Where I live now…

Just outside of Chicago

Where I grew up…

Baltimore

Something I love eating that I used to despise…

Broccoli

Something I no longer eat that I used to love…

Bazooka Bubble Gum (maybe not technically a food, except when accidentally swallowed)*

*not recommended

Something I thought I’d be better at by now…

Folding and putting away clean laundry

A few things I can do much better now…

Driving and tying my own shoes

Something I wish I was still able to do….

Climb trees

Something I still do, but wish I didn’t…

Worry

Smelliest job I’ve ever had…

Cleaning moldy food out of test tubes in my mother’s lab

Shortest time on a job before getting fired…

Fruit slicer at a smoothie stand (the job description should have included a note, not appropriate for clumsy daydreamers)

A few things I’ve accepted about myself…

I’ll never be tall, naturally tidy, or get to zoom around space like Interplanet Janet from Schoolhouse Rock

What I can’t stop myself from acquiring even though I have no room…

Books (photo above is of some long-timers currently on my writing desk)

Something that’s always made me nervous for no apparent reason…

Talking on the phone

Some things I try to do every day…

Take a walk, read, write, tell people I love that I love them (even if they’re not close enough to hear), and make sure the bird feeder is full
