25 Facts for 2025. So I just edited the original post so that it’s up to date for this moment

1. I was born in 1981, but considering my taste in music, you might think it was 1971. Well, almost; I am a Swiftie (but not one of those unhinged ones who knows her blood type and shoe size)
2. My hair color/length changes with my moods, currently it’s a medium length blonde-ish brown with a ton of highlights. Lately I’ve been blow drying it straight, and with all the layers it’s starting to look a bit like The Rachel. Naturally, while I wouldn’t call myself a curly girl, it has a ton of wave.
3. My current obsession (besides my wild dog) is gardening, which brings us to:
4. I wouldn’t consider myself outdoorsy in an athletic sense, but I do like being outside and relaxing in nature type environments.
5. I’m not super well traveled, but I have been to the following states (and by “been to” I mean I have stayed at least  1 night in said state, not just stopped on my way to another destination), as of this date, I have never left the United States.
   • Nevada
   • Hawaii
   • Wisconsin
   • Missouri
   • Texas
   • Louisiana
   • Utah
   • New York
   • Pennsylvania
6. I’ve never lived more than 35 miles from the beach.
7. I prefer iOS to Android.
8. I can drive a standard transmission vehicle.
9. I’m not really sure what my favorite book is anymore. I love a good audiobook though. Lately my listening focus has been:
   • Fantasy (yes I enjoy fairies, dragons, and witches)
   • Celebrity Memoirs
   • True Crime
   • Psychological Thrillers
10. I like pineapple on my pizza, which is apparently a controversial opinion.
11. I really want to be a person who journals, but so far, I have a really hard time keeping the writing streak going (see also: blogging)
12. Alligators/crocodiles are fascinating to me.  When I traveled to New Orleans I made sure to take a swamp tour so that I could see them in the wild.
13. Fall is my favorite season
14. My Bacon Number is 3, I met David Arquette in New Orleans, he was in the Scream movies with Neve Campbell, and she was in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon.
15. I would rather spend a weekend in a hotel than camping.
16. I didn’t learn to ride a bike until I was in the 6th grade.
17. I’m not bilingual, but I sometimes dream in Spanish (perhaps it’s from a past life???).
18. I like to drink a cup of coffee in the morning, but if I want a hot beverage in the afternoon, I’d rather have tea. If it’s too hot in the morning for coffee an iced cold brew with a splash of vanilla syrup (no cream) will absolutely hit the spot.
19. My senior year in high school I auditioned to be part of a summer dance program that performed at Disneyland, I made the cut and it was a crazy fun experience.
20. I’m not sure if this is something I should be proud of, but cheese is one of my favorite foods and I probably eat at least a little bit of it every single day.
21. I’m definitely a dog person more than a cat person… cats are cool, but dogs are life. Plus my dog hates cats with every fiber of his being, so its safer for all of us if I love cats from a distance.
22. I’m incredibly stubborn when I really want something.
23. I live on the same piece of property that my grandmother grew up on (A LOT has changed over the years)
24. I can’t go to sleep at night unless I’ve brushed my teeth, I have nightmares about my teeth falling out if I don’t.
25. Boots are my favorite shoe style, but no particular type, UGGs for cool days and early mornings, Docs for regular days (platform Docs if I’m feeling fancy), hiking boots for gardening, knee high for when I’m feeling dressy or like an Autumnal Millennial.
