Day 1: 20 random facts about me
During my daily perusal of Pinterest, I came across this blog post called "30 things my kids should know about me", and I felt inspired. I use this blog as a journal of sorts, and lately it has been more about Kate than about me. I have also been having a writer's block of sorts, so the list in the original post will give me topics to write about.
For day one, I will be telling you 20 random things about myself. Here goes nothing...
(1) I have long toes
(2) No matter how many times I've tried to like them, I can't stand fresh tomatoes.
(3) At 5'4", I am the shortest in both my family and Stephan's family.
(4) Steven Sharp Nelson performed at my wedding reception before he became famous. I have the photos to prove it.
(5) I have a relative who fought and died in the Alamo.
(6) I was on the front page of the Daily Herald for trying to learn how to knit. Apparently that was bigger news than the Brian David Mitchell trial.
(7) It seems I did all my exciting traveling before I was two. I'm somewhat bitter about this.
(8) It takes at least 45 minutes to straighten my hair. That's why I never straighten it ;)\
(9) My eyes are two different shapes.
(10) My mom wanted to name me Allegra. I'm not sure I have ever thanked my dad enough for intervening.
(11) Bach is one of my favorite composers.
(12) I love silky fabrics.
(13) My husband and I were each other's first kiss :)
(14) I have a total of 55 first cousins.
(15) I have had eye surgery twice for strabismus
(16) I started violin lessons just before my eleventh birthday.
(17) I don't use a shoulder rest when I play the violin. This is a point of some controversy in the string world.
(18) I have a very good memory (not for useful information, of course). This is both a good and bad thing.
(19) I graduated from college the day before I got married. If you can avoid doing it this way, I would recommend it.
(20) Although I might come off as witty and brilliant in my writing, I am actually very awkward in real life.
