12 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Bess…
1. This February marks the 1st full year of living by myself in my apartment + the 2 year anniversary of Bess’ Bag!
2. I’ve been on 9 airplane flights {all of which by myself}… one of which I didn’t think I’d survive. Nothing is more unnerving than being on a tiny craft, in the dark night sky, experiencing turbulence with a passenger screaming bloody murder behind you, & thunder clouds lighting up outside your window. Eeek!
3. I love pumpkin pie + the scent of it!
4. Most every New Year’s one of my resolutions is to “have adventures.” What can I say, I love ‘em!
5. Provided there’s no passengers, I always sing along with the car radio.
6. I wore a fancy ball gown on New Year’s Eve {only I was having a solo celebration @ my apartment – so no one got to see}. =)
7. I work in an inner city area.
8. {I hate to admit this.} I’ve never turned on the stove in my apartment! Yep, I’m not gifted in cookery.
9. I wear glasses!
10. I live literally less than a minute’s drive away from my church.
11. I bought a new {to me} car in December, cause my other one was duck taped together & considered “undrivable.” Ha! Undrivable, you say? I drove it!
12. At night when I can’t sleep, I like to think up the perfect baby names. =)

12 Things to Remember in 2012…
