The 30-day blog challenge: days 1 and 2

 

Thanks to Megan, I have a new project for the month of May: The 30-day Blog Challenge. I took three different "Challenge" lists from three different blogs and mish-mashed the subjects to create my own list. (That's probably cheating, but hey, it's my blog....muahahahaha).

Now, it just occurred to me that May has 31 days, and today is technically day two. It looks like I have a bit of catching up to do. (Sorry day 31, you can roll back over and pretend you aren't paying attention).

1. A recent picture of yourself and 15 interesting facts about you
2. The meaning behind your blog name
3. Your views on drugs and alcohol
4. A habit you wish you didn't have
5. Songs that match your current mood
6. Pictures of things that make you happy
7. Your zodiac sign and how it fits your personality
8. A moment you felt most satisfied with your life
9. Something from the past few days you're proud of
10. Something you're afraid of
11. Put your iPod on shuffle and list the first ten songs that pop up
12. List the events of your day in bullet-points
13. Discuss a place you'd like to move to or visit

Ok, here we go! (Are you excited?)

1. A recent picture of yourself and 15 interesting facts about you

1. I have a twin brother

2. I have a double-jointed thumb
3. To me, peanut butter is the perfect food
4. I hate driving. If I were rich, I'd hire a driver
5. Looking back, I wish I had never highlighted my hair. Just think of all that wasted money!
6. I get anxiety over being on time, and I'm always early
7. I can't stand The Cranberries, Sugarland, or the "P" word for vomit
8. I worry that I will never marry, be forced to live alone, and become "The crazy dog lady" (I don't like cats).
 9. When I get to work in the morning, I check my personal email, Facebook, and Blogger, before even opening my work email. (shhhh!)
10. Using my credit card to pay for things gives me all kinds of anxiety.
11. I learned of Bin Laden's death from Facebook before the news.
12. I've been home from VA for less than 24 hours and I miss my mom.
13. The most sore I've been in my life is the day after my first day skiing.
14. I don't dig discussing politics or religion.
15. The fact that the people who work at my gym know me by name makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.


 And now, for #2: The meaning behind your blog name

in the between is actually a blog name I came up with a few years ago. I set up this blog and then never posted anything. (Yeah, I know. "Cold feet" I guess). I then started a Tumblr blog called Just Live Through It (which is my mantra). When I decided to give up the tumblr blog for a blogger one, I wanted it to be Just Live Through It, but since I already had this blog set up, I decided to roll with it.

"In the between" sort of describes where I feel I always am in life. I'm not at the beginning and *I hope* I'm not at the end. Even when I begin or finish something in my life, there's always another beginning around the corner.



And then, just cuz it's funny

I probably should
have been a
perpetual
12-year-old boy.
