1. Although most people don't believe it, I am adopted. I also consider the people who raised me my REAL mother and father and refer to my birth parents as my egg and sperm donor.
2. I hate strawberries. So much so that I used to tell people I was allergic so that I wouldn't have to explain why I refused to touch them.
3. I have been to more foreign countries than US states. I worked at an orphanage in Romania, rang in Y2K at a castle in Austria, and student taught in New Zeland to name a few...
4. I LOVE to sing. My biggest musical regret is that no one recorded my senior broadway recital...I had never sung that well before, nor have I since.
5. I am overly committed to my students. Most take up permanent residency in my heart, and I will show them my love and support in whatever way I possibly can...even when they have left my classroom.
6. I am addicted to cheese. A friend and I once easily polished off a 5 lb block of cheddar cheese in college just because her dad didn't think we could.
7. I have a horrible memory, yet can remember EXACTLY what I was doing the day I received the call that my best friend had passed away. I still miss her...
8. I hate feet. I don't like them touching me and I won't touch yours. You know you're a very special person (or a pedicurist) if I don't cringe if you touch mine.
9. I love to cook, and have quite the collection of cookbooks. I also have several "diet" cookbooks, but I've never actually made it the length said diets were supposed to last...
10. I don't do scary movies...or clowns...and especially not scary movies involving clowns.
11. In our house, Christmas presents come wrapped in brown paper with pretty bows. You also open gifts one at a time, in order, and watch what everyone else receives.
12. I modeled as a child...briefly. I spent my paycheck on a teddy bear that I still sleep with to this day.
13. My close group of girlfriends is referred to as "The Coven." It is apparently my job to plan events and keep everyone's calendars updated...and I am all too happy to do so!
14. I once wore my mom's Looney Tunes jacket while she was out of town. I wasn't allowed to. I put it back EXACTLY the way I found it, but she still knew. She claims no one told her, and to this day won't let me know how she knew...
15. I am absolutely 100% a "Daddy's Girl." I could get him to say yes after mom said no almost every time. Mom was the disciplinarian, but there was no punishment worse than my father uttering the statement "I'm disappointed in you."
16. I love to read...mostly young adult novels or what I refer to as "beach reads." However, I never finished Twilight or Harry Potter.
17. I have never broken a bone, but have had more stitches than I can count.
18. I have OCD tendencies. For example, my closet is organized by season, type of garment, color, and pattern.
19. I played sports when I was very little, but was not athletic in junior high or high school. But I watch them like crazy! Especially the Texas Longhorns, Auburn Tigers, and Chicago Cubs. I don't do basketball though...the screeching noise of shoe on court is like nails to a chalkboard!
20. Purple has always been my favorite color. I had the cutest Osh-Kosh purple overalls when I was a baby. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was the first color I said. And I said it correctly...unlike "lellow"...
