11 Things About Myself

1.  I don't like cooking.

2.  I am inherently lazy.

3.  I was a flower girl for the lady whose daughter was my flower girl.

4.  I love listening to music but I am hopeless at names of artists or songs.

5.  My engagement ring has diamonds from my Gran's engagement ring, my Mom's engagement ring and my engagement ring - I love it and think of them every time I look at it.

6.  I was dux at senior primary school before going to high school.

7.  I often add up numbers on number plates when I am in the car.

8.  Generally if I am a passenger in the car for more than 20 mins, I will fall asleep, no matter what time of the day it is.

9.  After getting used to the taste of 70-80% chocolate, I don't enjoy 'normal' chocolate anymore but if I am really, really desparate, I will eat it.

10.  My first car (1983) was a 1960 Morris Minor that was chocolate brown and A had it spray-painted yellow for me even though we didn't really have the money to do that.  It was stolen when I was 7 or 8 months pregnant - I was very upset !!

11.  I love blogging and the people that I have met (IRL and online) through the internet.
