Just to settle the rumors . . . yes, I did

*eat a half gallon of ice cream in one sitting. Within 10 minutes. After my triathlon nonetheless. And yes, it was cookies & cream.

*travel across India with 3 great girl friends. Unaccompanied by mandated University personnel and without parental knowledge. We stayed in a resort on a CLEAN beach, with plenty of sunshine, white sand, and drinks to spare. Oh, and no creepy Indian men to fight off. :)

*write a novel that was accepted by a publisher. I just never gave official permission to print the book . . .

*get up on the air chair on my first try. I went for a good half-mile on that first run!

*buy my condo at 22 years old. 'Nuff said.

*jello wrestle my way to be Jello Wrestling Champion of the World (slight exaggeration) 2006. Any one want to challenge me for the title next year?

*graduate Valedictorian of my high school class of 531 and Summa Cum Laude of my college class of 423. If it wasn't obvious, I am a nerd.

*drop chewed bubblegum in my uncle's armpit at the tender age of 4, causing him to use ice, peanut butter, nail polish remover, scissors, and eventually gasoline (yes, ouch!) to get it out. Sorry, Uncle Ed! ;)

*start speaking Spanish at 5 years old.

*overcome my fear of spiders and as a result, held a tarantula . . . twice.

*eat yellow snow. On multiple occasions. Don't worry, it was snow ice cream made with sugar, vanilla, eggs, and what else? . . . Snow! (You knew it had to be some form of wacky ice cream, right?!)

*purposely step on my brother's back mere weeks after he was born. I'm not cruel, I promise--I just had to get used to the little guy. :) No worries, he forgives me and no physical damage was done. Well, at least I think so . . .

*take photographs when no one was looking. (Don't you wish you knew?!)

*sing solos in three different songs in an elementary school presentation.

*hot tub with strangers . . . without a suit. You know if you were there . . .

*walk Tianenmann Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall of China. It was fascinating!

*break my elbow by falling off a bike. And what was more of a bummer, was that I was on vacation too! Did I mention the bike wasn't moving?

*babysit for the kids who live across the street from Colorado Rockies First Baseman Todd Helton. His house is as huge and as beautiful as you might expect it to be . . .

*learn to snow ski for the first time this year. An embarrassing fact for a Colorado native, I know, yet I got 'er dun! ;)

*faint in church in front of close to 1000 people. I was kneeling at the altar when it happened, so you can't convince me that nobody noticed.

*hula hoop my way to first place at a talent show in third grade. I 'hooped' to Amy Grant's "Baby, Baby." Oh yeah, the sweet sound of the early 90s . . .

*hula dance on stage and belly dance in private. What a workout!

I think that's enough of a disclosure for now, don't you think?
