I’ve been writing a lot of serious posts lately, so I thought I’d lighten things up today. I was thinking about how I share some of the most intimate details of my reproductive life on this blog, but not much else about the rest of my life. So, here’s a few things you might not know about me.
1. The first time I met my husband I was on a date… with another guy! I was on a double date with a guy I was dating, my best friend, and her husband. We walked into a restaurant and my best friend goes, “Hey, there’s that guy I’ve been wanting to set you up with!” I was so mortified because I was with another guy. I hid while she went to talk to him. We didn’t actually talk until we met again six months later.
2. Our second meeting wasn’t magical either. In fact, I dumped my husband on our third date. You can read more about our story on Adrie’s blog.
3. I like to crochet. I can’t do really advanced stuff, but I’m pretty proud of this beanie I made myself.
4. I’m a Trekkie. Not of the William Shatner variety; I prefer Patrick Stewart. I grew up watching TNG (if you know what that stands for then you’re a Trekkie, too) and all the series that followed.
5. If I could do anything in the world, I’d be a ballerina. Unfortunately for me, I’m too short and too curvy (not to mention I was a mediocre dancer), but it didn’t stop me from trying when I was younger!

yep, that’s me at 16
6. Reduced Fat Ruffles Potato Chips are my downfall. I’ve been known to take down a whole bag in one sitting. My fantasy is getting them to sponsor my blog and pay me with a lifetime supply of chips. If anyone from Frito-Lay is reading this, call me…
7. I hate popsicle sticks. And tongue depressors. I’d rather get a shot than have the doctor look down my throat. Something about the unfinished wood gives me chills. It’s like scratching nails on a chalkboard. My brother used to torment me by chasing me around the house with wooden spoons.
8. I’ve mentioned on the blog that I’m a school librarian. But I also teach piano lessons. I teach young beginners and currently have six students.

9. I have another blog. Actually two other blogs. I rarely update them. Amateur Nester is my passion and definitely my favorite.
10. I sleep with my eyes open. Not all the way open. More like squinty-open. It freaks people out.
