Whether you wanted to or not... I got tagged to share sixteen random or little-known facts about me. So if you *don't* wanna know, stop reading now.

1. I like Greek salad and feta cheese, but not olives of any kind.
2. Before the age of 16, the longest amount of time we lived in one place was 3 years.
3. My dream at age 9 was to be a paratrooper... and I'm still afraid of heights!
4. I could count to 5 in 6 languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Mongolian) but my Mongolian is a little rusty.
5. I love the smell of Lebanon bologna (among other things!).
6. There is a twelve-year age gap between me and my youngest sibling.
7. I live in the South, but love cold weather, which pretty much never happens here! Go figure. =P
8. The last book I read was The Day After He Left for Iraq, by Melissa Seligman. Beautifully written, honest look @ what deployment feels like to those left behind. Yes, I'm still an Army brat... and grateful that we never had to deal with a separation like that.
9. All of our dogs (that I remember) have been scared of thunderstorms. The current one loves blankets and pillows to lay on, lettuce, carrots, apples, and popcorn!
10. I love snowmen. Is this a symptom of winter withdrawal?
11. My three favorite scrapbookers are Ali Edwards, Stacy Julian, and Cathy Zielske.
12. I love photography, and want a DSLR really really bad! Definitely on the list for this year...
13. I am good at biting off more than I can chew. =P
14. Around 6th grade, Mom decided I no longer needed spelling lessons, I was proficient enough already.
15. I love creative stuff, and pretty much everything crafty, but I don't knit (very well, at least).
16. I lived in Germany for six years, and would go back in a heartbeat!!!!

So there. It's done. Actually, it was harder than I thought it would be... but not bad, either. If you feel inspired to create your own list, go for it!
 

they make me happy! =)
