11 Random Facts about ME!

2. My sophomore year of college I lived in an apartment and ate PB & J almost everyday that year = poor college student. (but I hated it in elementary school)
3. My senior year of college you could find me in the Cafeteria at 12:00 noon, every week day eating Pesto Pasta with Sausage. (sometimes I even went back for it for dinner)
4. I hate take a while to jump into a pool (you know don't want to get my hairs wet since I spent 20 minutes straightening them) but my favorite class in college was my Triathlon class and you guessed it the swimming part was my fave!
 5. Math is not my strong point (especially division) you should see me try to half a recipe!
 6. When getting pregnant became a difficult task I gave up coffee (I used to have like 3 ventis a day) for 2 1/2 years. [now I drink coffee on the daily]
7. I am 5 ft tall and its one of my most favorite things.

11.  I don't like manicures but LOVE pedicures.

11 Questions from Sarah!

1. If you were a super hero what powers would you have? funny story.  I was talking to one of my students about this a couple weeks ago.  I would love to teleport (I called it apparition because I am a Harry Potter nerd)

2. If you could breed two animals together to defy the laws of nature what new animal would you create? A liger (for all my Napoleon Dynamite fans) no seriously I think that a flying giraffe would be pretty cool.

3. What historical figure would you love to see in 21st century life? Abraham Lincoln is one of my all time fave people, so probably him.

4. What phrase do you say the most? Yeah. is that even a phrase?

5. If you could steal one thing without consequence what would it be? a baby. ok that is a little freaky but all my mamas with infertility know what I am talking about.  So in actuality, umm I really have no idea.

6. What is your favorite thing about yourself (physical or otherwise?) well I already mentioned that I love being short, so other than that - I think I have pretty swell feet.

7. If you could live anywhere, where would that be? on a 20 + acre farm, with a fantastically authentic refurbished early 1900's farm house (that is about 2,500 sq ft) and several barns with a covered arena.

8. If you were crowned ruler of the world, what's the first law you would make? I can't make it a law for everyone to accept each other but I would love to get rid of all the preservatives in our food and chemicals/fertilizers. Basically I would make everyone Recycle and Reuse and to take care of our beautiful earth.  NO MORE WASTE!

9. What's the most unusual conversation you've ever had? I basically have these daily with my students.  Not sure if I can pick out one in specific.

10. What is the best present you've ever received? is it cliche that I say Ellie? if I can't say Ellie then I would have to say my first big horse, Jazz.  He will be 29 this year, he still lives with us and I love him so much.  He got me through some serious times in my life and has been a staple for over half of my life.

11. Would you rather go back in time and meet your ancestors, or travel into the future and meet your great grandchildren? This is a toughy.  jeepers.  I would have to say to go back in time.  I love the Victorian and Edwardian era's so it would be so fascinating to really get to see how people lived back then and to meet the people from where I came from.
