I’m trying to disconnect this week while I’m home with my family so you’ll be hearing less from my on Twitter and Facebook, but I have lots of blog post ideas for each early morning while my parents are asleep. We had torrential rain yesterday which meant most of our day was spent reading and relaxing on my parents’ screened in porch. 
During our flight this weekend I had a chance to catch up on blog reading. One of my favorite posts I read was Tina’s fun 25 Things You (Probably) Don’t Know About Me. Even though we’ve been friends in real life for quite a few years now, it was fun to learn a few new random facts! It inspired me to do a similar post for you guys, featuring 20 things you may not know about me!
1. I’m an emotional and very sensitive person.
2. I do not like any melons- watermelon, honeydew, & cantaloupe.
3. I have the nose of a bloodhound. In fact, maybe that is what I was in a past life.
4. I sprawl out across the entire bed, whether it’s a twin size bed or king size bed. God bless Bo, who has to deal with this habit on a nightly basis.
5. I am exceedingly flexible due to years of dance at an early age.
6. I’ve been to every US state except Alaska.
7. I once slept in a sleeping bag and tent for 56 straight nights.
8. I am scared of heights when it comes to diving boards, roller coasters, etc. In fact, I have never made it off of a diving board higher than 1 meter.
9. I have very neat handwriting and still prefer the written word to the typed word.
10. My favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast.
11. My first car was a stick shift 1986 Honda Accord. Unfortunately, I failed to yield on a left hand turn within days of getting my driver’s license and wrecked that car.
12. Until October of senior year in high school, I wanted to to be a pediatrician.
13. My first-official job was writing for Savannah Morning News.
14. I have no musical ability, in fact, I am tone deaf.
15. My first kiss was when I was 16 years old, and I am still, to this day, friends with a guy on Facebook.
16. I studied abroad in Cadiz, Spain the Summer of 2004.
17. I have watched Grey’s Anatomy since the first season, when my sorority sisters and I would watch it from our living room couch together each week.
18. Even though I know it is horrible for me, I still drink 3-4 Coke Zero or Diet Cokes each week around 3pm. If that’s my worst vice, I think I’m doing pretty well in life.
19. If I could take a few foods with me on an island it would be Bo’s Guacamole with Xochitl tortilla chips, bananas, my mom’s salted chocolate chip cookies, Diet Coke, and Whole Foods salted Almond Butter. Clearly I wouldn’t live that long.
20. My “happy place” is being on or near the water with friends or family.
What is a random fact that most of your friends don’t know?
amazing friends and role models both in New York City and across the country.
