10 Fun Facts About Me



I've had this blog for awhile now, and though I talk about pretty personal stuff about my kids on this blog--it's a mommy blog gosh darnit--I've never talked too much about me. So I'll share with you 10 "fun" facts-that depends on how you define "fun."

1. I'm short, like really, really short-just shy of five feet y'all.

2. I'm not a fan of chocolate cake. I'll eat it if I have to, but I definitely need to be in the mood to eat it. But I love chocolate.

you still following?

3. I love words. I like funky-spelled, funky-sounding ones. My favorite word is "deoxyribonucleic." 

4. Originally I was an English major (my parents ballyhooed that choice big time--hmm, well whaddaya know, I'm writing now. Let this be a lesson to us parents now and future ones--Let your children follow their passion--gosh I hope I remember that when it's time), then became a Biology major, then decided that neither of those were really making me happy, so I became an Economics major with a minor in Psychology. Yes, I'm a deeply introspective person, can't you tell? 

5. I hiked up to the top of Half Dome and back in Yosemite Valley in one day (on my second attempt) with Mr. Fliz. Once I got up there, one of the first things I said to him was, "If we ever get married and have kids, you can do this with them, while I stay down below and cheer you guys on." Then he got down on one knee and proposed. Guess I'll be going up again. 

6. I'm pretty fast at reading books. I can be working my way through 2 to 3 books at a time. 

7. I really love to travel. I hate packing. 

8. I collect spores, molds, and fungus. PSYCH! I have a great sense of humor. 

9. I laugh at my own jokes. See #8.

10. I believe in ghosts.
