Nicole at Marine Wife Unplugged tagged me in this and I'm happy to oblige... (Sorry the formatting is so weird. I finally let it win.)
The Rules
1. You must post the rules (and link up who tagged you).
2. Post eleven fun facts about yourself on the blog post.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and then create eleven new questions to ask the people you've tagged.
4. Tag however many people you want
5. Let them know you've tagged them!
11 Facts About Me
1. I enjoy a good hike, but about the only sure way to talk me into it is to promise a milkshake at the end.
2. Since childhood I have enjoyed eating oysters - pan fried, raw, steamed, whatever.
3. Sleep is my favorite thing.
4. I really want a redheaded child. Interestingly enough, my brother has shared that he is terrified of redheaded children under age 14.
5. Unassisted, I can only see three inches in front of my face clearly. I'm that blind.
6. I'm convinced I'm going to die in a car crash. I don't know why.
7. One day I want to have a self-sufficient household/farm. As of yesterday my dream includes animals of burden to till the land. I'm very Prairie House at heart.
8. I am one of the most empathetic people you will ever meet. True story.
9. I'm 5'3", but wear tall shoes to prevent having to hem my pants. This occasionally throws people off when I do wear flat shoes (which I would prefer to do, darn office job and dress pants).
10. I am married to the second (and last) man I dated.
11. Living in the Midwest for a year was the best worst thing I ever did.
Nicole's Questions For me
1. Have you ever told a stranger about salvation through Christ? Not that directly. I have shared my own beliefs with strangers and left the conversation open.
2. Have you ever been to a chiropractor? Nope, and trying to keep it that way. Though apparently I get discounted chiropractic services through work, so should I break myself during 1/2 marathon or relay training I have a less expensive way to get fixed.
3. When you first learned about PTSD, what did you think of it? It has always made sense to me and I was relieved to find it had a name.
4. Have you ever regretted being married? No, I married my best friend and have been blessed by him ever single day for the last five years.
5. If your spouse said he wanted you to wear skirts for the rest of your life because he loved how you looked in them, would you have a problem with that? He could say it and I would be flattered. I would probably make an effort to wear them more often, but I wouldn't wear them every day.
6. What are you most thankful for today? My health.
7. How often have you been angered by things you have read on my blog? I don't think you've ever said anything that's angered me. There's been times I thought you took things too far or had a vastly different viewpoint than mine, but nothing anger-inducing.
8. Describe a time you helped someone out anonymously and did not seek recognition for it. Wouldn't it be seeking recognition if I told you about it? ;-)
9. What household chore do you gripe about performing the most? Sweeping and mopping the floor! It's time consuming and within five minutes they're dirty again. Grrr! (Hubby does this chore most of the time cause he loves me.)
10. How can you tell if someone is really following the Messiah? Their words and deeds line up and you feel a sense of peace when you're around them, no matter what is going on.
11. Do you think that Barack Obama is a good president? I don't think there is such a thing as a good president. Each administration is at the mercy of the administration before him, the Congress in session, and the current world disasters. Why anyone would want to be president is beyond me.

