25 Things You Don’t Know About Me

I read US Weekly religiously, and one of my favorite parts each week is the 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me. I love learning random facts about people, so I thought I would write my own for the blog. For any bloggers out there reading this, I’d love to read yours, so make sure you leave a comment with your link so I can learn some new little tidbits about you!

Here goes:

#1 – I used to be friends with Blossom. Or as I knew her in elementary school – Mayim Bialik.
We were penpals for a bit after I moved to Canada, but eventually lost touch.

#2 – Speaking of moving to Canada – I used to live in the US. Right smack in Los Angeles, California to be exact. I lived there from age 1-9. Which means I learnt to spell in the US, which is why most of my words don’t have extra u’s. I’m a bad Canadian speller.

#3 – I started dating my husband Dave when I was 21. We’ve been together for 14 years, married for 9.

#4 – I’m taking ballet lessons in the fall. I haven’t taken any for about 25 years. Ack!

#5 – I once slept outside in line for New Kids On The Block tickets. We didn’t even get very good seats.

#6 – I am Apple-obsessed. I have a Nano, a Shuffle, a video iPod, an iPod Touch, 2 iPhones, 2 iMacs, 2 Macbook Pros, AppleTV and an iPad.

#7 – In high school, my boyfriend made my prom dress.

#8 – My dad was 50 when I was born. My mom was 20.

#9 – I’m not scared of heights, but I am deathly afraid of falling.

#10 – All my life I’ve had a recurring dream about being at Disneyland and not having enough time to go on any rides.

#11 – If I had to eat only one thing for the rest of my life it would be Butter Chicken.

#12 – I used to have stick straight hair before kids. Now it’s pretty wavy. My feet are also a full size bigger.

#13 – I’m sometimes jealous of my friends that don’t have kids.

#14 – I once stayed up for 48 hours straight.

#15 – I was hit by a car when I was 12. I broke my collarbone and my wrist.

#16 – I never wear socks.

#17 – I like it when my girls want to watch High School Musical because I have a secret crush on Zac Efron.

#18 – My first concert ever was Debbie Gibson. The opening act was Bros.

#19 – When I was in high school my extra-curriculars were debate, newspaper and grad committee.

#20 – I got my first white hair when I was 20.

#21 – I often wipe my hands on my shirt.

#22 – I’m afraid of flying, and if I go too long without being on a plane, it becomes paralyzing. So I am always booking trips.

#23 – My favorite book and movie are both Little Women.

#24 – My dad was born in Mexico City.

#25 – After I moved away from home, my mom went back to finish high school. She graduated university at age 45.
