My buddy Debbie tagged me in a “10 things about me” post and while I rarely do these (and won’t be tagging anyone, I thought it might be fun!
- I am leftie who does anything athletic with her right hand. It’s weird, I know. BUT I’ve met other lefties who are just like me. So maybe not as weird as I thought, huh?
- My very first concert was a Michael Jackson concert when I was about 6 or 7 years old. It was during his “Bad” tour and I’m so grateful I got to see him perform live. Even though when he turned into the werewolf / monster in thriller, I’m pretty sure I cried.
- I am not a big crier in my personal life, but as far as movies, TV, books, etc. go, I CRY ALL THE TEARS. It’s actually somewhat embarrassing some times. I may or may not have once cried while reading a book about doxie puppies (my baby girl Sasha is a doxie). Yeah, don’t ask.
- I have lived in DC for 5 years consecutively. This is the longest period of time I have lived in one city without moving. My father was military so we moved every 2-4 years growing up. Then I did college (4 years and then a move), law school (3 years and then a move), lived in Birmingham (not quite 2 years) and since 2009 I’ve been in DC. I’m starting to get a bit antsy, but I also love the feeling of really knowing an area!
- I think there is nothing better than a crispy (not burnt) piece of bacon. Scratch that — pieces of crispy bacon!
- I could nap in a hammock with a good book and my dog all day long and be satisfied.
- Speaking of naps, I LOVE a good one. Sunday naps = the best!
- I pretty much hate every run until I get 2-3 miles in. I’m always convinced that I can’t do it / I don’t want to do it / etc. The mind is crazy!
- I love the beach. I’d much rather be on a beach than many, many other places. Something about the air, the sand and the water soothes my soul.
- Although I’ve had a passport for the past seven years, I have yet to leave the country. Thank goodness the honeymoon will take care of that!
I’m not tagging anyone in this post, but I’d love to learn more about you if you want to share a fun fact or two in the comments! Thanks Debbie for tagging me! 🙂
I feel honored that you participated! 🙂 I am a leftie, too, but forgot to mention that. I am totally left dominate, though!

lefites unite!
oooh yay — another leftie!! 🙂
This is a great post, Courtney! I love that I have found my napping mate – ha! 🙂 No Sunday is complete without a nap; this Sunday will be challenging, as I will have to squeeze it in between football games. It’s a tough life, I know… I have been tagged, but have not yet posted; should be fun. Thanks for sharing!

I’m the same way – the first few miles are awful – EVERY TIME!!!!!
Michael Jackson – what a cool first concert!!!!

yeah, it was pretty awesome to see MJ live 🙂
I WISH I could take naps 🙂 Take ALL of the naps now while you can! I’m with you, I hate my runs until at least mile 4-5. And you better not get too antsy and leave us!!

haha, don’t worry sue — i don’t think we’re going anywhere anytime soon! 🙂 and i plan to take ALLLLL the naps while i can 🙂
yesss lefty in life, righty in sports right here! Except batting. I also hate every run for the first 2 miles. That’s why I have to go over 4 miles- I can’t finish a run having felt miserable for more than half haha!
Lindsay @brokeandbougie recently posted…MIA with the dogs
yay, another one!!! awesome. and yeah on the having to run a certain distance before it starts to feel okay 🙂
I LOVE the beach! What you said – there’s something about the combination of the air, the sand, the water – everything is just perfect there!

i 100% agree! the beach is my happy place. 🙂
So fun! love learning new things about you. Let’s see….
When I was 5 or 6, I got my baby toe chopped off in the fan of an exercise bike. Luckily, my grandpa was a practicing plastic surgeon the next town over, so he stitched that little piggy right back on.

oh my word! that is cray cray. but also kinda awesome 🙂
Mmmmm #5 and #7 bacon and naps haha. I also dislike the first 2-3 miles of a run, which makes running a 5K so difficult (well now I know my body prefers at least a 1/2 mile warm up).

5ks are HARD! having to push that hard is not easy!!
Number 3 is me to a T also. I cannot make it through movies without tears.
