So here goes my first blog (though this is the 3rd time I’ve typed this). I decided to write a few things about me to start this thing off– give people a better understanding of who I am.

  • I have one of each type of sibling- big bro, little bro, big sis, little sis.
  • My favorite color is yellow
  • I like dogs better than cats
  • I can’t stop looking at all the gear I need for the trip (any advice on this front is more than welcome)
  • I think TV on DVD and DVR are 2 of the greatest inventions out there– no more commercials!
  • My favorite book of the Bible is also the shortest- Philemon
  • I love:
    • to laugh and to make people laugh
    • Will Ferrell movies and I will (hopefully) be seen in one on Feb 29!
    • Spontaneity
    • The beach and swimming (esp. in the ocean)
    • slippers (I will miss those for sure)
    • Mexican food
    • exploring new places and the feeling once you know where you are and how to get around a new city
    • Sleeping in (this may be what I miss most other than friends and family)
    • going to the movies
    • music- most genres, basically what the radio tells me to like
    • puzzles- sudoku and kakuro, crosswords…
    • games- all types
    • to read
    • jeans- they go with everything– I’m really excited about not getting dressed up for work
    • dolphins, babies and puppies (this one is for Mandy)
  • I dislike:
    • FISH (I am banking on the fact that I will learn to love fish on the Race!)
    • traffic- no driving on the race, yay!
    • waking up early (esp. for work)
    • “Your Mom” jokes– fellow racers, make a note of this one 😉
    • TV game shows- except the Amazing Race, which is totally different
    • running- swimming, walking, aerobics, weights, dancing– all better options in my eyes
    • spiders (and scorpions even more than spiders)
    • paying to park

Ok, I think that is all I will tell you for now, the rest you will have to learn through other blogs and for my teammates, you’ll learn all about me on the race! Happy Monday!
