25 Things You Don't Know About Me

I know...I am the worst blogger...ever!  I promise I'll try to do better and post more often!

Now that apologies are out of the way, I've noticed that many bloggers have been taking a page out of of Us Magazine's "25 Things You Don't Know About Me" feature.  I had to join in the fun, though I'm such a chatter box most of these things will likely not be too shocking.  Still, enjoy!  Even better?  Post a comment telling me something I don't know about you!

1) I am left-handed.  My handwriting is so terrible that I type everything...even notes I stick inside greeting cards.

2) My hair has many grays and is naturally wavy/on the verge of curly.  I color it every four weeks, and, I straighten it after every wash.

3) I'm addicted to delicious smelling laundry.  I've taught my husband and the kids how to do laundry, and, my 11 year-old son does it the best.  You can smell his laundry from across the room!

4) I use Vaseline for my Crow's Feet.  Best, most affordable wrinkle reducer around.
Smile big when applying to get in all the nooks and crannies!
 5) I love car shopping.  I'm currently on my fifth vehicle in six years.

7) My currently vehicle is not cool.  I am a minivan mom.

8) I'm addicted to water.  I drink at least 6-8 bottles a day.

9) I love pit bulls.  I used to pee at the sight of them until I adopted one who was due to be euthanized.  Going forward I plan to always have a rescued pit bull in my house.
Her name is Jolie-Pitt (like Brad & Angelina...or Jolie the pit bull)

10) I am the clumsiest person you'll ever meet.  I'd say I visit the ER four times a year due to injury.

11) I love Nancy Grace.  I agree that she can be controversial, but if something ever happened to someone I love, she'd be the first person I'd call for help.

12) George and I are in the process of having a baby via gestational surrogacy.  At the latest, we're hoping to be pregnant by April.  If I have a girl, she must hit the town in this carseat cover.
Want one?  I sell these at my boutique!

13) I sleep with a Pillow Pet every night.  My mother had this thing with ladybugs, so, my sister bought me a ladybug Pillow Pet for my 34th birthday.

14) I am domestically challenged, but I insist that my vehicles always be spotless inside.

15) I love Original Terra chips.  They are my absolute fave.

16) I make a mean chicken casserole, known in our family as "Chicken Junk."

17) I believe in Mediums and meet with them regularly to talk to my mother.

18) I'm addicted to Words with Friends.

19) I was in a car accident that left me with a cadaver disc in my spine which is fused with a titanium plate and screws.

20) I have no tolerance for people who are rude to the wait staff at restaurants.

21) I'm addicted to hand cream and lip balm.

22) Homemade gifts from my kids make the best presents ever.
Maddy made this for me - LOVE!

23) I love the Phillies and have Phillies hats, shirts, jackets, and sweats in every style.

24) I only wear Asics sneakers, and, I have a pair to match every outfit I own.

25) I was born on Abraham Lincoln's birthday.  That was my claim to fame until my younger sister was born two years after me...and her birthday is two days after mine, on Valentine's Day.  Middle child syndrome, anyone?
