10. I am a New Year’s baby

---

Me too. Are you 12/31 or 1/1?

1. I got into a car accident about a year ago and it changed my whole outlook. I realized that I wasn't happy with my job and what was going on in my life. I am really proud that a lot of positive things came out of that negative thing.

2. I went to culinary school with the intention of never being a 'restaurant chef'. I love love love to entertain and teach cooking classes. I really dislike cooking on such a large scale even though it fascinates me how a kitchen can flow when serving 500+ people.

3. I turned down a $40,000 scholarship and I don't regret it at all.

4. I really really love my job. I work for NYC SchoolFood and I can see myself working there forever. I love that I am able to use both of my degrees everyday.

5. DH and I met in high school in our sophomore year but we didn't start dating until our senior year. When we had our first kiss, my knees literally went weak and I knew that second that I was going to marry him.

6. Two of my favorite bands are Fall Out Boy and Alkaline Trio. I love to just crank the music up in my car, drive really fast, tap my left foot to the beat, and sing as loud as I can. (I also do a little shoulder dance sometimes lol).

7. People ask me how I remember everything and it's because I write literally everything down.

8. I am the best at keeping secrets.

9. I used to stress out a lot. I still stress out a little. DH has really helped me with this. I put a ton of pressure on myself and a lot of times it's unrealistic.

10. I don't like to do my hair and makeup the same everyday.

11. I am obsessed with Bare Essentials makeup. I love to play around with combinations of color.

12. If I won the lottery, I would move to Europe and take all of my family with me so I'd never have to miss them.

13. I would love to be on The Next Food Network Star and I think someday I will apply.

14. I love my iPhone and Macbook. They make my life so much easier. I use the maps on my phone every single day.

15. I absolutely love going grocery shopping and have ever since I was a kid.

16. I have over 100 cookbooks and I use them mostly as a reference. When I want to make a specific dish I look at a ton of recipes for the same thing and take little things I like from each recipe and add some things to make it my own.

17. My room is always messy with clothes everywhere. DH and I both do it so we have to both clean up together.

18. DH and I are going to buy a house this year. We've been really frugal and saving money. It's really exciting to see our money building up.

19. I worked full-time and went to school full-time and I learned so much from this experience. Time management is the most valuable thing I learned.

20. When my DH is away I won't go to sleep until at least 4 AM.

21. I started dancing when I was 5 and I competed regionally and nationally for 10 years. I miss it a lot.

22. Reese's PB cups and 3 Musketeers are my favorite candy bars.

23. I am the only one of my friends that gets carded when we go to a bar. I'm so over it.

24. Gap is my favorite store. Half of my closet is from that store. I often buy the same sweater in 2 or 3 colors and DH always makes fun of me for this.

25. It took me 3 tries to pass my road test.

C&P from FB:
1. I am married to my high school sweetheart.
2. Biting into a tomato makes me gag.
3. I go to Church every weekend, usually Saturday night.
4. I STILL don't drive on highways, the thought of it gives me hives.
5. I randomly break out into hives when I get nervous. The last time this happened was bc a stranger called me a c*nt over the phone!
6. Even thinking of a raisin makes me feel sick.
7. I set out everything for work the night before. EVERYTHING: clothes, travel mug, purse, etc. My kitchen is like a staging area.
8. I can, and have, slept 20 hours.
9. I cry at least once a day.
10. When I tell people what my job is, the usually make a face BUT I love my job.
11. Before I got married, my mom made me tea every single morning but now I won't let her!
12. My favorite place outside of the US is Linguaglossa <3
13. My favorite place in the US is Key West.
14.I eat the same thing every single day when possible - to make it easier to calorie count.
15. I do the above bc I gained TWENTY lbs after my wedding!
16. My husband and I hang out with the same two couples every single Saturday and I wouldnt have it any other way.
17. I cant leave the house with an unmade bed
18. I cant go to sleep with dishes in the sink.
19. I havent missed an episode of General Hospital in years.
20. I probably DVR over 50 shows a week.
21. I feel guilty every time I eat meat on Friday bc I grew up thinking it was a sin.
22. I can eat an entire Chipotle burrito in about 5 minutes flat. I do it every time, and finish the whole thing - it is so strange bc I can never finish most of my meals!
23. My greatest accomplishment is getting my Masters in English even though I don't use it.
24. My only skill/talent/purpose in life was being an AMAZING student - I had a hard time when I graduated and entered the 'real world'
25. My husband puts gas in my car every week and warms up my car for me when it is snowing :)

26. When my friends ask for advice I don't sugarcoat anything. I tell it exactly like it is. Some of them love that about me and some of them don't.

27. When I was a kid I used to pretend to have my own cooking show. I would make recipes and explain every step I was taking and why. I swear my mom would stand right outside the kitchen so she could hear.

