To get to know me a little better, I thought it would be fun to put together some quirky facts all about me.
- I am a teacher, but it’s a second career for me. I have a business degree and started out in community relations and marketing.
- I am a perpetual fourth grader. It’s like the movie Groundhog’s Day. I’ve been going back to a fourth grade classroom every August for almost twenty years!
- Snakes scare me to death. I don’t even want to be in the same vicinity for fear of a chance meeting. And, I always stay clear across the room from my coworker’s class pet. It freaks me out.
- I eat chocolate every.single.day. Preferably dark. That is, when I am not doing Whole30.
- I am a single mom of a 13 year old daughter. She makes me so proud each and every day.
- I have been an on again, off again runner since I was 14. That’s almost 30 years!
- That said, I’ve had many high school, collegiate, and professional accomplishments in the sport.
- My dad tricked me into running a long time ago, but I thought I was born to be a cheerleader. Ha! Not really. I will share more about my running history in a future post.
- I also thought I was an excellent softball player and all I wanted to do was pitch. That didn’t work out too well either. Ironically, my daughter does quite well at the sport. She takes after her mother! 😉
- I have a published recipe in the Runner’s World cookbook.
- I’ve never lived anywhere else other than Bethlehem, PA. Born and raised. High school, college and now.
- I love to travel and have been doing a lot more of it recently. If you look closely in the photo above, you can see the fake snow flurrying around in Malibu.
- My fingers are longer than most men I know.
- Sports that require a ball are not my forte. Hence, that is why I was a runner. Although, I have been known to hit a long and straight golf ball and got a new bag and driver for Christmas.
- Strange things seem to happen to me. They may be completely random, but they sure make life a little more interesting.
- I’ve done some modeling on the side [off and on] for the last 15 years, including stints on QVC, local print ads and commercials.
- I can’t draw to save my life, but I definitely am a creative person.
- One day I would love to become a realtor and buy, remodel, stage and flip houses.
- Sometimes I pretend that I am a famous singer and belt out ballads while driving in my car. Thankfully blue tooth is a thing because hopefully other drivers will assume I am dramatically talking on the phone.
- As a kid, I thought I was hot stuff. Anyone from Wonder Woman to Madonna to Barbie…that was definitely me.
- I am a self proclaimed lover of quirky, indie-type films…preferably the romantic ones.
- I secretly love to write, even though nobody knows that about me. Hopefully this little blog will inspire me to write even more!
So impressed with your blog! I can’t wait to see more!
Thank you! I’d love to have you follow along! 🙂
