Bet Ya Didn’t Know (a Whimsical Wednesday post)

Happy Wednesday blog friends! For today’s Whimsical Wednesday post, I thought I’d share some “fun facts” about me. You know…a few little tidbits I bet ya didn’t know. These are not your typical, “my favorite color is…” type facts. These ten represent those rarer peaks into the life of Leah.

Here we go…

1. Many of you know I’m a HUGE Carolina Panthers fan, but did you know that I used to “play” in a Fantasy Football league and made the playoffs both years that I played?
2. I can’t stand applesauce! I love raw apples, apple pie a-la-mode, apple fritters, apple cake…but, applesauce…well, it simply makes me gag (must be a texture thing).
3. On the other hand, I LOVE Mexican food! The hotter, the better. And, I’m a bit of a “salsa snob”.
4. I’m also what some would dub a “thrill seeker”. I’m actually hoping to skydive one day! I’ve already been parasailing and would do that again in a heartbeat!
5. One of my most favorite vacations ever was eight years ago when my little munchkin and I toured Laura Ingalls Wilder homesites in Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Iowa. We traveled over 2500 miles in less than a week, and she was such a great traveling companion (at the age of eight!).
6. My husband and I honeymooned during a hurricane. We were stuck in Miami for a few extra days, as a result!
7. The very first concert I attended was The Go-Go’s in Asheville, NC when I was a young girl. My mother’s boss at the time (an attorney for a large law firm in town) treated his two girls and me to the show.
8. I rode an elephant (when I was two).
9. In 1988, I was in two automobile accidents and one skiing accident resulting in having to wear a neck brace all three times. I guess you can say that year was a bit of a “pain in the neck”. 🙂
10. On a whim, I once traveled to Pittsburgh, PA (from Asheville, NC) just to eat at a seafood restaurant that I first encountered on a business trip three weeks prior. Got there in time for a 5:30 dinner reservation, spent the night and headed home by 5:30 am the following morning.

There you have it…10 random Leah facts! Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday…Friday’s just around the corner. 🙂
