Ten random facts about me
1) I used to spend hours and hours reading Vogue in the library when I was a teen. I wanted to move to NYC and become a fashion designer.
2) I didn't really want to go to college.
3) It took me a year and half longer to graduate than it should have, mostly because of number two. I mean number two on this list, not number two as in I had a pooping problem ( although that is also true).
3) Once I got my head on straight I was good student and loved college. I even made the Dean's List. ( But I did continue to almost poop my pants on a regular basis.)
4) I think talking about poop is kind of funny.
5) At some point in my late teens I wondered if I ever would get married or even if I wanted to. The whole thing seemed really unlikely.
6) I put hot sauce on everything, including pizza and mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. Very tasty. You should try it, especially the mashed potatoes one.
7) I hate walking into a crowded room all by myself.
8) Although I have many friends, I consider myself a loner and am quite nervous in large groups, even if I know everyone. This tends to make me babble and make incessantly sarcastic and dumb comments.
9) I'm most comfortable around my family, both the one I was born into and the one I now live with.
10) I am enjoying becoming older and wiser, but I am not enjoying looking older and wiser.

5) Greg, me and Jane going on vacation to Myrtle Beach with my sister, her husband and their two oldest kids. Yes, this is the same vacation where we got in the IHOP fight, but the week that ensued has provided us years and years of laughter.
