Seven random things about me

1. I'm obsessed with my work. I love learning about web design, programming, technology, marketing...Thankfully, I work for an association, where I can be involved in all of these different areas.

2. I regret completing a math major (still happy with the computer science major). The math major was really hard and I've done nothing with it since. Well, I did one thing. At a conference put on by my work, we had a prize wheel. Based on the number of prizes available and the anticipated number of spins, I was able to correctly calculate how many spaces on the wheel should be assigned to each prize. They ran out of prizes at the very end of the conference. All that work in college for a 15 minute calculation...

3. The best trip I've ever taken was our honeymoon. We spent two weeks in the Pacific Northwest, mostly in Oregon. The terrain is amazingly diverse -- rugged coastline, vineyards, mountains. So beautiful!

4. Zach and I became cat owners in August 2008. I always thought of myself as more of a dog person, but Fizz is very loving without being as overwhemlming as a dog. A side note: Sometimes I call my cat by saying, "Kitty Fizz, report to the bed!" She doesn't come, but I enjoy saying it.

5. I have no musical talent whatsoever. I played the coronet in grade school. I wanted to play the flute or clarinet or some other "girly" instrument, but my mom told me to quote "try something with less buttons."

6. I frequently have dreams where I am registered for a college class, but never attend. I keep meaning to go, but never do, and worry in the dream about the work I'm not doing. I've been out of college for almost seven years. When will it end?

7. Whenever I go to a new hair stylist, they inevitably comment that I have really thick hair, to which I retort, "You should see my back." Usually people laugh, but when they don't, it's just awkward.
