17. Favorite actor? It varies on the film they have chosen… again I like silly films and actors.
18. Loud music or soft? I guess it all depends on the mood… and who/what I am trying to drown out.

25. Turn off? Funky teeth… or back of the neck hair. Gag!
26. The reason I started blogging? I started blogging back in 2005 as a way to share and document my pregnancy with my family. I was newly living in California and my family was back in Missouri.

Over the years it evolved to be a place where I could share about me and my running adventures… as well as my life as a mom.
27. Fear? Drowning… even though I am a great swimmer. Heights… even though I like to climb. Bridges… even though I think they are pretty. So pretty much… driving on a bridge over water with my children in the van gives me great anxiety.

I’m jealous that you’re actually making time to read. It’s been soooo long since I’ve read a book.
I have a post with 20 random things about myself sitting in draft mode right now. Answering 50 questions would probably take much longer! Props to you!

I love this! It’s a great way to introduce yourself. I think I need to be a half a foot taller to make the BMI chart happy.
