Random facts about yourself.

Hey guys I've been more of a lurker than a poster so far but here's a little bit about myself:

1. I speak Polish! My mom was born and raised in Poland and moved here when she married by dad at age 26.
2. My mom said she knew by age 3 that I loved snakes.. we were at a teacher convention in Madison, WI and a guy had a carpet python there. I wouldn't leave him alone until he let me hold it haha.
3. I've been to 19 countries.
4. Dark haired, brown eyed girls are my weakness ;)
5. I'm in grad school to become a high school biology teacher.
6. Class co-valedictorian in high school.
7. I love playing basketball, and enjoy running too. I wanted to run a marathon after my sophomore year of cross country, but my dad wouldn't let me. Said it would "kill my enthusiasm for running" if I did it so young. Whatever dad.
8. I can't tie my shoes normal style... I'm still stuck on the bunny ears method you learn in kindergarten.
9. I'm an eternal optimist and believe the human spirit is strong enough to tackle anything. Probably picked that up from my great uncle in Poland... he's made a living as an artist in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment, had three cars stolen in his lifetime, and after the third was stolen, all he had to say was: "biking is better for you anyways!" Amazing person...
10. I have a permanently crooked pinky... dislocated it playing basketball and the physician's assistant couldn't reset it straight haha

- Besides tea & water, coffee is my addiction. Yum.
- Taking walks in the woods is best, except when you walk through a spider web you can't see!! LOL.

- I used to drink 3 a day, whether it be the GIANT BFCs and 2 lil ones or 2 of the like.. what.. 24oz and a lil one. I mixed it up. It actually started eating at my stomach, and I couldn't eat and was always sick.

She was taller than me and I gave her big hug and swore I would own one someday. I was 28 when I got my first and they are everything I want in a dog!

---

Great danes are my favorite dogs! LOVE THEM.
