I’m 41 years old. I believe anyone who says 40 is the new 20 must be at least 60 years old. 2. I am terribly indecisive. Except when it comes to pickles. I hate pickles. 3. I say my favorite color is yellow; but I think it's really Amaranth. Or Scarlet. Electric Crimson is nice, too. Okay, okay. Red. 4. People think I wear heels to appear taller. Well, that, and flats are so not sexy. Plus I’m actually as flat-footed as a duck. 5. Pronouncing the Sanskrit names for the ashtanga asanas (such as Triang Mukhaikapada Paschimottanasana) correctly may be the key to being good at yoga. I may never be good at yoga. 6. I think my 8-year old daughter is beginning to suspect that I’m just winging it. 7. Last year, I left my job, after 10 years of service, because a friend told me I shouldn’t live to work. He left out that I should work to live. 8. I’ve given up shopping. Until my next credit card billing cycle anyway. 9. I am hopelessly obsessive-compulsive. It takes me at least 3 hours to write anything less than a page long and it's never just right. That includes this profile description. Which I might re-write completely. So come back tomorrow. 10. My mom tells her friends that she has 2 daughters: one is smart and the other is beautiful. I insist I’m the beautiful one.
