11 Random Facts about me

1) The tub is my favourite place in the house. 

2) I remember my dreams most nights. They are often very vivid and weird. I know I dream in colour and feel real pain in them. Some dreams stay with me for days and weeks. 

3) I met 7 and remember 6 of my great grandparents.

4) I have a potty mouth. I love to swear.

5) If I didn't have the Man, I would likely become a dog hoarder! 

6) Nothing in the world makes me happier than a list. So doing this type of thing is my favourite thing! 

7) I spend a lot of time in car. I amuse myself listening to CBC radio, autobooks, satellite radio, or working on my french.

8) I love doing laundry!

9) I inherited an ability to eat from my late Poppa. My Poppa and I had eating contests when I was a kid. After a big roast beef dinner, with seconds and dessert (my Nana could cook) he would challenge me to an eat off. I could eat a big bag of chips and a whole bag of cookies after dinner! [Not healthy I admit, but fun as a kid]

10) I sleep with a sleep mask and a stuffed bear. 

11) I haven't eaten gluten for over a year
