On the light side :)

Thanks to my friend and fellow blogger, OrwellChick, for the tag! Let's see how well I can answer these!

1. Who is your favorite musician and why? Stevie Nicks. I just have always loved her songwriting and her quirkiness. And love for ridiculously tall platform boots.


2. What is your favorite book and why? I have two. My favorite childhood book is Anne of Green Gables. She was raised by an older couple; I split my time with my grandma and my parents, she was a redhead, did well in school, was stubborn, and would tell off boys, so I related :) As an adult, The Art of Racing in the Rain is just an amazing book. It's through a dog's eyes, and it made me laugh out loud and then just cry at the end. Check it out!


3. What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you? Funny things happen all the time if you look at it the right way. :)


4. If you could change one thing about the world what would it be? The fact that the U.S. is more than willing to take care of the world but not their own people. Shame.


5. Would you relive high school? Why or why not? No! I knew nothing then (are you happy to hear that, Mom? haha). It's just a short span of your life that people make into a much bigger deal than necessary.


6. Who is one (or more than one if you have them) of your heroes and why? I can't really say I have any heroes, is that weird? I have people I admire, but no one I would specifically put in that context.


7. What is something you want or wanted to do but your past or current weight prevented you from doing it? At my past weight, I wanted to be able to wear clothes that didn't look like old woman clothes. I wanted to run and not be in pain or out of breath. I wanted to wear knee high boots. Now, I'm starting to train for a short distance marathon, I am able to buy the cute clothes off the rack from anywhere, and I am getting ready to pull my knee high boots out for the fall.


8. If you could do one thing over, what would it be and why? Letting people get to me that shouldn't have. I'm really glad that phase is over.


9. We all have it, what is your dream outfit that you want to be able to fit into?
My wedding dress!!!! LOL.

10. What has been your biggest motivator to get healthy? My own health taking a bad turn a few years ago. I'm so glad it was my wake up call, but I never want to put myself in that position again. Also, finding someone who I want to spend the rest of my life with and be healthy for him, and to be an example to others that good choices, and the right reasons, are enough to start that motivation!
