I thought I'd start a list of things "about me" that might help you to put a personality with the blog. Maybe I'll add on from time to time...seems like I'll be in this bed for awhile, so why not?!?
1. I was born on a Tuesday night, October 19, 1982.
2. I only mention it being a Tuesday because I love the old poem: Mondays child is fair of face, Tuesdays child is full of grace, Wednesdays child is full of woe, Thursdays child has far to go, Fridays child is loving and giving, Saturdays child works hard for his living, And the child that is born on the Sabbath day, Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
3. I am the oldest of four children.
4. My dad owns a wholesale produce business, which means I never ate canned veggies as a kid.
5. My mom stayed at home with us for a long time, but now she owns a florist.
6. I went to catholic school for 21 years: grammar school, high school, college and law school.
7. I never went to pre-school.
8. My parents followed me on my first school trip with binoculars to make sure I “didn’t get stolen.”
9. My sister Rachel is a hair dresser and has done all sorts of amazing hair related projects, like the Vera Wang bridal fashion show and ad work for magazines. Now she works for this fantastic french product and gives us samples.
10. My sister Katie was on the Amazing Race.
11. My brother Michael is a professional soccer player, for the Seattle Sounders.
12. Normally being a lawyer sounds impressive, but I think my siblings do much more interesting things than I do.
13. My husband does something with finance. I don’t really understand what goes on during his day and wish he was more into office gossip.
14. I met my husband through a mutual friend at a bar, when his friend was trying to hook up with my sister.
15. I knew my future sister in law for years before I ever met my husband. I also knew my future mother in law!
16. About 3 years before I met my husband, I was actually hanging out with his little sister and her best friend (from high school), who is also my sister’s best friend (from grammar school), and I said “I think I’ll marry your brother someday.” Sight unseen!
17. I got married on November 28, 2008.
18. I met my husband about 2 weeks before my birthday in 2006.
19. We only dated for 11 months before he popped the question.
20. My husband asked me to marry him in my bedroom (at my parents house). I was wearing stretch pants and a long sleeved kids size yellow polo shirt from Brooks Brothers. I had just come home from the gym. Considering my outfit, the fact that we dated for less than a year, and how scared he looked, I thought that (a) someone died or (b) he was breaking up with me.
21. My husband and I always knew we wanted to live by the beach. Now we are about 1.5 miles from the ocean.
22. I am a certified yoga instructor.
23. My favorite yoga pose is “half moon.”
24. I was in a Kodak commercial when I was 6 years old.
25. I idolized Madonna when I was younger.
26. My friends and I used to put on a show every summer called the “Juke Box Jam.”
27. I was in the National Honors Society and the Latin Honors Society in High School.
28. I never eat asparagus and I try to stay away from zucchini too.
29. I could eat sushi 5 days a week. I even like unagi.
30. I never met my one grandmother-my dad’s mom. She passed away before my parents got married.
31. I like coming up with potential hobbies, but cannot wrap my mind around starting most of them. Like knitting.
