Picked up this "tag" from my dear, long-lost but now-found (thanks to Facebook) high school friend, Julie -- the perfect blog filler for a night that I am in between "getting sick" and "already sick". [Edited to add: turns out the icky, getting-sick feeling is thanks to flu shot side-effects; who knew you had to get sick to keep from getting sick?]

i am: a wife, a friend, a lawyer, impatient
i think: that Flutie is the best and cutest dog in the whole wide world
i know: that everything is going to be okay
i want: to be able to eat cheese, chocolate and french fries without gaining weight
i have: so much more than I deserve
i wish: that so many of my friends and family weren't far, far away
i hate: snobs
i miss: being a nanny (sometimes)
i fear: mediocrity
i feel: like I need to jump start my mind, body and soul
i hear: the new Adele album playing on my iTunes
i smell: nothing because I am congested, blech
i crave: cheese, always, like a freakin' mouse
i search: for close, real girl friends who "get me"
i wonder: if I will ever live outside the United States
i regret: not writing as many real letters as I used to
i love: waking up at my leisure without an alarm or obligations
i ache: when Dan is far away
i care: who wins the upcoming election
i always: eat breakfast
i am not: afraid to admit when I'm wrong
i believe: that we all need each other
i dance: after a few glasses of wine
i sing: my heart out when I'm by myself
i don't always: have the right words on the tip of my tongue
i fight: rarely
i write: to be known
i win: at being the Queen of Punctuality
i lose: my cool very rarely
i wish: that the next season of Mad Men wasn't so long from now
i never: let a slice of pizza go uneaten
i confuse: Flutie
i listen: intently
i can usually be found: wondering what to make for dinner
i am scared: of spiders and snakes
i need: to just talk it out
i am happy: that the holidays are just around the corner

Not "tagging" any one in return, but let me know if you're going to do it also. Happy Monday!
