Five Random Things About Suzie
1. I don't like coffee. Doesn't matter how much sugar or other stuff is in there. Just don't like it. I'm a tea girl.
2. I'm a super introvert. My couch, a good book, and delivery sounds like an amazing Saturday night to me.
3. I have a gorgeous unused $6000 Reem Acra wedding dress hanging in my closet (long story).
4. I live close enough to walk to the New Leaf office everyday which is pretty much living the dream.
5. If the zombie apocalypse (or an apocalypse of any kind) happens, my first priority is saving my dogs.
