Tell us something about yourself most of us don't know.
My dad was in the Marine Corps, so we moved around until I was in 6th grade.
What was your first job or your most unusual job?
1st job was detassling corn. But one unusual job is that I worked 2 weeks at an onion ring factory. Yuck! Luckily I got laid off. My boss at the IGA grocery store rehired me as a cashier.
What are your five favorite foods?
Dr. Pepper, Pizza, Ham, Spaghetti, Garden Tomatoes
What is the most interesting vacation you've had, and why?
When I was 14 I went on a 2 week camping trip with 5 other girls (and a chaperone couple) to Wyoming and South Dakota. We pitched a tent every night, drank water from streams, etc. We went white what rafting, and it was very different from "Glamping."
What is one of the things on your bucket list?
I have traveled quite a bit for work, but I would like to spend time in New England and see NYC. One of my best friends is moving to Malibu, California this summer so I hope to visit.
Tell us about your pets.
My Miniature Pinscher Booboo is my best friend. His buddy is Oslin – a Siamese – and I also have a white cat named Casper.
What is the last book you read?
"Disturbed" by Jennifer Jaynes. I read all kinds of mysteries and thrillers.
