Seven Random Things About Jenny

Erica at Crummy Cupcake was kind enough to tag little ol’ me for the Seven Random Things Meme. So, here’s another mind-numbing fascinating peek inside my life!

1) I am a history nerd and I have a lot of books about the history of Dayton, Ohio.

2) My mom calls me “Scooby Doo” because I used to reallllllly like that show when I was a kid.

3) I pick my cuticles when I’m anxious.

4) I am very klutzy. Example: I stabbed myself in the arm with an exacto knife while working on our senior class float in high school. A classmate drove me to urgent care and I had to get stitches. I try not to play with knives anymore!

5) I was seriously really sad when Jessica and Nick broke up, ’cause I’m all for young love, and divorce is just sad.

6) I really, really don’t miss working “outside the home.”

7) I wear Lands’ End Trellos about 98% of the time and am really sad that winter is coming and I’m gonna have to find some warm, comfy shoes. (Anyone got any suggestions?)

I now bequeath this meme (aka tag!) to: Momo, Piper, VDog, and anyone else who needs NaBloPoMo material!
