25 Random Things About Me

1. I was a straight ‘A’ GATE student and graduated high school an entire year early.

2. Thankfully, I graduated a year early because I got pregnant 3 months later. Book smart, sure. Street smart, not so much!

3. Being a mother since I was 18 is all I know. My every focus is devoted to my children.

4. I have never smoked a cigarette or even tried marijuana. And I didn’t say my first curse word until after I was a mother!

5. My husband is the best thing that’s ever happened to me and my children. The steady paycheck is not a bad thing either. Just kidding honey.

6. I gained a lot of weight after my divorce. Penniless single mom, working full time, going to college full time, and little league = Chicken Nuggets and Del Taco, unfortunately.

7. I’ve lost 30 pounds this year.

8. I love organizing, but I HATE laundry. I’m good with junk drawers, closets, labeling and storage. But ugh, the laundry must die!

9. My husband and I high-fived each other on our 5-year wedding anniversary because we both realized that we surpassed our previous marriages. You’d have to be divorced to understand that feat. LOL

10. I never tell a lie to anyone, not even my children. I have more hatred for lying than anything imaginable. Lies are at the top of my evil list. Did I tell you that I hate liars?!?!?

11. I have a crush on Edward Cullen, and my husband knows.

12. I like rock music and chick flicks.

13. My favorite wine is Moscato D’Asti

14. I have one sister and we are best friends.

15. I lost my last grandparent this past year.

16. I play the piano and am self taught.

17. I hate blow-drying my hair everyday. Such a waste of time.

18. If I could, I would wear flip-flops and jeans every single day.

19. I haven’t had a soda, even diet, in almost a year. I only drink water and an occasional iced tea.

20. I LOVE to cook and bake. Getting new kitchen gadgets and whatnot are exciting to me. My kitchen tools are my prized possessions. I record the Rachael Ray show everyday and usually try at least 3 new things each week from her menu.

21. I am a Jon & Kate plus 8 fanatic. Although, sometimes I want to poke Kate’s eyes out for being so bitchy to her helpful and loving husband.

22. My parents are still married to each other and so were both of my grandparents. My sister has been with her husband since she was 14. I am the black sheep of the family! Awww, poor Reyna. LOL

23. I talk to my mom everyday

24. I am embarrassed by my past and hope to get over that one day.

25. When I grow up, I want to be an oceanographer.
