Who am I????

                                         Who are you?
I was honored to be tagged by Scarred for Life for this. I will be tagging some of my favorite blogs at the end. Now to give you some more info on me!

1. Where were you born? Wisconsin (GO PACK GO!)

2. Were you named after someone? Not for my legal name, but for my baptismal name I have my maternal grandmother's name- Anna.


3. How many children do you have? I do not have children. 

4. How many pets do you have? 1 dog, Maybelle. She's the 8th dog that has owned me. 

5. Your worst injury? I was learning how to ride a bike on my brother's BMX bicycle. He hadn't taught me how the hand brakes worked yet. A teenager in the neighborhood thought it would be funny to drive by me really fast and close. I panicked and used the handbrake. I went airborne over the handlebars and landed chin first on the asphalt. I came up crying and was more concerned about the button that came off my sweater. I ended up in the ER with a plastic surgeon whistling to me as he put 300 stitches in. The scar is minimal now thanks to him and my mom not wanting me to have a ugly scar.

6. Do you have a special talent? Um... not that I can think of. Unless you count being able to pick stuff up with my toes.

7. Favorite thing to bake? I'm not much of a baker because dad's diabetic, I'm gluten intolerant and mom likes only doughnuts.
