Taking the Reins

Ah, you have to love life.  It gets infinitely complicated at all the wrong times,

But I’m here, and I’m it, so here are my 7 facts:  (Thanks, Roni!)

1.  I am a distinguished expert in marksmanship.  Hubby taught me one summer while we were camp counselors.

2.  I hate raw tomatoes.  But I love sundried tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce.  What’s up with that?

3.  I met my husband on the internet.  He instant messaged me one night on AOL, NOT a dating service, and we started talking.  Turns out his roommate was in the same MCAT prep class I was in, and it was so funny watching his roommie looking around the room every class trying to figure out who I was! 

4.  My favorite animal is the horse.  I grew up riding and competing, and I’d give anything for that warm, musky breath and velvety nose up against my face.  They are very special animals.

5.  Hubby and I were on the only all-student team to make it to the final day of the University of Colorado’s Trivia Bowl the year we competed!

6.  I have an obsession with black and white films from the 1930’s.  Jeannette McDonald and Nelson Eddy are my heros.

7.  I hate to exercise!  Yes, it’s true.  The triathlete secretly hates running more than you could possibly imagine.  But I love the feeling of crossing the finish line more, so I put up with the pain and suffering so that I can finish in style. 

 So there you have it.  7 random facts about me.  Hopefully you can’t figure out who I am based off of it.  And if you can….well, I’m a distinguished expert in marksmanship….
