100.....

100 things you might not know about me.

1. I don't have any tattoos and never plan on getting any. I've never liked them on the opposite sex either. Although Joe talks about getting dolphins(sub world)or his wife and daughters names- And either would be OK with me.
2. I really love been married. I love signing my new last name. When my new SS card came in this week... I had a big grin on my face. I'm not so fond of my new initials SLL-but...hey, can't win them all!
3. I love a good bargain. It's hard for me to buy something that isn't on sale/that I don't have a coupon for.
4. I am a hopeless romantic.
5. I really know nothing about makeup...even though I grew up in the beauty industry. I can barely put on blush correctly. My husband thinks this is great.
6. I love laffy taffy. And truffles. I don't buy either.
7. I wish I lived more green. But I don't know a lot about it.
8. I LOVE getting dressed up and going out to nice places. I would rather do that once a month then go to Applebees/TGI Fridays every week.

10. I am consistently re-evaluating my life - financially and emotionally.
11. When I was younger...I wanted to be a teacher. That's what I went to college for. Lucky for me they have you in the classroom 2nd year. Phew! I knew after my first day this wasn't the gig for me. Funny, I ended up in a classroom anyway.
12. I don't LOVE shopping like most women. I love a good walk with my husband. A good chat. A good book. Not a good stroll in the mall.
13. Purple is my FAVORITE color. I hate PINK. My baby shower invites will say. Purple only- if I am giving birth to a girl.

26. I feel like there is never enough time.
