I dont really know how to do the following Q & A, so pardon me if I've executed incorrectly.

11 Random Things About Me:

1- Since being pregnant (officially 19 weeks on Sunday, March 18th) I am secretly obsessed with finding a pair of underpants that doesn't leave red marks on my legs and/or stomach.  For Christ's sake, even "maternity underpants" are too tight.  Does this mean my ass is really too fat?  I'm not even half way there with this damn gestational period.

2- Deep down inside (or not deep down since I'm sharing this on my blog) I wish I would've gone to medical school, Physician's Asst. school or cosmetology school.  I love medicine, medical talk, medical shows, talking about diagnosis, etc.  And shockingly, my mind is a steel trap when it comes to medical information.  Additionally, I love all things make up and hair even though I'm not a girlie girl.

3- If it weren't for my dog Kasia, I would go fucking nuts.  Her ears are magical and the most effective form of Xanax and heroine mixed together.

4- I suffer from anxiety.  I have been afflicted by this for about 3 years now.  There was a time when I was afraid to leave my house, but thank God, this only last a few weeks.

5- I love food.  All food.  Actually, the only food I don't like is Circus Peanuts candy, Ambrosia salad (if you don't know what this is, that's a good sign) and liver.

6- A clean house is a happy house.  I honestly don't get how people can live amongst filth, dirt and an unorganized mess.  Hoarders is basically the end of the world for me.

7- Even though we fought a ton growing up, I don't know who I'd be without my siblings.  They are all different however, we all seem to have strong common threads.

8-  People think I'm tough however, I'm super sensitive.  My feelings get hurt very easily and a I cry by myself at least once a week because of this.  Tied in with my anxiety, it's crucial for me to see my therapist once a week.  She keeps me sane.

9-  I'm scared to be a parent.  My biggest fear is having a kid/kids that are disrespectful, ungrateful and spoiled.  I'm a huge advocate of discipline and structure.

10-Narcissism is my pet peeve.  People that make everything about them can go fuck themselves.  Seriously.  The world can't possibly revolved around one person. 

11-I LOVE the "love" station on Sirius...... my twin calls this Yacht Rock.  Love it.  The cheesier the better.

3- Favorite blog? http://themonfortonnorton.blogspot.com/

4- Favorite recipe? Gooey Butter Cake bars by Paula Deen.  Made famous by Julie Hutt but perfected by Miss Paula herself.  It should just be renamed Cellulite with a glass of cold skim milk.

5- Favorite book? A Walk In The Woods

6- One-piece or two-piece swimsuit? One piece if I'm training for a half marathon (or marathon, which was the case in the summer of 2006) because my body is the least jiggly.  This moment-- I wouldn't leave the house without a garbage bag over my ass.

7- Most embarrassing moment? Falling down the Noll Hall outside stairs after the Puma Baseball banquet in front of 50 people, with my dress over my head.  I didn't spill my beer though.

8- Pets? Names? One dog: Kasia Lokelani Willis.  Age 2.  Borged on January 13th.  Soft ears, solid paws and loves having her inner thighs scratched.

9- Specific makeup item you couldn't live without? My morning regime (if I'm going to work) is as follows: MAC Studiofix foundation, Nars concealer, Revlon loose powder, Benefit Hoola bronzer, bronze eye shadow (over entire lid gently with finger), brown eye liner, black mascara.  It seems like a lot, but it looks natural.  Please note, the foundation is just to cover broken blood vessels around my nose..... nowhere else. 

10- Favorite song of the moment? Too many to name.  I love the songs from "The Family Stone" and anything Van Morrison, Sammy Hagar and Pandora's Bread Radio.
