Things you didn't know about me
Behold the power of sunscreen - this is how I photograph in daylight, with no flash. (And I will look the same come August, in case you were wondering):
And to continue with a meme that was recently going around the web, here are 10 things you (probably) didn't know about me:
1. Back in the day, my mother was both a prize-winning pianist and a super-fast typist. I've had lessons in neither area, but I type amazingly fast and I bend my fingers up and down and attack the keyboard like I'm playing the piano.
2. Chocolate-covered cherries make me gag.
3. I hate for people to be able to see what books I'm reading, so I always try to hide my book covers when I'm reading in public.
4. I always sit in the back rows of theaters.
5. I cry very easily, especially at emotional movies/TV shows like It's A Wonderful Life or Snoopy, Come Home.
6. I play for blood at Boggle.
7. I will stop the car and jump out to meet someone's puppy on the sidewalk. How most women act around babies, I am around baby animals.
8. I wrecked the first car that I drove four times.
9. My hair has been: red, green, purple, black, white, blonde, yellow, red, orange, and brown. Hey, it's just hair. It'll grow back.
10. I've moved nine times in 13 years. I've actually been through three houses while I've had this one blog. Is it any wonder that I want to stay put for a while?
