10 Little Known Facts About Me

  1. 1.I hate to fix my hair. If I ever win the lottery, I will pay someone to fix my hair every day for the rest of my life.

  2. 2.I could eat chips and salsa every.single.day.

  3. 3.I thought I was going to be Miss America when I grew up. My older cousins told me that I was going to be Miss America almost daily; I was the baby and the only girl. I was in second grade before I learned it was a contest. I was crushed.

  4. 4.All I have ever wanted to do was teach.

  5. 5.I don’t trust women who always have a manicure. How do they have the time to do it? How do they keep from messing it up?

  6. 6.I believe in blowing off work to spend time with friends and family. I make each choice by asking myself which I would be more proud of on my deathbed, submitting to one more conference or snuggling on the couch with the girls.

  7. 7.I can pop every joint in my body (and do so regularly) except my elbows.

  8. 8.I rarely talk about writing without talking about Morgan.

  9. 9.I do not think I am a good writer; I think that makes me a better writing teacher.

  10. 10.I don’t understand why people like ice cream so much.
