Randomness

It took me far too long to fill this out on Facebook, so I thought it could do double duty.  :)  Things are sort of quieting down here, so I need to get back into the swing of blogging.  

25 Random Things About Me

5.  I say mean things when I get mad, and I frequently hold grudges.  I have trouble holding my tongue.

11.  In my head, I often hear moments in my life set to music.

12.  I am a compulsive list maker, yet a terrible procrastinator.

13.  I had a math minor in college, yet I've never been able to balance a checkbook....and I have difficulty calculating percentage-off sales.

14.  I didn't realize I loved my husband's rottweiler until she died.
