25 interesting things about me

This isn't going to be easy.......

1. I get nervous when a cop car is driving behind me! Like I freak OUT! I'm not usually doing anything wrong so I don't know why!

2. Both of my brothers are adopted into our family.

3. I have lived in 10 different houses and 1 apartment during my lifetime. We moved around a lot!

4. I love to watch figure skating on TV - I just literally love it! Michelle Kwan is my favorite ever skater.

5. I secretly want to take dance lessons. And I will, eventually.

6. I have eaten crocodile, wildebeest and rhino. In South Africa.

7. I hate seafood. Almost all of it. If (when in the UK) we get fish and chips I share a tiny bit of Daniel's fish. The rest of it... no thanks!

8. I name my cars by the first letter of their number (license) plate. So far I have had Jemima, Jo-Jo, Morgan and now Wednesday.

9. I am terrible for not listening to a whole song on my ipod or on the car. I skip so much because other songs pop into my head and I want to hear them NOW!

10. Spending Christmas in NYC with just my husband for company is one of my favorite things to remember.

11. When I was little my Nan would take me to the indoor market and offer to buy me a bag of sweets. I picked grapes. It became a tradition!

12. I think my Olympus camera that Daniel got me last year for my birthday could be my favorite present ever.

13. I love my kids in my class and my K team to bits. Plus many others who have been so lovely to me, making our move here so easy.

14. When I was 6 I won a competition to switch on the Gloucester Christmas lights. I had to stand on the balcony of Debenhams (department store) and then ride around the streets on Santa's sleigh. I painted a picture to win. I entered every year until I won!

15. I used to take ballet class and one year got picked to be the Christmas fairy at an old folks home, showering them with fairy dust and waving my magic wand.

16. photogrpahy is a great love of mine.

17. I dont actually like the taste of alcohol so much. I like to drink coke or pepsi.

18. I really believe a hot cup of tea makes things better all round. Try it.

19. I can't stand to be lost. I hate driving to new places. I panic hugely if I am lost. Ask Daniel he will tell you.

20. Rent is my all time favorite musical and I got to see it in NYC in 2007 before it closed down.

21. I love to travel and can never stay in one place for too long.

22. I achieved my life long dream of swimming with dolphins in August 2004, in Orlando, Florida. I want to do it again though.

23. This is the first place we have lived where we have had a dishwasher. Doing the dishes manually is my least favorite chore, I would rather clean the whole house. Having said that, I didn't have to do it very often.

24. I was scared of dogs until I met a wonderful dog called Jock. He is awesome. I love him to bits.

25. I think Daniel will have already known every single thing I have written here.
