This is not my blog.

Rebecca of the blog J and C and Me has challenged me to an instant meme called 8 Interesting/Random things about me. Because I never get tagged for this sort of stuff (hello creative/thinking blogger award people) I'd better answer promptly ... so here goes!

1) I am currently wearing sandals (what I call "Jesus shoes") and plan to see how long into the winter I can do so before giving up ... or friends make me wear shoes. When I was at WVU I went for more than 2 years wearing only shorts unless I was either dressed up or in a band uniform.

2) I just finished seeing my first ever WVU basketball game with my girlfriend and her daughter (an aspiring basketball player herself). It was the WVU women's team vs. Tennessee. Expect a blog post later.

3) I am sitting at my work desk waiting out my remaining on-call time staring at a poster of Jennifer Garner, a picture of my nephews, a Tudor's Biscuit World map/puzzle of West Virginia, and the November page of the Runner's World calendar. I could be entering my time into the computer but this is more fun.

4) I am planning to visit my favorite Aunt and Uncle tomorrow for my extended family's annual Thanksgiving gathering. This is the one time a year they all gather. I've missed this celebration too many times in the last 9 years. I will likely eat too much tomorrow and not get enough sleep before being dragged out shopping at 3am.

5) I was really missing my friend, former co-worker, running and triathlon training buddy, and amateur therapist Inca Princess today.

6) I would like to run the full Akron Marathon next year if I can get my act in gear.

7) I often stockpile blog posts by jotting down a draft and then filling it in and publishing them when the mood strikes me. I try to not post more than three things in a day (a rule I learned from Hoyt). And speaking of posts ... TK421 why aren't you at your post?

8) Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.

I am tagging the following people:

JDB

The Film Geek

Hoyt

Muze Euterpe

Michelle K

Mountain Laurel

The Fishing Guy

Shark Girl

Update: I added 8 more people to my list after sending this out. The others are listed here.

Everyone have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving ... or whatever you celebrate!
