1) I am a serious adventure sports junkie. I’ve gone sky diving (twice), bungee jumping, white water sledging (when you go into rapids with essentially a kickboard… gotta love New Zealand), glacier hiking, hang gliding, jet boating, spelunking, scuba diving (got certified on the Great Barrier Reef while studying abroad in Australia!), and probably more things I can’t remember.
2) I once got out of a speeding ticket by telling the officer how badly I needed to pee. (I wasn’t lying!)
3) My hands are always cold. I may or may not be a vampire. Edward, give me a call.
4) I have a birth mark on the bottom of my left foot. Pretty sweet place to have a birthmark. I think it looks like another foot (see? like the little spot on the left is the big toe?). What do you think?
5) I’m a military brat. I’ve probably moved over 15 times in my life (all around the US, and we also lived in Germany and Belgium), and I was born in Kansas. Random, right? Guess that’s why I like traveling so much!
6) I can move both my eyebrows independently of each other. This is a great party trick. I can also wiggle my ears. ![]()
7) I was the typical bossy older sister. I have one younger brother, and once I convinced him to give me all his money ($10… he was quite affluent) just to play my Nintendo for 30 minutes. What can I say? I’m a savvy business woman
(My parents found out, by the way, and made me not only give the money back, but then my dad went out and bought my brother a Super Nintendo. Fail.)

These are so funny! I have a strange birthmark also. It’s on the front of my thigh and it’s shape of a chick footprint. The funny thing is I’ve been a vegetarian for more than half my life!
Aw how cute! Birthmarks are fun
Cool facts! Not only can I wiggle my ears one at a time (or together) and move my eyebrows one at a time, but I can move my eyes independently of each other- it’s genetic and definitely freaks people out.
Haha wow, I’m impressed! Especially with the eyes! You could be an extra in a horror movie with that one, heh.
Hahhahahahahaha! Loving your older sister bossy routine – isn’t that the prerogative of firstborns though? If not, I owe my brother some apologies.
So glad to have stumbled upon your blog via Project Food Blog – really enjoy your writing style & sense of humour!
Ha, absolutely!
Thanks for reading!
