Here are the 25 random things so you don’t have to squint to see them.
1. My middle name (Dianne) is the same as my mom’s and my daughter’s.
2. I am NOT a nature girl. Not even at heart. I can pretend if I have to though. i.e. Girl’s Camp.
3. The ‘rock’ in my wedding ring is HUGE and FAKE. (I wouldn’t marry a man who was dumb enough to get a real one that big!)
4. I played the clarinet in 6th grade for 3 weeks.
5. Over half my clothes are black and/or white.
6. Over half my clothes are on the floor at any given moment.
7. I MUST have something creative to do or my brain will explode. At least, I imagine it will.
8. I went to college at 16.
9. I was a Nanny in Boston for 3 years and LOVED it!
10. My mini-van is a MESS pretty much always.
11. My dishwasher must be loaded a certain way or I get irritated.
12. I use google calendar for scheduling my kids’ chores. They come home and check their gmail to see what their jobs are that day.
13. I married my junior high boyfriend.
14. I do yoga. So does my 2 year old. 
15. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
16. I am a big fan of life-long learning.

17. Broccoli is my favorite food and I wonder why I don’t weigh less because of this fact. Maybe it’s the cheese I put on it.
18. I collect upscale scrapbook papers because I like to look at them, pet them and smell them. I don’t do paper scrapbooking.
19. I have been in secret rooms beneath Canal street in NYC. Password “Chanel”.
20. I love high quality white bedding, linens, towels, bath rugs etc. I love to bleach them.
21. I am suffering a slight identity crisis after having worked for so long to further the ’cause’ of digital scrapbooking. My husband says I have to let the kid go to college.
22. I have been ‘reading’ Mansfield Park for about 4 years now. I don’t know what my problem is.
23. My brain detests reading children’s books aloud because it’s already pages ahead. BUT…I read them anyway because of the benefit to my CHILD’s brain.
24. I am a little disappointed that I almost never have to help my kids with their homework. It is not the way I expected it to be. On the other hand I am glad my kids have no difficulties learning.
25. I wrote a novel when I was 20. It’s now too old to be considered current and too new to be vintage or retro so I’m saving it for when I’m 70 or so!
