Seven random, weird and good-to-know facts about me.

Special thanks to Margie Newman at FlackRabbit.com for fueling my love for random surveys. Here goes!

1. I love to run in 30 degree weather, even though I have exercise-induced asthma. [For those who don't know, cold weather is quite a trigger for those with asthma.]

2. I don't use my inhaler anymore because it made me nauseous. In fact, I now get nauseous every time I get dressed for a run, even though I don't use the inhaler anymore. Good ol' fashioned conditioning right there.

3. I love storms. Not like, "Oh, I love to hear the rain hit a tin roof." No. I love to stand outside and search for funnel clouds. And when I see one, I get way too excited.

4. I talk to my dog. I also talk for my dog. It's cute, really.

5. When I was a kid, we had a lot of large rocks in our back yard. I used to throw them at the rocks in the ground to break them. Once, I accidentally broke one into the shape of Tennessee. Seriously, I was so cool.

6. I love pickled okra and pickled peppers... probably more than any human being should be allowed.

7. My friends and I used to talk in code. The sad part is that I could pick up one of those old notes today and tell you exactly what it meant.
