2. I absolutely can NOT survive a single day without at least one cup of coffee. Just ask my coworkers. I forgot my coffee once and one of them moved Heaven and Earth to find me a cup!
3. Pet peeves interest me. I like knowing what irritates other people.
4. My clothes are organized first by style, then by color. Always have been!
5. When I was in second grade, I vomited in the third grade hallway. I had Golden Crisp cereal that morning. I have not eaten Golden Crisp (or the similar Honey Smacks) since.

9. I'm a firm believer in, "the best things in life aren't things."

11. Gnats disgust me.
12. I often confuse the letters Q and G when typing.
13. I secretly wish I had a dog. A bulldog. That doesn't pee in the house, poop in the grass, or drool or shed on my furniture. Highly unlikely.
