So, yeah - we already did the intro, right? Right. So now we're going to do this 30 day meme floating around forever ago (which I am stealing from Cori. Obviously when you're blogging, you want to find an excuse to talk about yourself. And this is a 30 day thing, which will help me get back into the swing of things. And so... here we go.
Day 01: A recent picture of you, and 15 interesting facts about yourself
I took
this picture last weekend as I was getting ready for a night out. It's rare for Jason and I to get a nigh t out without kids to come home to, so I went a bit overboard with the eyeliner and actually ironed my hair. Woo.
Now for the (not so) interesting things about me.
01 I've been wearing the same shade of lipstick (Clinique Black Honey) since 1994 when I asked Yoanna House what color she was wearing. I was a senior, she was a freshman, and we were standing at school next to t he lone Coke machine on campus.
02 I've colored my hair since the summer between 7th and 8th grade, up until 2 years ago. My hair is at its natural shade now, and I am itching to get it back to something I prefer, but time and money are keeping me from making this happen.
03 I believe there is a scene from an episode of Sex and the City that applies to every life situation.
04 I love my kids more than words can say, but I am not a person who is fond of children and I find myself at a loss when I'm encountered with children that are not mine or those of a close friend/relative.
05 I donated my hair to Locks of Love last year and instantly regretted it - kind of. I am more than happy and honored to help kids in need, but I really miss that 10 inches of hair.
06 Both of my babies were born via C-Section - Hunter because of a nursing error and Sophia due to an emergency. Deliveries are always dramatic, but daaamn.
07 I drive too fast and I like it.
08 I go to Target more than anyone else I know.
09 I was an English Ed major in college, but never bothered to finish. I don't regret it. Usually.
10 My parents divorced when I was 24. I had been waiting for it to happen since I was 13. That didn't make it any easier.
11 I've always wanted to be Jewish.
12 I remember my parents taking me to the premiere of Return of the Jedi in 1983 when I was 5. I don't really remember the movie, just standing in line.
13 I prefer wearing high heels (3" or more) with my jeans. My weight in the past year or so has stopped me from doing so - now that I've slimmed down a bit, I've started wearing them again, even though the parking lot at work is very big.
14 I really, really, look forward to Saturday morning yoga class. I feel that the studio I was lucky enough to find is a real safe haven for me.
15 I cook dinner for my family 5-6 nights a week.
