10 Fun Facts About Pat Sloan:

1. I don’t think I cut my hair for about 4 years while in High School… luckily hippy stuff was in fashion.
2. I made honor roll often in High School, am part of the National Honor Society, and even in  college made deans list for a spring session (which they told me was very difficult to do)…I am a bit of a smartie pants…I even could do math then. I’ve since given up the math part.
3. My favorite childhood pet was Janice the Hamster. My 6th grade teacher had to write a note to my parents to ask them if I could take her home for the summer (which really meant forever).
4. I used my first computer in 1975. It took up the entire back of our math room. I was the only girl who was interested in it…can we say geek?
5. When in high school I loved to type…I really, really loved to type. I took shorthand and even a self study unit on the shorthand machine. I suck at shorthand…could never read it back
6. I love coffee. (Oh wait…you KNOW that one right?)
7. For a long time I wanted a little herb garden with a white picket fence, all lovely with a little path through it. I’ve come to my senses and order food that is nicely seasoned and look at pretty gardens on the internet.
8. I adore dogs…they are people. You agree, don’t you? Unless you happen to be a cat person, then I believe you think I’m insane.
9. At some point I owned a red camaro. My mother-in-law offered to teach me how to drive fast, really fast, around the curves…is your MIL like that too? (I should have been clued in when I found out she only drove stick and had an MG for awhile.)
10. I have a thing for nail polish…it verges on…well…let’s not go there.
