10 Day You Challenge: Day 5: 6 Places

...Places I'd like to go:

1. Disney - Florida. That place can make me smile when I'm feeling crappy as hell. And this one time, I ran a marathon there.

2. London, cause I've always wanted to.

3. French-speaking Canada, or Paris, to use my limited French.

4. Denver, CO. Lots of friends who live there, and it looks beautiful.

5. Salt Lake City, Utah.....the tourism commercials are amazing.

6. Hawaii.

10 Day You Challenge: Day 4: 7 Wants

1. A teaching job...a return to the classroom. My heart hurts.

2. A vacation. Somewhere warm. It's been 4 years....

3.  To reach and live at my goal weight.

4. To be married, someday.

5. To have children, someday. 

6. To get out of debt.

7. Did I mention a teaching job?

10 Day You Challenge: Day 3: 8 Fears

1. Being alone. This is my hugest fear.


2. I fear never returning to the classroom to teach again.

3. Horror movies.

4. Not being able to conceive my own children.

5. Cancer. It's taking my family by storm lately.

6. I fear that I will lose my sense of self.

7. Diabetes. My mother has it, and I am predisposed to it by BOTH genetics, medical conditions, and my BMI.

8. Losing one of my parents before I get married & have children. I never had any grandfathers (that I remember) and I really don't want my children to experience that.

10 Day You Challenge: Day Two: 9 Loves

1. Flavored lattes: They are a TRUE indulgence for me. Nonfat, sugar-free when possible, and sometimes even soy for a rich, thick flavor. They represent slowing down - something I don't do often.

2. Stars: In any form. In the sky, star jewelry, star tattoos (I have some). It started with stars in the sky at a VERY young age. They bring me peace. I'm not sure HOW it started, but I just LOVE bright stars in a dark night's sky.

3. Cooking: In all capacities: cooking for myself, cooking for others, cooking for entertainment...I have a whole photo album dedicated to my cooking on facebook. I REALLY enjoy making flavorful things WW-friendly.

4. Making lists. Crossing things off.


5. Dance classes. Taking, teaching. Performing.

^ Not me. If only.

6. Wrapping Christmas presents. I <3 Christmas.

7. Spooning. Makes me feel very safe. And warm. And loved.

8. Microbrews. Especially Blue Point Blueberry.

9. Getting flowers....It's been so long.

Ten Memories:

•
