1) I have a really strong sense of smell and often pick smells up when other people can't or before they do

2) I am 5'4 in height, really short guy!

Scared the crap out of my parents when they found out, but, looking back, it's very unlikely my brother or I would have fallen victim to him - we didn't fit into his type of targets.

1. I'm only 5'4, but my oldest daughters are already five feet tall, so they're almost taller than me and they're only 9 1/2.

2. Summer is my favorite time of year because it allows me to recuperate from all the grading. I can lounge around our pool most of the day

3. In addition to teaching high school History, I also coach Cheerleading and am sponsor of the Yoga Club. yoga is one of my favorite pastimes.

4. Me, my husband, and all of our kids have birthdays on the 22nd of different months.

5. My husband and I started dating in high school, and got married when we were 18. He proposed to me in the snow on valentine's day. He wrote the whole message out in the snow, which I thought was absolutely adorable.

6. Few people call me Cecelia, and instead just call me Cece.

7. I've visited 44 countries. My father liked traveling a lot.

8. I like the Simon and Garfunkle Song Cecilia, but it's caused a lot of people to misspell my name and I don't appreciate when people tease me with it.

9. I'm also a girl who prefers a skirt or shorts to pants, though I do like Jeans. I also don't mind wearing heels, and have learned to get used to them. They make me feel taller. They can be a pain sometimes still though.

10. My husband makes lunch for me every day. Which is really sweet and really awesome, especially since he's a good cook.

I've seen all those except Dr Strangelove. Though I hardly remember Princess Bride and Star Wars.

Ok, let's see:

1.  I am sure I saw a ghost one night (and no, I am not referring to my Jesus dream).

2.  I have been backstage at Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails concerts.

3.  I missed meeting Princess Diana by about 3 minutes, by pure dumb luck.

4.  In my lifetime, I have been bitten by an Arctic Wolf, a Cane Corso, a Chihuahua, and a Blue Macaw.

5.  I once rear-ended a cop....who was already pulled-over, and trying to help me.

6.  I went for my first Brazilian wax at a salon at the mall.  It hurt.  Badly.  I told the Aesthetician that after this was over, I was going to go and buy myself an ice-cream cone.  She agreed that was a good idea.  After the appointment, I went and bought the ice cream cone.  But I didn't eat it.  I took it straight outside to my car, got in, lifted my skirt, and stuck the ice cream in my crotch.  True story.

7.  I fell about 30 feet out of a tree during a storm, and walked away.
I cracked a rib, but I didn't know it at the time.  Don't ask why I was up a tree in a storm.

8.  I'm horribly phobic of mould on food.  If I accidentally touch mouldy bread, I am freaked out for a week.

9.  I once managed to pull a bee stinger out of the back of my dog's tongue.  No small feat.

10.  A wild stag once walked right up to me, on a bike path, and laid his head on my chest and kissed my chin.
He was very young.  I'm pretty sure someone had been feeding him, and he was semi-tame.  I know perfectly well that I shouldn't have let him get so close, but I was foolish and captivated.

Don't worry.  My husband SWEARS he saw the Easter Bunny one time.  This was AFTER he knew the Easter Bunny didn't exist.
