I am struggling today with something to write. So back to the old stand by. It's better than nothing, right?

25 More (very random) things about me:

1. I try not to judge books by their covers, but often that is how I remember them. People at bookstores run from me.


2. In a college acting class I was told that I was one of the best liars the instructor had ever seen.


3. Really though, I almost never lie.


4. I prefer essay tests to multiple choice.


5. I can remember peeling potatoes at the kitchen table with my grandmother & great-grandmother. I begged to do this chore, even though it usually ended with me cutting my finger.


6. When I was 5, I started cooking at the stove. I used a step stool (shaped like a rabbit) to reach.


7. Part of the reason I stayed in Austin, Texas, was because of Central Market, and amazing grocery store.


8. I miss the Andronico's (grocery) store in Walnut Creek, California.


9. I am making this quiche for dinner this week.


10. I sent a letter to Amy Carter when her father was in office. I got a postcard back.


11. A few years back I went to Jimmy Carter's book signing in Chicago.


12. Around the same time I went to my first Martha Stewart book signing.


13. My favorite drink at Starbucks, is a venti black tea lemonade, sweetened.


14. I am still not used to referring to B as my husband.


15. Because of Twitter, I got to help decorate a Rose Parade float last year.


16. I did a summer abroad program at Pembroke College at Cambridge University.


17. A world without chocolate, would be a terrible place (in my opinion, at least).


18. Despite my love of wrapping paper and ribbon, I am not great at wrapping presents.


19. Before I started Catholic school in the second grade, my dad told me horrible stories about mean nuns. I was so scared, I didn't talk to any of the sisters for at least my first week. I would only nod my head if asked something directly.


20. My favorite color is the green between lime and chartreuse.


21. Although my sister and I were a year apart, we only had the same teacher twice. Once my sister had the teacher before me. That was a nightmare.


22. Because of changing high schools, I missed out on American Literature.


23. I have re-read Alice in Wonderland more than any other book.


24. I wish I had the letters I wrote from camp. They were classic.


25. I am really looking forward to seeing Small World decked out for the holidays.