2010: A Year of Standing Still
Old Father Time has passed the torch to 2011. This year my response is, "Good riddance!" In reflecting, however, I'm remembering the highlights 2010, though trying, brought. So here's to the annual survey. (For a 2009 refresher, click here.)
Was 2010 good for you? The year as a whole, no, but it had some high points.
What was your favorite moment of the year? Running under the Hood to Coast "Finish" banner with 10 other teammates in various stages of pain while our spry 12th runner took off ahead. We were all laughing, tripping in the sand, and yelling, "Tooooom! Wait!" I laugh every time I remember that moment.
What was your worst moment of the year? December 16 when I came face to face in the shortcomings of our mental health system.
Where were you when 2010 began? I don't remember... weird. Did I go to bed before Midnight?
Who were you with? I bet Jason was there wherever I was.
Where were you when 2010 ended? At the Halls' house, standing with my arm around Jason, Josh and Laura to my right, and the rest of the Monday Night Posse in front and behind me. It was a beautiful thing to countdown and clink glasses with people who have come to mean so much to me over the last year.
Did you keep your new years resolution of 2010? I followed through with some of the not-so-fun commitments I made to myself. I had also resolved to be more cultured and that was certainly accomplished.
Do you have a new years resolution for 2010? To live boldly. To be intentional in my actions, be present in every moment, and stand my ground.
Did you fall in love in 2010? Every day.
Did you make any new friends in 2010? Yes, 2010 was a good year for new friends. I love my running buddies and it is fun to stay in contact with my subbed-in H2C teammates.
What was your favorite month of 2010? July
Why this month? The sun came out and stayed out for awhile, I made a surprise trip to Baker for Dad's 50th birthday, hung out with my abuelos, and Aunt Deb came to visit.
Did you travel outside of the country in 2010? No, I really need to renew my passport. I'm looking at you, Canada. And Dominican Republic. And South Korea. And Japan...
How many different places did you travel to in 2010? Baker, Bend, Prineville, Salem, Hug Point, Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, Seaside, Tillamook, Carlsbad, San Diego, Denver, Sutherlin and a bunch of places along the I-5 corridor.
Did you miss anybody in the past year? My brother and my besties
What was your favorite movie that you saw in 2010? Secretariat
What was your favorite song from 2010? "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry
How many concerts or plays did you see in 2010? Jason took me to see CATS! and a friend took me to see The Lion King at the Keller. We also saw Clackamas High put on Les Miserables and an elementary production of Wizard of Oz.
Did you have a favorite concert in 2010? No concerts, but I loved Les Mis.
What was your favorite book in 2010? My favorite fiction book was Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay and my favorite nonfiction was Until Death Do Us Part by Ingrid Betancourt. (I read the version printed after Betancourt was released from her captivity.)
Did you do anything you are ashamed of this year? I'm not impressed with my work performance.
What was the biggest lie you told in 2010? "I'm fine and everything's great."
Did you treat somebody badly in 2010? No, I finally told the truth with compassion and firmness.
Did somebody treat you badly in 2010? No, because I set up boundaries.
What was your proudest moment of 2010? Completing the Hood to Coast.
What was your most embarrassing moment of 2010? I must have blocked it.
If you could go back to any moment of 2010 and change something, what would it be? I would have been happier to hear from my best friend at 7 am instead of being grumpy pants.
Where did you work in 2010? LifeWorks NW
Favorite TV shows(s) of 2010? Glee, Without a Trace, Lie to Me, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, and How I Met Your Mother
Favorite Band(s) of 2010? Lady Antebellum and The Band Perry

Favorite Drink in 2010? Vanilla Chai Tea and Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte
Favorite Place in 2010? Disneyland
Favorite person(s) to be with in 2010? Jason, Aunt Deb, Dad, and Heather
Favorite person(s) to talk to in 2010? Aunt Deb, Bobby, Grandma+pa
Favorite trip in 2010? Drive to Carlsbad for Thanksgiving and surprise trip to Disneyland at the tail end of it.
Favorite stores in 2010? FitRight NW and RunningSkirts
Hardest thing you had to go through in 2010? Recognizing I have depression and the ensuing battle that's resulted from that. Thankfully I'm blessed with a supportive husband and friends who love on me.
Most exciting moment(s) in 2010? Jason entering the Bachelors part of his adult degree program; anytime marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, roasting sticks, and a fire were around; eating at the Marrakesh with the Monday Night Posse; all of Hood to Coast; and standing in line for the teacup ride at Disneyland...
Funniest moment(s) in 2010? It's only funny now, but was very not funny at the time: when my hammock strap broke during our Goat Peak/Rock(?) backpacking trip. I was so tired I said to Jason, "Screw it, I'll just sleep here" (here being the bottom portion of my hammock on the ground while the other portion was tied to the other tree).

5 Question Friday
Today's 5 questions brought to by love of the heat, sun, and "is it really summer now?" Mama M over at My Little Life hosts 5QF so go visit her and join in the fun!
1. What is one food you could eat everyday?
Sushi. I really could, but the DH won't support my habit.
2. Are you working in the career you thought you would be when you were 18?
No, not in the least. I thought I would be a political (wtf?) journalist in Washington, DC by now. My first year of college I realized I didn't like journalism as much as I thought I did, my second year I realized politics make me angry and the media is not a beast I want to be part of. Ironically, I'm working towards the career the career analyzer things always told me I should do.
3. What is something that you wish you would have done when you were younger and you didn't?
I wish I had applied myself to sports more. I was a homebody bookworm and now I aspire to be a runner but am kinda bad at it.
4. What color are your kitchen walls?
White, because I rent. I think I will be painting them this winter (shhh) cause they're a bit depressing.
5. Do you remember what your very first favorite song was?
"Kokomo" by the Beach Boys or "Don't Worry Be Happy" I have clear memories of my dad playing those for me when I was three and I always listed both of those as my favorites, so I think they must have become favorites at or around the same time.

