J tagged me to share ten random things about myself. Hmmmmm, what the heck haven't I told you yet?
1. I loved working in restaurants, my first job was as a bus girl in high school, at the Pig N Whistle, a restaurant down at the beach. My last job was waiting tables at a tappas style place, I did three shifts a week in addition to working full time, to help pay for my wedding. I just love the vibe. The cash is nice too.
2. The first concert I went to was Bryan Adams, the last one was Kelly Clarkson last summer. The best one I went to was the Grammy's in 2003, where and Simon and Garfunkel reunited to sing The Sound of Silence (hello goosebumps).
3. I no longer have a Long Island accent. Although I've been told it comes back when I chew gum.
4. My first car was a '78 Chevy Malibu, an old undercover police car with a broken speedometer. Never got a ticket.
5. I was an exchange student in high school, and I'm still in contact with people from the program. I stayed just outside of London, and was able to spend time in Scotland and Wales while I was there. I really want Luke and Eliza to take advantage of a program like that.
6. I'm good at party tricks. I can fit my fist into my mouth, and I can do "chin man." (draw a nose, and eyes on your chin, hang upside down off the edge of the couch, and cover your face from your nose down. It looks like a weird little person talking to you).
7. I can be lazy about certain things. I have a shelf in the bathroom, and I'm constantly knocking things off it, and they land in....the toilet. One time my whole make up bag went in. But do I move things off the shelf, or, possibly close the lid? No. I don't.
8. I'm very close to my family, I speak with my sister Meagen at least once a day. One of the hardest things I've had to do was to tell them we were moving upstate.
9. If there was a fire, other than Mike and the kids, the first thing I would grab are my photo albums. Everything else you can replace.
I'm to tag three bloggers, and they are:
Andrea from Wife, Mother, Runner
Erika from Chasing My Monkeys 1 Mile at a time
and three...Runners Fuel
I don't think there's a pizza I could eat I wouldn't like either :). Thanks for sharing your list, very fun :).
ReplyDeleteHi Molly,
ReplyDeleteI love these posts! You know how much I love random and learning more about blogger friends:)
I love Bryan Adams too...my first concert was Jon Bon Jovi:)
Funny about the knocking stuff over and having it land in the toilet! My daughter does that all of the time:)
WOW!! Yeah!! You picked me. How cool is that. Thank you. I laughed about the stuff falling in the toilet. That is so me. I am lazy about some things too.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'll figure out what I'm going to say and post tomorrow :)
These posts are the best - so much fun to read!
ReplyDeleteA long, long time ago, I dated a girl who was from LIC that lost her accent, but when she got mad, it came back fast.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the pizza comment
I'm with you on the photo albums! Well... I WAS with you on the photo albums. That used to always scare me too--the thought of losing all those photographs. It took me FOREVER, but I did a photo-scanning project and digitally backed up every photo that I have. I burned two copies to disk. One is in the safe at home and one is in the safe at work.
ReplyDeleteI love these lists! I love the thought of you in an undercover police car; that's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the pizza. Totally.
Congrats on your 19 miler from the post below! You did awesome and it's such a confidence booster knowing you can go the full 26.2. Have fun on your "short" runs. :)
great list! I loved reading this!
ReplyDeleteI would grab the photo albums too in a fire because you really can't replace them at all!
Love your list!
ReplyDeleteNice list! Wonder if we'll ever see photos of your party tricks...?
ReplyDeleteI tried to picture the chin man but I guess it's too early for that, lol. I'm with you on the pizza!
ReplyDeleteI love these posts! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love these kind of posts!
ReplyDeleteI love #9. My favorite
ReplyDeleteYou went to the Grammys! You saw Simon and Garfunkel! How cool. This is my first summer in a long time without a concert. Last summer I saw Paul McCartney on a gorgeous evening at Fenway Park. That was the BEST!
ReplyDeleteVery funny. I worked in restaurants growing up. My first car was a 1976 Monte Carlo.
ReplyDeleteAs for photos, one thing I did over last several years was migrate them all to picasa. That way they are always there in digital land. If you only have photos, scan them and upload -- not as good as the original, but still...you will never lose them.
You need to sneak a chin man pic in here.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the physical and artistic requirements, I do wonder how you decide to start doing that gag.
Ditto on that pizza love!
ReplyDeleteI love these "things about me" posts too ... always so interesting to learn more about each other. Funny, one of my favorite jobs - of the seemingly million I've had - was a waitress job as well. I suppose it was because I worked with all of my friends (college age at the time) - we had a blast!
ReplyDeleteThis list was great....and gave me some fun ideas for my list! Thanks for the tag:)
ReplyDeleteSo funny...for some reason I had a vision of you running while sticking your whole fist in your mouth...now that would be a party trick!!
ReplyDeleteI'm from LI too.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Taking part in an exchange program is probably one of the best things a student can do! I'm also still in touch with the family I stayed with in southern France. I agree with you, I hope my kids do it as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's USTA tennis sectionals - at Syracuse U. I'm from East Meadow but I went to UAlbany and stayed.
ReplyDeleteI've seen Simon & Garfunkel too.
I agree. Exchange programs are great. I spent my junior year of college in the south of France.
I've also lived with a famnily for a week (3x) in Russia.
You went to the Grammy's??? So cool!!
