| | I've been tagged. Grace got me. And I have to confess, when I think of "tag," I am immediately reminded of that fabulous scene in Dumb & Dumber where Lloyd and Harry are playing their intensely competitive game of tag in the van: "You can't triple stamp a double stamp! You can't triple stamp a double stamp! Lloyd!" To some people, "tag" is an elementary school playground; to me, it's pure cinematic genius.
So maybe that should be Item #1 in my list of 10 things you may not know about me (but probably do):
1. Name any scene from Dumb & Dumber and I could probably quote it, thanks to countless viewings during the summer after seventh grade. And many more since. (Wow, was that really 13 years ago?!)
2. I have never broken a bone and never been stung by a bee. But...
3. I have three huge fears in life: bees, surgery, and serial killers.
4. In kindergarten and first grade, I won blue ribbons for having the neatest handwriting in my class.
5. I have never watched an episode of Sesame Street.
6. Around age 9 or 10, I was crazy about The Babysitter's Club books (and movies and games...). I even wrote a letter to Ann M. Martin for a third-grade project. I wanted to be just like Stacy McGill. One of my proudest accomplishments was the afternoon I sat down with a new book and read it cover to cover over the next two hours.
7. One of my life goals is to be fluent in Spanish. I have a ways to go.
8. In high school my best friend and I agreed on one specific stipulation for our future husbands--they had to be 6'5''. I wanted a tall and skinny guy; Cassie preferred the beefy variety. Soon after I met Jeff, I learned that he is 6'5''. And there was no turning back.
9. In high school I played first violin for the ALPPs quartet, named for our last names: Austin, Luke, Peters, and Peck.
10. Growing up, I never traveled much outside the Midwest, except for one trip to Florida when I was four. Then I visited Mexico twice during high school. At age 19, I got on a plane for the first time ever and flew to Turkey. I have now been to both coasts, five foreign countries, and lived in Canada.
And that's my story.
