25 Random Things...

I've been tagged a couple of times on Facebook to list 25 random things about me. I figured that instead of posting there, I would post here in the hopes that some of you would also share some random facts.  Here you go:

1. 10 years ago I thought that I would never get married or have children. Now I can't imagine my life without Joel and Brice.
2. I believe that my husband is the smartest person that I know but I would never say that to his face.
3.  I will not answer my phone when I'm driving because it cuts into my singing with the radio time.
4.  In 1995 I was a guest on the CBS national morning show and I sat in the green room next to Val Kilmer.  He was promoting the movie Wyatt Earp and I was talking about racial prejudice in Greenwich.
5.  I was the most cynical cheerleader ever, yet somehow I managed to be voted captain.
6.  I share my birthday with my sister, Allyson, and I absolutely love that.  While we have totally different personalities, we are both classic Leos.
7.  Someday I would like to write a book and at this point I am seriously considering reaching out for help on where to start.
8.  In college, I hosted two radio shows.  One was called the Prisoner Request Hour and we would take requests from prisoners at Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary.  Needless to say, we played a lot of AC/DC and Metallica.
9.  On my other radio show, I had the honor of interviewing The Samples, Dave Matthews and Bob Dylan.  
10.  I have never wanted to run for political office but I can think of three friends that I would want to campaign for if they ever threw their hat in the ring.
11.  During my time at ABC I chased Monica Lewinsky on the back of a motorcycle, was given a sandwich by James Carville and was fired (and then instantly rehired) by Sam Donaldson.
12.  I have lived in four different states and have moved 16 times since graduating from college.
13.  I began my college career as an animal behavior major with the desire to write for National Geographic but I nearly failed every science course that I had to take.
14.  I consider my mom and my two sisters to be my best friends.  I tell them everything.
15.  I have carried a guitar with me for the past 12 years but I have no idea how to play it.
16.  I love to read and my favorite place to read is in the tub.  I have about three books that I can't wait to read sitting in the bathroom.
17.  I regret falling out of touch with my best friend from childhood.  Our parents are still friends but we haven't spoken in years.  I'm afraid to reach out to her for fear that she'll tell me what she really thinks of the girl I was in high school.
18.  I honestly believe that my son could be President of the United States, a professional hockey player or the scientist that discovers the cure for cancer... or all three simultaneously.
19. I actually really enjoy cooking but I still like eating more.
20.  I can't survive without dessert.  I tried to go a week without eating sugar and by day 3 my boss and husband both insisted that I get a candy bar.
21.  I can't go to bed at night with dirty dishes in the sink and I can't leave the house without making the bed.  This is all my father's fault.
22.  I love football and boating.  I credit my dad for teaching me all about these things and not treating me like a girly girl when I was growing up.
23.  I moved back to Connecticut from San Francisco but now I'm really thinking that I'd love to live in Los Angeles.
24.  I could not live without my blackberry, my blow dryer and my favorite pair of high heels.  
25.  I keep telling friends and family that we only want one more child, but in my mind, I think I'd like a bigger family.

We took Brice for his two month well baby appointment at the doctor.  I am happy to report that he is 14.5lbs and 24 inches long.  He had his first vaccinations, three shots and one oral, and was a champ throughout.  He cried briefly but once I gave him his bottle, he was all smiles again.  Here are a couple of photos from our trip to Florida and one for Grandma Elaine:

What kind of book are you writing? Can I get in on it and we come up with next Harry Potter? That should keep us rolling in it for a bit... =)
