Thought I was going to be the first woman in the NBA (I figured if Mugsy Bogues could be at 5'3" then I could be at 5'4" - I failed to realize that he had a ridiculous vertical). Played high school volleyball, basketball, and soccer. Played college soccer. Now, I play yoga.

Sporty casual, with a penchant for designer jeans and handbags.

Also have a bit of a sneaker obsession. In 2nd grade I had to settle for British Knights instead of Jordan IV's because I dragged my mom to 3 shoe stores searching for the white with black and red IV's only to come up empty of any Jordan's at all in the 3rd store where she told me I must choose a shoe at.this.store.now. -- I have never forgiven myself for not choosing the white with grey IV's at the first store. I learned my lesson that day and chose wisely each year thereafter.

I love my pop, I enjoy good iced tea, and I often need iced mochas. As may be evident, I like all my drinks ice cold, regardless of season or time of day.

Moderate, but right of center. I'm Catholic first.

Catholic. To be specific, Dubuque Catholic.

Mike + the Mechanics.

Connection to ND is my brother. Note: I was the one with the ND Starter jacket growing up. He showed his Starter jacket allegiance to the 49ers over ND. (Though he became a 9er fan because of Montana, so he gets a pass there.)
And yes, if not already totally evident, I'm a girl.
