betcha didn't know

Hey how about for today we put horse camp, the sporadic crying jags and the over tired cranky five year old behind us and talk about me for a while. More specifically how about seven random "me things"? I have seen this meme all over the blogosphere and thought... hey why not me? Why not now?

1. I almost always have two books on the go. An upstairs book and a downstairs book. I finally got sick and tired of getting into bed and realizing I had forgotten my book downstairs. And we all know I wasn't going to get back up to get it. And yes there are some times I put one book down walk up/down the stairs and pick up the other one. I'm not really sure what that says about me.

2. Sometimes I wish I was a jogger. Jogging? Do they still call it that? Okay, so maybe I want to be a runner. I'd like to head out the door in my cute running shoes and Mike's my iPod, yelling "I'm just going for my run. Be back soon." Now I know there's nothing really keeping me from being a runner (or is it jogger?) except for the lack of cute running shoes and the knowledge that the house would likely implode while I was gone.

3. I take two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water everyday. It was pretty vile in the beginning, but I think I'm developing a taste for it. Initially I began taking it as a natural allergy remedy, but they claim it's good for a number of things.

4. I can't sleep if my hair is loose. It has to be in a pony tail or I toss and turn all night.

5. I painted my toenails red last week and then I realized I am not a red toenail kind of girl. Which is kind of odd because red nails, toe or otherwise, are classic, chic and so on. Every time I time I caught a glimpse of them I thought to myself, I so don't like that. Currently they are a more "me shade" of deep brown.

6. I still love to colour and will often continue to colour long after Abby has moved on to something else.

7. I don't do white pants. I won't even try a pair on, despite my Mother's attempts to the contrary.

Is it possible to develop a taste for ACV? Because I've tried the 2 tablespoons a day thing and yeeeeick! But maybe I didn't give it long enough. Thanks for bringing it up though, I should try it again. I need it for some seriously horrible heartburn.

1. OK, I do the same thing--and also will go up and get the upstairs book if I'm just not in the mood for the downstairs book (my bedroom is down). Funny, though, how I never seem to want the downstairs book if I'm upstairs.

2. I want to be a jogger/runner too! Only I think I'd really, really hate it. But it sounds so cool.

3. I've never even heard of this, and we don't have that vinegar here anyway, so phew.

4. I used to be like this too. Now I can't sleep if my hair's in a pony. Go figure.

5. I kid you not, the same thing happened to me. I really *wanted* to like it, but perhaps I used the wrong shade of red for my skin tone. I usually stick with a pearly pink or purple.

6. I *love* coloring, although I don't have crayons in Italy (no excuse to buy them yet). I do, however, have colored pencils, and I draw with any youngun that'll have me at the table.

7. Me neither. Ever. I cannot be convinced otherwise.

Truly amazing how much we have in common :)

I've been "lurking" for quite a while now... six months?... a year? and have been totally entertained. Thanks for posting so often. :)

I always have two books going. I work at the library and 95% of the time I have a minimum of 5 books to read. 95% of the time I return them unread and put them back on hold. What does that say about me??

Lolly - I guess I should have mentioned that I add 1/4 tsp of baking powder. It tones down the taste. Now I wouldn't start ordering it in restaurants or anything, but it's not all that hard to get down.

Michelle - Seriously, I think you just need to move to Canada so we can be BFF's!

Renae - Hi! Thanks for the kind words. I hope to hear from you again.

Suzel - A library? Oh I would be done! And I would do exactly the same thing. I still hunt the clearance section looking for more when I have a huge stack here to read.

I was wondering, do you drink the ACV only once a day?
