100 things about me: installment two

81. I have twin nieces – Cass and Livvy – who just turned one. They are walking maniacs. I love being an aunt.

82. One of my all-time favorite foods is mushrooms. When I’m out, I tell the waiter that I want my pasta with “extra, extra, extra mushrooms, and just when the chef thinks he’s put in enough, he should add some more.” Eighty percent of the time there’s not enough.


83. I’m a voracious reader, always have been. When I was little and my mom would make me clean my room (which was nearly always a declared natural disaster area), I would hide on the floor on the other side of the bed and read. She would come in to check on my progress (which was nearly zero) and catch me reading. She would confiscate the book and put it on the roll-top desk in the hallway. Let’s just say that by the end of me “cleaning” my room, there were usually no fewer than 10 books stacked on the desk.

84. I pluck my eyebrows in the car. The lighting is much better than in my bathroom.

85. I did the marriage thing once. It didn’t work out. I would consider doing it again for the right person.

86. I know a lot about weird, miscellaneous subjects – like welding, construction equipment, disaster recovery, securities litigation and employment and labor law. One of the many benefits of being in PR. Besides, it makes me super popular at cocktail parties.

87. I can be very sentimental and a bit of a hopeless romantic.

88. My favorite numbers are 3 and 7.

89. I drive a sunburst orange Jeep Compass. Yes, the color is really called sunburst orange.

90. I imagined myself to be at a different place at this point in my life. Hopefully, the trials of the past are worth it for what hopefully lies on the horizon.
