THE FACTS...strange or not ~

1. I used to talk in my sleep and I've been sleepwalking on an occasion. I would wake up doing some really random things. The absolute worst was one time I began to climb on a dresser near my bed and then whole thing fell over--including the fish bowl. It was such a mess. I always wonder what could I've been trying to do--climb Mt. Everst!

2. I've been known as the "capital queen". That is someone who knows all 50 states capitals. Impressive, I know. Although, I don't think I can claim to be "capital queen" anymore.

3. I LOVE cookie dough and really any kind of dough (cake batter, brownies, banana bread, you name it and I'll at least give it a try)! I think I may love the cookie dough more than the actual cookie, either that or I'm so stuffed on cookie dough I can't bear to eat one more thing.

4. Once when I was younger I got busted for riding on my 16 yr old neighbors new moped and I hid in a closet (don't ask why). I guess I got tired in there and fell asleep under some blankets, my parents started looking for me and searched everywhere calling my name but I didn't hear them and they ended up calling the police. Eventually one of their friends (who came to help look for me) started going through the blankets in the closet and found me there asleep. I think my parents were both happy to see me alive yet so stinkin' mad they could barely talk to me.

5. My dream vacation is to go on an African safari. I think that would be so awesome!

6. I never remember meeting Alex for the first time. We grew up together and he's always been a part of my life. He's seen me though all the stages of life, including the dorky, awkard junior high stage.

7. I've never colored or bleached my hair. One time (about 5 years ago) I tried to add a few highlights and not one person noticed...therefore I figured I'll save my money and use it on something else...like shoes.

Okay, so I don't know who has done this or not but I don't think I've seen this tag by Annalee, Julie, or Jenny! So I'd love to see what you have to say!
