Hey everyone!
The new album is out and things are sure picking up around here! I thought I'd take a break from packing my suitcase (I'm headed to NYC next week for promo and a performance at Anna Wintour's AMFAR gala!) to sit down and catch up with yall. A lot of my friends have been writing up these list '25 Things' lists and I thought this would be the perfect way for you to get to know me a little better. Bet you wouldn't have guessed #11 about me!
More soon,
Renee

25 Things
1. I looooove to cook and I'm addicted to the Food Network.
2. I have a slight southern accent that gets increasingly stronger the longer I spend @ home in Texas.
3. Halloween is my favorite holiday.
4. I have a rescued pit bull named Ella Fitzgerald.
5. For years I thought I was 5'3 1/2 but I recently found out that I'm actually 5'2 1/4. It was a very big deal!
6. I'm a sucker for classic cars and the boys that drive them.
7. I wear high heels nearly every day (see #5)
8. I have trouble sleeping in. Or staying in bed when I'm awake.
9. My friends inspire me.
10. Having 3 songs that I wrote on my new album is surreal to me. The first time I sang anything that I had written for David (my producer) I lied and said that my friend had written it until I could gauge a reaction!
11. I think feet are really gross.
12. I attended Catholic school.
13. I love to dance but never have ANY idea what I'm doing.
14. I'm a natural redhead and I would never dye my hair any other color.
15. I've never gotten a speeding ticket but I've been rear ended 3 times in the last year.
16. I love to throw dinner parties. (Last Thanksgiving I successfully cooked for//fed 20 of my closest friends!)
17. My favorite color is red and my lucky number is 9.
18. I hate olives.
19. I wear Agent Provocateur perfume everyday.
20. My underwear ALWAYS has to match.
21. My heritage is Norwegian, not Irish as many people think.
22. I'm a vegetarian.
23. My favorite artist is Billie Holiday and my favorite record of her "Lady in Satin"
24. I hate being misquoted in interviews (It happens a LOT)
25. I always try to do at least one nice thing for someone else everyday.
