100 Things About Me

1. I am a Virgo. Every description of Virgo I find to read says that I am to be overly organized and a neat freak. Apparently the authors have never discussed this with me.

2. I believe in ghosts, spirits and angels.

3. I can be bribed with chocolate cake.

4. One of my guilty pleasures in life is a cheesey '80s movie. Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Weird Science and the like.

5. My kid dresses better than I do right now.

6. I like to be tan. I'm such a rebel.

7. I secretly wish that my baby had green eyes and not blue.

8. I could survive for the rest of my life on Swordfish Tacos from Costa Azul on Coronado Island.

9. I match my bras and panties to whatever I'm wearing that day. If I change shirt colors, I change my underwear. I'm weird like that.

10. The only time I like doing crossword puzzles is over breakfast with my husband.

11. I seem to think that I am able to read minds. I am now (finally) finding that all I do is get myself into trouble.

12. I'm a spa junkie. Massages, wraps, facials, steam rooms, vichy showers. It's all good.

13. Green peppers suck.

14. I wish I was Hermionie Granger.

15. I never in a million years thought I would be such a breastfeeding advocate. How I surprise myself.

16. Sometimes I think too much.

17. I'm a natural brunette and I like it that way!

18. I like naps.

19. I love that I have crazy-real dreams nearly every night and sometimes they continue if I wake up and fall back to sleep. Love it!!!

20. I'm allergic to book mold. This is incredibly tragic for me as I love to read. I've had to put books down because I can't breathe from the mold.

21. I hate it that 90% of off-the-rack clothing actually fits about 10% of the population of women. Who the hell do they design this crap for, anyway. Oh... stick insects? Ah. OK. That explains it.

22. I don't understand how anyone in their right mind could possibly like mayo. If I even see a commercial for it I gag. *shudder*

23. I love that I'm a better swimmer than my husband and he's an ex-Navy Seal. Tee hee.

24. Dark chocolate. Need I say more?

25. I really wish I had kept in better touch with my childhood friends. I think they think the same thing about themselves. We always say we'll write or talk more, but then we all get pulled in different directions. Sad, really.

26. I'm fiercely loyal - but right at this moment I'm having a lot of trouble with that one.

27. I love yoga. Bikram, Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa... bring it on!

28. Mmmmmm... sushi.

29. I'm a registered Republican, but I'm absolutely disgusted by the current administration. I won't participate in the fashionable "Bush Bashing", however, as I think it opens the door for more terrorism - they can see our vulnerability and division as a country splashed all over CNN and MSNBC. I just hope this next election brings promise.

30. I love Buddhist philosophy.

31. My kid is a lightbulb.

32. I'm a recycling freak. I have been dubbed "Captain Planet".

33. I would be happy living in Alaska. I am so not a SoCal girl.

34. Ann Taylor rocks. Have you seen the shoes??? Love love love!!!

35. I love wearing dresses and skirts. It's so easy to look smashingly feminine with next to no effort at all.

36. I feel exceedingly guilty if I "cheat" on my hairdresser.

37. I can eat an entire box of Weight Watchers desserts in one sitting. I amaze myself sometimes. Oh the irony.

38. I love going to watch the local marathons. One - because I miss running them myself and the adrenaline rush is contagious, and two - just to watch the Kenyans kick ass!

39. I want to visit Machu Picchu before I die.

40. But... I need to renew my passport first.

41. My new juicer is amazing. I can put in whole apples and beets and it cleans up so easily!

42. I think it's hysterical that my kid is afraid of doorstops and the rubber ducky, but has no problem launching himself off the side of the bed.

43. I also find it exceedingly funny that he shows everybody he meets where his nose is... with his middle finger. That's my boy!

44. I love my job. Nothing like becoming the Construction Project Manager overnight. Hang on to your socks - trial by fire, here we go!!! (This is what I wanted, right?)

45.
