So here we go…..

1. I’m slightly obsessed with Food Network. I love to watch people cook!

2. I haven’t ridden a bike since the 6th grade.

3. I’m afraid of the dark. When my husband away on business I sleep with all the lights in the house ON.

4. I wear socks about 4 times a year. I hate hot feet.

5. Citrus is one of my favorite smells.

6. I want to learn how to container garden. I hope to grow tomatoes and cucumbers this summer.

7. I’ve never eaten sushi.

I tag…anyone who wants to participate! (ok…that’s cheesey. How about Leftover Queen, Omaha Mama, Julia, Kathy, Kath, Mommy’s Kitchen and Peanut Butter Boy).
