24/7 in January

For those of you not familiar with skirt! magazine, it's a publication for women that doesn't "tell you how to lose weight, find a better man or compare yourself to every other woman on the planet." It's published out of South Carolina with various customized editions in cities across the southeast. (Go here to see where you can pick up a copy in Memphis.) From what I can tell, several of the pages are produced in South Carolina with a few pages produced locally. They feature essays from freelancers, a photo of a local man modeling a skirt and a Q&A called "24/7" with a local woman. Here's my 24/7 for January:

I'm thinking about
when I can start running again













Always...
say 'thank you'

Never...
tempt fate














If I could be totally wild, I would
quit working altogether and make a living as a writer














The best thing I ever won:
a college scholarship in journalism (and maybe the only thing?)

I am guilty of:
contempt prior to investigation

Something most people don't know about me:
I sometimes drive with the heat on and the windows open.

What keeps me awake at night:
Worrying about how the faltering economy is going to affect my family














My passion:
finding joy in life

My best friend says I am:
crazy to wear high heels














I still can't get the hang of:
parallel parking Big Daddy's car

The one item that has changed my life:
my college degree

I can't live without:
Starbucks (was that my answer last month?)














Whose diary would you most like to read?
Hillary's. (I admit - I'm obsessed)













I wish I had known:
marriage would take so much work

If I could do it all over again:
I'd do it sober

The worst idea I've ever had:
writing my blog as if no one I knew was reading

The smartest woman I know:
My sister. So freaking Mensa-like smart. Plus she's a librarian. So she pretty much KNOWS. EVERYTHING.
