ABC's of Me

My friend did this on her cool blog and I was so intrigued that I felt compelled to try this myself.  I am not super confident that I can pull it off as well but I thought I would give it a spin.

Age: 43 sometimes I feel like 20 and sometimes I feel like 60.
Blood Type:  O Negative.  Universal Donor but because of my anemia and thyroid  issues I can never donate.
Cats:  I have two and have had cats most of my adult life.
Dogs:  I have a gorgeous French Bulldog that I am totally gaga over.  I have had terrible dog karma over the last few year
Exercise:  I struggle with and hate the word.  I want to be better and do more and yet I do not.
Food:  I love all types of food - cooking and eating.
Goals:  I love to set them and I always try but I am never successful at really accomplishing the way I want to.
Home:  I am not sure where I really want to live but I loathe the fact I have this huge house with a huge mortgage and would do anything to live in a small little loft covered with books and records and art or maybe just art...i digress
Ice cream: I love ice cream and hot fudge.  I love when it is hot enough that I need ice cream to cool down.
Jazz: I used to love it and listen to it all the time now I find I skip over the songs and I do not know why.  Time to rediscover.
Kayak: I want to go kayaking this spring and summer.  I wanted to learn how to white water raft kayak but it looks so scary.  Learning to swim will make that more possible.
Lentils: I am afraid of them for some reason.  I enjoy them when snuck on a dish that I order, but I have yet to cook them even though I have bought them.
Medication: I hate taking medication.  I am supposed to take 2 pills a day at a minimum.  I often forget.   I should also take a multivitamin and some calcium (my age) and fish oil would not hurt.  Ugh
Name: I was born Brooke Renee Chancellor.  I have had 3 names since them.
Oatmeal: I love oatmeal, especially cut oats.  I should make it more.
Puzzles: I love putting together puzzles.  I hate how my cats destroy them.  I wish my guy enjoyed them more.
Quandary: How do I live the life I want and still enjoy the things I enjoy?
Running: I want to be a real runner.  How is that defined for me?  Under a 10 minute mile is all and regularly runs...maybe even loves it.
Swimming: I could actually pass a swim test now but I am still not really comfortable.  I need to train more, but still Yeah me for getting to the point where i can actually swim a lane without completely freaking out!
Travel: I have gone many places and it was awesome but now travel just seems so expensive but I miss exploring new places and things.
US Air Force: I was in the air force.  It feels weird to me that is a true statement.  3 lifetimes ago - I was just a child.
Vacation: I have not had a true vacation in over 3 years.  It might be time.
Work: I like work.  I need to be challenged.  Right now I am waiting for it to get there.
X Chromosome: I have two.
Yucky: Things I want to like but just can not seem to:  Olives, Sardines, Anchovies, cooking Chard, eating healthy :)
Zen: Karma and Yin\Yang really call out to me.  Balance of life is something that I struggle with and strive for.

Kind of interesting and glad I did it!
