Movie stars, memories, mistakes and more

My oldest little girl is sick (again) with a scary fever (104.8 at its highest) and vomiting, so I am going to post something I finally finished last week but never got around to putting on here. I figure we are due for good health all around at our house, so hopefully I will be back to regular blogging (and running) soon!

So, better late than never, Katie (Miles of Kate) tagged me to share some fun things...

1. Who is the hottest movie star?
This is hard! I am really liking Gerard Butler right now. And Ryan Reynolds has grown on me lately (especially after The Proposal).

2. Apart from your house and car, what is the most expensive item you have ever purchased?
Probably our TV; or if you add it all up, running is probably the most expensive "item" in my life.

3. What is your most treasured memory?
Giving birth (so I guess that is two memories)

4. What is the best gift you ever received as a child?
I spent way too much time thinking about this without coming up with an answer. I have wonderful, generous parents who gave me many wonderful things while growing up. That in itself is a gift!

5. What is the biggest mistake you ever made?
I try not to look back. I just try to learn from my mistakes and look forward.

6. Four words to describe yourself.
Mom, wife, runner, writer

7. What was the highlight and lowlight of your 2008?
Highlight - the birth of my little girl
Lowlight - my other little girl's oral surgery

8. What is your favorite film?
My Fair Lady

9. Tell me one thing I don't know about you.
I have the perfect dog, a Boston Terrier named Rowdy.


10. If you were a comic book/strip cartoon character, who would you be?
I guess Phoenix in X-Men. My knowledge of comic book charaters is somewhat limited.

I haven't had much luck tagging people, and I took so long to respond that I will leave it up to you if you want to share these same things about yourself...
