Wow, this is exciting - my very first post on my very own blog!



After a subtle bit of nudging, I was tagged by Sydney and here are my responses:



1. Clothes Shop - Clothes shopping? What is that? Is that where you take your 2 daughters to the mall and follow them around while they go into every freaking store there and try to burn a whole in your credit card? Or were you talking about clothes shopping for myself? I vaguely recall buying a new top for myself at Macys when I was on vacation in Florida this past summer. Does that count?



2. Furniture Shop - Okay, let me explain to you about me and my relationship with furniture. I am the woman who used my grandmother's hand-me-down bedroom furniture until about 6 years ago when I bought my first bedroom set at the ripe old age of 40. My newest furniture purchases are a couch and loveseat that I got for dirt cheap at a Levitt's going out of business sale last year. I bet you are sorry you asked that question.



3. Sweet - I'm a total ice cream junky. Ice cream is like my crack - can't resist it. I'm looking into group therapy for my problem, but haven't found an Ice Cream Eater's Anonymous yet!



4. City - I love my home city of New York. I'm a Brooklyn girl born and bred and proud of it. However, I would love to visit the beautiful cities of Hawaii.



5. Drink - I am not much of a drinker at all. I will have the occasional glass of wine or a frozen pina colada, but that's about it. When I became pregnant with my first child 18 years ago, I , of course, stopped drinking and never got the taste for it again.



6. Music - I like a lot of different types of music and am willing to try most anything except opera and jazz. I'm not a big country fan either, but there are a few country artists that I enjoy. My favorite singers are Celine Dion and Mariah Carey.



7. TV Series - Okay, now your talking! I love all things reality. There does not seem to be any depth too low for me to sink when it comes to reality shows. I also love Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break, 24, Ghost Whisperer, Heroes (not so much this season though), and Criminal Minds (mostly because of Shemar Moore - yummy).



8. Film - I love action movies, musicals and comedies (but smart comedies, not these really sleazy comedies that are the rage lately). I'm not so much into the heavy dramas.



9. Workout - Hmmm, I think I've heard that word before. Is that the thing you do in a gym? Ooh I really don't like that word at all. I should be either walking or doing the treadmill every day, but I'm a very bad girl! If anyone has any inspirational words to get me back to the gym, I would appreciate it. I might not listen to them, but I will appreciate it.



10. Pastries - What's not to like? I love cheese, cherry and raspberry the most, but can't think of any I would turn down. Well that's not exactly true I wouldn't eat any weird ones like spinach or eggplant or something like that. But I digress.



11. Coffee - I discovered coffee a little later in life than most people. I was probably around 30 before I started drinking 1 cup a day and I still stick to that. I refuse to buy from Starbucks or any of the fancy coffee shops. In my opinion there's not a cup of coffee on earth worth over $5! Dunkin Donuts coffee is fine with me.



Well I hope this gives a little more insight into who I am. I hope I didn't bore anyone to death. Well this was a lot of fun. Thanks guys.
