Body Parts I Have Injured
Fortunately (knock on wood), I’ve never broken a bone or had an injury that required surgery, stitches or an overnight stay in a hospital. I’ve been blessed with good health and typical overuse injuries: crunchy knees (God Bless Glucosamine), IT Band, shin splints, sore muscles.
I still have a scar on my arm where I fell during a trail race. That’s just cool.
Awards You’ve Won
Oh man…this is hilarious. A few standouts:
*Winning “Best Personality” in my High School Senior Class (Isn’t that like the “Butt Ugly Award?”)
*Some ridiculous “Employee of the Month” awards that attempted to make me feel better about my paultry salary as a Radio Marketing Director
*7th Grade Spelling Bee that took me to the State Championship where I was promptly knocked out in the beginning round by some mensa card-carrying Indian kid.
*This isn’t an award, but I was cast as “Annie” my Senior Year in the play. It is definitely a hard knock life.
*Some Field Hockey Award where I was selected to play on the Regional team for a game.
*I was never Homecoming Queen, but my friend Lynn and I DROVE the convertible around the track that was carrying the queen!
On to more life-changing awards:
* #2 Overall in a 2003 All-Female Off Road Duathlon. The only person to beat me was a girl that I invited to race with me. Bitch!
* #6 Age 30-34 in 2006 Dallas Marathon
* See other recent hardware acquisitions on the right hand side bar under this year’s race schedule. It’s been a good year fo’ sho
*Getting to become Mrs. Barrett to the coolest dude in the world who makes me giggle and puts up with my crap. (and 5:00am alarm clocks)
Nicknames You’ve Been Called
*Big Mama, Bubba, My Fat Sister Lou Lou and other assorted "fat" names(going back to my youth. Ahh the crappiness of having four older brothers!)
*Carebear (who knew my childhood nickname would foreshadow my married name of Barrett?!?)
*Bear
*Sappster
*Deb(my little obsession with Debbie Gibson)
*Sappyrunner
*Sop (Coach Gilbert’s pronunciation of my last name)
I know there are more, but I’m drawing a blank!!

I've been formulating a theory in my head that healthy people begin a process of lying to themselves about food.
Prime example. I sat down with a bowl of Kashi cereal recently. It had been a few months since I'd had it and as much as I wanted to enjoy it, once I got to the bottom of the bowl I thought to myself: "this stuff sucks."
Kashi Go Lean Crunch cannot be your favorite food! Give me meatball subs. Give me hawaiian chicken pizza... I wanted to admit I liked that stuff for the longest time. I've finally surrendered! :)
*Grease
*Annie
*When Harry Met Sally
OMG, how did I leave those off my list?!
What a great list! I think you should get a side car for the Vespa so you and the man can go out in style!!
I'm just glad I influenced the food list - twice!

What's with those VH1 Countdown shows? I just can't stay away from them.
I like your list of movies, shows, and fave foods.
Stay tuned...
Oh--under Jobs--I actually forgot:
Wedding DJ and Stand Up Comic (I've been paid for both! That makes them jobs)
