It’s My Birthday!
It’s my birthday! Today I celebrate 29 years of life. I can’t believe all of the things that have happened in my life so far. I never thought that I would be where I am today but I am thankful for it all. I am so fortunate to have a loving family and amazing friends. I am also so fortunate to have this blog and all of you!
To celebrate my special day, I thought that it would be fun to share 29 random things about me that you may or may not have known:
- My favorite color is pink. (like you couldn’t tell)
- My favorite food is a cheeseburger. (a real one not the fast food kind)
- I love to read.
- My husband and I met when I was 17. I was in high school and he was in college. We’ve been together ever since.
- In August, my husband and I will celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary.
- My husband and I have moved 3 times since we’ve been living together. (soon to be 4)
- I watch the tv show Chopped religiously.
- My family is from a small country in South America called Guyana. It’s one of the few non-Spanish speaking countries in South America
- Since I was a teenager, I have had 7 jobs (2 were actual careers)
- I worked at an investment bank for 4 years before becoming a teacher.
- I taught preschool for 2 1/2 years before becoming a stay at home mom.
- I didn’t learn to drive until I was 20 (and it was my husband who taught me)
- I learned how to cook by watching the Food Network.
- The only celebrities that I have ever met were both chefs (Bobby Flay and Robert Irvine)
- I collect Hello Kitty beanie babies.
- I have a rather large Barbie Doll collection. (they’re all at my mom’s house)
- I have anxiety in certain social situations.
- I love to sing and can memorize the lyrics of almost any song by only hearing it twice.
- I play the alto saxophone.
- I like to write my own short stories.
- My favorite fruit is watermelon.
- I am a makeup addict. (I have a very large aluminum case filled with makeup)
- I am also addicted to Starbucks (my favorite drink is the Caramel Macchiato, both iced and hot)
- I LOVE doughnuts. I could eat a ton in one sitting.
- I’ve only left the country once and it was to go to Canada.
- I hate the taste and smell of beer. (Tequila is not my friend either)
- My two favorite animals are monkeys and owls.
- Sometimes I like to play with my daughter’s toys more than she does.
- And the last thing…I’m a total neat freak. I like to have a place for everything and everything in it’s place.
So I hope that you don’t think I’m too weird and that you’ve gotten to know me a little bit more. Now I’m off to celebrate my birthday by not doing anything for the next few hours before I have to head to class.
The happiest of birthdays to you. It’s amazing how fast time goes by. You are a very special lady, I hope you spend the day exactly the way you want to.
Thank you so much Rochelle! I had to go to school and spend my day in a 3 hour lecture but it was ok. I got cupcakes from my husband and my daughter when I came home 🙂
Happy Birthday. Have a great day!!!!
Thank you very much Sue!
