Here we are, Day 4. Today I’m supposed to list ten interesting facts about myself. This will be difficult because I don’t think I’m that interesting. Here goes:

1. I’ll be 45 in July and still don’t have to worry about gray hair. This irks my sister because she’s been coloring her grays since her 20’s and she’s five years younger than me.

2. My mom was born on an Army post – Fort Bragg, NC. I was born on an Army post – Fort Lee, VA. My daughter was born on an Army post – Fort Riley, KS.

3. I joined the Army at age 30. In Basic Combat Training, I was dropped from the top of a 20 foot climbing wall on the confidence course (snort!). I stuck the landing, but broke both feet and had stress fractures in my pelvis, right femur and left tibia. After a few months of being in the recovery unit, I took a medical discharge, mostly because I hated my drill sergeant. She was the worst “leader” I’ve ever met.

4. I love to play first person shooters on my Xbox One, but don’t have the time anymore.

5. I am very much an introvert and prefer to never leave my house if I can help it.

6. I once ran a half marathon.

7. I almost majored in Marine Biology, until I found out calculus 3 was required. Apparently that’s a real thing! So I have a BS in Anthropology, emphasis archaeology. Then I got an MBA.

8. I have two half-siblings by my dad who are younger than my kids. My daughter is a senior in high school this year, my half-sister a freshman.

9. My best friend Becky and I have been BFF’s since we were 13 years old. We may go months or even years without speaking, then it’s like no time has passed. Come hell or high water, she is my person.

10. I LOVE the Chicago Blackhawks. My grandfather, who lived in Detroit, took me to a hockey game when I was a kid. I was supposed to be a Redwings fan, but the Blackhawks had better uniforms. Hockey is the only sport I like.

And that’s it about me!
