from facebook

(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs 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. Hubby and I have a list of 3 celebs we are allowed to cheat on each other with. I only have 1 person on my list....Tom Brady...He is the perfect male specimen, a God among men. I am so obsessed with him that before we knew Paige was a girl I actually considered naming our son Brady Thomas.
2.I love diet Mt Dew
3.I get a high when I find a good deal when I'm out shopping, when it happens I can't stop smiling for the rest of the day.
4.I am insecure about my body and want my pre pregnancy body back
5.They say TV is bad for kids but I let Paige watch cartoons because I secretly love them. My favorites are Dora th Explorer and Pinky Dinky Doo.
6.I have a tattoo of my husband's name on my right hip that I got on the night of my bachelorette party after many many cocktails
7.My favorite movie of all time is Napolean Dynamite, I could watch it everyday for the rest of my life and it would never get old. Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.
8.My first car was a yugo and please save all the jokes, trust me I have heard them all. How do you double the value of a Yugo? Fill the tank!, A man walks into an auto parts store and says, "I'll take a gas cap for a Yugo" "Sounds like a fair trade", says the couter worker, What do you call a Yugo at the top of a hill? A miracle. and my all time favorite I can see you've got a new car - a Yugo! - Yes, I won the second prize in a lottery. - What was the first prize then? - A fruit-basket!
9.I have a piece of lead stuck in the back of my leg. In 6th grade I was sitting in my desk chair bored so I decided to try to balance my leg on top of a pencil. It was going well until the sharp point broke through my jeans and the tip broke off in my leg. The Dr. couldn't get it out and said it would be safe to leave in and 22 years later it is still there.
10.I've been on a Disney cruise 10 times.
11. I really want to learn how to sew and I am determined to sign up for a class in the near future.
12.We call Paige an alien because she is freakishly happy almost all of the time. She smiles about 1000 times a day. When she had her 2nd surgery she did not need any tylenol and I watched her get 3 huge shots in her thighs yesterday and she did not make a peep (although I almost passed out). When it was over she smiled. I don't know where she gets it from but it's definitely not from me.
13. I have lived in Florida for 19 years and I have never been to Key West or South Beach. I have also never been to Vegas, man am I lame..
14. I Love Love Love reality TV shows, the cheesier the better.
15. I really want to be on Wheel of Fortune one day.
16. I love my new job but I miss all the people I used to worked with, the greatest thing about BrownCo/ETrade was the people I worked with for many years. When I moved to Tampa all by myself they were definitely like my second family.
17. I know this sounds bad but I hated being pregnant. We decided we definitely want one more so Paige won't be an only child but the thought of being pregnant again freaks me out. I know I should be thankful that I had an easy pregnancy with no problems and I know there are many women in this world that can't get pregnant and for this reason I feel really guilty that I disliked it so much. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the end result, Paige is the best thing that has ever happened to me, I thank God every day for this miracle. But at times I kinda wish we had twin baby Paige's so we could be done.
18. I was born and raised in New Bedford, Ma (aka little Portugal). I lived there for 16 years. So it's weird to me that I am such a wussy when it gets cold now.
19. My favorite food is a toss between cheese and birthday cake remix from Coldstone creamery
20. Rich and I met at JP Morgan Chase and that is where we got Paige's middle name from Paige Morgan.
21. When I work out I listen to Stevie B on my ipod
22. I miss living on Davis Island
23. I read Star and US Weekly religiously
24. I listen to Howard Stern every morning, Hey now.
25. I haven't been in my backyard in 6 months because we've found snakes, huge a*s spiders, and a dead possum out there. I am so afraid to go out back it is not even funny...
