1…. I hear noises in my house when everyone else is in bed asleep. Sometimes it sounds like music is playing faintly in the distance.
2…. Our house used to be owned in the 1940′s by a man that fixed radios for a living- in the home. We found papers and receipts stuck in the baseboards when we were renovating that led us to this conclusion. Things that make you go hmmm?
3…. I stay up way too late every night (3 a.m. to 6 a.m.) and need to start getting to bed earlier. Maybe that’s why I’m hearing strange sounds in the night?
4…. I love to cook but haven’t done as many home cooked (made from scratch) meals as I like lately. I’ve been cheating with pre-made frozen stir fries, or already made hamburgers.
5…. I’m more than 6 inches taller than my husband. Our wedding pictures look funny. We have one with him standing on a chair to kiss me.
6…. I got sent home from a school 3 day outdoor camping trip when I was 13 because I got caught skinny dipping with a few other students.
7…. I wouldn’t eat cooked veggies when I was a kid no matter how my mother made them, but I would eat a number of them raw. So it wasn’t all that unusual for everyone else to be eating mashed potatoes or boiled turnip (yuck) and green beans, and for me to have each of these items raw on my plate. I still like raw green beans and potatoes.
8…. My parents were in their mid forties when I was born, and my oldest brother is almost 20 years older than I am.
9…. My eyes are Hazel but when I’m tired or have been crying they turn brilliant green, and when I’m feeling ill they have a yellow tinge to them.
10…. I don’t think I have a favorite color – I like several shades of most colors.
11…. My favorite meal is a nice juicy rare steak, but I can’t eat that very often because my tummy doesn’t like it lately.
12…. I’m reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown right now and I’m loving it. I think it might actually be better than the Da Vinci Code.
13…. I’m going to post a grilled vegetable recipe tomorrow that you should come back for and try on the weekend. It’s fantastic. I haven’t had one person tell me that they didn’t like it and most come back for seconds and thirds and …

Insomniacs of the world, unite! We could take over, you know. While the rest of the world sleeps.
The radio thing is a bit strange. The house that I grew up in was haunted by an elderly man. We (and all our neighbors and visitors) saw him quite often, and heard him even more frequently! I’m a skeptic about many things, but I do believe that emotions linger…
Raw potatoes are actually very good for you, but I’m sure you knew that already!
You must be very, very tall. I’ve always wished I was tall. Tall people never look chubby (the bane of my existence!). And you have hazel eyes. *sigh* I’m green with envy!
