It took me a few weeks, but I finally broke down and joined the millions of Facebook users who narcissistically post their "25 random things". Not that you asked, but here are mine . . .  

1) I eat almond butter, NOT peanut butter

2) I haven't had caffeine or chocolate in about 6 years.

3) My biggest regret in life (I know you're not supposed to live with regrets, but I do) is not majoring in English when I was in college.

4) I was in the Houston Ballet's production of the Nutcracker when I was in 6th grade. I was a clown . . . not much of a stretch.

5) My nickname in middle school was "motor mouth".

6) I stood 5 feet from a monkey in the jungles of Costa Rica.

7) I'm a Yankee - born in Toledo, OH and lived there till I was 8

8) I can shower in less than 2 minutes. If I wash my hair, less than 4.

9) I enjoy a good Duggar episode every now and then.

10) I've only taken one helicopter ride in my life, and I passed out from motion sickness. This was probably my last helicopter ride.

11) I have a brother who is four years older and a sister who is 20 years younger. Guess that makes me the middle child.

12) I've had Botox (for migraines, although vanity was an added perk)

13) I've had a nose job (for a fractured nose, although vanity was an added perk)

14) I never thought Motherhood would be so hard.

15) I never thought I'd live in a small town.

16) If I decide to give up the writing career, I want to become a personal organizer. I get a rush when I clean out closets!

17) I hate sleeping. If I could take a pill and never have to sleep, I would do it. I sleep only out of necessity, not enjoyment.

18) There was a warrant out for my arrest when I was 9 months pregnant with Carter. Let's just say I forgot to turn in some very important speeding ticket paperwork.

19) I once had a migraine for 6 months straight.

20) I constantly de-clutter.

21) I never pay retail.

22) I love tofu (as long as it's firm and not slimy).

23) I wish I lived in NYC (maybe not permanently, but for a season in life)

24) Crow is my favorite yoga pose.

25) I never had a cavity until I got married.
