1. I’ve never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I love telling this to people and watching them try to make me eat one. Not. Gonna. Happen.
2. The only way I can swim underwater in the ocean is if I hum to myself while I’m doing it. Otherwise, I freak out about things like piranha and killer whales. And this thing:

3. I make 3×5 flash cards of vocabulary words like “ichthyology” and “ectomorphic,” and I study them in my spare time. Please stop laughing.
4. Until about three weeks ago, I had no idea what a trunk show was. I thought it involved actual trunks containing designer gowns that you could look at but not touch, much less try on.
5. Apparently, I’m unconsciously obsessed with the number two. I tend to buy everything in pairs: framed prints, decorative vases, pets, etc. (Is this a sign I’ll have twins??)
6. I have a litterbox-trained house rabbit named Oliver. He’s got run of the place, and is best friends with our retired greyhound, though the irony is lost on them:

“Mom! I can’t believe you told them I use a litterbox! I’m so embarrased.”
