Eight random facts about myself...um. Well, here they are!

1. I'm very afraid of heights, which some people find ironic because I'm tall.

2. To go along with that fear of heights, I get motion sickness. Elevators, airplanes and backseats of cars are not my favorite places to be. And for a good story about a boat ride, ask my sister about out trip to Nova Scotia...it wasn't pretty.

3. I love to work puzzles! I inherited this gift from my Mom who loves them just as much. For me, there is nothing more enjoyable than working a 1,000 piece puzzle on a cold snowy day...

4. ...unless it's the cold, snowy day itself! Winter is my favorite time of the year. Again, I love sled riding, snow shoveling and the quiet in the early morning after a snowfall. I'm a homebody and a foot of snow gives me a reason to stay inside (and work puzzles)!

5. I am scared of the Loch Ness Monster...I can't even justify OR explain that one. It still scares me even today if I think about it while I'm on a boat or in deep water. Though at least I never had to be scared of him coming out from under my bed. (No laughing please)

6. I'd take a piece of pie over a piece of cake any day of the week. Though if cake was all that was offered... I especially love pie that either my Mom or Jean Vacha made.

7. I love Star Wars and have about 150 action figures that are just waiting for my nephew to grow up and enjoy them. I got into collecting them after college and I regretted selling my small collection from when I was a kid. No, I don't have them decorating my home, or have them out on display! They're stored in the attic, waiting for Carson, or Andrew West to come over.

8. For the last random thing, I LOVE to read. I read all the time. I'd buy a new book over buying food any day of the week. I used to read while delivering newspapers. I read at red lights, while drying my hair, and during TV commercials. I love recorded books too! In fact, that's why I bought a MP3 player last year...to download books from the Internet. And I read fast! I made it though the last Harry Potter book in just under 9.5 hours.

I'm tagging Gordo, Sue Kauffman and Tina Lawver. Let's see your answers guys!
