A Little About Me

Often those little surveys are passed around on Facebook or on email asking you random questions about yourself so that others can better know you. Sometimes they are ridiculous and sometimes they are rather intriguing. There are only so many times I wish to tell people that I prefer my toilet paper to go over and not under on the dispenser, though. In any case, I thought it would be beneficial to let some of you know randomness about me.

Here are things that are most commonly known about me.

1. I love, LOVE, love peanut butter, but I hate peanuts...well, I hate most all nuts.
