11 Random Facts About Eli:

• I am obsessed recently with painting my nails.  (current color: black like my mood 🙂 I even had a co-worker say my nails change color daily.
• My husband thinks I’m weird that I always eat rice cakes.  Every day.  Whether I need to or not.  He thinks they smell like dirty feet and farts.
  
• I used to be in ballet for 6 years despite my well-known inflexibility.  Without it, I think I would need a more supportive running shoe then I already do.  It’s a good thing I quit because I obviously became too tall (with friends that make me seem taller haha)
  
• Some days at work I eat pickles as a snack.  Yum, sodium!
• I absolutely hate mushrooms.  Thinking about them makes me nauseous.  Mushrooms are the creation of satan’s garden. (best underwear ever ps)
  
• I am secretly self conscious of my growing “mr lumpy” on the inside of my knee.  Mr. Lumpy=bone spur.
• My favorite dance move is “the running man”
  
• Someday I want to take a class in order to learn how to decorate cakes.  I am obsessed with watching baking competition shows.
• My husband swears I have the nose of a bloodhound since I can smell all of his farts and when the garbage begins to smell. Case in point, this picture.  Also most unflattering picture of my from the year 2009.
  
• This year I came out of soccer retirement (of 2 years) to start playing in Men’s Open.  I missed playing.
