5 Random things about you: I have knack for remembering odd facts, for example, Smokey the Bear has his very own zip code. It is 20252. Why do I remember that? I don't know. I like tractors, my husband bought me one for our anniversary. My Great-grandma, grandma, mom, and I are all 21 years apart in age. I broke that cycle by not having kids yet. I like to eat pretzles and drink pepsi (now diet pepsi) at the same time, however, I don't really care for either if I don't have both together. I love nerdy things... seriously love Star Wars... and nerd humor.
