Random Facts

I've been tagged by my friend Colette...which means that I am supposed to post 8 random facts about myself on my blog. So here goes...

1. I have a shoe problem. Whenever I sit down, or sometimes even slow down, my shoes come off. You'll find pairs of shoes under the kitchen table, by the couch, by the front door, on the steps. In fact, if I am driving for more than 15 minutes, I'm usually barefoot in my car as well.

2. I don't sleep "on" a pillow. I do use a pillow, but I scrunch it up against the side of my face...it's not actually under my head. Weird, I know!

3. I'm a sucker for flowers. I love all the colors and types and shapes. They instantly brighten my mood. As a little girl I had my own room in our family's barn for arranging flowers. I often buy flowers for myself...and I can't wait to have a beautiful garden to learn to grow them. In fact, I think the perfect job would be to own a flower shop and deliver flowers. Everyone loves to see the flower delivery person!

4. My favorite pen color is blue. I "red line" documents with a blue pen! Red just seems so harsh and teacher like...black blends in and seems too formal...so blue it is.

5. I love Italian sausage - If I'm in a restaurant, and there's an item with Italian sausage in it, I'm very likely to order it.

6. I don't consider myself a picky eater, but I don't like bananas or raisins or ketchup or miracle whip or blue raspberry flavored foods or slimy eggs (over-hard please!) or pickles in my potato salad or ...hmmm, that's all I can think of right now.

7. I am a data hound. I like spreadsheets, getting to the bottom of tons of confusing data, and helping draw conclusions. There's nothing I like to do better than playing with lots of data, making charts and graphs, and demonstrating trends, etc all day long. Call me a nerd!

8. I've only lived in 2 towns in my entire 30 years of life: Billings or Spokane. I actually just realized this and was rather surprised.

Ok...enough about me...
