10 Things You Didn't Know About Me

(...unless your name is Craig, Peg or Casey... then you probably know these things ;) )

1) Medical stuff: I have never broken any bones. I am allergic to penicillin. I had bronchitis at age 3.
2) My lucky number is 7.
3) I LOVE to make lists - as well as to check them off - hence this list.
4) I have never had/tried any of the following:

a cup of coffee

a beer (tasted but never drank a whole one)

a ciggarette

5) Jobs I've held in my lifetime:

dishwasher at T.T. Topp Cafe (age 14)

counter clerk at Genoa Jewelers (age 16-18)

receptionist for my dad (age 18)

dietary aid at Genoa Care Center (age 19)

dietary aid at Wood County Nursing Home (age 20-22)

teller at Genoa Bank (age 21 and 22?)

dietitian in the WIC Program at Toledo Hospital (age 23-present)

6) My favorite color is purple.

7) I wear the same jewelry every day with the exception of a few costume pieces here and there:

wedding/engagement rings

gold thumb/pointer finger ring (I change up which finger I wear it on)

Tagheuer Link watch (Craig and I got matching watches when he turned 30 - mine has a black face and a diamond bezel - LOVE it!)

small, diamond, drop earrings (a Christmas gift from Craig before we got engaged)

8) I love fruit, but am very picky about it. i.e. I take forever to peel off all the stringy white stuff from an orange or clementine (the pith?), or the strings off a banana, or the "scratchy" spots in the center of a sliced apple where the seeds were encased. I prefer fruit cut up small instead of giant bites of it. And, though I don't really love bananas, I can eat them much better sliced than whole. Haha.

9) I've lived in the following places:

Genoa, OH

Curtice, OH

Bowling Green, OH

Saginaw, MI

10) I've owned/driven the following cars (can't remember all the years):

Ford Explorer (hand-me-down from parents - not "mine")

1997 Pontiac Sunfire (my first car with an actual car payment)

2006? Cadillac CTS (leased for 2 years)

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee (present)

Edited to add: title change! Oops, that would be 10 things, not 7. The typical e-mail chain that gets passed is only 7 things. I kept going. ;) Thanks for pointing that out, Lisa! Haha!
