How do you sum up 10+ years to an old friend?
I recently reconnected with one of my best friends from my high school days. Trying to recap on what had happened since we both left town in the mid 90’s was an interesting exercise. The girls we were then are very different but still at the root of the women we are today. We ended up closing the recap emails with a 10 things you should know about me today. It was fun and silly and I figured for those that don’t know me well and want an insight, here it is:
1 – I have ridiculously small feet for my height; it may explain my un-coordination and the fact that I have broken 6-7 bones in the last decade and no I did not pull off a double break of the arms while walking again.
2 – Took a greyhound bus and moved across the country not knowing a soul with $500 in my pocket, turned out to be the best 4 yrs of my life.
3 – Met over 20 world Presidents/Prime Ministers, countless Ambassadors, High Dignitaries and public figures only to be shocked and near fainting when I met and hugged Paul Gross of Due South.
4 – Got married in Vegas, became a divorce statistic 3 yrs later.
5 – I still get incredible pleasure jumping through puddles on a rainy day and yes I am still waiting to be kissed in the rain
6 – I took up triathlon, this means that I spend more time at the gym then in bars and there is a lingering chlorine smell following me around.
7 – Sometimes I am completely amazed by where I have landed with my job, but I worry that I am missing out on life in favor of a career.
8 – I drained my fish again this year, Molson the 5th. I have decided that I should not have pet fish anymore.
9 – I accidently set myself on fire, stop-drop-roll lessons from high school paid off
10 – I still can’t walk in heels, no matter how hard I try.
