I'm always on the lookout for ways to transition my summer dresses to fall weather. I think olive green tights always make an outfit feel more autumn-y. Or Robin Hood-y. Or elf-y. You pick.

Sometimes, I sit in front of my computer for hours trying to figure out what to write in these little text blurbs. Luckily, I already have something planned today. The lovely Rebecca of Rebecca with an R asked me to participate in her Little Facts! Here are a few facts about me:
  • Asymmetry. My left eyelashes are longer than my right eyelashes. I don't know how that happened.
  • Soap operas. I used to watch soap operas with my mom when I was younger. Which might explain why I have this irrational fear about getting in some sort of accident and having my memory erased.
  • Cars. I used to sit on phone books when I first started driving (I am kind of short). Nowadays a cushion will do, but I still can never figure out the width of my car while I'm driving... For example, that time I backed out of my parent's garage (in my parent's car) and accidentally tore off the side mirror. I drove around for weeks with it held together with duct tape.

  6. One of my first cars had a bench seat in the front (it was old, okay??) and I could NEVER get it moved forward far enough.  My dad had to rig something up so it was high enough for me to reach the pedals.

  7. OMG Kristine!  I cannot wait to do these little facts today too, for that same reason.  Anything that gives me inspiration on the writing front is a good one!  I totally tore the passenger side mirror off of the car I drive now backing out of the garage too!  LOL AND I used to watch General Hospital and One Life to Live with my grandma all the time when I was little.  I was like 10 and being like "Sarah and Jaimie are SISTERS?!?!?!"  lol

    I love your olive tights.  You are right--perfect for fall.  But no one better call me Robin Hood.  I've had enough of those shenanigans!
