Taking my cue from my dear friend Carmalyn McCracken and playing the little game going around on Facebook--Here are some things about me you may not know. I was given the number 10 by Joy Adams Luke, so here goes:
1. I'm a trivia buff with a photographic memory--at least before moving to Paris. Between the constant translating, public transportation "adventures", and the blur of the metric system in my mind, I barely know my own address. So correction: I used to be a trivia buff with a photographic memory, but that's okay, because it's PARIS, right?
2. I auditioned for "Jeopardy" in Dallas a few months after Laura was born. My brain was still on zero sleep at that point, so I didn't make the cut. Which leads me to number 3...
3. I'm an eternal optimist. In my room of hundreds of "Jeopardy" wanna-bes, I was sure I would be the next name called. I brought a new outfit with me for my on-camera audition, which you only are invited into after passing the written/video exam. Maybe I should create my own reality series, "Jeopardy Bootcamp". Alex Trebek and I could co-host. We would become BFFs.
4. I love to do anything competitively from sports to board games. I love anything involving strategy, which totally blows watching the NBA anymore. They just give the ball to one guy, who dribbles down and shoots the ball from half-court. Yawn! You probably already know I LOVE tennis!

| My tennis team, "Sets on the Beach" won Little State in 2012 at the 4.0 level, yay!!! |
5. My all-time favorite TV shows are "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Seinfeld" & "Saturday Night Live". All the important parts of life have been covered on these 3 shows.
6. My life will be complete when I get to see the Rolling Stones in concert. So Keith & Mick, take your Centrum Silver and come on over!
7. I was a 5-time state qualifier in high school. I competed in high jump my freshman and senior year and baton twirling my sophomore, junior & senior year.
8. I rode my bike from Houston to Austin in the MS-150 bike ride. I don't think I ever need to do that again, but I did win an award for my fundraising efforts for the MS Society.
9. I'm a drama junkie. My dream job would be reviewing, discussing & writing about movies/plays/musicals/TV shows. Latest favorite shows: Kinky Boots (Broadway) & Breaking Bad (TV).
10. I love being with people who have special needs. Joni and Friends Family Retreat at Camp Allen & Special Olympics are 2 of my very favorite places.
Love to hear YOUR Top 10!!
