Odd things about me.

Got a survey from my sister-- the blog has been kind of dry lately, so I thought I would enlighten you with these fun facts.

1. Do you like blue cheese? Yes. I especially LOVE the hot blue chips at The Loop. Serious yum. (FYI-- They don't taste like blue cheese dressing, so you should give them a shot even if you don't like bc dressing...)

2. Have you ever smoked? One time I tried a cigarette and thought I'd puke.

3. Do you own a gun? No, but not morally opposed to them. I would like to own one when we live in Haiti, but that apparently isn't getting the blessing of the ministry (for some logical reasons), so I most likely will not.

4. What flavor Kool-Aid was your favorite? Cherry.

5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Only at the "weigh in."

6. What do you think of hot dogs? Love em, but I have a strong preference for all beef.

7. Favorite Christmas movie? Hmmmm. Hard question. Probably "It's a Wonderful Life." (Nick has won me to his side...)
