Five Things About Me

Life has been busy around here lately.  I've been catching up on appointments and the like before I start my new job next week.  Anywho, I've been trying to come up with a post idea and this was something I haven't done yet.  So here are five things you may not know about me:

1. I am an avid Lord of the Rings/ The Hobbit fan.  I love the movies.  I occasionally have LOTR marathons and can't wait to watch them all in order starting with The Hobbit.  I am not ashamed of this little quirk!

2.  I didn't get my ears pierced until my late twenties.  It took me months to work up the courage to actually get it done and I still took my bestie with me for moral support.

3.  I love to paint, and I am not talking about landscapes.  I love painting rooms, I find it relaxing, almost meditative.  My family thinks I'm a little weird!

4.  I love to bake and I do not do it often enough.  I prefer to bake from scratch and the ensuing mess is a bit daunting to clean up when a dishwasher is lacking.  The results are usually well worth it though.

5.  I lived in England for years as a child and still get desperately homesick for the place.  I would love to return one day, maybe even to live.

So, there you are!  Five random facts about me that I'm pretty sure I haven't mentioned here before.
