1. I never sleep in earrings, but always put them in first thing. I hate being w/o earrings
2. I really dont' mind folding clothes, esp if there's mindless tv on
3. I spend wayyy too much time internetting. Its an indirect proportion to my posting lately....
4. I really want to get back into daily yoga
5. I'm nearly done with PT for my knees and have yet to feel a dramatic improvement
6. I woul really like to live near the water again (annapolis suburb?)
7. my current favorite alcoholic beverage is a Dark and Stormy (dark rum with ginger beer)
8. My writing instrument of choice is an ultra-fine Sharpie
9. I'm lusting for the new Ipod, but fear that it will only exasperate #3 too much
10. I dont drink coffee, but love coffee ice cream
11. I'm amazed at how little I care about makeup/music now (still always wear makeup and listen to music, but not on the cutting edge of the latter, or browsing Sephora for the former)
12. I want my next house to have an art space, as I've been away from crafty stuff for too long.
13. I have "Where the Hell is Bill" by Camper Van Beethoven stuck in my head now.
14. I use to have low iron and ate about 3 cups of ice a day.  the thought doesn't even appeal to me now.
15.  My 'snarky white trash wedding' is this weekend, and I hope it doesn't disappoint.

Here is how it works: Copy this list, leave in the bands you've seen perform live, delete the ones you haven't, and add new ones that you have seen until you reach 25. An asterisk means the previous person had it on their list. Two asterisks means the last two people who did this before you had that band on their list.

You Are Austin

A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. You're totally weird and very proud of it. Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way. Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick

Taking inspiration from my FL and from The Oprah, list 5 of your favorite things that are within non-Oprah budget (i.e. no diamond encrusted watches!!!)

Here's what keeps me sane these days:

--Kneipp herbal baths- little bottles of German Wonderness that smell heavenly, color the water, but don't stain the tub.  Lavender and Juiniper are wonderful.  Not so much 'oils' as they are aromatherapy -- and really natural smells, not fakey 'bath and body work' kind of lavender
--Tetley's Roobios Tea - as tasty as the Swanky French tea that I fell in love with, but 1/10 of the price and stocked at most grocery stores
--Old Navy (maternity) Yoga Pants - I'm about to start wearing these to work, and that's saying somethign for someone who 7 months ago had never set foot in Old Navy.
--Asics Tiger sneakers - I'm not a sneaker person per say, but love these to death.  Comfy, supportive, and don't look like sneakers.
--Bare Minerals Makeup. The only makeup I've ever worn where I look BETTER in the afternoon than when I first put it on!  Tried it about a year ago and didn't like it, came back to it and now looove it.  I just have the 'intro kit' but thinking of adding a few new powders like True.

What are you loving these days?

Wasn't tagged by hulahoop, but like this

Write a little something about your Top 5 Guilty Pleasures in your journal, then tag 5 others to do the same.

1. bad reality TV.  I love me some Wife Swap, Supernanny, Celebrity Ice Dancing, you name it.
2. Little Debbie cakes - preferably the Valentines ones.  I'm not usually one for junk food, but love these
3. Snoozing after breakfast on Sunday mornings (usually on the couch) while reading the paper
4. Celebrity Gossip websites or magazines.  Don't usually buy the mags, but sure dive for 'em at the dentist
5. Catalogs.  I LOVE getting catalogs.  Your junk mail = my evening entertainment
