Tagged by the inimitable and well-read Zeldafitz (who I’m having a blast reading, so check her out) as well as the incredible, boisterous Belinda (who is going to maul me at the BlogHer conference - this is already agreed upon and even encouraged) I must oblige these incredible writers who make a great read.

But…

…and this is a big butt, much like my own.

They must do mine as well. Are we all set ladies? Wonderful.

I Would, If I Could…

3 things you wish for (just for you)

1. A sabbatical from teaching while in another country. Preferably Portugal.
2. Substantial-sized, well-decorated loft in a progressive city.
3. Get my work published on my book on Allen.

3 things you would do to / for youself (if there was no one there to judge you)

1. Travel the world with my children while I taught them from my own curriculum.
2. Get hair extensions. Obscenely long.
3. Take dance lessons again.

3 bad habits you have

1. Taking advantage of that time of the month.
2. Making fun of the weddings in Sunday’s paper. Every week.
3. Cracking my knuckles.

3 insecurities you feel

1. That extra flab I keep around to protect my size 2 body - I don’t want it to get scratched. I’m protecting it.
2. My gummy smile on my crummy face. (Have you seen the size of my forehead? Geez.)
3. I keep wondering when everyone is going to realize I’m not as smart as I pretend to be.

3 talents / skills you wish you had

1. Organization and time management.
2. Playing an instrument like a violin or cello. God, the cello.
3. The ability to keep my mouth shut at crucial times.

3 things you would do if you had more time

1. Travel the world, one country per month.
2. Live on healthy foods, but damnit, it takes time to cut up all those vegetables. I want my diets easy. Like my men.
3. Take piano lessons again.

3 things that bring you peace / relaxation

1. Meditation.
2. Having my hair combed or played with.
3. Bubble baths with a glass of wine - all at Becky’s mansion in her McFabulous bathroom.

3 things that spark your creativity

1. Other creative people who are ok fulfilling the ideas I come up with; I need the do-ers around me to make them a reality.
2. Music that is of the utmost original. (Mostly classics or things with intense lyrics.)
3. Walking through an art gallery or art museum.

I’m tagging anyone with a birthday in the months January through December. Don’t let me down, you October people. I’m counting on you.
