10 Interesting Things About Me

1. I can't sleep if my feet are hot. Even in the winter I'll keep my feet out of the blankets. I hate socks. Just last month I was still wearing flip-flops.

2. I have something in common with Oprah, Julia Roberts, and Angelina in that I'm left-handed.

3. I spent my 15th Birthday in Bolivia. If you know anything about South America, they make a very big deal out of this milestone - which made it very special.

4. I was homeschooled until I was in grade 5, then I had a tutor until grade 10. I only spent 2 years in 'real' school and even then it was a private school.

5. I studied Latin for 2 years.

6. My dad is a twin who looks like him, talks like him and acts like him, but they have different blood types so are therefore fraternal.

7. I have a large red birthmark on my left knee which when I wear shorts most people confuse it for a bad burn.

8. I used to do an impersonation of Pavel Bure.

9. By the time I was 25 I had moved three times, but all three houses were within 5 km of each other. I am now living the furthest from home and it still is only about 10 minutes away.

10. My dad has 5 brothers and all of them have a first born child who is a son. My dad was the only one to have a daughter first. Now of all my cousins who have kids already - they have all had a daughter first and I am the only one to have a boy first.

Cool facts! #1 is so me. I am only wearing slippers now because the kitchen floor in this house is so cold it's like walking on ice. I take them off as soon as I leave the kitchen.

My #1 child is also left-handed, as is my Mom and my BIL.
