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.

One of the people I keep, my dear friend @bakirkwo One of the people I keep, my dear friend @bakirkwood — who I’ve known since my freshman year at Ithaca — who read several drafts of my book about April over the years and kept telling me how much she believed in me — printed out the coloring sheets and made some art with her daughter Abby! (Brenda said they didn’t need to be included in the giveaway, but wanted to share). It made me so happy to see their covers! I’d love to see yours too! And if you tag me when you post or email me photos of what you create with the cover design (info at allielarkinwrites dot com) I’ll enter you in the giveaway for a signed paperback of The People We Keep, a book mug from @erinkillianpottery & some coffee from @caffe.appassionato! Link to download the coloring sheet is in my bio. Thank you so much, Abby & Brenda! Love you! ❤️
