Getting to know me…

• My dog broke my nose last December.....twice. But here's the kicker--it's 'cause she was afraid of a cat! The first time, she leaped over a table and a couch right into my nose so as to avoid walking by the kitty; the second time, she did one of those quick turn-your-whole-body-around crashing your hard head into mom's broken nose 'cause I'm paranoid moves because the kitty jumped on the back of the couch and she was in my lap and thought the vicious kitty was going to hurt one of us.
• My husband didn't believe me....but my doctor confirmed it by my signs/symptoms: the clicking of cartilage and pain in the bridge of my nose, not to mention the swelling, but said there was nothing we could do besides keeping dogs from jumping into my face with their heads....which is hard for me to keep from happening!
• I get heartburn when I eat peanut butter and jelly....which I used to do every day of my life in high school with NO problems
• I make the text in my web browser large so that I can see it. That's why I love Mozilla Firefox because it's much easier to do than in Explorer. You just press 'Control' and the + or - key. You can make text HUGE!
• I've had 3 surgeries in my life: 2 on my toes! and 1 to remove my wisdom teeth. I ate pizza after each surgery.
• Currently, guayava con queso from Porto's is my favorite food sandwich. You eat one, then eat your meal, and then you eat another. So yummy!
• Karma's a bitch: When I was little, I tripped my sister, which caused a split in her lip which caused her to have confidence issues as a teenager......so after 20 or so years with 4 weeks exactly to the day of my wedding, I kissed my neighbor's dog and he didn't want to be kissed and he tore open my lip so bad that you could see my teeth through the hole! and I had to get lots of painful stitches and now it looks like I used to have a piercing there.
• When my lip was torn open by a dog bite, my husband and I were calm, but if you were to throw some kind of slimy bug at us, we'd run around screaming like babies and I'd have a panic attack.
• I like going to the dentist. And I think that my dentist and my primary care doc are both super cool.
• I've never experienced brain freeze.
• I've never eaten a Twinkie.
• I didn't eat Doritos until my senior year in high school.
• I love cheese.
• I'd rather have dogs than kids.
• My dog has a Coach collar and leash and a string of pearls in her collection of things every dog needs.
• I used to be a personal trainer...after I got fat the first time and before I got fat the second time.

• I ran a half-marathon. and then I stopped moving for a couple years.
• I enjoy Ashlee Simpson's Autobiography CD.
• I've had the same email address for over 9 years.....and only a select few have that address....the rest of you email me @ Yahoo.

• I highly dislike chocolate, although I'd be willing to try it with cheese.
• I worked in a library for 6 years.
• My husband and I got married by our friend....we asked him to marry us on a whim while we were at lunch....and he said yes so he got ordained online!
• Including my husband, I've only had one sexual partner!
• I check my cholesterol at least every 2 months. It's been as high as 289, but my HDL will always kick your HDL's ass.
• I took a picture with "The Big Banana" in Queensland, Australia and with an Aborigine in Sydney.
• I went to Chiapas, Mexico by myself when I was 19.
• I eat veggie meats named Wham, Prosage Links and Fri-Pats.
• I grew up in Glendale, CA although I was born in Hartford, CT. I hate going to Glendale now because there's so many people but I do it because Porto's and the Argentinian store are there and that's where you can get some of the best eatin' in the valley.
• I've had the same cell phone number for 7 years, except for the area code change.
• When I was a senior in college, my car burned down on a freeway exit ramp. I cried when the firefighter took an ax to the hood to get it open and put out the fire.
• When I was a senior in college, I fell off my bike and tore a ligament in my wrist. The orthopedist I saw didn't know how to deal with wrists, so he put me in a full-arm cast up to my shoulder until I could see the wrist guy.
• When I was in a cast during college, I had to switch cars with my dad because I couldn't drive my stick anymore.
• 5 days after I got my cast off, I was in a wedding, and though I'd desperately tried to tan my right arm to match my left arm, my right arm was stark white and I had to wear a strapless gown like that.
• My wedding dress was cheaper than my wedding hair and makeup!
• I listen to Christian radio when I'm in the car because it helps curb the road rage.
