I can't resist anything with a bow, sprinkled doughnuts, or pretty monograms.

The day doesn't start i've had a cup of coffee and it doesn't end until i've read a few pages of a good book.

My sister and I used to watch the parent trap every Saturday morning and reenact the different parts. I still know every word.

Growing up, I wanted to be an endocrinologist, lawyer, and editor in chief of a magzine.

I had (almost) perfect attendance from elementary through high school. The only day I missed was the last day of my senior year because of a crew regatta!
