Aimee at I tri to be me (love the title of her blog) tagged me to come up with random things about me. I've done this post a few times so far, but it is always fun to do it again. But, to keep it fresh, I am going to give you 10 random things about me from Chris's perspective.
Here we go, uncensored yet PG:)
1. Gives music a thumbs up or down within 3 seconds, and then she changes her mind.
2. Lived in our new house for 6 months before finding out where the kitchen garbage went when it left the house.
3. Tells Petru made up stories where he cheers up lonely traffic lights and lighthouses with his visits.
4. Has never had a professional massage, but has had 2 gift certificates for several months now.
5. Reads almost only nonfiction these days, but loves Jumpa Lahiri's work.
6. Loves beating her husband at anything - cribbage, quiddler, shoe tying races.
7. Has disappointed her uncle by eating only 2 slices of pizza at Papa Gino's all-you-can-eat buffet during her first summer in the USA.
8. She found out that she and I were reading the same book (Angela's ashes) during our second date (June 1999).
9. Finished her first 5K race in just under 25 minutes (Fresh Air Challenge, Cleveland May 2001), with no training and almost no prior running.
10. Is a kick-ass backyard badminton player!
So lets keep this rolling. Consider yourself tagged, if you want to!

i'm confused about the trash. does it not just go to the curb? or do you guys compost? i mean where else would it go once it leaves the kitchen? lol.
so fun to let chris do this - and he kept it nice!
Lindsay, the garbage bags go into the large garbage cans in the garage. How was I supposed to know, right? And we compost, also (I mean, Chris does!)
love it! and love the idea of asking the DH to answer those top ten things about me...might just do so.
now I wanna see some badmitton pics!;-)
Thanks! 70miles with some hills is completely different than 70miles in pancake-flat Michigan. I was trashed afterwards but I loved it.
So triathlon it is next year. Of course it all depends where I will be but I will do my best to finally try one.
You are a real inspiration. I know you are far from being an expert in triathlons (am I being too honest) but since I have no clue about triathlons I find your blog very helpful. For example, I had no idea what Masters was or that something like that existed before I read about it on your blog and I looked it up. And here I am now, signing up for Masters swim class:)
So, where did you use to put that garbage if not in garbage bins? Or was it always your husband taking trash out? So nice of him:)
Really clever to go from his perspective and very fun to read!! I love Jumpa L. too.
I love posts like this:) I bet after that awesome first 5K you were hooked on running! Just think how far you have come and everything that you have accomplished!
I just loved these answers via Chris, so cute. I enjoyed the trash quip and the mention of your competitiveness. Well, I KNOW he didn't out right say it but I can read between the lines...and your enthusiasm for racing is a big clue.
I'd love it if you wrote a little about women and competition. Do you have any strong thoughts about it?
Great post, very very funny.
Random fact about me, I always cheat at euchre, because that is how I was taught how to play--not because I believe it is right.
Thanks for playing along! I like how you posted your list from someone else's perspective! :)
Like the twist from his point of view!! When I met my hubby who is half Chinese and half Colombian, I was reading Amy Tan and Isabelle Allende...weird.
