Someday I’ll try to hit 100 things…but here’s a start:
My two daughters were both lovely surprises … and 7 years apart
Married to the greatest donkey impressionist ever – who also puts up with my crappy television addiction, bless him.
When I was 6 my ballet teacher told my mother I could be a professional dancer, but I was too lazy. I regret it to this day.
I prefer writing in black ink, blue doesn’t look serious enough
In high school my mother made me go to one of those Kaplan SAT courses. I had to drive an hour away twice a week to attend. My SAT’s only went up 40 points so she paid $15.00 per point.
I used to play the french horn – but never liked it because of all the spit.
By the time I was 11 I knew every word to every song of Les Miserables.
I’ve read some books more than 10 times
My first day of college my father and I got in a bad car accident and totaled the rental car. This was literally 2 minutes after we had left the lot…and after he turned down the rental insurance.
When I was 23 I got carded to get into an R movie.
I really hate thongs. I tried to wear one once so I wouldn’t have panty lines – but nothing is worth that discomfort.
My favorite drink is a large hazelnut iced coffee with cream and three Splenda.
My favorite sneakers are Chuck Taylors
One of my most embarrassing moments was during a high school musical rehearsal. My boyfriend and I were both in the play – during a break we went into the music room to make out. By accident he left his mike on – the whole cast and the director heard us.
McDreamy over McSteamy – McSteamy is really not cute at all
Paul used to be my favorite Beatle, now it’s John
I feel really ugly when I wear dark socks with pajama pants
Arrested Development was a really good show, I can’t believe they canceled it. I also can’t believe that Jason Bateman still looks like he’s 18 years old.
I love The Office, but what are they going to do now that Pam and Jim are together? All that lovely Sam & Diane/Tony & Angela sexual tension is gone.
Carrie was my favorite Sex and the City girl until SJP had the baby – her character kind of changed after that.
I have a tattoo on my butt. It wasn’t supposed to go there but I wasn’t specific enough with the tattoo artist I guess.
I’ll kick it off! I really liked the way you did the “Who am I”. It made me think and it made me laugh. It gave me a good peek at you. Memories and a few new things. I’m glad you’re taking some time to write. You are a good writer.
Love your big sister, Gay
Okay, I had to come back and look at these again to process some more. I laughed out loud about “Les Miserables”. You played it over and over in the Airstream trailer, when it was parked at Mel’s Diner. I think we saw the show in Boston.
Don’t know the show “Arrested Development” …guess I’m old, too…like Lori. Don’t watch The Office. I barely watch any TV at all. I maybe get to watch one show a week.
I used to love the Sybill Shephard/Bruce Willis sexual tension show. Wow, that was white hot when I was in college! We used to play quarters, sucking down brews, while we watched it. Me and Barb.
Once, my friend Nancy came over to watch it and we had vodka and diet orange slice soda. It tasted disgusting, but we drank it anyway. Nancy got so drunk, she passed out flat on her back in the hallway (about 20 feet short of the bathroom!). This was in Warren Towers at BU. Largest dorm in the U.S.
I took a picture of her. I still have that picture in my photo album.
Anyway, that show was called moon something. I loved Bruce Willis’ secretary and the boogie guy who was in “Better Off Dead”, the one that had a great quote about how much he could sell the snow for blow on the drug market. What was his name?
I like white chocolate mochas, one less pump of syrup….from Bagelheads, the Baba Café or Starbucks. Drive thrus are great when you’re child is asleep or when you’re too tried to haul the kid in and out of the carseat.
My friend Faith bought most of her Christmas gifts via the Starbucks drive-thru for that very reason. She thinks everything should have a drive thru, so she can just keep her daughter in the car seat when she’s doing errands. She’s 40 with a 2 year old. I can relate.
