A girl and her bike.

Just had to add a picture of my other baby, my bike!

I did the MS150 last year, this year, I am adding two more rides, and at least one Century!

Crikey, here I am, getting tagged by blogger and IRL friends! The challenge is to reveal 7 mostly unknown facts about myself. This is tough for someone like me, since I am pretty much an open book, but I am sure I will find something to share!Ok, Brandy, don’t say I didn’t warn you…

1. Right now, more than anything else in the world I could wish for, I want a home of own own. Megan and I have always lived in apartments or with roommates, but now it’s time to get our own place…so, before Megan leaves for college, I want her to have a home that she can call her own.
2. Although I see area’s for improvement, I am completely comfortable with who I am.
3. #2 gets me into trouble sometimes, people see it as arrogance, but I’m not, I’m just happy with who I am.
4. Although I believe in true, everlasting, unconditional love, I just don’t think it is in the cards for me, but I can’t give up on looking!
5. I cannot stand to be judged, although I find myself doing that from time to time, that’s one of the things I work on everyday.
6. Sometimes I wish I was more of a girly girl, but I'm not, so I just have to accept it!
7. I am kind of like an M&M, my hard, crispy exterior hides a soft, sweet interior!

Heather, consider yourself tagged!

The Written Word

I saw this great "widget" (I need to research that word!), on my friends blog (The Lemmondrop). I just had to add it. As you can see, Dean Koontz is one of my fave's. He has developed so much as a suspense writer, and I love anything supernatural.

If you haven't read the Tao of Pooh & The Te of Piglet, then you should. I was once told by a women that we shouldn't research other religious/theological ideas and beliefs, as it might lead to our disenchantment with whatever practice we are currently involved in. Well, if your hold on your belief system is that tenuous, then perhaps you shouldn't read anything!

I don't read a lot of non-fiction, but I am working on fixing that, starting with Marie Antoinette - The Journey. Great book, hard to read in places. I keep putting it down, then I feel guilty, and pick it back up. I love history, and Marie Antoinette is an unforgettable historical figure. I need to re-new my committment to this book (and my spelling!).

I love to read, it's a great way to shake off the day (preferrably in the tub, with a glass of wine), or get through a snow day.

Reading is knowledge, knowledge is power, so pick up a book and read, your future depends on it!
