Everything in my neighborhood seems so bleak now that Winter is here. I decided to post a picture I took during Fall to add some color. The streets near mine have the prettiest trees!

I am stealing an idea I saw in Marie's blog. That may not be very creative of me...its just such a good idea I had to do it. So here are ten (very) random facts about me.

1) When I was in first grade, I placed "first runner up" in a beauty pageant. They accidently gave me the winning trophy, and for about a week I thought the judges had changed their minds and placed me the winner instead.

2) I dont eat any kind of fish. I think all of it smells.

3) I bit my fingernails until I was a junior in highschool. A girl I was an office moniter with told me her little sister "got worms" from biting her nails. I stopped biting mine that day, and never have again.

4) I am a WUSS. Im scared of knives, bridges, snakes, spiders. Im scared of big dogs wandering the streets. Im scared of the power going out. Im scared of everything basically.

5) I took French for two years, and I dont remember any of it.

6) When I was little, my favorite band was The Beach Boys, and I listened to their greatest hits record over and over on my Care Bears Record Player.

7) I have a bad habit of getting light headed and passing out. Ive passed out at Six Flags, getting out of bed in the morning, and at the doctors office. I nearly passed out INTO the kitty litter pan one time. Luckily I got myself to the doorway before I fell down.

8) I cant remember the last time I ate a steak, or hamburger. I mainly only eat chicken, and occasionally pork.

9) I love "war" movies. Any movie that is almost three hours long, and has huge battle scenes.

10) When I was growing up, my mom refused to let my brother and I watch MTV. I thought I was being a rebel by sneaking into my room to watch "Singled Out".
