So I found this list on some random blog (of which I may or may not have been stalking).  :)  Anyways - since I am always at a loss for things to write about, I decided to play along.  Let me just reiterate something..... while I may always be at a loss for things to write about on this blog, I am NEVER at a loss of things to say - my mouth seriously has no filter.  Anyway - as I was saying...... here is the list.  Today is Day 1.

Ok - SO - a recent picture......

I'm the one on the right!  This picture was actually taken last night.  I love my puppy!

Ok - now on to 10 interesting facts about me.....

1.  I'm in LOVE with my puppy - as I said earlier.  But "in LOVE" isn't even a strong enough phrase.  I am completely, madly, infatuated with my dog - to the point where it's not healthy.  I'm obsessed with her.  I recently wondered if there would be enough love to share if I had an actual child of my own. 

2.  I'm terrified of lightbulbs.  I can't touch them.... I can't watch somebody else touch them.  They freak me out!

3.  I'm obsessed with The Amazing Race - never miss an episode.

4.  My dad's family is from Italy - they all still live there.  My mom's family is from Prague.  If I could move to Italy, I'd do it in a hot second!

5.  My mom met my dad on a cruise ship and I've always imagined myself marrying someone from another country too.  Oddly enough, my boyfriend is from Argentina so I guess that worked out for me!

6.  I won a free trip to Providenciales, Turks & Caicos last year.  I woke up that morning just knowing I was going to win (it was a contest on a local radio station).  And BOOM - I won!   

7.  I take a TON of pictures.... everywhere I go!

8.  I eat lemons like they're oranges - love them!

9.  I think pasta was put on this planet just for me to indulge in - at every opportunity I get!

10.  I don't have a smart phone - I still have a motorola flip phone.  It's purple.

 
Well, that's all I've got for today!
