sad and usually about heartbreak.
20. I am a trivia fanatic. Tony and I often win trivia games.
21. I have fairly straight teeth and fairly horrible eyesight.
22. I studied journalism in college. Three years after I graduated I left journalism.
23. I have a fear of heights but have no problem with planes. I once rode in a helicopter with no qualms. But I would not want to go in a hot air balloon.
24. I have interviewed Bill O'Reilly, Kathy Lee Gifford and the trainer of Whiplash the Monkey Who Rides a Dog.
25. I was once an international hostage when a group of angry shrimp fisherman blockaded the only road out of Mexico.

Wedding Preview
So these are some samples of what I am planning for TBD (The Big Day).
First picture is the actual location of the ceremony, which will be outdoors and feature some kind of live musician. Haven't decided on harpist or guitarist.
Second picture is a sample of the bouquet. Mine will have purple and green instead of those colors, and feature roses and orchids.
Third pic is a flower girl dress to be worn by my nieces. Their dresses will be sage green with ivory colored sashes.
And the last pic is an image from Tammie Coe Cakes. I haven't decided on the precise design - I can also opt for polka dots if a I want - but I'll probably do something with purple and white.
Less than three months away! Getting very very excited!

Bad Biscuit, Marathon Spellcheck and other things
This morning, out of pure laziness, I ate a sausage biscuit that looked like it had been under the warmer for way too long. I didn't really want to eat it, but the deli is four floors away, so I took my chances. I'm assuming I will regret it.
Not many know this, but I share an office with a coworker and a string of octogenarian volunteers. There is a different person every morning and afternoon. They come in to use the computer. Most of the time they are barely noticeable, and one of them even brought me fruitcake. But every once in a while, I get called upon to serve as IT support. Most of the time, the problem is that they accidentally opened Excel and they don't know what to do, or they clicked off the document and can't understand what happened.
But today it got a little irritating. A very nice and wrinkled lady - skin like a leather handbag thanks to lots of tanning I assume - had me sit with her to go through every single spell check finding. There were many extra spaces and misspellings such as "terrior."
Maybe it was the sausage biscuit. But it was getting on my nerves a bit. Luckily she has gone to tool about.
On a lighter note, a friend of mine is lending me a tiara/headband for my wedding and it's sitting right here at my desk. Very pretty with pearls and silver leaves. Thanks much to Jenna for her generous loan. It will go so very well with another loan, a lovely pearl necklace worn by Beckbot at her own wedding, the first in our family. I still remember going with her and Evan to help take pictures (I was probably 12) and feeling very special.
