Love re-visting my blogs of the past. In some ways I have changed, in some ways I remain the same.
Here upon my 40th birthday, are 40 things you may or may not know about me:)
1- I collect the closure tags from bread, milk, bagels etc. I have a container at home and a bag at work of them. The bag at work of tags was suppose to be used for a craft? or sorting? never happened.
2- I love to do the laundry! Putting it in, selecting the settings, moving it to the dryer and then folding it (in front of the TV) Putting it away is another story.
3- I'd love to be a roadie for a band or just go on tour...
4- My new favourite singer: Gin Wigmore But will always be a PINK fan
5- I'd love to work on an assembly line or be a food prep person (the one who cuts up the veggies, fruit or other ingredients {not the meat}) but I do love the job I have. I think of my class as my classroom family. I also am very grateful for the women I work with and the support from my students' parents.
6- Ok maybe I would cut up the meat if I had gloves on. I think I can touch/clean/prepare anything if I had gloves on.
7- I have no chest (boobs) and I love it!!
8- I wear men's briefs sometimes. So comfy! Victoria Secret low-rise bikini underwear are my alternative. I hate thongs/G-strings.
9- Hair growth sucks at 40 (what the heck is going on!) Love laser hair removal:p
10- Not a big athlete but can be your biggest cheerleader:) I played water polo in university actually more like I trained with the water polo team because I only played one game as goalie. Yes we lost that game but we'd lost every game that season:O) Loved being goalie so much was goalie for the one season of Futsal I played a few years ago. We actually won games, thank you very much! so enjoyed it swollen fingers and all, even when I got the ball in the throat and couldn't talk for a bit!
11- I loved being pregnant.
12- My favourite movie of all time is The Princess Bride. My favourite colour is purple, my second favourite is navy blue and my third favourite is black. Favourite number is 2. My favourite flower is a tulip, any colour
13- A huge multi-tasker. If I am talking to you on the phone,I am doing 5 other things during that conversation.
14- I love Rockets, Sweet Tarts, real maple syrup and of course chocolate.
15- Wanna get my nose pierced, tiny little stud.
16- I was hit by a van when I was 5 years old, when I was getting off the school bus. What I remember is waking up and my Mom feeding me ice cream and then I remember them wheeling me up to my room and my Dad commenting how the whole bed fit into the elevator.
17- I have three tattoos and considering another: this quote "For there to be betrayal, there would have to have been trust first." Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games

23- I use men's deodorant. I stink and it stops the stink, also it is easier to find deodorant in the men's section.
