1.  I love Hawaiian food:  poi, lomi lomi salmon, chicken long rice, poke, opihi, squid luau, kalua pig, mac salad, and rice would make up my favorite "plate lunch."

2.  I am missing a tooth.  When I lost my baby teeth, one permanent tooth didn't emerge and still hasn't.  If it did, I probably would have needed braces because my teeth fit perfectly in my mouth without it.

3.  I collect pins.  Whenever my husband travels for work or we go somewhere new, my trinket is always a pin.  I've collected them since I was in the 6th grade.

4.  I'm a pen junkie.  I love using color in my planner, so I try to buy pen sets that have lots of different colors.

5.  I am a casual knitter.  I like simple projects because I don't have the time to sit and count/change stitches.

6.  Growing up on Molokai, I fished, hunted, dived, surfed, camped on the beach a lot.

7.  I have a bad habit of biting my nails, which is why I'm usually with fake nails.
