Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me:

1. I am somewhat superstitious-each night I look into the sky I make a wish on the first star I see.

2. I am a homebody and prefer staying in and watching a good movie as opposed to attending social events.

3. I attended Catholic schools from sixth grade through twelfth grade but no longer consider myself Catholic. In hindsight, wearing uniforms was an asset as I never concerned myself with which outfit to wear.

4. I don’t trust or genuinely connect with others easily but once I do, my love and loyalty run deep.

5. I think it’s unnatural whenever a person doesn’t like animals (particularly when they do not like dogs).

6. My favorite dog breed is a Golden-Doodle; however, unless we eventually move to a larger home, we simply do not have the space for a large dog.

7. I will only adopt animals that do not shed (hence my two hairless cats, yorkie-poo, and micro pig) as I am highly allergic to pet hair and quite honestly despise the constant sweeping/vacuuming animal shedding entails.

8. I am addicted to Light Soy Chocolate milk.

9. I love chocolate; however, throughout my pregnancy with Caleb, I despised all brands as it tasted like chalk.

10. I adore shoes (particularly boots); however, I am always barefoot whenever I am at home.

11. I can only sleep soundly if the room temperature is cool and there is a fan turned on high (I shamelessly take a box fan to every hotel I have ever traveled to).

12. Although I am initially nervous I actually greatly enjoy public speaking, especially if it’s on a topic I am passionate about.

13. I am currently employed as an adoption worker and derive great joy in helping to facilitate foster parent adoptions.

14. Despite the current cold weather my office is inevitably very, very warm. Alas, employees must choose between freezing outdoors or burning up inside.

15. My biggest guilty pleasure is reading tabloid magazines, particularly People, US, and In Touch.

16. I have been told repeatedly that I give great advice; however, I am notorious for not applying the same wisdom in my personal life.

17. I am an extremely picky eater and often eat the same items over and over again.

18. My least favorite activity is grocery shopping. I simply hate it each and every time.

19. My sisters and I have been blessed with extremely thick hair.

20. I wear medium tinted SPF 20 Aveno moisturizer everyday and avoid sun bathing and tanning beds at all cost. Consequently, I am frequently told I look much younger than my actual age and attribute this solely to the fact I wear sunscreen daily.

21. I love acrylic nails, however, I am too lazy to maintain the upkeep of getting fills every two weeks.

22. I always carry hand sanitizer (in my purse, in my car, and at my desk at work).

23. I adore wearing hats, especially during the fall and winter seasons.

24. I always wear sunglasses as I cannot stand to squint outdoors. Generally I wear aviator style sunglasses as I find them to be the most flattering.

25. I love antique and costume jewelry-especially rings…the more extravagant the better.

26. Even after an entire year, I still grieve over having to remove my nose piercing. Inexplicably (despite my vigilant cleansing routine) it continued to cause problems. Consequently I have had my naval piercing since 2001 and it has never given me any problems.

27. I adore wearing false eyelashes though I rarely do so simply because it’s time consuming to apply and they can be quite costly.

28. Mariah Carey’s song, “All I Want for Christmas is You” is my absolute favorite (non-religious) Christmas song. My favorite religious Christmas song is “Oh Holy Night”.

29. I am obsessed with the “True Blood” series. Currently the character “Alcide” is my favorite however this is subject to change once the new season airs.