1. I HATE that I've given in to writing one of these damn things. I never used to 'forward' forwards or those stupid emails. I try to avoid trends (SATC, Harry Potter,coach bags, tight *** jeans) but always eventually give in.(SIGH)

2. I love to eat. I actually find it fun. I hate breakfast foods though and rather eat lunch food or snack food for breakfast. I also eat in trends. I'll go into a kick and eat one thing all the time until I'm sick of it and then switch to something else. My current snack trend is mallomars...DANGEROUS.

3. I wish I had the patience to sit and write. I want to write a book about college, we have so many good stories. I'd also like to write a book about past relationships and what I went through on the way to Joe (the good, bad, and ugly) but am afraid of how personal it would be.

4. I was a compulsive liar when I was little. I lied about EVERYTHING. I wanted my life to be completely different (even though it was a typical happy childhood). I don't know when I stopped lying...probably after getting caught on some major things but now my stomach turns if I even attempt to lie.

5. I always wanted to be an actress (and still do...I guess that's where the lying skills come into use). My mom told me it was too hard and I wouldn't make it though. Now I know that sounds terrible, and I remember the exact moment she told me that sitting on the floor blow drying her hair, but I can see where she was coming from.

6. I graduated 17th from Cortland after bombing my high school rank when I was a punk in middle school and thought it would be cool to fail (and smoke cigarette's and light fires in the woods). People don't believe I had a 'bad-***' streak.

7. For whatever reason, up until college I always had what I called 'latched on' friendships. It was me and one other person, joined at the hip and did EVERYTHING together.

8. I had a guy urinate on and completely ruin my laptop in college AND try to blame it on me EXACTLY one year TO THE FREAKING DAY a guy peed in the bed with me in it. (see number 3)

9. I believe experiences make you who you are. I am eternally grateful for the college experience and meeting some of the most amazing people ever. I would have been a lost cause without them (with bangs) and HATE the fact that I can't have them with me every second of the day to do nothing with them.

10. I hate that my back is so bad. I feel like it's turned me into a lazy, cheating, person. Cheating in the sense that I always have the itch 'to take the shortcut' when the long road has much better outcomes, though it's long. I miss racewalking and running. I'm fearful that I'll never be able to do it again.

11. For whatever odd reason, the library makes me have to poop.

12. I've been known to be a bit of a stone face and never show emotions when it comes to watching tv or movies. Meeting Joe has turned me into a cry baby though and will finally cry at sad movies and shows (SOMETIMES which is a lot for me), but I still rarely laugh out. I think things are funny, but I just don't laugh out loud. I always get scared when I'm with someone new that they'll think I'm a freak for not laughing when we're watching something funny.

13. I miss my childhood doggies, Dingles, Sandy and Casey more than you can imagine. I still randomly call out Casey's name at my mom's house just because it feels right.

14. Family vacations are my favorite memories of being a family of 5. Being the youngest my sister was married when I was 13 so I feel it wasn't the 5 of us for very long, but there's something about rollercoasters and hanging out in the fag wag that I truly miss.

15. I can see and feel myself getting older everyday and I hate it. I was extremely self conscious as a kid (no boy would even look at me) and really didn't feel good about how I looked till after college. Now I feel those days are numbered.

16. I honestly and truly believed I was going to grow up to be a cat lady. I was going to have a shack on the side of the road with tons of weeds and a million stray cats (when I don't really like cats except for Joey) and wear moo-moo's and slippers. I am amazed and lucky that I found someone who loves me for me (even though he would pretend to you that he didn't).

17. I stripped and gave a really old man a lap dance in a bar contest, and won.

18. I grew up on boxed food and was amazed when I lived off campus with my girls in college that soup didn't have to come in a can and real mashed potatoes weren't a restaurant only thing.

19. I'm jealous of people who drink coffee and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. What's wrong with me? Why don't I like 2 of the most popular food items ever??? I occasionally try each every now and then to see if I've 'grown' to like them.....but always end up gagging.

20. I suffer from Marsha Brady syndrome and have to brush and fix my hair all the time. My roommates would mess up my hair and try and time me to see how long I could last before brushing it. Let's say I didn't last long. The whole coach wristlet fad has killed me too because I can't fit a brush in those tiny bags...

21. I love to people watch. Joe yells at me all the time but I find it fascinating. I've always wanted to do a study to estimate how many faces someone see's in a life time. Just think how crazy that number is.

22. I make a mean waffle.

23. I've worn the same lipstick for over 10 years now. When they discontinued it I went all over and bought as many tubes as possible. I recently ran out of my stash and went onto ebay to buy more. PATHETIC.

24. My brother and I used to play a game we called 'bumper bellies.' We would stuff ourselves with blankets and pillows. Then we we run at each other full speed from opposite ends of the hallways until we crashed in the middle. It is the greatest game ever invented.

25. Speaking of blankets, I think they're the greatest invention ever made. I've had several 'blankies' over the years. There's nothing like laying down and snuggling with a good blanket. I used to be convinced I could make a wedding gown out of one of my blankies. That would have been HOT.
