25 RANDOM FACTS

Everyone has been sending around and tagging each other the 25 Random Fact list on Facebook. I have so many random facts-- it was hard to narrow down. Maybe I'll update soon with some more... In the meantime, here are my random facts....

**
Rules: Once you've been tagged you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

[To do this, go under "notes" under tabs (or the + sign) on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click "publish".]

1. I used to have a blankie that had very frayed ends.  I called the longest piece that hung off of it my "shtribble."  I've noticed that Baby-Ko "shtribbles" his blankie too...
2. I love the food at El Coyote no matter what you say.
3. Until I was 4, I had imaginary friends named Bodice and Beem Beem. Then one day Bodice moved to New York to be an actress and Beem Beem went with her...  
4. I love that my husband knows "a little bit about everything." It's hot!
5. When I was in Israel in high school, I became friends with the "bad girls" and we tried to give ourselves tattoos. I still have a little dot on my ankle. That was the summer I became "cool."
5. I hate scary movies.
6. I have been to Malta and I wish I could say I loved it.
7. Hearing Baby-Ko call out "Mommy" from his crib, always makes waking up at 6am bearable.
8. After college I backpacked through Europe and ended up travelling for 10 days by myself; For 3 of those days I was in Amsterdam high and scared out my mind.
9. I love the color green.
10. I was once told I dance like a black man (by a black man).
11. When I lived in New York, I was mugged on the Upper Westside. A couple weeks later, I got called in to do a police lineup- I identified the guy, and ended up going to court to testify against him. It was the scariest thing I've ever done.
12. I have never gotten a speeding ticket.
13. I have never had a cavity, braces or a retainer (though I used to take paper clips and pretend that I had one when I was younger).
14. When I was younger, I used to speak in a British accent and pretend that Barbara Walters was interviewing me. Now I pretend it's Oprah.
15. I love cheese but cannot just take a bite or chunk out of it.
16. I dream of winning an Academy Award -- even if it's Sound Editing.
17. I have written the first 15 pages of a novel and not a day goes by that I don't think about wanting to finish it.
18. I thought that it would be a scene out of "ER," but the the day my son was born turned out to be the calmest and most peaceful day of my life.
19. I hate cats.
20. Poop jokes make me laugh.
21. I could listen to Harry Connick Jr. , Michael Bubble and Steve Tyrell all day long.
22. I used to rollerblade a lot and was convinced if it became a sport at the Olympics, I would qualify.
23. I sleep with my mouth open. Super sexy.
24. I love how much Baby-Ko looks like his daddy.
25. My mom and I have an incredible relationship and I don't tell her enough how much she means to me.

TAG, I'M IT!

I'm a huge sucker for those emails that ask you all sorts of (tame) personal questions like "what's your favorite color," "Favorite time of day," "What is your favorite city," etc... and then you have to forward it on to all your friends and copy the person that sent it to you. WELL, apparently, in the blog world, there's similar thing called getting "Tagged" in which one blogger answers a 6 question "Meme" (look this one up, because i still don't know what the f it means) and then forwards or "tags" another blogger to answer the same question.

Tonight I got the chance to catch up on reading all my favorite blogs and saw that I had been "tagged" by Taiwan Lucy...  (Thanks, Jackie!)   Rules: Each player posts the answers about themselves, then tags five people to the same at the end of the post.

So here's my answers...

What were you doing ten years ago?
Ten years ago I had just graduated with a B.F.A. in Acting/Theater from NYU Tisch School of the Arts.  I lived in Boston that summer (oy, is that a long story) and was totally lost. By November of 1998, I was back in NYC though, sharing an apartment with two girls I hardly knew,  living in a room that was literally 10 ft by 10ft, and waitressing at a restaurant on Park Ave. called City Crab. Ironically, I hate crab.

Five items on my "To-Do" List:
Just 5?! Jeez. Let's see...
1) Baby proof the house!.... gate to the kitchen, outlets, toilets, fasten shelves and armoire to the wall, everything.
2) Drop off dry cleaning. Seriously. 
3) Lose 7 pounds by yesterday. Okay, at least by October (going back to Maui for my brother in-law's wedding)
4) Research and sign up for a music class or My Gym with Baby-Ko.
5) Get Baby-Ko's new car seat installed.

Snacks I Enjoy:
-Peanut-butter filled pretzels from TJ's. (4 grams of fat for 11 pretzels. Yes, I look at that bag often!)
-Granola bars
-Diet coke
-Iced Coffee  (I'm trying to diet, people!)
-whatever Baby-Ko doesn't finish at his meal (shredded cheese, sweet potato, cheerios... you name it).

Places I Would Live:
-Paris
-Malibu
-Healdsburg 
-Chicago (spring only)
-Surrey, England... just outside of London (where Kate Winslet's house was in "The Holiday". Love!)

What would I do if I were a billionaire?
-Share it with family and friends
-Become more philanthropic... find a cause or start an organization that was near and dear to my heart
-Take T-Ko to all the Four Seasons that we have seen on the website and said, "One day..."
-Finish my novel... Write/direct a short film... Be more creative!! (I suppose I could do that all now, but it seems like money would make it a lot easier!)

Jobs I've Had: 
Not in any particular order...
-Production Assistant
-Camp Counselor
-Nanny
-Cashier at a Pizza Stand
-Television Producer
-Gift wrapper at Williams Sonoma
-Salesperson at Pottery Barn
-Waitress... waitress... waitress...

So glad T-Ko decided to dominate the TV playing X-Box tonight. This was fun. So, I TAG:
Go Nicole Yourself,  Simon Metz, Creative Type Dad,  Self Made Mom, and Alli B! (You don't have a blog yet, but you should!)
