I've been tagged!

Mapgirl tagged me to reveal 5 things about myself. I'm holed up inside sick on this warm, gorgeous day, so I'm thankful for something to focus on! Here goes:


1) I am fluent in the French language. When I was a Senior in high school, I went to France and lived with a host family for a year. That was 15 years ago, but the French is still alive in me. I was lucky to have a host family that couldn't speak English and to be able to attend a high school. I think that helped me retain it.

2) I am originally from Georgia (the state), and grew up with a very thick southern accent. I've lost the accent for the most part from living in France and New York. I have friends here in DC who don't even know that I'm from the South!

3) On a whim, I took the pre-licensing class for my DC real estate license. The 2-week class ended yesterday, and I passed the final exam. Now I'm sitting for the actual exam in 2 weeks. Because I'm not employed at the moment, it's a way for me to continue exploring my options to help me avoid relying on working for someone else again for a paycheck. I'm still trying to decide what I'd like to do with it.

4) Each member of my immediate family lives in a different state. (is this interesting? I don't even know). Mom is in Chicago, Dad is in Atlanta, one younger sister is in Manhattan, and the other is in Charlotte, NC.

5) I have a secret dream to do an Ironman triathlon one day. And to start a bank. They seem like a far reach, but nothing is impossible. :)

Hooray! You blindly followed my command! This could get dangerous!

Good luck on your real estate exam. /me hands you some virtual chicken soup. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you! Feeling better now. And my first solid food was cookies at a Christmas party last night. But I WAS able to stay away from the yummy cocktails.
