11 Things About Me:

1. I went to an all women’s college and hated it.  I should have transferred Sophomore year but instead I stuck it out.  When other people get nostalgic for college, I don’t at all.

2. I don’t own a hair dryer and never wear makeup.  I don’t even own mascara.

3. I wear earplugs to bed every night.  The husband snores and even if I move to a different room, the noise wakes me up.

4. I have worked since I was 16 and now that I’m not, I don’t miss it at all.

5. I ran the 2008 NYC Half Marathon as my 1st and won my entry via lottery.  I think it was fate.

6. My sisters and I are obsessed with the TV movie “Love, Lies & Murder”, the story about Cinnamon Brown.  Whenever it’s on, we text or call each other to talk about how it creeps us out.  Every time I see The Mentalist, I always think of this movie.

7. I could watch the ID channel all day long and not get bored. The husband doesn’t get my love of real life crime shows.

8. I love a good political scandal.  Blago? So great.  Weiner? Even better. Spitzer? THE BEST!

9. I always said I would never marry a man who works in finance or a man from Staten Island.  The husband is both.

10.  I almost majored in Biology in college, I was only one class short.  After I have  the Little Fella, I am going to get my nursing degree.  I’ve always wanted to be a nurse.

11.  My grandmother passed away in 2004 and I still miss her everyday.

Questions for me from Brittany and Kate (I’m splitting it):

1. What’s your favorite kind of shampoo? – I’m no frills and stick with Pantene

2. What activities did you participate in high school? – I ran x-c, winter track and spring track

3. What’s the worst injury you ever had? – In 1994, I went skiing and tore my ACL (and a bunch of others).  Back then the surgery wasn’t easy and it took me almost a year to recover.

4. What celebrity do you most resemble? – I don’t think I look like any celebrity but people say I look like Uncle Jesse’s wife on Full House.

Photo Source - I don’t see it but that’s what people tell me.

5. If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be? – I wish I had gone to a different college.

6. Which of your parents are you most like? – Definitely my dad

7. Do you still read newspapers? – Nope

8. Be honest – Do you like McDonald’s? – I’m lovin’ it!

9. Do you prefer crosswords or soduku? – I don’t do either

10. What is your least favorite household chore? – I hate all cleaning but if I had to choose, it would be cleaning my drawers.

11. If I told you my birthday, could you tell me my star sign? – I could try but would probably get it wrong.
