10 Things About Me...I was tagged by Sara

1. I can do this very strange clover-leaf-thing with my tongue. Sorry for the possibly disturbing image...yikes, my nose looks enormous!

2. I have quite the knack for breaking my toes. This is especially surprising, given how graceful I am (please note that this last statement is DRIPPING with sarcasm).

3.) I really don't watch a lot of TV, but have become addicted to "Make Me A Supermodel". I can't believe that I have just admitted this.

4.) If you know me, you know that I love to bake. I make the best cookies in the world. This is not an exaggeration, or me just talking myself up. I do make the best cookies in the world. Really.

5.) I love doing anything craftsy. I adore sewing. I have fun knitting. I enjoy scrapbooking (although I rarely find the time to do it). I get a kick out of making jewelry. I LOVE to make things. I truly believe, upon seeing something in a store or craft fair, that I can do it better. I should get off my high horse.

6.) I dream of having a cute little sandwich shop/bakery.

7.) I am fairly shy, and have been in my comfortable bubble for quite a while, and so have decided within this past year, to step out of this comfort zone, and have done a few things. I have become a demonstrator for Uppercase Living (mostly to meet new people). And, I have just accepted a great opportunity and have taken a new job at Staple & Spice Market (a health food store), and will be leaving Someone's In the Kitchen, where I began working 10 years ago!

8.) I was a French major in college, and planned to minor in Russian (didn't happen). I also studied German for a year, and have learned a decent amount of Spanish on my own. I love languages, and regularly speak to my kids in French. I also read them books in French at night.

9.) My senior year in high school was bad. School wasn't bad, everything with me was bad. I was in "West Side Story" for our spring musical, which was right around prom. I was a Shark girl, and, along with the other Shark girls, thought that it would be a great idea to self-tan before the play, so we would look Puerto Rican. We looked orange. Plus, for prom, I had 2 dates. Believe it or not, that wasn't a fun time. Ugh.

10.) I find a strange satisfaction in ironing. It's very soothing and relaxing. PLUS, there really is nothing as wonderful as freshly-laundered and ironed pillowcases. I am weird.

Tag! You're it:
Amanda-my sister, the "good" sister
Amy-my sister, the "rebel" sister
