Blog Tag

So I guess there's this new game out there called blog tag. I was tagged and I have to write 6 random facts about myself. So, here goes:

1. I really love chocolate. Hershey's chocolate doesn't even count here. I'm talking about the good stuff that comes from Belgium. I use it when I bake, I use it to make hot chocolate and I just eat it by the square. I never get sick of this stuff. It rocks my world.

2. I manage a house of 20 guys from all over the world. We eat together every night, have weekly discussions, go on fun retreats (like the one we just got back from in New Hampshire), and have occasional parties.

3. I am running my first 5K this Sunday at Franklin Park.

4. I am passionate about music and the affects it has on babies and children. Studies have shown that we process music much the same way that we process language. Another interesting study shows that music exercises a different part of our brain than language. As we listen to music we are processing words, tones and rhythms, which is helpful in connecting both sides of the brain. Lesson learned? Sing, dance and make music with your children! (it will make them smarter.)

5. I love to bake and I love to cook. I am particular about the way things look when finished. If I wasn't such a perfectionist I think I would enjoy culinary school.

6. I spent my first wedding anniversary in Penang, Malaysia, days before the Tsunami hit in 2004.

That's it! 6 random facts. I tag Erin Stroup, Ashley Stroup, Sarah Moritz, Jill Marley, Julia Currie, Amber Rasmusen and Jen Fulkerson.
