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 :).
Hi Molly,
I 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.
So, I'll figure out what I'm going to say and post tomorrow :)
These posts are the best - so much fun to read!
A 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.
I 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.
I love these lists! I love the thought of you in an undercover police car; that's hilarious.
I'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!
I would grab the photo albums too in a fire because you really can't replace them at all!
Love your list!
Nice list! Wonder if we'll ever see photos of your party tricks...?
I tried to picture the chin man but I guess it's too early for that, lol. I'm with you on the pizza!
I love these posts! Thanks for sharing!
I love these kind of posts!
I love #9. My favorite
You 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!
Very funny. I worked in restaurants growing up. My first car was a 1976 Monte Carlo.
As 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.
Considering the physical and artistic requirements, I do wonder how you decide to start doing that gag.
Ditto on that pizza love!
I 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!
This list was great....and gave me some fun ideas for my list! Thanks for the tag:)
So 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!!
I'm from LI too.
Great 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.
It's USTA tennis sectionals - at Syracuse U. I'm from East Meadow but I went to UAlbany and stayed.
I'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!!
