Let's do 10 random facts, because it's late and I can't sleep.

1. My name is Cindy, but I've used purplecandlelight online since I first got online.

2. The cover of this book is a picture of my usual drink from my usual coffee shop: almond milk mocha no whip from Tully's.

3. I married my high school sweetheart after dating him for nearly 15 years. And no, it wasn't that he didn't ask, he asked a lot and I kept telling him I wanted to wait. And wait he did.

4. I did the whole college thing when I was younger. I recommend it. It was fun, what I can remember of it.

5. I love to bake! I'm down to try anything in the realm of baking.

6. Oh, have you ever seen the movie 10 Things I Hate About You? That's a real high school in the movie, my high school as a matter of fact. It was filmed at the school the summer before my senior year.

7. In real life I'm pretty quiet and reserved until I get to know you, or I get a few drinks in me.

8. I have one brother. We don't talk or see each other. It's for the best.

9. Writing has been a hobby of mine for years. I always seem to fall back to it when life gets particularly stressful or hard to handle.

10. I have 2 cats and a small dog. The cats don't like the god and the dig ain't real bright. Actually I'm pretty sure the cats are waiting for the perfect time to rise up and take over the whole house.
