Now this is going to be tough because everything about me is pretty darn spectacular but I shall try...

1. I love costumes. I would totally buy a million period pieces if I could afford to. None of that polyester costume store crap either. I want authenticity. I am such a sucker for any place in which people dress up in costumes and act like they are living in that time period.
2. I am obsessed with learning about small religious groups such as the Amish, FLDS, and Shakers. I have spent hours of my life reading about them online. I have a  fascination about life so different from my own taking place in the very same country I live in. I think it also helps that have wear interesting clothes. It all goes back to costumes now doesn't it?
3. I hate skin touching skin while I am trying to sleep. I am all for cuddling but once I am ready for actual sleeping don't touch me. I can't even have my bare legs touching each other so I have to shove a blanket or a pillow in between them. I also can't have any blankets tucked in. Oh and I hate sheets. And I have convinced Paul over the years to sleep with separate blankets because that assures that nothing will touch me. I also don't like the air pocket created by sharing of blankets.  I guess what I am trying to say is I need my space while sleeping...
4. When I was eight or nine I thought I would try to trick my extended family on Easter by telling them I was not Sharlene. I was her identical twin cousin Jennifer from Columbus, Ohio. I truly thought this would work if my parents and brother played along with it. I just kept telling them Sharlene was visiting Jennifer's family and vice versa. I did not give up trying to convince the others all day. I refused to respond to Sharlene and only responded to Jennifer. I still hear about this every holiday. I am often asked if I am Jennifer or Sharlene and when I am being extremely weird (which is often)  I am told to "stop being a Jennifer".
5. I hate mayo with such unbridled passion that its absurd. I am generally not a picky person I will absolutely NOT eat a sandwich that has mayo on it. I don't care if you wipe of the bread or the meat. It was once there. The filthy mayo germs have crossed the barriers. Looking at it makes me physically ill. I can eat stuff with mayo in it such as dips as long as I don't see it go in and can't taste it. I will not make recipes that require mayo. It truly sickens me that this is even a food product.
6. My current dream job is to either be a travel writer or have my family star in its own travel show about traveling with children. We could go all over the place and experience the world and inspire others to do the same. If anyone knows someone who might be able to make this happen, you know where I am.
