Fiscally Chic

7 random facts

By

A couple weeks ago, Stephanie sent me a blog award. (Thanks!) Since work is a little crazy, I thought today would be a good opportunity to cash in the post and share 7 random facts about myself. Hope you find these entertaining on a Tuesday :)

 1. Even though I’m a foodie, I’m weird about tomatoes. I don’t like them raw or on salads. I’ll order them on sandwiches, but pull them out about half way through. Yet I like salsa, bruschetta, tomato sauce, and ketchup.

2. I’ve broken 3 bones. My right collar bone when I was 4. My left wrist when I was 6. And my right thumb when I was 15. While swimming.

3. I have a mild obsession with pink shoes. Current count: 4 pairs. Peep toes from our wedding, sneakers from London, flats for work, and sandals for warm weather.

4. I have a maybe-not-so-secret desire to own a bakery. And I love wedding cakes. A few years ago I saw a collection of Wendy Kromer wedding cakes and just about died. Wendy is an editor of “Martha Stewart Weddings” and is the co-author of “Martha Stewart Wedding Cakes.” Yes, I’m a proud owner of the book.

5. I was a cheerleader in 6th grade. Enough said. And no pictures.

6. I’m kind of afraid of dogs, especially small yippy ones. I had a traumatizing experience with an evil toy poodle as a kid.

7. My first car was a green 2000 VW Passat named Jalepeno. That picture is a newer version of my car.

I’d like to pass the love onto:

  6. I’m oddly picky about tomatoes too. I only like them raw if they’re finely diced, and only in pasta salad, not salad with lettuce (though I will happily eat huge pieces of tomato in Greek salad). I’ll eat them on maybe half the sandwiches I order. But I’ll happily add a can of diced tomatoes to soup or chili. And I love salsa, tomato sauce, and ketchup. I realize it’s crazy, but tomatoes are just . . . special. (Sometimes in the eat-paste kind of way.)

    But they are really pretty.

  7. Stephanie – Me too! Obviously :)

    Maddy, S.E.Minegar, and Lisa – Glad I’m not the only one who is weird about certain foods. I think it’s a texture thing for me and the tomatoes.

    Kati – Sorry to disappoint! Maybe we can find some cheerleader pictures when we stay with my family in May.

    Melissa – You’re welcome! It’s been fun to follow along with you too. Interested in opening a bakery with me?
