Today

Well, I feel like it's sort of official since I've declared this day the "No More Crying" Day. It really is time to get on with it. And so today I woke up before seven a.m. - a habit I intend to continue. I went for a little run - 4.5 miles. And boy was it a joyous thing to run outside in temperatures that topped out at a mere 64 degrees...at least according to the iphone. And then I thought...what should I write about? I found five of these questions while surfing around on different writers' blogs. And then I replaced one with my own...because I really don't want to be a paranormal creature. And anyway, why not, I thought. I'm tapped out of ideas...for today.

1.One book I wish I had written?
It's a toss up. I love A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. She's a beautiful writer. Her prose sings to me. I dream of being that gifted a writer. And for thematic reasons, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, of course. Seriously great morality tales. I love the focus on love, friendship, sacrifice. Both are favorites.

2. Favorite animated Disney movie?
Cinderella is always my first choice. Probably because I grew up loving it. I wanted so much to be her. And more recently, Tangled. I have watched it several times, and I still enjoy it. And I think I want to be her, too. She's tough. I like that.

3. Sweet or salty?
Sweet, obviously. But salty is good. And sometimes sweet and salty together is best...as in kettle corn...YUM! Or lately the trend for putting sea salt on brownies or cupcakes...as long as they are chocolate or caramel. Delish!

4. Favorite city?
Well...it's so hard to pick one. But I do have a love for D.C. After living so close and even working down town for a while, it is hard not to love it. Close second would be London. And then maybe Paris and New York are tied for third.

5. Something I couldn't live without? Excluding hubby's, wives, children and pets.
Well, probably would be lost without my MacBook. I seriously love this thing. And even though sometimes I get frustrated with it because, well, it is old and somewhat on the slow side, it has seen me through a lot...law school most especially.
