Drink of choice? Coffee. I’m a complete and hopeless addict.
Essential item for every day use? I know lots of people have been saying computer, but I’m going to go all Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and say a towel. They’re pretty indispensible after swimming and showers, which are two of my daily activities. I’m just saying…

And anyone else who would like to play!

This was great fun.

mmm carrot cake.
Water Polo is one of the funnest things to watch during the Olympics. The strength needed is amazing.
Wow! I am glad you did the ABC's. You have a lot of great answers. I was surprised by the Water Polo, as you don't really hear of it that much.
A pet rat! cool!
Ditto on the water polo -- is that like "Marco--Polo".
We're planning on WA next summer--never been. Love carrot cake and Autumn too. I'm an on-timer and love beets :)
Thai food, yum. Not a big carrot cake fan! Water Polo! Awesome! Love getting to know more about my fellow bloggers!
Oh, awesome answers! I want to play water polo! LOL! I really loved this meme it was fun.
All - yes...water polo is a bit unusual, but actually it's more common than you'd think, especially at the college level. At big schools like Michigan, Indiana, Berkeley, etc., they field women's water polo squads in order to balance out the ratio of men and women playing varsity sports for Title IX purposes. It's the schools with huge football teams which seem to need water polo the most. If you've never watched a game, tune in during the next Summer Olympics - it's really something! I've read reports that water polo players are all-around the fittest athletes in the world, and have the best cardiovascular health. Thanks for reading!
and why wouldn't i be your best friend? :D
i am really glad i supplied that water polo answer... you got a TON of replies to that!
Water polo? So basically you could kick our butts if you don't like our comments?!
Lisa - maybe back when I was in shape (kidding!). Since college I've had reconstructive knee surgery and broken my wrist, so I haven't been training regularly, but I still like to play a friendly game. I'm also thinking about getting into coaching. It's really fun...like soccer in the water. Very social and challenging and just, you know, something out of the ordinary!
BEETS! ekk!!!! disgusting lol :D
LOVE ur ABC's
Silly girl, you're supposed to let a person know when they are tagged! :) I filled this out a while ago- I think it's time I do it again....we all know I change often!
