For a break from the Christmas Cards, here is a list of five things. (I was tagged by the awesome Frizz)

1. I had a poem published in a school anthology when I was in middle school. My excitement turned to disappointment when I saw that a last line had been added. I wowed my english teacher by writing it on my first day of class. It was about little sisters and the opening line was something like, " brats, rats why do we love them so? " I have recently tried to recapture that writing mojo.

2. I'm not a very good cook. I have a few recipes I rock but trying something new just isn't my thing. (I can make decent pies though) This doesn't mean I don't try. My poor suffering husband.

3. I love learning. About new places, things, whatever. That's one reason I dig my day job as an afterschool enrichment teacher. The program is about creating things based on different places in the world. (I love doing the research)

4. I can eat my weight in chips and dip. Truly.

5. Most days you will find me in yoga pants and a tee but, one day, I really want to go to a fancy party one day so I can but a super frilly, fancy gown and be the belle of the ball.
