I will trade you 20 random facts about myself for 20 random facts about you. Who are you people, anyway? (Hi Dad! You should do this on your blog since you only have one post and it's from 2008.)

Link up to your "20 Truths and No Lies" blog or just leave a really long comment with your truths.

1. My favorite show is So You Think You Can Dance.

2. I used to hate cats. Now I have two. Compromises of marriage. I like my cats.

3. My acting career began when I looked in the yellow pages and called a talent agent when I was nine years old.

4. My favorite book is Same Kind of Different as Me.

5. I don't like OPF (other people's feet) so don't ask me to rub yours. Unless you are my child and you are under the age of 10.


6. When I was about 11 I punched a kid in the back when we were in line at the water slide park because he was being a smart allic. So you probably shouldn't mess with me.

7. My husband and I eat popcorn (that he makes in the whirly pop) at least 3 times a week.

8. We don't have a microwave.

9. I love hot chocolate, but only good stuff. My favorite is from the Bittersweet Chocolate Cafe in Oakland.

10. We are off and on with cable television due to the cost. Right now we don't have it. We have a few shows we watch and use Hulu.

11. I am 5'1" and weigh 120 lbs -- give or take a few depending on the week. When I hear about women who are 5'9" and weigh 120 lbs I think Wow, that's nuts. They must have no nutrients. I don't think women should obsess about weight. Don't worry about the number on the scale. Don't aim for thin or skinny. Get healthy. Be fit. Accept your body type.

12. Some of my favorite movies are Dead Man Walking, Fletch, Dumb and Dumber, Juno, Blood Diamond and more recently . . . The Fighter.

13. I have never seen Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, There's Something About Mary or Crossroads.

14. I have never been one for exercise by DVD, but it has been really cold outside and I don't belong to a gym. Since Christmas I have been doing Insanity and I like it in a it's-kicking-my-butt kind of way.

15. Shiloh and I love to play cribbage and Settlers of Catan.

16. Shiloh and I met on a retreat with the college group of Bel Air Presbyterian when we were juniors at UCLA.

17. I have a lot of alcoholics in my family which plays a role in the fact that I don't drink alcohol. Never have.

18. Because of my acting career, I changed high school five times and did a lot of my schooling on set.

19. I self-published my book Totally Desperate Mom using the services of Winepress Publishing (professional editor/coach, design team, proofreaders, etc.) and did not submit it to any publishers or agents. I've been meaning to write a post about why I did that, but just haven't gotten to it yet.

20. I have thought about writing a book called I love Jesus and I Send my Kids to Public School.

How about you??? I would love to hear some truths about you and your life and your interests. I'm serious. Do we have anything in common? I would love to know about my virtual friends. And if I know you in real life . . . surprise me.
