11 Random Things:

1. My first job was at Baskin Robbins. People would tell me that my scooping arm would end up being larger than my other arm long after I quit working there. My left arm is definitely still bigger than the right!
2. I ended up with a concussion working at desk job (this takes skill people). This was my first job out of college. Needless to say I strongly disliked that job!
3. I was a cheerleader for 5 years…3 on a competitive squad.
4. A few days ago I found a pair of shorts from junior high. I put them on and they still fit! (I’m 27 now).
5. I love online shopping. It’s a serious addiction.
6. I cannot visit public pools…despite all the chlorine…they gross me out! This summer is the first time my parents haven’t had a pool. They moved and are finally without a pool. Needless to say, I haven’t gone swimming at all this summer!
7. I think I’m a closet country music fan. I’ve always said how much I’ve hated it so when I started to like it…I only listen to it in the car when I’m alone. Although, I’ve occasionally been busted for forgetting to change the station when someone else gets in the car!
8. I’ve never drank a beer. I’ve had a sip of my beer and that is it. I can’t stand the taste!
9. I despise the flavor grape. Anything grape reminds me of the children’s Tyenol my parents used to give me when I didn’t feel good as a child.
10. I’m a huge sports fan (football, hockey and baseball)…I can out talk the guys in sports a lot of times!
11. I’m extremely critical when it comes to editing. I’ve edited numerous friends and co-workers resumes before. I actually made a 20 some year old guy cry. Oops!
