1. I cannot watch ASPCA commercials (the commercials on abused and neglected animals)...it makes me cry every time.

2. I also cannot watch ST. Jude commercials...it hurts my heart.

3. I am eternally grateful my son inherited his father's natural intelligence. While I graduated Magna Cum Lade in undergrad and graduate school, I had to work hard for it. My son's father was born with innate natural intelligence- he scored a 33 on his ACT (unbelievable).

4. My dad and I used to play the game "Connect Four" frequently. To this day, Matt and Caleb rarely beat me. Thanks for all of the practice dad- it paid off.

5. I am not a huge baseball fan but I love the New York Yankees (this leads to conflict as my dad loves the Boston Red Sox while my son's father loves the New York Mets).

6. When I was a young girl, some of my childhood neighbors and I caught (and later released) "craw dads". (This admission floors my son).

7. I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh. Luckily I work in an office where this is not only acceptable but practically a requirement....we have wigs after all (don't ask).

8. I live in jeans during daylight hours, however, the moment I arrive home (after work) it's comfy clothes (generally a soft tee shirt and pajama pants).

9. I love the smell of freshly washed laundry.

10. I think the person who invented the swifter wet jet is simply brilliant.

11. I will likely cry whenever I watch the last episode of Oprah...no make that definitely cry if not wail.

12. If we lived in an area with a lot of land, we would have even more animals...goats and wallabees (AKA mini kangaroos).

13. Motivating myself to go to the gym is always difficult but once I work out I feel so much better.

14. I do not enjoy participating in social obligations during the work week...it throws off my routine.

15. I am extremely organized to the extent my coworkers tease me.

16. My son whips my tail whenever we play the game "Memory" (to the point of embarassment).

17. I was once a girl scout (for all the wrong reasons-I was only interested in the cool field trips).

18. I am an avid gossiper (I can be trusted not to pass on the gossip, however, I cannot help but listen in and be part of the process). I pray daily I can overcome this terrible vice. Thus far, I've had little success.

19. Remarkably I have grown to love my eye glasses.
