high cholesterol

Today, I met my folks for coffee. They took time out of their run to GNC to get Niacin, and Fleet Farm to get bird food, to chat with me for a while. It was lovely.

I love my parents. And I love the wonderful blend of bits of them that I am. For example:

From my Dad, I get my:

• good looks
• high cholesterol
• love of layers, though, he has me beat
• love of saltine crackers and milk
• love of old movies
• gassy reactions to certain foods (sorry, but it's the truth!)
• the love of touch
• intense personality
• talent of lame joke telling, and the love of them as well
• appreciation of order
• love of nature
• love for the silly
• appreciation for coupons, though I'm terrible at using them
• constant need of having music on in the background
• obsession of coffee
• desire to run after the Lord

From my Mom, I get my:

• good looks
• low blood pressure
• giddyness when I'm tired
• love of family
• creative flare
• ability to tune out everything when I'm watching a movie
• love of baking and cooking
• touchy feely-ness
• easy going side
• ability to laugh hysterically for no reason
• love of nature
• love of crab rangoon
• love of Chinese food in general
• fun loving personality
• tender spirit
• smile
• love for the peculiar

Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being you, and rubbing that off on me! Love you both!
