    10 Things About Me

    It's supposed to be ten right? Anyway, here we go!

    1. I have never met my father. Because of stuff that happened before my birth even, my mother had his rights terminated as soon as legally possible. I don't even know his name, that section on my birth certificate is left blank (no one else ever finds that funny) I know because of something my Uncle said that my father had other children with other women. Sometimes I think I would like to find them and meet them.

    2. I love clothes! I buy something new almost weekly and I have an entire closet dedicated to just me at my house. My next "goal", a pair of True Religion jeans, when I reach my goal weight.

    3. All through school, I was a total goody-goody honor roll, cheerleader, class representative type. My husband mocks me endlessly for this.

    4. I currently teach 8th grade English & I love it. I'm one of those people that wanted to be a teacher her entire life.

    5. All the actors I find hot are old enough to be my father and/or have gray hair (Small list: Vincent D'Onfrinio (Goren on Law & Order:CI), Anderson Cooper, William Peterson (Grissom on CSI), William Regal, Viggo (Aragorn in LOTR) etc. This probably says something about my physchology & the fact that I grew up without a father that I'm not ready to work through yet

    6. My husband & I met and bonded over our love of pro wrestling. He thought I was mocking him for liking it, so we ended up having a "wrestling knowledge throwdown" when we first met. I guess I passed the test because we started watching RAW and such together shortly afterwards & officially dating about two months afterwards. WWE BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER!

    7. Other than a surgery breaking my upper palette of my jaw (to fix my "jaw alignment" and help me breath better), I haven't ever broken any bones. *knock on wood*

    8. I love animals. I current have two cats & two dogs (all rescues). In my dream world, I would have a farm out in the middle of nowhere full of animals that needed homes.

    9. I work out a lot and I love it! A friend and I laughed about the fact that we are both probably egomaniacs when during one of those work "bonding" activities where we had to fill in a little bubble about ourselves, both of our bubbles were all about how we like to work out and look good.

    In reality, I think it has to do with the fact that my entire family is obese & has health problems. I've known since I was little that I didn't want that to happen to me.

    10. I love energy drinks & caffeine in all forms. I go through coffee, Sugar Free Amp, Enviga, etc like water!

    There we go! That was harder than I thought to come up with 10 things about me that I would consider "interesting".

    Woo!

    Very good friends wedding was tonight (I was a bridesmaid), it was interesting to say the least. I love though how after getting married, Mike and I spent the whole way home cataloging the ways our wedding was better.. We are turning into a catty old married couple.

    I will probably get in trouble for talking about boobs....but our bridesmaid dresses were terrible. On anyone over a B cup (thank God I lost the weight when I did) you looked like the Whore of Babylon. It was beyond cleavage and into disgusting. Only myself & another girl weren't spilling out of it. Of course, we had one bridesmaid who is an attention whore and spent the whole night reminding everyone how her boobs were falling out of dress!!! OMG!!! She couldn't even dance because her boobs might fall out!!! OMG!!! She had to walk with her arms over her chest and continually tell everyone in hearing distance about her boobs!!! Can you tell which girl got a little annoyed? I love her as a person, but alcohol & single men don't really bring out the best in her personality.

    My friend (the bride) though looked crazy beautiful & a perfect bride. It was a very nice wedding.

    The things that was beyond cool was the attendent gifts. My friend and her now hubby got us all Ipod Shuffles. They had a pretty large wedding party, so I don't even want to think about cost! She also engraved a little personal message to all of us on the back, so it's cute. I love that I went from no ipods to two though in under a week..

    Anyway off to find some food, I think I'm going to do the "10 things about me" at some point this week because it seems like every else did it!

    Songs You Should Be Embarrassed You Like

    So early today my husband asked me if I could go through his Itunes and recategorize his music. A bunch of his albums are missing the cover art for some reason and he knows I have far more patiences to go look all that stuff up than him.

    So his song choices and mine really can't be more different. He makes fun of my music all the time, proclaiming that he listens to "good music" vs. my music which appearently isn't good.

    Anyway....imagine my suprise when mixed in with the Queen, Beatles & Guns N'Roses that live on his ipod...I find Ashlee Simpson's "La La"... Oh the ribbing that will occur when he gets home from work tonight!

    Just so I'm not sharing only his secrets....I should probably be a little ashamed at the amount of Backstreet Boy songs that I have on hand. (I have slightly less N'Sync, but quite a few Justin Timberlake as well) I also have a ton of Phil Collins too.

    So my friends, what sort of musical monster hide in your closet? What do you listen to that might be considered "uncool" by the masses?
