      All this and awesome! You go Sara!

      Size 8?? Hate you! Mean it! And how can you NOT like watermelon? I think that’s un-American….

    2. Cakehead says:

      Ahhh, to be a size 8 again.
      I’m with you on the lists. Can’t do lists even if I try.

      You are one interesting lady ;)

    3. Diane says:

      How are we friends again?????? :)

    4. Popsolo says:

      i can’t *stand* watermelon.

    5. Tulipmom says:

      We have a lot in common. Except the Size 8 thing. Never gonna happen.

    6. You know, I thought you were mostly alright but the not liking watermelon thing is giving me pause.

      Pause.

      Well. Alright then. More for me and you’re still A-OK in my book!

      PS Please please please register to vote. Please. All the cool kids are doing it. Ok not really but all the same: Please register and vote. [/end lecture meant in the most pleasing non-demeaning way, honest]

    7. I love it. Clearly you are a VERY COOL person. And, I think “prone to insomnia” and “blogging obsessed” MUST go hand-in-hand, don’t you?

    8. Nell says:

      I love meeting other high school drop outs who are smart and funny! There are more of us than people realize.

    9. Csara says:

      Very interesting list! Can you prove the “sexy in heels” thing? ;)

    10. Overly opinionated? I don’t believe it.

      A person ‘reduced’ to a list of attributes. Don’t know if I’d be brave or honest enough to do that myself.
      Best wishes

      WE HAVE LOADS IN COMMON!

    13. Heather says:

      You mean we can never bond over a watermelon seed spittin’ contest? That’s just like NOT being southern. Ohmygawsh!

    14. Shawna says:

      OMG! We could be sisters or best friends LOL Not quite twins!

    15. amanda says:

      I HATE WATERMELON!!! That is soo funny! I think, for me, its the texture!! I love watermelon flavoring… just not actual watermelon!! EW.. makes me gag just thinking about it!!
      AND.. i cant believe you have never voted!!

    16. Christy says:

      LOL I hate watermelon! You already know we have alot in common, and we are like so the same age, even though I am older.

    17. DSB says:

      Thanks for letting me get to know you a bit better via this post :) We have a bit in common; I just wish being a size 8 was one of them!

    18. I’ve never voted, either. What’s up with that?

      Book addict, huh? Since we have so much time on our hands, we should start a mini-drinking, er, I mean book club. It would give me an excellent excuse to drive over there once a month for some drinking, damn, I mean non-children time.

      I liked this post so much I am working on my own “ME in my glory post” for tomorrow!

    20. Angela says:

      I’m with you on the watermelon…and about 15 other of your items I counted. I really wish I could like watermelons…I love the smell of them…but the texture just grosses me out.

    21. kellypea says:

      “high-school dropout” and “started college”…and an amazing writer! You go girl!

      I dropped out of college, had kids, divorced, went back, got married again, became a very passionate writing teacher *Woo Hoo* and had another child. *Whew* But I looooooove watermelon. With salt.

      And I love your blog.

    22. Tuesday says:

      That was a great post.

    23. Pendullum says:

      What a stupendous list…
      Should bring it with you, should you chose to go to Blogher…

    24. brandy says:

      “Ambitious in ways that don’t matter” was the standout one for me. I can completely relate. If you ever figure out a way to be ambitious in the ways that do, will you let me know how you’ve done it?

      I didn’t hate you until “Size 8″ ;)
