I'm kind of an open book.
So 15 Interesting Facts isn't as challenging as "15 Interesting Facts People Don't Already Know."
Well, here goes.
1. I am 3/4 French Canadian and 1/4 Ukrainian. Yet somehow I feel Ukrainian, 100%.
I think this is because I was very close with and attached to my Grammy, Stasia "Stella", who contributes that 25% Ukrainian blood. I always loved her "Ukrainian" looks--blonde hair, blue eyes, general "fanciness" and her cooking. I also feel like the females in her family were nurturing but feisty, which feels like me.
2. I am a person of varied interests. I love almost everything. Even my handwriting varies day to day. (I worry that I'm a psychopath lol.) I can't choose between the beach and the mountains. I love girls night out AND playing co-ed softball. I like dressing up for weddings and also I like wearing sweatpants in public. I like getting out and having fun--I also love staying home. I love beer, wine, hard liquor, and blended drinks. I like coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. I like summer, and winter. And fall. And spring. I like my hair blonde. But also brown. Not that I drink soda--but I can't even pick a favorite soda! It's a three way tie between coca cola, sprite and orange soda. And fresca. And ginger ale. See the problem??? I often have trouble predicting what others will like, because the way I see it, it's all good!
3. My mind works faster than most people. I don't mean this to be condescending. It's actually a problem, because it causes me to be impatient and panicked. If you're always 10 steps ahead, life is exhausting. One thing I'm working on, for myself, is to SLOW THE F*** DOWN. Life's too short. I know it's easy for some people. Not easy for me.
4. I am, as a general rule, super-invested and careful with my friendships.
When I choose a "friend"--I commit--and will, in most instances, go above and beyond if I am needed.
5. When I was 19 I had my butt crack amputated.
For details, see me personally.
6. I've never broken a bone, fired a gun, or been to Nantucket. I know. Weird.
7. My favorite name for a little girl is Lia and my favorite for a boy is Aaron.
I said it here publicly, steal them and I'll cut you.
8. My niece, Penelope is 7 months old. I rarely see her. Those who know me know the story.
I also think that she looks a lot like my mom...
And those who know the whole story will find this ESPECIALLY ironic. ha. They are both gorgeous, in my unbiased opinion. :)
9. My top 5 "must haves" in a home are: basement/storage space, neighborhood/backyard, 3 bedrooms, a 2nd toilet, and no creepy "vibes" when I walk in the front door.
10. I have disordered eating and body dysmorphic disorder, both relatively mild, compared to others who have them. They are not mild, however, in my day-to-day life.
11. Brian and I met on eHarmony. I'm pretty sure some of his friends and family still think we met at Patriot Place (an awkward lie we once told at a party) and now we can't correct them. Bahaha. Awkward is right. Nobody mention eHarmony at the wedding!!!
12. I bought this Calvin Klein Stretch satin dress in 2010 and wore it to Rachael's Wedding, wearing approximately 12 pairs of Spanx.
I love it so much that I have altered it TWICE so that I didn't have to stop wearing it, even though I lost weight. I am clearly obsessed.
13. I get very attached to items that work well for me. These include: Seven Jeans (from Marshalls/TJ Maxx of course--I'm not RICH), Asics sneakers, Gap Body undies, Jockey work out pants, Ann Taylor loft soft t-shirts, Old Navy ribbed tank tops, Herbal Essences mousse, Garnier BB Cream, Lancome mascara, and EOS lip balm.
14. I am an obsessive fan of "The Office", "Arrested Development", and "Sex & the City". I own these series, in completion, on DVD.
15. My goal in life is to be happy and balanced.
Everything else falls into place.
