Someone challenged me to try to write a list of 100 things about myself... seriously harder than you think it would be. So here's my list:

6) I love numbers... they make sense to me
7) I just got into Sudoku, but now I can't stop - brings me back to number 7!
8) As a little girl I totally wiped out on my bike. I was on a gravel road with fresh gravel and the bike went out from under me. I road home with my knees and elbows totally dripping in blood... I still have a major scar on my elbow from it!
