Just for fun today, I thought I’d share 50 things you may not know about me.
- I play golf and hockey left-handed (and do everything else right-handed).
- I have a twin brother. (No, we’re not identical.)
- I don’t have a belly button. (Neither does my mom—we both had belly button hernias.)

- I’ve never watched or read Harry Potter, Twilight, or The Hunger Games.
- The only team sport I’ve ever played is rugby and I only played one game.
- I’ve only donated blood once (and I almost fainted). I would again, but I don’t think they accept pregnant or breastfeeding blood donors.

- I’ve never been to an amusement park or ridden a roller coaster.
- I can play violin (a little bit).
