30 Things You Don’t Know About Me (Part 2)

At my friend’s surprise birthday party, a few weeks ago.

You can read Part 1 here.

  1. I’m a procrastinator. I try to convince myself that I work best under pressure (which is true), but the fact is it’s usually self-induced pressure. 
  2. My favorite color is green. I used to resist the fact that green was my favorite color because I always felt pressured to like pink. My birthstone is emerald and I remember not liking any emerald jewelry my parents gave me growing up. But now I’ve embraced it. 
  3. I love eggs. I eat 3 eggs every day; I remove 2 yolks to reduce the cholesterol. What’s crazy is that I was allergic to eggs as a child. But I loved eggs so much that I forced my body to accept it. Mind over matter.
  4. My other pet-peeve is when people don’t say “Please” and “Thank you.” I mean really, it cost you nothing to be polite.  
  5. I end every call with my family by saying “I love you.” I started doing that when I left home for college. You never know when the last time you speak to someone, is the last time.
  6. I’m a Twi-hard. I read the first Twilight book on the plane en route to my honeymoon and I was hooked. It was the first non-legal book I read after law school and it reminded me that recreational reading was enthralling. When we returned from our honeymoon, I read the other 3 books in 3 consecutive days. I just skipped sleep. 
  7. Naturally, after #6 the next question would be Team Edward or Team Jacob?  I’m Team Edward!  
  8. My favorite Disney movie is Sleeping Beauty. The artwork in that movie was spectacular. It’s also why my favorite composer is Tchaikovsky. My second favorite is Cinderella. I love movies with a little magic and a fairy god mother (or three).
  9. I’m a little OCD about hand-washing. My mom is a nurse and I have 2 dogs. Enough said. 
  10. My favorite fashion decade is the 1950s. Women wearing hats, pearls, full A-line dresses and gloves on a daily basis? Sign me up!
