Teresa K


What is your name?
My Name is Teresa Marie Kulupka

What is your hometown?
I was born in El Paso, Texas, grew up in Elgin IL and currently live in Aurora IL
What is your favorite kind of weather and why?
I love stormy rainy weather, not just rain but actual thunderstorms. I love to watch all the lightning and blustery-ness of it and watching the rain sweep across the lawn and the lightning flash and bolts hit faraway places. I do not like it when there's a possibility of tornadoes as I spend the whole time listening to the weather radio and calculating where we would need to hide in the basement. For some reason I do not have a fear of getting hit by lightning.

If you could send a message that would be delivered to everyone on the planet what would it say?
“Stop fighting, help others and be happy with your life.”
I don’t like to talk about politics, but I do get very down when I think about all the war, violence and death in the world now.
Can I change my answer to: “Everybody STOP IT!”
What is your favorite memory from growing up?
Some of my favorite memories are of both sets of grandparents when I was maybe 4yrs old. This was before they both moved away, one set to Florida the other set to Texas. It's a time when I got to spend a lot of time with them every week (ie: my parents would leave me there all weekend while they did adult things). One of my favorite memories of my Grampa H was spending a warm day on the lawn and Grampa H getting a frozen popsicle for me out of the chest freezer in the garage. My favorite memory of my Gramma J was riding the city bus with her and going to the park.

If you were a baseball player what would be your "At bat" song?
Concrete Blonde’s, Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) . I've loved this song forever and I fancied myself a Goth/Punk in college, so I thought this song was mysterious and fun.
I still love the opening guitar riff, the references to New Orleans and the obvious influence of the Anne Rice vampire novels. I can just picture myself stalking up to bat in a sultry manner looking mean and wearing my knee high doc martens.

Do you have a blog or website that you'd like to plug?
Well of course I do! I co-author http://www.letsblogaboutyou.com with my friend Julie.
I also have a personal blog about my quest to finish the couch to 5k running program at http://wally-bat.blogspot.com

Although I've never met Teresa I've known her for almost ten years. I've been very inspired by her couch to 5k challenge and it's been cool to see her turn into a jock! - Julie H
