Random facts ?
We have some newbies and I feel like since the board is so slow I'm not learning much about all the new people (or sharing much about myself !) . So TELL ME 3 random, interesting facts about you/your life anything you want to share. 
Re: Random facts ?
I'm pretty boring.
1. I have won a baking competition.
2. I have never sucessfully water-skiied (although I've tried a few times)
3. I like all veggies except the ones with "green" in the name. Green peppers, green beans ... ick.
1. I can pick things up with my toes. It's very useful.
2. Flying the trapeze is on my bucket list.
3. I didn't go camping until I was 22 years old. It was awesome!
Yeah, we haven't done this in awhile.
1) I was born in France but was back in the States by 3 months old. I've visited the country 3 times since then and lived there for close to a year.
2) We will have been married for 5 years in 2 weeks.
3) I lived in the Bay Area for 10 years until about a week ago and 3 years as a kid, 14 years in Fresno (grew up there) and 5 years in Santa Barbara (went to college there). We just moved to L.A. for DH to continue to pursue his stand up comedy.

3. I have an obsession with cupcakes. And most other sweets.
1. I can cuss in 3 languages.
2. I never watch tv shows that are 30 mins or comedies. I prefer 1 hour drama shows (CSI, Hawthorne, Royal Pains, Necessary Roughness, Law & Order, etc).
3. I snore worse than any other person you have ever heard. DH says I can be louder than a herd of elephants.
1. I'm training to run my first half marathon in October (Nike Women's)
2. I was once in a commercial for Visa
3. I have brachydactyly type d (aka "clubbed thumbs"). So does Megan Fox. I don't know if this is true as well for Megan, but I can bend both of my thumbs backwards 90 degrees at the top knuckle without any assistance or real effort.
1. I love practical jokes. Hubs and I have played some amazing pranks on each other.
2. I hate crickets.
So creepy
3. I would rather be in/on the water than just about anything else in the world. Ocean, beach, lake, river whatever. I prefer the ocean, but i'm happy with anything. It feeds my soul.

2. Dh and I love to hunt down abandoned railroads and have found some pretty cool stuff while doing it.
3. I'm a on "cookie committee" that bakes for Habitat for Humanity events and for volunteers on the jobsite. It's totally fun.
I love cake, and love that cupcakes are trending!
My son is a dual citizen
I am still trying to get my first name put on my birth certificate, almost 26 years after the hospital I was born at submitted it blank.

3. I've been commuting to my current job via BART for almost 6 years.

1. I'm hoping to get a job in Austin and move there.
2. I leave in less than 1 month for a trip to Iceland, France, Germany, and Switzerland.
3. I want to have twins (1 boy and 1 girl).

2. I am a mom to a kick bottom little guy.
3. I will be graduating with my BA in May. It is a long time coming. The plan is to get my MA and am applying to programs as I speak.

EJ is growing up too fast!
What exactly is that? Because I can bend my thumbs backwards like that, but I don't think they're clubbed...
Tea Time for Lulu
I don't know whether the two things (the clubbed thumbs and the backwards bending thingy) are related.
Here's a picture of Megan Fox's thumbs. That's what mine look like too:
