Here are the Rules: 

1. Each person must post 11 random facts about themselves
2. Answer 11 questions the tagger has given you and give 11 questions for the people you tagged
3. Choose 11 people and link them in your post
4. Tell them you've tagged them
5. Remember, no tag backs

Ok, here goes....

My 11 Random Facts

1.  I never attended public school.

5.  I am addicted to British TV shows.
6.  Whenever I eat chips or pretzels I always eat the smallest ones first...it's not even something I think about I just do it!

8.  I adore beautiful men, I have a file of photos of actors that I like on my computer and a "Boy's...sigh" board on Pinterest. My husband doesn't mind, in fact, I think this is why we have been married for so long without any major fighting!
