I just rediscovered mine - I hadn't looked at it in almost two years - and it's still a pretty accurate description of me. Some of the obvious things have changed, of course, (For example, then I was planning a wedding and now I'm married), but I still think it's worth sharing, especially for those of you who I don't know or who haven't seen me in awhile. Enjoy.
1. I've been meaning to write this for about a week, but I find it really intimidating.
2. I just purchased my first car: A 2009 Subaru Forester. Her name is Sunshine.
3. I'm absolutely crazy about Sam Lem. I can't wait to be his wife.
4. I love my birthday. Hearing the date 9/18 thrills me - so much so that every time I see 9:18 on the clock I point to it and say: "It's my birthday on the clock."
5. I'm getting married in 118 days. I'm so excited that I don't even know what else to say.
6. Generally speaking, I love my job. I have met the most amazing people since I started working for MZA. I think I will be a Key Volunteer for the rest of my life.
7. One of the greatest honors of my life was when Mike and Amy asked me to be Max's godmother.
8. When I grow up, I hope that my kids will feel as close with their cousins as I was with Mike and Jack. Sometimes I get really scared that that won't happen because I live so far away.
9. I have an unhealthy obsession with Vanilla Coolers from Caribou Coffee. Frappuccinos don't event compare.
10. My parents still live in the same house I came home to as a newborn. That will always be home to me. That house, and wherever Sam is.
11. The majority of the people I care the most about live thousands of miles away from me. The thought of that sometimes makes me cry totally out of the blue.
12. I'm really conflicted about how much I miss Minnesota and how much I love my life in LA.
13. I started cooking in 2009. I made spilt pea soup, baked maccaroni & cheese, nectarine berry cobbler, fruit tarts, artichoke dip, rigatoni bolognese, and a few crock pot concoctions. So far, I'm pretty darn pleased with myself. I think I have a gift.
14. Speaking of cooking, one of my greatest goals in life is to be just like my Auntie Debbie. She is the best cook, holidays at her house are such a huge part of my jewish identity, and she is the glue that holds a very large, crazy family together. I love her and I want to do all of those things someday.
15. I'm obsessed with Summer Camp. When I daydream about escaping from the 9-5 routine, I always picture myself working at camp. This happens every June, never fail, just as Herzl is gearing up for the new camp season.
16. My favorite band is still the Counting Crows. I've seen them in concert 4 times. The last time I saw them was for my 25th birthday- they performed with the LA Philharmonic Orchestra. It was amazing.
17. I love to sing. I think everyone knows that. What you might not know, is that when I'm alone in my car, I do full-on performances. And you know what? They're pretty damn good.
18. I love this number.
19. My middle name is Rose. I love it.
20. Some of the happiest, most memorable, most fufilling nights of my life were at a small piano bar in the West Village called Rose's Turn. When I found out it closed, I cried. I feel truly sorry for those of you who never got to experience it.
21. I have the greatest friends in the whole world. And my family is worth bragging about too. Sometimes I am so overcome by how lucky I feel to have all of them that it brings me to tears. This has been happening more frequently since I got engaged. Most recently it's been brought on when listening to the song "More Love" by the Dixie Chicks.
22. I went to my pediatrician until I was in college.
23. I used to be so obsessed with the Dixie Chicks that I kept a scrapbook of all their pictures and news clips.
24. I love being a Fursetzer - it's a huge part of my identity. Even so, I am very much looking forward to life as a Lembeck. At the very least, my name will be easier to pronounce. And let's be honest, I deserve a break from spelling my name all the time.
25. My life is an open book. Chances are that, if I like you enough to tag you in this note, you probably already know everything I just said. I hope I didn't bore you.
