Tag 11 new bloggers and link them on your profile 
Let those 11 bloggers know you tagged them!

So lets see here are 11 fun facts about me!
1- I was born in the same hospital as my dad, at 4:44 in the afternoon, yes 4 is my favorite number.
2- When I was 5 I asked my dad how old you had to be to drive, upon finding out the legal driving age I told my father I would be driving a red sports car when I got my license-yes I was 5!  I am still waiting for that red sports car... 
3- I think shopping is sometimes the best cure for a bad day!

  3. How short are you?! :) I hear you on the dietitian thing, but I'd like to be a holistic one just because i don't completely agree with regular dietitian's with our food pyramid and all. They once told me to feed my daughter avocado mashed with butter and cream to fatten my baby up. She wasn't even underweight! I just stuck with avocados. :)
