Well, hi there! It seems like these days, I know a lot more yogis than I do cooks – so who better than to profile but, uh, ME! I’m Laura, creative director, head honcho, diva supreme and CEO of this here site, Prana & Pie. Here are 20 things about me that I’m sure you didn’t know (unless you’re my parents, and in that case: Hi, Mom and Dad!)
1. The bed has to be made before I’ll get in it.
2. My front four teeth are chipped. I got them bonded when I was 14, and the bonding’s still there.
3. The veins on my left hand spell “YO”.
4. My first pet was Tootsie the hamster. She fell off a swivel chair. R.I.P., Tootsie.
5. I made my prom dress.
6. I won the class spelling bee in second grade, but was too shy to advance to the school-wide spelling bee, so I let the runner-up advance instead.
7. I’ve never broken a bone.
8. I saw The Exorcist when I was 12, and I was convinced the same thing would happen to me. I’m still deathly afraid of the movie.
9. I make songs up about mundane things and sing them to my dogs. Really, really off-key.
10. I stick hairs on the shower wall and then forget to take them off. Eric is not happy about this.
11. My dad used to define time for me in Scooby Doo episodes: “This will take about one and a half Scooby Doo episodes, darlin’.”
12. I learned to drive in a 1963 Saab. I was 10.
13. Splenda makes my tongue numb.
14. I once had my mom sew a Guess label onto my Wal-Mart jeans because I wanted to look cool.
15. I have a habit of standing on the outer edges of my feet when I’m barefoot.
16. I can sing the entire Red Hot Chili Peppers album BloodSugarSexMagik from beginning to end.
17. I wanted to be a UN interpreter. Then life happened.
18. I drink my coffee black.
19. I had a childhood crush on Mike Nesmith from The Monkees. I didn’t realize the show was already 20 years old.
20. I went to a plastic surgeon to have two moles removed. They grew back.

Hi, I'm Laura, and I'm a passionate foodie and a rough-and-tumble yogini. You can usually find me whipping up something tasty in the kitchen, rocking my warrior on my 'Duka, or blogging away at my kitchen table. Wherever I am, I'm glad you're here. 
You do realize you’ve just screwed yourself by typing, “I’ve never broken a bone.”
I seriously hope you knocked all kinds o’ wood after that.
xo.
I did, indeed!
I do #10 too. It’s driven everyone I’ve ever lived with crazy. I’ve never heard another person admit to doing this. *high-five*
*high-five*
#9 must run in the family – that sounds like Becca.
I definitely remember #11 and Bill & I thought it was brilliant!
And finally I remember coming to visit ya’ll when you were 2 and you were obsessed with the Monkees. We knew then that you would be a cool kid!
#9 definitely runs in the family. It’s funny you mention your visit in ’82 – I just came across those pictures the other day! I’ll scan one and post it on your FB wall. Love you, Aunt Deb!
I stick my hairs on the shower wall too! Sage calls it my hair farm.
HAIR FARM! Hah!
Thanks for the memories. I still have that Guess label and the pattern for the prom dress should you ever need them again. Am thinking you’re now measuring time in terms of Mad Men episodes?
Oh, Moooom. (Bev’s sitting here, telling me what to say.) And I’m so glad you still have that pattern, in case I ever wanted to revisit 1996.
