I'm pretty sure I've been tagged to do this already, but that was last year, and so here I go again.
1. My favorite flowers are hydrangeas. My father recently pointed out that in It's a Wonderful Life, which is one of my favorite movies, Mary hides in the hydrangea bushes when her robe accidentally slips off.
2. The very first time I met my future husband, we went running together (outside, in January). My friends thought this was an exceedingly strange first date. To which I now say: Ha ha!
3. I prefer reading non-fiction to fiction. I just finished Malcolm Gladwell's new book, The Outliers, and now I'm reading One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding.
4. I am a member of New York Road Runners, which pre-assigns runners to "start corrals" in races based on their previous best running time. I'm really proud of myself because I just ran a 4-mile race in 33 minutes flat (8:15 per mile), thereby moving up my corral! Now I know how my students feel when they change reading levels.
5. I dislike both white chocolate and dark chocolate. Only milk chocolate will do!
6. I dream about school with alarming frequency.
7. I am an only child, and so is my future husband. Our poor children won't have any aunts or uncles or cousins :(

i like hydrangeas too! i like them because they're nature's acid/base test. the flowers are blue in basic soil and red if the soil is acidic.
i also dream about school with alarming frequency, it's lately been random people from my past (who have no expertise in my field) giving me my oral exam...eep!
Oh, my gosh. I JUST realized as I read your post, that as an only child, MY kids won't have any aunts, uncles, or cousins, either! WOW! How did I miss that?!?! Good thing my fiancee has EIGHT living siblings. Whew.
