The I List is Growing

This is a fun way to end the year - with an "I" list. For all the Iowa bloggers. Several of us have been posting lists of Iowa bloggers during the past year, but Drew McLellan (and Mike Sansone) turned it into The I List. What a great idea!

I've added a few links to sites that you might be interested in checking out: SmartPestSolutions | Around Des Moines | Association for Women in Communications DSM Alliance | Enroute365 | Essential Estrogen | This Ain't No Spin Class

Go ahead, add any Iowa blogger links that are missing, grab the code and post it on your blog.

Here's the list with my additions.

The Starbucker Meme! What's in Your Glass?

Have you participated in a meme lately? It's been awhile and I thought it was time to come out and play today.

Starbucker started this meme back in June called "What's in Your Glass (The Starbucker Meme)". I wanted to take this opportunity to contribute. When you get a chance, browse through the submissions. They make for excellent reading!

The Questions:

1. How full is your glass?
2. What kind of glass is it?
3. What's in the glass?
4. Reasons for #1, #2, and #3

My Answers:

1. My glass is filled to the rim and almost overflowing, just like my life.
2. It's a Ball canning jar - you know, the kind they use to preserve fruits and veggies (see the picture below).
3. It's filled with water - and when it's really hot - there's some ice, too.
4. I picked a canning jar because it reminds me to get back to basics and take care of myself. It's sturdy, stable, doesn't tip easily, and if it breaks I can replace it easily. It's also a great size (1 pint) that I fill full and then have a good idea of how many cups of water I am drinking each day.
