50 Facts about Me

So, I debated writing this post for a long time as I convinced myself that no one would ever care to read about random things to do with me. But I re-visited the idea and decided that you never know, someone might. So I ended up writing a list of 50 random facts about me. 

I figured if nothing else, it may help you to get to know me better, I personally love reading these sort of blog posts myself – so please feel free to leave a comment with a quirky fact about yourself. 🙂
