I never was a very fast runner. Either that, or I just really never had anything to run away from (er. . .from which to run away?). So I have been tagged by my first youth minister (sounds better than "old youth minister") to share 5 things you may not know about me.
1. I was expected to be little Seve Herron (named for Spanish golfer Seve Ballesteros) until I entered the world and to everyone's surprise I was a girl, according to my dad. My dad says I have a swing that people can't take lessons to mimic. I attribute it to my almost namesake.
2. I am so afraid of moths that if I see one flying around the room I will do everything in my power to ensure there is no possible way it could go into my ear short of actually leaving the room. In other words, I shrug my shoulders up, put my hands by my ears, and watch its every move.
3. My dentist has lectured me on more than one occasion about how I brush my teeth too often.
4. One summer I ate nothing but red-white-and-blue pops--some days eating as many as 5. I was very picky about it, too. I would ONLY eat the America's Choice brand (Farmer Jack store brand).
5. I have dedicated a very large portion of my summers in the past (and will continue in the future) to learning how to ride my bike with no hands. I've only succeeded once for a stretch longer than a quarter mile, but the bike was really well balanced and I later learned that it woldn't have tipped if I had two legs on one side of me. So I still am trying to learn, but my average is 4 pedals before I crash, tip over, or grab the handle bars.
Okay--I didn't say they'd be interesting.

Seve, I mean Kari, I made it from a summer job to my house one time without touching the handlebars (about 3/4 of a mile) at 1:45AM until a cop pulled me over and told me he'd ticket me if he ever saw me doing that again.
I was a smart-mouth back then and my response almost landed me a ticket: "I can't believe you pulled me over for this, don't you have any real police business to do?"
Also, I did keep riding without using the handlebars. It's handuy in bike races. You never see the pros getting in trouble! Keep it up! You can do it!
Actually, "away" is a preposition too, so it would be "away from which to run."
But I don't *only* read your blog to correct your grammar, I promise...
