45. My birthday is September 11th...now nobody forgets my birthday

49. I always said I would never leash my child, but now I realize that you have to! lol

59. I worked for the Children's Museum and got to work with the Governor and his wife.
60. I worked for 10 years with my ex boyfriends dad doing auctions, such as make-a-wish etc. I got to meet Dale Chahule, Samual L Jackson, Detlaf Schrempf, the cast of Melrose Place and countless others. I have checked people out whose bill was $125,000.
61. I am not a green thumb at all, I guess you could call me a black thumb because I kill everything.
62. Every Friday, Sage and I go to garage sales because what else is there to do at 7am?
63.I speak enough Korean to get me by, and Dad and I are going to do the Rosetta Stone he bought.
64. My newest thing is thrift shopping. I get a thrill out of getting a good deal on stuff, which is a huge shift from when I was younger and would buy tons of stuff new.
65. I ate 12 ice cream sandwiches last night.
66. I sleep eat alot and will wake up with food in the bed
67. My almost 16 month old daughter still hasn't hit 20 pounds yet.
68. Most people call Jeramy "Junior" because he works with his Dad so it doesn't get confusing, unless you are one of his neices or nephews they call him Uncle Norris because he checked into the hotel when Avery was born under that name and now it stuck
69. I use to teach swimming lessons to the 1st graders at Lakes Elementary
70. I love my family very much and am close to all my cousins. My grandma use to be the hub to everyone and sometimes I feel like I have taken over that role since I talk to everyone that maybe others don't.
71. I had my appendix removed
72. I am very much an inside girl, I like going outside but it can't be too cold or too hot
73. All of our favorite shows piss me off now Hawg Quest, Jon and Kate Plus 8 because they have totally sold out for the money. Those poor kids, I really can't stand Kate, she cares more about money than her own children.
74. My husband and mine's favorite shows are Ax Men and Deadliest Catch
75. I get about 1 kidney stone a month since I was 16 years old..ouch
76. There is one room in my house that has 3 elk skulls and countless elk and deer sheds, even making a valance for the curtains. The Man Room...thank goodness our new house has a living room I can decorate.
77. I finally bought something I have always wanted; a big comfy chaise lounge chair to read my books in, and low and behold I got it at a garage sale for $20, and then I found a matching slip cover for the chair and ottoman (normally around $90) at Goodwill that matches my couch perfectly for $15 bucks. Did I tell you I love a good deal!!
78. I drink way too much pop...I am a Coke girl, and I really don't like Pepsi, but will drink it if there is nothing else.
79. I am the youngest of the immediate cousins on my mom's side. Hettie, Huynoo, Haydan, Jinny, Eugene, and Me.
80. We recently got in touch with Jeramy's half sister that he didn't know he had until he was 18 and hasn't talked to in a really long time. So all in all he has 4 half sisters and 2 half brothers. I am an only child.
81. At first my daughter totally looked like Jeramy, now people say she is a good mixture of both of us.
82. Sage got my darker complexion and Jeramy's Green/Blue/Hazel eyes..lucky girl
83. When I was in graduate school I had a teacher named Dr. Holman and it turned out that we were related...I told him I bet he didn't expect to be related to the Korean girl in the class and he laughed. He brought in our lineage and traced us back to Roscommon Ireland.
84. A girl accused me of cheating in college (which I didn't) and then years later she applied for a job at my company and during the interview I made her feel like an idiot, by asking impossible questions like "what is 3,465 x 5,354?"...Karma is sweet
85. Jeramy is the only one that can get Sage to sleep..did I mention she was a Daddy's girl? We love our videoo monitor with night vision that plugs into our TV so we can watch her
86. Sage's room is decorated in a Hawaiian theme because I love Hawaii so much. She loves Regge and Hawaiian music too.
87. Every wall in my house is white with a hint of yellow/brown, so I guess they are beige. I need to get the courage to paint some like my cousin Becky.
88. My first car was a BMW
89. I am a realist. I plan for every contingency, and I am VERY impatient
90. I am mean Mommy, while Daddy is the fun one...someone has to be the strict one and it sure isn't going to be Jeramy.
91. I love my husband's homemade macarroni and cheese.
92. I use to play the piano and the violin, and performed at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.
93. I think I have 3 pairs of shoes that fit me, where as Sage has about 30 that fit her right now.
I would rather spend the money on her, so would her Grandma Sonia
94. If Sage were a boy, which we thought she was going to be, her name would have been Jack Lee after my grandpa and because everyone in Jeramy's family's first name starts with a J and their middle name is Lee. Lee is also Andreas's middle name and Marcus and Lucas' last name.
95. Even though I am obsessed with proof reading, ignore all the errors in this as I don't have the time to proof read it. If I could proof read for a living I would or do some type of reading ,I'd love it.
96. I have 3 undergraduate degrees from Saint Martin's College and my MBA from Saint Martin's University (Same school, they just switched to a university half way through) which is a Catholic School, where some of my teachers were monks from the monestary. My mom goes to church there every Sunday.
97. My favorite cereal is called O's
98. My favorite song is Anna Begins by the Counting Crows
99. My daughter and husband are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I love them with my entire being.
100. My highschool girlfriends and I get together at least once a month for "girls night" which now includes husbands and kids so that we stay in touch. One of the girls Kerry Mills and I have been friends since 4th grade.
Hope I didn't bore you too much, but now you know a little bit about me.
