How Have You Changed in More Than 4 Years? How Are You the Same??

I couldn't think of anything to write today, so I started cheating...a little.

In August of 2009 I filled out one of those "About Me" surveys on The Facebook.  Today, almost 4.5 years later, I was re-filling it out.  I was going to call this an experiment in how much I've changed or stayed exactly the same throughout my mid-twenties, a 6-state move and some major life changes.  Then I stopped.  Some of the questions were stupid and boring, but over all, what it turned into was me realizing the ways I have and have not changed - which sounded like a much more interesting and readable blog post.

I still hit snooze for 15-30 minutes every morning that I do not have to get up to run, but instead of waking up sometime before noon, I wake up for work.  The normal things that should change, changed - most recent movie seen, what I had for breakfast, the last person I had dinner with, etc...  The normal things that should stay the same did in fact stay the same...

Our Book Club is Better Than Yours

Reading.  I've always enjoyed reading.  When I was little my dad used to read to me every night.  Even when I learned to read myself, my dad would read to me.  He'd come in and let me pick out a book for him to read.  Through my advanced powers of persuasion (i.e. saying please, being adorable and the baby of the family) I usually could get him to read three or four a night.  I would make all kinds of promises about cleaning my room and getting up early just so daddy would read to me more.  He read every Dr. Seuss book I had and Berenstein Bears books...and my personal favorite: The Very Hungry Caterpillar... backwards.  Yup.  Backwards.  My dad is and was amazing.  I would often continue reading after he left me to go to sleep.  My parents would wake up to a pile of books haphazardly thrown onto the floor next to my bed.  I was voracious.
