Me in a nutshell via ten random facts

1

I’m a military spouse and currently stationed in the big sky state of Montana. It is GORGEOUS–I love it here.

2

Three handsome and active little boys of mine keep life fun and ever-changing. My middle son has Type 1 diabetes, so I am quite passionate about spreading awareness of this silent disease.

3

Some people say I’m crazy about rocks. It’s absolutely true. I love finding beautiful stones and crystals everywhere I go, in shops & in the ground, and have an embarrassingly large stockpile that I plan on adding to indefinitely.

4

Up until last year, I thought the Fresh Prince of Belair song rapped “Westvillanovia, born and raised” instead of its actual  line “West Philadelphia, born and raised”. This happens often; there’s no point in hiding it.

5

I have Idiopathic Hypersomnia. I usually just say Narcolepsy because it’s almost the same thing and much easier to say.

6

I am not a crook cook.

7

My parents have a wicked Maine accent. However, as a young adult I stopped replacing words ending in “er” with “ah”, stopped adding “er” to words that end in “a”, and even started using the “g” in “ing”! Basically I started using my jaw while speaking. I think this proves my level of motivation and dedication. Thank you. *bowing*

8

I was born with a different blood type than I have now. I know, it sounds super weird and impossible. Sort of like….how I talk to dead people.

9

I am horrible at video games. My boys will happily tell you! I spend 90% of the time trying to figure out how to turn my head so I can see where I am running and my sweaty hands make it near impossible to hit the right buttons. *eye roll*

10

My New England sense of humor isn’t always understood. I can find a laugh in just about anything–especially unfunny situations. Like that time I giggled when asked to agree that I was not under the influence of any mind altering substances (before signing my advance directive).
