I was clearly struck by my nephew’s question a few weeks ago and have been thinking about who exactly I am. This is just a collection of things about me.

I go slightly out of my way to step on crunchy looking leaves.
I drink way too much coffee, knowing that I shouldn’t.
I leave Facebook up all the time, but I’m always doing other things.

I would rather talk in person or text.
I don’t trust people easily, but once I do, they pretty much have my trust forever.
I like to talk.
I love to listen.
I am actually beginning to like my hair.
I am absolutely fascinated with my college and its president. (and his wife)

I also yell at all the cars around me.
I say shoot, golly, darn, Jeez, oh-my, and yikes.

I give second chances.
I can lick my elbow. (no joke. I really can.)
