All About Me, in Fifty Days or More

For the past several weeks, my friend Sheena has been blogging fifty days of fun facts about her, and other random stuff. Since I've been enjoying reading her posts, and they'll soon be coming to an end, I've decided to prolong the fun by doing my own fifty posts. I'm not sure all of these will be completely applicable in my life, but we'll work with them. So, just to heighten your anticipation, here's what you can look forward to:

Day 1: Introduce yourself
Day 2: A bulleted list of everything that happened in your day
Day 3: Your favorite movie
Day 4: A photo of you taken over 10 years ago
Day 5: A letter to your crush
Day 6: A list of what you ate today
Day 7: A youtube video you find funny
Day 8: A photo of you taken recently
Day 9: List some of your favorite blogs
Day 10: A letter to a person who has caused you pain
Day 11: Share your favorite recipe(s)
Day 12: Self portrait
Day 13: Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 14: A song from your childhood

Day 18: Set or share a goal
Day 19: Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 20: A letter to someone that changed your life
Day 21: Your favorite television program

Day 39: Zodiac sign and do you think it fits your personality
Day 40: A deceased person you wish you could talk to
Day 41: Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 42: A bad habit you have
Day 43: A picture of your favorite place in the world
Day 44: Something that fascinates you and why
Day 45: A letter to yourself a year ago
Day 46: Photos of personal things in your life (pets, family, house, etc)
Day 47: Birthday wish list
Day 48: A photo of you right now
Day 49: Hopes, dreams, and plans for the next 365 days
Day 50: A letter to your reflection in the mirror

And so, the introduction. Let's be honest, if you read my blog it's very likely that you already know me. Nevertheless, here it comes. I'm not actually very good at this sort of thing, so we'll just see what comes out.

I am a lawyer, a mother (just one, nearly 18 mos. old), a Christian (in all the good sense of the word, I hope), a wife and a reader.

I love poetry, music (especially Rachmaninoff), chocolate, cooking, seasons that aren't summer, walks, Italy, trees, books, thought provoking conversation and movies.

I do not like watermelon, meeting new people, going without sleep or food, paisley, flying, shoes that aren't Chacos (yes, I know this contradicts with my hatred of summer, but it's still true), making decisions and family law.

I like to listen more than to talk. I like to go to the opera more than the movies. I joined Facebook just so I could keep playing Scrabble with my law school friends.

And that is me.

  2. I love this beautiful Melanie in a nutshell. I like the things you chose to share. Like Bethany, I learned some new things, too! And I am really looking forward to the next 50 days as well! (I'm glad to see that The Peanut Gallery Speaks made it on to your blogroll!)

  3. What a fun activity! It's always interesting to see what people say about themselves. I might steal this idea from you (someday in the future if I ever get caught up and need something to blog about.... big if)

  4. Wow, I guess I need to check your blog more often, I'm behind the times. It will be fun to learn more about you in the next 50 days. Good for you to be dedicated enough to do that. And I love all the pictures and updates about Virginia. The comfort coats are my favorite!
