1. I grew up outside of Philadephia, the land of grease-dripping cheesesteaks with 3 bars and 3 churches on every block. Oh, and really good chinese food. With duck sauce.
2. When I first moved to El Paso, I thought tumbleweeds were incredibly cool. After 3 years they no longer impress me, and I can't wait to get back to the world of GREEN plants.
3. If I drink more than 2 sodas a day I get ocular migraines. (I see strange flashing distortions in one eye.)
4. My house is well-organized, but always a mess and sometimes downright dirty.
5. I love to play Literati. I used to have an impressive rating until I lost over 20 games in a row.
6. I've written one and a half (probably) unpublishable novels and never tried to sell them.
7. My favorite book of all time is Tom Robbins' Jitterbug Perfume.
8. I am a former US Marine, but you would never, ever guess that from looking at me.
9. I have 2 tattoos, both from my Marine Corps days. Most of the time I am embarrassed of them.
10. I dress like a casual nerd.
11. At first glance I look at least 10 years younger than I really am.
12. My hair stops only 2 1/2 inches shy of my waist.
13. I have been described as "intimidating" even though I am only 5 foot 1.
14. My eyes are the exact color of the canals of Venice...on a really cloudy day.
15. When we lived in Germany my Dodo got so horribly carsick we never got to see this.
16. I almost always hide how smart I really am, and I never volunteer information about how smart my kids are in the real world since it sometimes makes people freak out. I never, ever mention the word "gifted".
17. Homeschooling was the best decision I ever made. We love it.
18. If I had a different husband I'd probably have lots more kids.
19. I'd secretly like to become Jewish.
20. I am a good cook, but a lousy baker. My cakes taste fine but they always come out slanted.
