Have you SEEN me?

Formerly Not So Much. . .the daily musings of a 26-year-old PYT whose self-love is superceded only by her obnoxiously endearing ability to remind you at all times just how fabulous she is. Guys too stupid to realize how lucky they are to be graced with her presence? Woman with 4-pack abs climbs onto the elliptical trainer next to her? Arrives at Chick-Fil-A at 10:37, only to learn she has missed her opportunity for a chicken biscuit? She throws all these setbacks off with disdain. . .after all, have you SEEN her??

Lemon's Questions

1. If you could only keep one of yours senses which one would it be?  Touch, of course.  Hello?  Do we not know that I'm a minx-like sex kitten?  Plus, without the pesky "taste" sensation, I'd be at least 15 pounds thinner.  I'd miss hearing though (see the post about itunes).

2. When in your life have you felt the most and least sure of yourself?  I pretty much only get MORE sure of myself, so I guess right now!  Honestly, I've never had any hang-ups about intelligence or humor or being liked. . .but I've had serious body image problems all my life.  I've never had an eating disorder or anything, but I was somewhat overweight in middle and high school and never had a lot of confidence in the dating realm (ironic to read my blog now, huh?).  I also have a bit of a "baby complex" because I am the youngest of 4 and always have been patronized and made to feel like I can't *do* anything on my own.

Then, I lost a bunch of weight in college and all of a sudden, boys NOTICED me.  See the monster THAT created.  But I always had steady boyfriends, and wasn't really single for any length of time til my first year of law school. . .and so my most "confident" phase started then, when I began really "dating" lots of guys.  (No cracks, Miss O.) 

Then, on the "baby complex" issue, throw in the accomplishment of graduating law school, being a smart, attractive, young professional with a killer sense of humor and moving to a new town and doing things on my own (i.e. owning a dog, buying a house, buying a new car) and I feel most assured NOW.  Least assured?  When I was in middle school probably and hadn't really come into my own. . .looks, health, friendships, feeling accomplished and responsible and "grown-up" etc.  It's just an awkward age for everyone, but I found it especially vile.

3. What is your favourite spot in your living space?  On the couch, with a view of my red dining room, which is fabulous, in front of my flat-screen TV with a Netflix popped in, or Nip/Tuck on Tivo, with my dog on the couch beside me chilling out and relaxing.  Of course, that's a hard choice because my bedroom is PINK, and I love it too.  I love my whole house really.

4. If you could re-do one day in your life, which one would it be?  Oh gosh, there might be a few.  I'm going to go with this one:  once, I was visiting a friend in DC, my best friend from college.  We went out.  I ending up dancing with a guy, and she left, and I told her I'd be right behind her.  I thought she understood this was code for "I'm going home with this guy."  I called her about 10 the next morning to say I'd be home soon.  She was hysterical, she wanted to call the police.  Luckily, her boyfriend (now husband) said, give her til 10, she'll call at 10 (thanks, Mike).  I so regret upsetting her for something stupid like a hook-up.  I am SO penitent about that, and I would do it over if I could, and just leave with her. 

5. Favourite hot beverage?  Apple Cider.  I don't do coffee or hot tea really.  But I prefer cold beverages.  Especially if ice cream is involved.  (What?!  Ice cream is a "beverage.")

6.  How much do I like lemons?  They are my favorite citrus fruit!
