100 Things – 11 & 12

August 27, 2008 Filed Under: 100 Things

I’ve decided to do the 100 things list one or two at a time. Since I made it through 10 things about me a few weeks ago, I’ll start at 11.

Some will be long. Some will be short. And some will be just right.

11. I wear mostly solid colors, and a lot of brown, which I got teased for a bit when I posted the above picture on Allie’s Answers for a post on clotheslines.

What’s the deal with brown? I’m not entirely sure. I used to wear a lot of black, but I’ve mellowed, maybe? I was told when I was younger that I couldn’t wear brown (because of my coloring), but I think I look good in it. It could be an act of defiance.

12. I’m a bad sleeper. I need to watch TV until I fall asleep (Scrubs, Northern Exposure, or Futurama are my preference) to get my mind out of thinking mode. I have perfected the switch the TV off right before I pass out move. The TV sometimes drives my husband crazy, but usually he’s done when his head hits the pillow anyway. He can fall asleep mid-sentence, rarely wakes up during the night, and when he’s done for the day, he’s just done and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. For me, sleep is this elusive, magical thing.

I’m writing this right now because he’s fast asleep, and I’m wide awake, but I feel bad turning the TV on, even though he probably wouldn’t notice.

    I did a 101 Things about me list on DL a few years ago. I’ve been thinking of doing a new list, but I’m not sure if I am that interesting! ;)

    My clothing is mostly black and blue. I like dark colors as well!

    Brown is an earth tone and you’re very in tune with the earth, so maybe that’s it?

    I am in a bad Tv/sleep relationship. I can’t sleep with it on. The newf can’t sleep without it.

    Compromise is a bitch.

    I’m a bad sleeper too. No matter what I do, I’m always wide awake at bedtime and super sleepy in the morning.

All My Life by Evan Dando is one of my favorite so All My Life by Evan Dando is one of my favorite songs, and today when I was in the car, iTunes churned it up, and I thought, ‘I bet I can play that,’ so when I got home I did. And it was immensely satisfying. So, I thought I’d share my messy first draft, because there’s a lot of joy to be found in just doing the thing you hoped you could do. This gave me joy. Thank you, @kenwilcoxguitar for teaching me things that made this possible. #awkwardguitar #evandando #allmylife #coversong
Two things there are never enough of: 1. Delightfu Two things there are never enough of: 1. Delightful books 2. Mid-life love stories. @thenormannation has given us both. Matt and I have a running joke about our literary rivalry, but truth is he’s a truly kind, keenly observant, super smart human with a very big heart, and one of the great joys of reading his books is how beautifully all of that shines through in his writing. Charm City Rocks (out today!) is so much fun to read, and I know it will be a bright spot in your summer. You don’t even have to take my word for it. Roxy can smell a hit. #matthewnorman #charmcityrocks #bookstagram #dailyroxydog #dogstagram
