15 Interesting Facts About Me
I hope these are interesting…..but it’s what I came up with.
1. I use to play roller derby. My derby name was Smack-N-Tiff. (No, I never got in a fight). Now I play softball.
2. I love playing Texas Hold Em. I haven’t played much since having Maggie, but there was a point where I won more playing one year than I did working……yikes!
3. I grew up in a town of 500 people. I am and always will be a small town girl.
4. My parents died when I was 15. I intended to post about that a few weeks ago, but ended up pretty busy and haven’t done that yet.
5. I had a bunch of piercings before I had Maggie. I took them all out before I gave birth and forgot to put them back in. Most of all, I miss my tongue ring!
6. I still have the same best friend I have had since I was 5. I love you Katie!
7. I bow hunt…sometimes….I have yet to shoot anything. The one time I saw something, it was too far away.
8. I love to scrapbook and make my own greeting cards, although I haven’t done much of either since Maggie was born.
9. I’m addicted to crime scene shows and some reality TV…I DVR everything so I don’t waste my precious time on commercials.
10. I have a BA in Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences with minors in Legal Studies and Psychology….simply put….I’m a smart girl (or was, Maggie stole all of my brains).
11. I am a work from home real estate agent. I work very hard for my clients, but don’t put any effort into finding new ones. Before that, I was a teacher. Many different age groups, but I settled on 2 year olds. They were my favorite age to teach!
12. Chocolate covered gummy bears are my favorite treat! And at almost $10 a pound….it’s a good thing I can only get them at the Mall of America which is too far from my house!
13. I love beer. And fishing. And softball. But seriously, I really love beer and I haven’t really had any since I got pregnant with Maggie. I miss beer. She is almost 20 months old!
14. I’m a HUGE Green Bay Packers fan. Some might call it obsessive.
15. I wear flip flops in the winter. Yes, this is interesting…or crazy. We live in Minnesota and it gets cold.
Very interesting cool fun facts! Wow you must have been good at poker! No wonder you love crime shows with that background. My favorite crime show is Criminal Minds well that and NCIS! I wonder if you could have ever been in the BAU?
Oddly enough, that is what I started my Master’s program for….Criminal Psychology. Criminal Minds is by far my favorite! And I might have a small crush on Derek Morgan……
WOW! a town of 500 people! then you must of known EVEYONE! Cool!
Pretty much. Now our cabin is there and I still know pretty much everyone!
I love beer too…especially in the summer! I’d never been a huge beer drinker but got the worst cravings for it when pregnant…now about once a week I will give my girlie a good feeding and then savour a beer…it’s wonderful!
If I’m sitting out on the lake, I definitely want a beer or if I”m playing softball, otherwise, I want it more during football season.
Never tried chocolate covered gummy bears. Sounds interesting!
They are the yummiest…although most people would disagree. There is only one place where I can find the good ones. The rest aren’t very good.
I’m a small town girl too! =)
Yay!
My husband is a Packer fan too!
Woohoo…Go Pack Go!!!
i would freeze to death if i wore flip flops in the winter. michigan isnt the warmest place haha. i swear my body temp is controlled by the temp of my feet, therefor if my feet are cold i’m cold.
I get lots of weird looks. My feet are always hot, but I am trying to wear real shoes in the winter just because I want to set a good example for the little people in my life.
The Packers, Shannon? Really? Other than that a true MN girl!
Haha Bert, Yes. I must have forgot to mention…born and raised in Wisconsin. I will always be a Wisconsin girl!
I have friends back from Illinois who love wearing sandles in the winter.
Its refreshing. Even when its cold out.
