All About Biz

I've been tagged by Heather to tell you about things nobody knows about me. It was kind of fun to think about. So here goes:



- When I was 12 years old, my best friend and I created, developed and ran a day camp for kids. It was called Kids Kamp. We had craft time, song time, activity time, even snack time. We hired our friends, volunteered our sisters, and even had a lawyer draft up a waiver form for the parents to sign. We ran it out of my parents back yard and made serious money. That's when I knew I was an entrepreneur!


- I have the recipe for Nestle Toll House cookies memorized, and have had it memorized since I was 11. My next door neighbor and I used to make them almost daily. We would add small amounts of cinnamon and think that we had a crazy new recipe. Now, I just love to make cookies. I can whip up a full batch from pouring flour to washing the cookie trays in 40 minutes, tops.


- I want to pierce my nose. I have wanted to for a while, but now that I'm pregnant I'm scared to. Just a tiny little stud. My friend Jennifer just got a tattoo for her 30th, and I figure that a piercing is similarly adventurous, but less permanent when I turn 40 and decide my kids shouldn't get piercings yet.


- I would rather wear my husbands sweats any day of the week. (I am wearing them as I write this!) They're giant on me, super comfy, and they remind me of when we were dating. I would go straight to his apartment after work, change into his sweats, make dinner together and watch movies all evening. Ah, the good ol' days with zero responsibilities.


- At the risk of being rather risqué, I cannot wear clothing to bed. Socks, sweats, tank tops, no matter what it is or how freezing I am when I get in bed, they all are on the floor by the middle of the night. I love to be warm, but I hate to be hot while I'm sleeping. Oh, and I love to sleep. I love my bed. And I love sleeping next to my husband.


- I was bald until I was 2 years old. Now my hair is thick, but it was non-existent even after I started walking. That, combined with Mike going bald at 18, gives any boy we have a solid 16 years with good, thick hair. Then the poor things are screwed. Although I think Mike's baldness is hot, so it's really in the way you look at it.


- I desperately want to own my own business (see the first one). I haven't figured out a lucrative way to do that, but I love every aspect of running a business. Plus I am terrible at working for other people. I'm very efficient, and 48 hour work weeks drive me nuts. I love to be creative, and I know there's a perfect opportunity for me to do something, I just need to find it.



I now tag Molly, Aimee and Betsy! Tell us what you've got, girls. :)
