30 Little Things : 8 : 15 Facts about me

1. I’m 5’7″ (I always assume other people from inside the computer are also 5’7″-ish, so I’m surprised when I find out some ladies are almost 6-feet tall or, alternatively, little minis.)

2. We receive five magazine subscriptions at our house: Us Weekly, Allure, Better Homes & Gardens, Automobile, and Motor Trend.

3. I’ve had four last names.

4. I wear a size 8 or 8 1/2 shoe, which means I can almost never find my size.

5. My middle name is Michal.

6. I will eat anything (ANYTHING) except mayonnaise (and even that I do sometimes eat…Tuna fish sandwiches, ranch dressing, etc.)

7. I can’t drive a stick shift. Which is fine, as I hate driving anyway.

8. When I was a kid, my mom made me watch the adrenaline shot scene from “Pulp Fiction,” to dissuade me from doing drugs. Well, I never snorted heroin, so I guess it worked.

9. I like all kinds of music, INCLUDING country. Alan Jackson is a fave (“Where I come from, we like the girls that sing soprano.”)

10. I’m an only child…An only child with three brothers-in-law and three half-siblings…But still an only child. (And proud to be one!)

11. I drive 70 miles roundtrip to work every day.

12. I always confuse J. Edgar Hoover and G. Gordon Liddy. NOT the same person.

13. I share a birthday with Abraham Lincoln.

14. I’m totally not athletic and yet, I can snowboard and I’ve stood up on a surfboard (in the water, even!) and I’ve run a half marathon.

15. I’ve been using the same pair of Tweezerman tweezers for over 10 years. They really are the best.
