ELEVEN THINGS ABOUT YOU:

1. I am obsessed with how good my handwriting is, it is one of my favorite things about myself.

2. When we were kids, my sister & I told my little brother that we also had a big brother named Jeff who he had never met because he had been away at college. My brother would go from room to room asking if anyone had seen Jeff. My parents, thinking he was going through an imaginary friend stage would play along and tell him that they had just seen "Jeff" somewhere else in the house. This went on for some time.

3. I love animals, but not in a crazy way. (No where close to being a vegetarian, I also love me some steak and Chick-fil-a). But I have always loved being around animals & don't get grossed out by them like some members of my family do.

4. I hate raw tomatoes, but like both ketchup & salsa. Don't try to figure it out or argue it with me.

5. I secretly watch and record every episode of Antiques Roadshow.

6. Want to go to Africa, Australia, Paris, London, Ireland, Greece, Israel, China, Egypt, Brazil, and lots of other places. I pretty much would like to go anywhere BUT Las Vegas. I have zero desire to go there.

7. I'm pretty easy going.

8. When I was little I thought that my stuffed animals were alive and would take revenge on me if I didn't treat them all equally. I lived in fear of them for quite some time.

9. I read a lot.

10. I love dancing in my car when I'm by myself. Also, dancing in my apartment by myself. Sometimes I will have a dance party all alone in my pajamas. One good thing about living alone :)
