Happy Birthday, Beautiful Girl!
Happy Birthday, Beautiful Girl!

You’ve all seen the Facebook Meme, 25 Things about me, right?  Well, today is Maya’s 13th birthday, so in her honor, I thought I’d take a stab at 25 Things About Maya for you.

  1. As you can see in the photo, she’s absolutely gorgeous.
  2. She’s a loyal friend.
  3. She loves the group, Paramore, and all things Twilight.
  4. She loves her iPod.
  5. She’s generous.  She offered to give me her Target gift card when I mentioned that I liked a top there, but new clothes weren’t in my budget.
  6. She’s kind.  She doesn’t let this get in the way of her wicked sense of humor.
  7. She volunteers at a local animal shelter, helping to socialize the cats so they are adoptable.
  8. She hates beets.  She gets that from Ted.
  9. She is good at French.  Don’t know where she gets that.
  10. She loves to read.
  11. She loves history as well.
  12. She looks great in red.
  13. She likes camping.  That’s where she was with her girl scout troop this weekend.
  14. She doesn’t like hiking much.  She gets hot.  She gets that from me.
  15. But she does like hiking in Forest Park, in Portland, because it’s nice and cool.  We can walk for hours in that park.
  16. She’s a wonderful swimmer.
  17. This year finds her much more interested in hairdos, clothes, and skin care than previous years.  Welcome to the teens!
  18. She loves chocolate.
  19. Favorite ice cream: World Class Chocolate, from Baskin Robbins.
  20. She loves tuna tartare.  I like to picture her out on a date with some poor guy, ordering the tuna tartare and making him feel like a bumpkin.  Of course, maybe she’ll date guys with similar likes someday.
  21. She likes salad and broccoli, but the only way she likes green beans is with Gorgonzola and walnuts.  They are pretty good that way, I must admit.
  22. She’s learning the value of jeans and a cute top as a way to stretch out a wardrobe.
  23. She LOVES Battlestar Galactica.  Obsessed is probably a better word.  I think her world got a little bit darker last week when it ended.
  24. She still likes Walking With Dinosaurs, et al, even after all these years.
  25. She’s the best thing that ever happened to Ted and me.  We love her very much, and wish her a VERY happy birthday.
