25 random things about me. I swear I have done this before. But, this blog does celebrate the randomness of life, so I kind of HAVE to do this.
1. I was a huge high school theater dork. All litigators are really frustrated actors.
2. I was convinced I failed the bar. I spent 3 months coming up with career of the day. I once told Doug I was going to be a weather girl and then said, "I'm not cute enough to be a weather girl." He said, "there is no way I can correctly deal with this. If I say you can be a weather girl, you are dumb. If I say you cannot be a weather girl, you are ugly So I am leaving the room." I didn't fail. I passed, on the first try.
3. Sometimes I don't want to be a lawyer anymore. I want to be a writer. Or a wine sommelier.
4. I can't knit anymore. My hands hurt too much from the lupus/rheumatoid arthritis. I miss it terribly.
5. I am seriously and profoundly addicted to the Internet.
6. Up until a year ago I didn't even know what twitter was. See above.
7. I used to think everyone who had a blog was a huge freaking dork. See above.
8. I have been on the same "birth board" since I was about a month
pregnant. We keep moving locations but we always stay together. See
above.
9. I am a Disney fanatic. We leave a week from Wednesday and I can hardly contain my excitement.
10. I am an incredibly loyal friend. My friendships are very important to me. But, if you screw me over or hurt me, I will never forget it.
11. I love sushi. I would eat it for every meal.
12. Nothing is every spicy enough for me.
13. I love wrap dresses.
14. I am horrible at folding laundry, making beds, and ironing. I would be an awful housewife.
15. I can't make coffee. Hence, my tassimo.
16. I'm a very good cook, but a bad baker.
17. I am deathly allergic to cats. My eyes swell and I can't breath.
18. I used to love football. Now it kind of bores me. Hence the writing this during the super bowl.
19. My favorite expression in the world is "President Obama."
20. I love mashed potatos and french fries. There is very few things you can do wrong with a potato.
21. I am terrible at math. Honestly, I can't add.
22. I used to be hopelessly addicted to diet coke. I gave it up last year. Now I don't even like it.
23. I still sleep with a teddy bear every night. His name is Killer and I even take him on vacation. He went on my honeymoon. Odd thing is, he is not from childhood. My freshman year college roommate gave him to me.
24. I hate inviting people to Michael's birthday party. I feel like it is soliciting gifts. For years I put no gifts on the invitation and everyone ignored me.
25. I send thank you notes for anything and everything. Perhaps I send too many thank you notes, and someone once told me to stop sending them.

Love your list! I am also hopelessly addicted to the internet as well. (Obviously). And I still sleep with my blanket from when I was a baby. My Mom gave it back to me at 13, and I haven’t slept without it since. It feels weird without it.
#1 – I was also a theater dork – still am! I did comedy improv the summer before I started law school, and credit my presentation and litigation skills to my ability to think quickly on my feet. Best education I ever got.
I’m totally with you on #10. I will hold a grudge until I die. It doesn’t even matter if the person who wronged me dies first…I’ll still hold that grudge. Probably I should work on that.
So funny…I am about to post my list (which I also wrote last night during the Super Bowl) and I also have one about not being able to add!
I’m with you #10. Are you by chance a Leo too? Maybe I can blame the stars for that trait?
I’ve been tagged in FB for this 4 times now. I really should get on it. Figure I’ll do it sometime when I’m procrastinating. Hmm, maybe that’s my #1 thing: Huge Procrastinator.
My husband got me a Tassimo for valentine’s day three years ago. I LOVE IT. I was so embarrassed at work when I had to constantly ask someone how to operate a real coffee maker.
I’m an okay baker and a borderline terrible cook.
#19 = ♥
I totally should have gone to law school.
let’s hope your “love of sushi” doesn’t mimic jeremy piven disease.
Good thing I know about the cat allergy. Now you can never come to my house. Sad.
I want to be a sommelier too.
Maybe we should go to wine school together.
Doug is so funny in #2!
I’m sorry you can’t knit anymore.
Hope you and your family have a blast at Disney!
Fun. I related to many of yours (namely 7,10,11,12, and 17)
I totally second your love of the Esteemed Potato. French fries are possibly my absolute favorite thing ever. And wine. But probably not together.
Me too, #17 and #20. What about scalloped potatoes – can you do those? Then there’s pierogies and gnocci, combining my favorite things in the world – pasta and potatoes.
Ohhhh, Disney!!!! How do I love thee?!
I was a theatre geek too, but I had no talent, so I was more the behind the scenes geek.
I’m sorry you can’t knit anymore.
You’ll need to take lots and lots of pictures while on vacation. I can’t wait to hear how Michael reacts.
Ugh. I’ve not yet succumbed to this meme, but I am enjoying reading about my friends, so maybe in a week or so I’ll have figured or made up 25 things about myself.
I got a bear just before I left for college that I love, too. But one of my boys sleeps with him now.
Maybe with the right meds you will be able to knit again. For a while I could not do ANYTHING with my fingers, now they fly over the keyboard.
Have fun at Disney!
ha! someone told you to stop sending thank you notes -too funny
Hmmm. Just trying another addy here.
If it weren’t for number 8, I wouldn’t know ya! Love to all the March Mommies!
I too am a Disney freak. Our plans to go this year may have been screwed over. My son thinks the only thing in Florida is Mickey’s house.
Hello to all ! Great site. I am new here greetings to all from Poland.
