1. My favorite color is bright yellow-orange in dishes, paintings, cars, and paper.
2. My favorite thing to wear is whatever I feel most comfortable/confident in at the time.

4. I love working out but only have an hour and 15 minutes at work to do it on my lunch break. Better than nothing.

6. I've been a legal assistant since 1991.
7. My dad called me Sunshine Girl when I was little, much to the chagrin of my sisters. I don't think he'd pick that name for me these days.
