Very ME:

- sleeping with right foot OUTSIDE covers, no matter how cold
- can’t stop watching **Y&R** and **Bold and the Beautiful** (daytime soaps)
- eating cereal for dinner
- always turning down the heat
- twirl hair around finger when daydreaming
- 30-something white woman that enjoys rap, hip hop and alternative music
- have many more male friends than women
- NFL and NCAA men’s basketball aficionado
- rarely wear jewelry other than wedding ring and small gold hoop earrings
- have kept a journal since I was 10 years old, and have ALL of them in a box…somewhere
- never ending crush on William Shatner
- watching the same movies over and over
- bursting into tears when angry or frustrated
- Diet Mountain Dew addict
- not a very good swimmer
- must read all cheesy “women’s” magazines like **Woman’s Day** and **Family Circle**
- hate wearing socks
- love to write letters, send cards and put stickers all over the envopes
- never wear a coat unless it’s below 20 degrees

. malamutes or malamutts  
. full-size American made pickups  
. hiking  
. driving down a dirt road along a river with a fly rod, raft or both in the back of the pickup  
. girlfriends that make my friends go, “Huh, I wouldn’t have thought she was your type.”  
. never wearing blue jeans  
. refusing to listen to 70’s rock on the radio ("play some freaking B sides instead of ‘Born to be wild’ for the 1,000,000,000th time)  
. knowing someone in every town we go
