Me, Acrostically Speaking

A lmost always late (unless it’s for a movie); N ight owl though I am, I love the sun. D imples when I smile; to dance or drive a ragtop are two things I find groovy. R ational and “real,” I tell it like it is to everyone. E xuberant at carnivals or joking with someone; A ware of all my flaws, and one of them is having too much fun! D iligent and dedicated - words that well describe me. I n things I love to do, I give my all. E nglish is my forte. I’ve taught since 1983. T hankfulness I feel, though now at 56, my bones could use an overhaul! R egret I rarely feel. Most things I do - I know I’d do again. I ntolerance, injustice and ignorance I hate to see. C onscientious since a child I’ve always been. H appy, kind, forgiving, and easy-going. Now you know more about me. Written by Andrea Dietrich for kristen bruni's contest: "Love Me Why?"

Were people still saying "groovy" in 2011? I guess you and I were (Feelin' Groovey being one of my favorite guitar songs)! You really excel at these "bio" poems. You are that wonderful combination of humble and confident in sharing your flaws and strengths, without false modesty or hubris. p.s. I love when people own their age and are not afraid to put it out there in public! Hugs ~ John

oh wow, it was neat to review this one again after you mentioned seeing it. It allowed me to say more of the things I could not get into Dear Heart's recent modified bio contest!

Love this and we get to know you a little more because of it. I just wrote my first Acrostic today. I'm trying a bunch of the different styles as I've always written from the Heart. I didn't know there were styles before PS. It's fun stretching my legs and reading this helps me push myself as I'm lagging behind for sure. Your work is beautiful!

The incentive comes from being single and wanting to wear a swimsuit without having to cover it up with a T-shirt. LOL

The V-8, Cheerios and weightlifting are helping, Andrea! I can't wait to see how I look in a couple months. I'll probably still feel chubby at the end of May when I go to the Keys for the charter fishing cruise, but it'll be better than I was three weeks ago. A friend challenged me and said I would never lose all the weight I wanted to shed. Bad move. Challenges like that make me more determined. Love, Carolyn
