25 Things

So i started doing my 25 and had WAY too much fun working on it for a week! :) I added 5 *bonus* because i kept thinking of things i wanted to add. YOUR WELCOME! =)


1- I am a giant Child and I NEVER want to grow up. (and i am pretty sure i never will)
2- I love laughing until i cry, and do so often.
3- Everything I do in life i second guess. Especially my career choice. Now that I'm a few years into I wonder if this is how I want to spend the rest of my life or if i should have chosen a more challenging field.
4- Long toe nails are a huge pet peeve of mine. I cut my toe nails every other week obsessively short and it drives my husband nuts :)
5- I think i have an Internet/Txt addiction. Its a serious problem if i am without my cell or email for too long.
6- As much as i complain about New England and its terrible weather, i could not imagine living anywhere else. I would miss the first snow, the first nice day and the days that the snow starts to melt. I would miss conversations with strangers about how nice it is outside when its actually only in the 30s. I would miss people honking their horns @ me and flipping me the bird. Deep down i love this crazy state.
7- Babies freak me the heck out. While everyone else is cooing over them and wanting to hold them, i can be found trying to leave the room and not make eye contact.
8- I'm a night owl. If i could stay up all night i absolutely would. I cant remember the last time i went to bed with out forcing my self to go to sleep.
9- Ive always been a bit of a tree-hugger and i am happy that its becoming the 'cool' Thing to do. I will be sad when people give up on it for the next cool thing.
10- Hanson has been my favorite band since i was 14 (mmmbop came out on my 14th bday!!) I don't care if u don't like them, i think if u gave them a chance now u would really like the musicians they have become.
11- I hold grudges. If you make me upset or hurt me, i will never, ever forget.
12- Aside from flip flops and sneakers, i do not own a pair of flats. I am short, my husband is tall. When i take my shoes off people are usually surprised at how tiny i actually am.
13- Stop asking me when i am having kids. I'm 25 and want to enjoy life a bit. I can hardly take care of my self, i do not need another mouth (or 2 since twins run in my family) to feed.
14- Shopping is a sport for me. There is nothing like finding a sale and getting a great deal. I love the thrill of buying new clothes and wearing them for the first time.
15- I sometime miss wearing a uniform as getting ready in the morning was so much easier. Skirt, tights, sweater, oxford, DONE.
16-In Jr High i had my thyroid taken out. It has left an unsightly scar on my neck (that I'm apparently the only one who can see). In Jr High and High School i always wore chokers so no one would see the scar. As I've gotten older i don't try to hide it as much, but i am still self conscious about it.
17- I'm a sucker for animals. I would be more likely to stop and help a wounded animal on the side of the road than a human. Does that make me a horrible person? Probably.
18- If i could "do it all over again" i would go to school for marine biology. When i was a kid i wanted to be a vet, until my dad told me i would have to put animals to sleep. I toyed with marine biology in High school, but when push came to shove, Communication/advertising seemed more interesting to my 17 yr old self.
19- I can listen to a song once and know the lyrics and remember them forever. Yet i can not even remember what Trigonometry IS never mind what i learned in the class.
20- In my dream life I drive an Audi TT Roadster, color silver. I live some place tropical and i don't work. My real life couldn't be further from this. Its good to have dreams.
21- People that do not know me very well think i am quiet. Once you get to know me, u find out how wrong u really were :)
22- I was teased a lot growing up. I spend 70% of my adult life doing everything in my power to reverse the damage. I keep my forehead covered, wear makeup everywhere and never leave the house unless i have nice hair and nice clothes on. Its shallow yes, but i am terrified of running into a former teaser and justifying their mean words. I want them to see me and think 'man i should have been nicer to her'.
23- I hate my middle name. I hate it so much I'm not even going to write it on here. When i was changing my name after getting married i was tempted to get rid of my middle name all together, but i figured it would hurt my mother's feelings.
24- I hate asking other people for help. I would rather just do everything myself than ask for help. This usually results in me getting burnt out, but i would rather do everything myself so things get done the way I want them to.
25- I love to cook and am actually getting pretty good at it. My dad is a great cook so growing up we always had awesome home cooked meals. I'm getting more confident in my skills and have become pretty good over the past three years! Baking is a whole other story. I always forget to add some ingredient that ruins the whole thing.


~~**~~**~~Bonus 5~~**~~**~~

1- My house was struck by lightening when i was a kid. It blew out all the electronics in my house and caused a fire in my front yard. I have been terrified of lightening ever since.
2- I hate when people think I am French. I am not even a little French, I am Italian. As my grandfather would have told you, 'read a history book'.
3- I took Spanish from the 7th grade till my senior year in High school. Taught Spanish to 2nd graders AND took 3 semesters of Spanish in college, yet i am still not fluent.
4- I am way too competitive. I despise losing and make fun games into highly competitive games (hellllo xbox ping pong!! lol).
5- I hate being cold. I would rather be sweating than be a tiny bit chilly. When I'm at home I am almost always under a blanket. I assume when i am old i will wear a snuggie 24/7. :)
