Certain Things You Never Knew About Me

1. I dislike all things bubbly with 2 exceptions - baths or friends

2. Hold the ice please, I like my water room temp

4. Sometimes I mix up Jackson (my son) and Dunkin (my dog) names with each other

5. I waited in line for 2 hours when I was 9 months pregnant in 2001 to get into a sample sale to buy pink Gucci baby loafers. No regrets! Especially since they amortized over 2 daughters

6. I have awful karma with technology - I touch something electronic and it just doesn’t work. If you’ve ever been with me near any tech, you probably know that thing about me

7. I learned how to do a headstand at age 42

8. I’ve ski-ed once in my life and that was enough for me to decide I prefer the Apres Ski experience to actually going down the mountain

9. My refrigerator does not actually look like pictures on Instagram all the time!

10. I love to entertain but I prefer making it look pretty over actually cooking the food

11. I’d rather be cold than hot; I’ll take 20 degrees and snowing over 95 and humid any day

13. I love people but I also love alone time

14. I am a binge reader

19. I still have mix tapes my friends made for me in the 90s but I sadly don’t have a tape recorder to play them on…

20. My first alcoholic drink was a Long Island Iced Tea…in a snapple bottle sipped on the Long Island Rail Road

21. The most valuable skill I ever learned in school was how to type

22. I looooove Karaoke - I sing in the car (try not to embarrass my kids in carpool but sometimes the music just hits and I have to… and the shower; shower singing seems to be a trait I have passed on)

23. I’m a member of Overthinkers Anonymous

24. I have severe wanderlust and a travel bucket list pages long (but also want to keep going back to the places I love)

42. I’m a master procrastinator

43. My spirit of choice is Tequila. I learned the hard way that vodka is not my friend
