1. I hate cords. Lamp cords, cords around the entertainment center. The cord on the coffee pot. Any exposed cord. THey’re such an eye sore and I dream of ways that I can hide them.

2. My maternal Grandmother is from Panama, which might seem odd, being that I am red headed and freckled. But, really- it’s true. The rest of the fam is brown haired and tans in two seconds.

3. I was once on a billboard, posing for a classic rock radio station. I think I must have been 17, maybe 18 years old at the time.

4. I still check on Henry many times after he’s gone to bed. I can’t help it! Call me obsessive, call me a worry wart. But I still go in his room and watch his chest rise + fall, and put little kisses in his palms and whisper in his ear how much I love him.

5. I started drinking coffee when I was 12. Back then, it was this very weak stuff from my Grandparents percolator, with a good spoonful of white sugar and cream. Now, it’s a rich, dark french pressed cup with a little brown sugar and milk.
