I was reading a magazine yesterday and in the back there was a section called
10 Things You Didn't Know About Insert Celebrity Name Here
While I am the furthest thing from a celebrity, I thought this would be fun... Here it goes:
1. I am a stickler with driving. I do the speed limit or no more than 5 miles over. Seat belts are mandatory. Turning signals are abused. I don't know why, but the older I get the more cautious I become. Probably because kids are in the car. That and the fear of being pulled over, because my sick little brain thinks maybe the lollipop I stole in elementary school was finally reported and they identified me & now there's a warrant and I am busted. LMAO.
2. My nickname in highschool was DFG. This was given to me by the father of my high school boyfriend. I had just met him and within minutes he says, "we are going to call you DFG." I don't know why, but later on after my ex & I had broken up, he revoked it saying that he didn't mean it and it wasn't until after me that his son started bring home girls that lived up to the nickname. But it did stick in our little circle. Can you figure out what DFG stands for?
3. I am on a life journey to find the best pair of jeans. I believe they are out there. That there has to be at least one designer that understands that because I have big hips and need a size above a 5 that that doesn't mean I have thick legs or a fat ass. That I can find a pair of jeans that fits my waist perfectly without having to get the legs and butt taken in by a seamstress. That I will just put them on & they will fit perfectly. This theory has cost me a lot of money in jeans being that I don't try things on. There was a time when I owned 84 pairs of jeans that I had purchased in a 6 month period because proving this to be true became an obsession.
4. I believe in soul mates. I believe that there is more than one soul mate for each person that you connect and reconnect with in different capacities throughout lifetimes... They don't have to be connections in a romantic sense, sometimes they can be your parents, friends, relatives, strangers on the street.... I believe I have met 2 of mine so far in my life.
5. I want to own an antiques store. I would love to also have handcrafted items from locals to sell in my store. I already have the name picked out as well as the design of the store. I even have a copyright on the name.
6. I have nightmares at least once a week about falling.... Usually I am falling down the stairs at the house I grew up in. I never hit the steps going down. It sort of feels like I am being shoved from behind down them and I always wake up before I hit the bottom...
7. I can name almost every constellation in the sky on any given night. I was obsessed with astronomy when I was kid. Everyone thinks they can point out the big dipper, they are usually wrong about it, but I will let them have it.
8. I can't walk past a charity or donation set up outside a store without giving something. This also goes for homeless people who ask for money. If I don't have anything on me to give, I feel guilty for days afterwards. I also have the need to talk to old people when I see them sitting by themselves eating because it breaks my heart that they might be lonely and maybe a little conversation, even from a stranger, would make their day.
9. I am obsessed with the blog http://www.remodelaholic.com/ and I must check it every 3 hours or so to see what is on it now. I want to do every single project on there. Actually let me check it now.
10. The second I cross the whitestone bridge, I feel like my confidence and self esteem rise 50% higher than what is was the second before I crossed the bridge. There is something about being back in LI and/or Queens for me that makes me feel more secure, more attractive and happier. Maybe I feel like me again when I am home, I dont know... It's weird, but its a good weird.
