Which is probably more than what you’d care to know about me! I once did a 100 things about me on an old blog … back in 2001, but yeah, that’s way too much information. *laughs*
1. I sleep with a baby blanket. I have since I was a kid. My grandpop used to tease me that I was going to take the blankie on my honeymoon, well, guess what? I did. I sleep with it on my ear and draped over my eyes (sleeping masks hurt my head) so I don’t have problems with lucid dreaming. I cannot sleep without it and will get a shirt, towel, pillowcase if I don’t have it.
2. I eat applesauce with almost every dinner. Not with pizza or tacos. But pretty much everything else.
3. I have a lot of phobias, including: the dark, elevators, heights, bridges, flying and shopping malls. (And more, but I won’t list all of them – lol)
4. My favorite color is blue, but if you ask Jack he’ll tell you it’s pink.
5. I love the ocean ~ especially the shores of Florida where the sands are like powdered sugar.
6. I love to color, even if no one colors with me. Jack and I used to color together when we were dating in college. I was voted best colorer in my family. I learned from my mom.
7. I collect (or want to collect) gnomes, nutcrackers and Stormtroopers.
8. I love making photo manipulations ~ but haven’t done so in quite some time. Here is a sample:

9. I am fluent in sarcasm.
10. I am fascinated with history, especially English history. And French. Being related to the 1st Earl of Norfolk makes it all the better. I love medieval up to 19th century. Favorites include: Tudors, Stuarts, French Revolution, Regency and Victorian. I also love the Gilded Age of New York ~ early 1900s and Colonial America.
11. Autumn is my favorite season. October is my favorite month (quite possibly because it contains my birth date!)
12. Beets are my absolute favorite vegetable (and pretty much the only vegetable I like).
13. I love SpongeBob and randomly quote lines from the show on a regular basis. Everything in life can relate to SpongeBob. Really.
14. I haven’t had popcorn in about 10 years. My body rejects it horribly everytime I eat it.
15. I suck at math; on an epic scale. They placed me in a Basic Math class in college, which basically is 3rd grade math. I did get an A in that class though. 
16. I like Big Time Rush.
17. I love trees. Birch, Aspen and Palm are favorites.
18. (Are you bored yet? This is taking me a really long time! Apparently, I’m not really all that interesting!)
19. I was suspended from gym class in the 10th grade for smacking a boy. In my defense, he was saying really nasty things to me because I sucked at volleyball. I told him to shut up and he said, “make me” … so I smacked him. He smacked me back! I was more stunned than hurt. We were both suspended for 2 days and that helped develop my extreme hatred of volleyball.
20. When I was little I wanted to be a ballerina or a figure skater. I had one ballet class and was a snowflake in Sleeping Beauty (I think? Maybe it was Cinderella – hey, I was 7). But I have never been ice skating. I always wanted to skate pairs in the Olympics.
21. I can swallow 11 pills at once. (Yes, it was because I was taking a bunch of vitamins at the same time).
22. I love 80s new wave music ~ Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, New Order, The Cure, etc.
23. I love the Legend of Zelda games. My favorite is Ocarina of Time. The only one I’ve ever actually played is A Link to the Past on the gameboy. But I love watching my kids play and the music is beyond awesome. Thank you, Koji Kondo!
24. I’m a little on the intolerant side. (noise, crowds, doctors, etc.) My mom says I get it from my Gram. 
25. My favorite book of the Bible is Job.
26. I use the word “dude” too much, I blame Jack and the kids.
27. I have been to 33 of our 50 states.
28. My favorite movie of all time is The Princess Bride. I’ve seen it more times than I can count. But I do love quoting from Monty Python & The Holy Grail better. (You’ve got NO ARMS!)
29. I like a wide variety of music, but do not like country or rap.
30. I won a burping contest my freshman year in college. I can belch like a man. *grins*
Wow, that was incredibly difficult. It took me an hour and a half to come up with those 30 simple things! Now you have more information than you could ever want about me. Trust me, there isn’t much more.
