Now, on to the award!
1. Thank the person who gave me this award
2. Share 7 things about myself
- I have chin hair. Yep. Hair on my chinny-chin-chin. No worries, I just pluck 'em out when they stick out far enough to notice. Some are black and some are white but every single one of them is wiry. Why is that? I used to be embarrassed about it but life is too short to worry about chin hair, don't you think?
- When I was young I was once laid down in the driveway and pretended to be hurt or dead just to see if someone would stop their car and ask if I was okay. No one did.
- I am 4'11-and-3/4". Yes, that 3/4 matters!!!!!!! I love being short, though. Except when I am in a crowd. Then I get scared and claustrophobic because I can't see my way out.
- My majors in college: pre-med, physical therapy, exercise science and geology. Degrees = 0. School of life = more than I can count.
- I like smart people. I should be intimidated by them, but I am not. I love to listen to geniuses work through a theory or question. Their body language and facial expressions and vocal inflections are all fascinating to me. They seem to go to another place, unreachable to me, and I am honored to be witness something beyond my understanding.
- I used to think if I could have anything, I would want solitude. Now I crave community, even if it drives me nuts sometimes. Being alone and in your own thoughts for too long is the definition of crazy.
- I always knew Ellie, my 8yo daughter who has T1 diabetes, was going to be a challenge. I just figured it would manifest in the form of a policemen at the door with Ellie standing sheepishly behind him. Now I am relieved it is just diabetes and I don't have to worry about teenage angst. Right? Right.

Chin hair ~! I have it too and it's all white.. wiry is correct.. Those little buggers are hard to get ahold of and rib out of one's chin..
So once a month when I get my hair cut I have the gal that cuts my hair do a wax job on my eyebrows, chin and mustache.. Yes, the mustache.. It helps in between getting my hair cut to keep the chin hairs at bay..

Shit...you caught me! I get on it soon. I have more company...I am watching my 3 year old niece for Tara (the runner)...she is house hunting in Connecticut this week.
Anyway...about the chin hair...ME TOO. I pluck too...and you are right, life is too short to worry about them.
And the laying down in the driveway? You are a KooK!!! I love that about you for sure.
Great post! It was fun getting to know you better.
I love your facts... especially the laying down in the driveway thing. Too funny.
Glad I was able to motivate you. Now if I could just motivate myself...
I keep seeing your comments on other blogs and I decided to pop over and say hi!
I can't wait to "poke" around and get to know you better! : )
AWESOME!!!! I'm loving you more and more with every post :)
And, BTW, I would have stopped...just so you know.
A Christmas Story - ding,ding,ding!!! I'm redeeming my 2,754 points tomorrow at 345p. :)
Awesome list!! I smiled through the whole thing! Two of my sisters are under 5 foot. They always complain how hard it is. Nice to find someone who embraces their under five footedness!
Ok, so I teared up while reading this one! Thanks a lot!! Ugh!
