5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[Lynn]

It feels like autumn, and that makes me very happy. I love the chill in the air and the comfort of my jeans and long sleeves.

I have lost 17 lbs and am easily into another size down. It's very gratifying. I hope, by winter, my medical tests will be improved, too. My partner and I are doing this together--she's lost more than 20 lbs. So proud of us.

My favorite skin care line is Jafra. I finally found a distributor--several states away. No matter. He's wonderful. My next treat will be the Royal Jelly Milk Balm.

In the past two weeks, my daughter moved from NY to Florida for her first "real" job and the start of her adult life. I am so proud of her, I feel like bursting!

I turned 50 earlier this month, and my sweetie gave me a party with some of our local friends. It was a surprise party, and I was surprised! xo

i get pedicures every 3 weeks- always hot pink. and i just found hot pink with glitter so i will now be taking my own nail polish with me

i have 21 jars of pickles that i made that have cured long enough to be eaten.help!

i just added 2 new tattoos to myself- my oncologist gave me a 2 week window where i could get ink. i went that night. she asked me last week to design a tattoo for her. i'm not gonna lie i feel very honored.

i hate capital letters.

i think that my therapist and hospice nurse are actually angels and i bet if they get a cut they bleed gold. they are amazing women who i could not live without.

I loath canned tuna and dont even start me on canned chicken

I am highly suspicious of people who are instant bonders.

I bought a dart board today. Its part of my stress reduction. Yes, I am going to post photos on it...lol....

I am so damned glad I no longer have menses and am ever so grateful for menopause

I have someone locally who SO wants to date me. I am trying my damndest to make her understand we are friends but she is literally sitting it out, waiting for me to be ready to date. Sighing....its not going to happen...

You will never see me on roller skates, roller blades or ice skates... (just imagine what a duck or horse looks like on those darn things!)

I was once a very avid mountain biker (before back injury) and have AMAZING calf & leg muscles & ass cheeks to prove it. I love my "cut" calf muscles. (note to self: MUST tone up those muscles so I can keep them lookin' damn sexy)

I HATE onions!!! It gets on my nerves when everyone always gives me a hard time about hating onions.

When completely alone (and no fear of neighbors or peeping toms) I love to run around the house with very little clothes on.... and after my chest surgery, I HATE to wear bras (because of the scars and because I CAN get away without one! *note to my sister...I know you hate having "fried eggs", but DAMN it's so much better than the weight I carried for years...plus, they look great "perky"!)

A very long time ago, when my apartment didn't have AC and I was lounging in my living room "in the buff", I caught a peeping tom (someone who was later found to be a neighborhood predator/stalker of young women when they were home alone) on my front deck...then the neighbors had to call the cops on ME to keep me from beating him to a pulp and having him pinned to the ground with his arm twisted behind his back before they got there. (he walked with a limp for a long time after that)

Were you beating him to a pulp while still in the buff?

I suffer from allergies all year long. Allergy meds don't help 100%, but it's saved me from getting severely sick for the last several+ years.

I'm not a big fan of onions. I "kind of" like them on some things, but they give me heartburn from hell. I do like how they smell when they're being cooked. On that note, there are many things that smell great when they're being cooked, but I don't like how they taste. I tend to think something's amiss between my nose, brain and taste buds.

Even though I don't like to eat certain things, I'll make them for Mare because I know She likes them. I'll just "pick them off" or make sure She gets double portions.

I've always been a little claustrophobic, but I think it's getting a bit worse with age. While we were vacationing in Myrtle Beach, the closed water slide freaked me out more than it normally would. What a #*@$&^ bummer.

I enjoy traveling and enjoy the fact that I've been doing more of it recently. We're planning another trip and I am stoked.

Being crazy for someone and getting the same back is something I do miss, yet feel fortunate in knowing I have had this.

I enjoy conversations about the past with elderly people.

I love veggies and hate fruit.

One of my favorite things to do is cook for friends.... it's about nurturing...

I love to build things, but can get frustrated because I tend to be a perfectionist.

1. My family is aching and hurting as my Mom continues to face cancer's cruel indignities.

2. I don't believe that Mercury's retrograde affects my life at all...I prefer to blame everything on PMS. I can really get my arms around that one.

3. This is my favorite place to be:

4. My dog has kennel cough.

5. It feels good to smell Autumn coming.

I am a sucker for a pretty sundress

my hair is so long now I can twist it to the side and wrap it up in a pony tail

I turn the sound off on my computer when I play that cursed colored ball game. The sound wakes my dog up and startles her

I am going to go to a drumming weekend in WV. In fact, *shimmmer* I am camping!

because my surgery was delayed a week, I get to go our county fair which is the largest county fair on this side of the Mississippi. No, true!

1. I am colorblind. Out of the six of us in my family growing up, the four of us that were color blind would out-vote the other two and there's not much you can do when majority rules (Yes, the neighbor's cat was green).
2. Even though I'm colorblind, I worked for several years as a graphic artist and none of my fellow designers knew.
3. I was on an Olivia cruise where they were shooting the L Word. I knew someone on staff, so ended up being an extra (in 5 or 6 shots) and best of all, got to literally stand just over the director's shoulder for most of the scenes on-board. Since I am into filmmaking, it was one of my favorite vacations.
4. I've been fortunate enough to have played on national championship teams in two different sports. (college softball and rugby)
5. I came out in college on a beach in Santa Monica with 15 other naked women. However, the story is funnier than it is sexy.

I've been obsessed the last few months with finding out about my parent's past. They never spoke about where they were during the Holocaust, and I've made it my mission to retrieve as much information as I can. I may never know details, but I will hopefully find some of their footprints. The waiting part however, is a bitch.

On that note, I am patient, but not all the time. My patience depends on what I am waiting for. For the most part, I am more patient than not, and that seems to amaze some people.

I haven't had a pepsi in over four days. It's been replaced by ginger ale.

Ham and cheese is my favorite deli sandwich. Dry, no condiments. I just had one for lunch.

I'm an "observer". I can sit in a public place for hours just watching people. If nothing else, it confirms just how strange people are. (Some) People are quite entertaining.

~ My friends and I always debate who among us is the most warped. With an email I shot out about 3 minutes ago, I believe I won the contest. <G>

~ Speaking of friends, I'm fortunate enough to live across the street from my two best friends.

~ I'm a wicked multitasker.

~ I hate the word "biotch." Seriously. WTF??

~ I love the word "twatwaffle." I use it frequently to describe people I don't like.
