1. I currently have a broken retainer on my bottom teeth and a wicked, as they say out here, bad sunburn on my back
2. My latest food fascination is green olives stuffed with blue cheese
3. My hair used to be pretty curly, but since having my first son it's now more wavy than curly
4. Even though I grew up outside of Chicago, I was born in MA and lived here for a couple years until we moved to WI. We lived there for a couple years and then moved to IL.
5. Despite the fact that my sons have Irish names and we are all fair, we are in fact not at all Irish. I was an exchange student in Northern Ireland the summer between my junior and senior year of high school and really like Irish names.
6. I leave you with a real zinger of info: when I was little I had an imaginary identical twin sister named Mary Frances who lived on the other side of the mirror in my room. Since I am right-handed, she is left-handed of course. When I was in college I dated a guy who had a whole imaginary country when he was little. He also had videotapes of his campaign ads against other candidates, including his cat, who beat him in a primary election. (Fortunately he ran as an independent in the general election and won, because who would want your cat running your imaginary country.) Our older son is named after him
