3) I pass out at the sight of my own blood (and I was an R.N. in my earlier days!)
4) We lived in an old house (built in 1920) for several years in Northield, MN. It was adorable, just not alwys practical
5) My daughters, Kate and Kelly are only 21 months apart and they both have red hair!
6) My first car was a 1987 Honda Accord that I paid for on my own, with cash I earned as a babysitter and working at Auntie Anne’s pretzels at the local mall (and it was a 5-speed which I taught myself to drive)…wow, that was like 5 facts in on : )
7) I am a little OCD and cannot live without my binders and lists!!
