Friday Five
1. What is one thing you don’t like about your body?
That’s a negative way to start off a Friday morning. I would guess its mass.
2. What are two things you love about your body?
Much better. The fact that it’s healthy and everything works the way it’s supposed to.
3. What are three things you want to change about your home?
Price, size and location.
Real estate is so damn expensive in NoVA, and I don’t think it’s worth what we pay.
Size, well, I need another bedroom for a guest room (for when I inevitably inherit my mom), as well as for an office, because it’s difficult for me to concetrate on work when my bed is four feet away from my computer.
Location, well, if I live in Alexandria, I want it to be in Old Town. Or, I would like to go to Arlington, because there’s so much more to do down there. And that’s assuming I stay in my current locale.
4. What are four books you want to read this year?
One Minute Millionaire, Making a Living Without a Job, Mists of Avalon, and Tropic of Cancer/Tropic of Capricorn.
5. What are five promises you have kept to yourself?
a. No regrets.
b. Always, always be the better person, even if you bite your tongue till it bleeds. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but once personal insults start flying at you, walk away before you say something you will inevitably regret, no matter how justified you are in saying it.
c. Apologize when you know you’re wrong, but don’t apologize just because somebody tells you that you are wrong. And if they are wrong, don’t apologize for them.
d. Even Superwoman needs to take a bubble bath and forget about saving the world sometimes.
e. Leave on your own terms — don’t let anyone/anything make the decision for you.
