Day 6 of 30: Interesting Facts About Yourself

Okay... so no one ever said they had to be 30 CONSECUTIVE days!

And... I was pretty sick for a month there so I had an authentic reason to be MIA.

Anyway... now to the post...

30 Interesting Facts About ME

2. I HATE snakes. I found one in my backyard once and would not let myself or the pets go out there for TWO WEEKS.
   
   
3. I get cold chills and very anxious when I walk through the aquarium section at pet stores where they are in a separate place and you are surrounded by the fish... I'm always afraid the glass is gonna break.
   
   
4. I'm a big sister... to a three year younger brother.