2009: A Less Than Insightful Review
2010 is upon us, are you ready?! Last year I lifted this exercise from Pink Spandex and it seemed like a worthwhile thing to do again. (For a 2008 refresher, click here.)
I haven't been blogging as regularly, or much at all if I'm honest, as I would like as my free computer time has changed drastically in the last seven months with the boy returning to school. I'll post a blog in honor of So Long 2008 to give a little more depth to my 2009 soon...
2009: The Survey
Was 2009 good for you? A lot of good came out of 2009, so yes.
What was your favorite moment of the year? Graduating from PSU - finally!
What was your worst moment of the year? The exact moment I realized Gus was paralyzed. The subsequent 24 hours were pretty horrific as well.
Where were you when 2009 began? At the Geiser Grand in Baker City
Who were you with? Some of my favorites
Where were you when 2009 ended? It's here for another 14 hrs and 36 minutes, so I'll tell you tomorrow.
Did you keep your new years resolution of 2009? The only thing I resolved to do was graduate and that I did. Oh, and it looks like I also resolved to keep in better contact with friends and family. I still suck at that.
Do you have a new years resolution for 2010? To keep in better contact with friends and family. <---Let's try that again. Also, to follow through with the not-so-fun commitments I make to myself. Did you fall in love in 2009? I fell more in love.
Did you make any new friends in 2009? No, making new friends is not something that comes easily to me. I became closer to the new friends I made last year. Oh, wait, I did make new friends! I just realized that I didn't know Cliff and Yoshimi prior to May. Now I feel like I've known them forever.
What was your favorite month of 2009? September
Why this month? Jason and I went backpacking in the Strawberry Wilderness for our anniversary and it was the first actual backpacking trip we've taken together.
Did you travel outside of the country in 2009? Still haven't made it to Canada. I have a friend that lives there now, though!
How many different places did you travel to in 2009? Baker, Metolious, Bend, Prineville, Salem, Seattle, Sisters, John Day, Rockaway Beach, Seaside, Tillamook, San Diego, Denver, Santa Rosa, Boise, and Reno...
Did you miss anybody in the past year? My brother while he was on his second deployment and people I let slip away.
What was your favorite movie that you saw in 2009? UP and The Proposal.
What was your favorite song from 2009? The two that popped in my head are both by Kelly Clarkson - "My Life Would Suck Without You" and "Don't Leave." "I Run to You" by Lady Antebellum was also a favorite.
How many concerts or plays did you see in 2009? I don't think I went to a single concert this year... we didn't even go to the Blues Festival. We went to one play (Faith County put on by Central Nazarene) and also went to Central's Evening in December variety show. Wow, we were not very cultured in 2009.
Did you have a favorite concert in 2009? Obviously not.
What was your favorite book in 2009? I became a Twilight addict in 2009. I'll admit it. Twilight and Breaking Dawn were my favorites.
Did you do anything you are ashamed of this year? Nothing comes to mind...
What was the biggest lie you told in 2009? I told the boy there wasn't anything wrong when I was actually quite perturbed.
Did you treat somebody badly in 2009? If I'm honest, yes.
Did somebody treat you badly in 2009? Yes, but I'm learning to deal with it.
What was your proudest moment of 2009? Receiving my diploma.
What was your most embarrassing moment of 2009? I fell down our friends' porch stairs, twisted my ankle (right before a hiking intensive camping trip), released gas, and landed on my backside. My dear husband, instead of saying, "Are you okay?!" when he saw me on the ground yelled, "You just farted didn't you?!" Which made me want the ground to open up even more.
If you could go back to any moment of 2009 and change something, what would it be? I would have said something to that horrible lady at Pioneer Square.
Where did you work in 2009? LifeWorks NW
Favorite TV shows(s) of 2009? Bones, Lie to Me, The Mentalist, Ghost Whisperer, and Criminal Minds
Favorite Band(s) of 2009? Lady Antebellum and Gloryana
Favorite Food in 2009? Sushi
Favorite Drink in 2009? Vanilla Chai Tea and Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte
Favorite Place in 2009? Denver was pretty awesome
Favorite person(s) to be with in 2009? Jason, Aunt Deb, Dad, the Cook Cousins, and Monday Night Posse
Favorite person(s) to talk to in 2009? Aunt Deb, Bobby, Grandma+pa
Favorite trip in 2009? It's really a toss up between Reno and Denver, but the weekend at Marion Forks was pretty memorable as well.
Favorite stores in 2009? Victoria's Secret and REI... that's a random combo.
Hardest thing you had to go through in 2009? Putting Gus down, dealing with repressed memories, and listening to a very dear friend confess what she had been hiding for the last couple years.
Most exciting moment(s) in 2009? Graduating, trip to Denver, trip to Reno, and Christmas
Funniest moment(s) in 2009? The most recent one was sitting on a plane to San Jose listening to the pilot tell us he was going to turn off the cabin lights and then explain
Happy New year! May yours be blessed with kept promises, fun, and exciting moments.

