1. Out of 7 girls trying out for cheerleading at my high school, 6 would make it. I was the one that didn’t (this is always a great excuse to not be the cheerleading coach at the schools I have worked at). People don’t ask twice when they hear that.

In interest of full disclosure, just because I like them, doesn't mean they are always done . . .

How was it living in the Bahamas?
I used to hate cranberry sauce, but I have grown to love it but only my grandma's homemade which doesn't have orange in it like a lot of others. The cranberries are boiled with apples. :D
Oh, wow on your delivery of your 4th!
You have a hard time saying "no", too. I thought it was just me. :D
Have a great week!
