- I'm originally from New Hampshire and miss it dearly. Specifically, Portsmouth. It's a fantastic place to grow up.
- I call Boston home, even though I've lived in the DC Metro area longer then I lived in Boston.
- I'm a Red Sox fan, but I'm not the best at paying close attention to stats and standings. I leave that to my friends and family.
- I've been in DC since 2002. I've lived within the same two blocks of Silver Spring the entire time. This just happened, it wasn't on purpose.
- I can't believe I've been in DC for that long. I came here on a one year plan.
- My husband is over a foot taller then me.
- While I've been hitched for a bit of time now, it still feels funny to say husband.
- He doesn't really like the Red Sox, but is a good sport about most things.
- I call him the Tall Guy
- We have a dog named Annie. She's a bit high strung, but in a way that you still like her after she's licked your face and done leaps through the backyard, knocking over anything in her path.
- I have an amazing set of friends. Cheesy? Yes. But, true.
- I taught myself how to knit about 8 or 9 years ago. There was an ill fated lesson abut 20 years ago from my great-grandmother, which I didn't retain, so it was all from scratch
- I didn't get fully immersed in the knitting circuit until about 4 years ago.
- I don't like to say obsessed. More like. A very dear hobby. Smart folks don't make fun of me, as they know I'll knit them presents.
- I love teaching people to knit, or getting them more involved.
- Ravelry.com has been an amazing tool for making new friends. Twitter is just fun.
- Hardly any of my friends actually knit or have any understanding to this part of my life, but they accept it and I love them for that.
- I've met a ton of awesome people via the internet that knit that I doubt I would have met otherwise.
- If I could, I would never wear shoes. I love being barefoot. Summer makes me happy for this reason.
- We have a Mini Cooper Clubman. It's a funny little car and I love it.
- My degree is in Psychology.
- I work in HR for the Government.
- I would rather knit and go to Yoga, but it's a job and I like my co-workers.
- I never would have thought my life would lead me to having to call the White House and debate issues.
- The Tall Guy is the plant person in our house. We have wonderful vegetation and orchids. And I don't ever go near them. Mostly, I kill plants.
- I've managed to get the Tall Guy to request and enjoy tofu, tempeh and seitan in the last year. This still amazes me as he's a "Meat and Potatoes" Mid-westerner.
- For him, I still eat the occasional steak, but this will probably stop at some point.
- I avoid knitting that involves knitting a "front" and "back". This means, I like "in-the-round" sweaters.
- I just had my sewing machine make its way to DC from NH. I'm thinking I'll start branching out in my crafty adventures.
- My Mom died from breast cancer when I was 17.
- Who knows where I would be if I hadn't lost her, but it's so hard for me to explain to people who I am without them having known her.
- If I don't have my glasses on or contacts in , I can't really see you or the face you're making.
- I've tried really hard, but I am not a morning person. I just can't function.
- Coffee is one of my loves.
- I've worked for three different coffee companies over the years. If they could match my current compensation, that's what I would be doing now.
- I have 4 tattoos. I'm planning to get one reworked/covered soon.
- I think it's funny that people still think tattoos are "counter culture" or that my four is " a lot".
- We don't have a kid at this point. There's no rush, but I love other people's kids a lot and I think a lot of people think if you don't have a kid, you must not like them. False. I guess this is now TOTALLY wrong as we have a wee one named Silas...
- I grew up with a pool in my backyard.
- It just happened to be there when my parents bought the house.
- I'm actually a pretty terrible swimmer despite the fact that there was a pool in the backyard.
- I love the ocean. Any ocean.
- I'll pick popcorn over chocolate any day.
- I didn't know what the "Big Ten" was until I met The Tall Guy. He went to two schools that belong to the Big Ten.
- I'm not allowed to wear Yellow and Blue together. (see #44).
- I love to read. Apparently I read pretty fast. I'll read just about anything you put in front of me.
- We're about to move across country to Denver from DC.
- I'm going to be unemployed.
- You'll probably be seeing a lot more posts as a result!
I'll add more as I think of it.