Happy Thursday!
If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
The "about me" surveys have been spreading like wildfire on Facebook and once again I'm struck by the question, "Why don't we talk about these things?" Granted, it would be difficult to have a conversation covering all of the question floating around, so I am hereby committed to inserting random "about me" survey questions into daily conversation. My husband is going to love that... ;-)
And, in case you were wondering, I'd be Fire Red or Social Justice Green.

Six Things In Six Minutes (I Hope!)
Shawna tagged me and I heart surveys, so here goes....
Six random things about me:
1. I tilt my head in pictures and don't realize I'm doing it. This is a fairly recent development (like, within the last three or four years) and I don't know what caused it.
2. I can pick things up with my toes.
3. I think clothes are overrated and shoes are unnecessary. If only our society agreed with me life would be much better.
4. I can curl my tongue into a taco, a cauliflower, and twist it upside down (either direction) but I can not roll my Rs (which made Spanish rather difficult) or tie a cherry stem in a knot.
5. On long car rides I "weave" spots on the window in between the median breaks.
6. When I'm concentrating I hold my finger on the tip of my nose. Jason pointed that out to me (by mimicking me) when we first started dating. I have no idea how long I had been doing that, but when Jason went to tell my family about it we learned my Dad does the same thing so the story was moot.
Six random things I like:
1. Sunshine
2. Sandy, uncrowded beaches
3. Hummus
4. Hair accessories, even though I don't use them
5. Cookbooks
6. Nail polish, though I paint my nails *maybe* once a year.
Six random things I don't like:
1. Mean and/or judgmental people
2. Onions
3. People who don't back up their words with their actions
4. That my feet and hands are always cold
5. Wearing fleece cause it attracts cat hair (and other hair) like crazy
6. The Willamette Valley

I'm a Survey Sucker
I stole this from Pink Spandex who stole it from Fat Bridesmaid. I need to blog and I have too many things floating around in my head. So I will hereby expel 2008 onto this html page and, with any luck, be able to focus on the future that is 2009.
So here goes:
Was 2008 good for you? 2008 was mostly good, but there were some serious rough patches. I learned a lot about myself and what I want for the future, so that rocked.
What was your favorite moment of the year? Going to the Unit Homecoming with my brother who had just returned from Iraq. I missed him like crazy!
What was your worst moment of the year? Goodness, everything I can think of actually happened in 2007... the anniversary of the Flying Colours missing sucked, as did learning Bobby would be re-deploying.
Where were you when 2008 began? Watching "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which I'd never seen and kinda stressed me out.
Who were you with? Random people from Central Naz
Where were you when 2008 ended? In a fancy bar with two of my favorite girls and one of my favorite guy friends.
Did you keep your new years resolution of 2008? I don't know that I made one. So let's say, "Sure!"
Do you have a new years resolution for 2009? To keep in better contact with friends and family. Also, to not worry so much.
Did you fall in love in 2008? I stayed in love, does that count?
Did you make any new friends in 2008? I made some wonderful new friends in 2008. They're pretty rocking.
What was your favorite month of 2008? I'm a fan of summer months. May-September were awesome.
Why this month? May was awesome because Bobby came home and I got to see him twice. Then I saw the entire family in June and spent a week in Florida. Oh, and Leslie took me to see Kenny Chesney for my birthday in June as well. September marked my one year marriage anniversary and we spent a lovely weekend in Sun River (and ate gigantic cupcakes and hung out with Lel).
Did you travel outside of the US in 2008? Someday I'll make it to Canada...
How many different places did you travel to in 2008? Baker, Metolious, Bend, Prineville, Salem, Seattle, Astoria, Tillamook, Lincoln City, St. Louis, San Diego, and Jacksonville... I think that's it. So... twelve.
Did you miss anybody in the past year? My friends that are too far away, a friend that disappeared, my brother, and an assortment of family members.
What was your favorite movie that you saw in 2008? Well, I saw "Australia" and that was a-MAZ-ing. Oh! And Kung Fu Panda and Horton the Elephant!!!
What was your favorite song from 2008? I like music. And now that I've been asked that I can't name one song...
How many concerts or plays did you see in 2008? The aforementioned Kenny Chesney concert (with LeAnn Rimes, Cloverdale, and I think someone else) is the only one that comes to mind.
Did you have a favorite concert in 2008? Kenny Chesney, hello.
What was your favorite book in 2008? Mmmm... "Deadline" was pretty good, oh, and "A Thousand Splendid Suns."
Did you do anything you are ashamed of this year? Nothing comes to mind...
