She Says: Gimme More
Morning! I had some Breakfast Tea in the form of a cold and delicious smoothie.
Yes, I had another White Tea Smoothie! This time, however, I left out the fresh strawberries and subbed in bananas, which make it sweet & flavorful enough to drink without any agave.
I’ve noticed new commenters, both with and without blogs, so “Hello! Thank you for reading my blog!” If you’re new I’m sorry if I haven’t made it over to your blog and commented yet. I’m getting through them and am really excited to check them out because I love finding new blogs! In the meantime, I want to get to know all of you a little better. One of the fun parts of having a blog is making connections with people who you would otherwise never know. I thought it would fun for everyone (blogers and non-bloggers) to share three fun facts about themselves.
Let me start:
- My left front tooth is completely fake.
- I was at Game 6 of the 1998 World Series when the Yankees beat the Braves and all was right in the world.
- Neither Mark nor I have left the country, but we both have passports.
Leave a comment and/or post the facts on your blog (but link back or let me know so I can read them).
Have a nice day!!!!
Hi! This sharing three things is fun!
1. I’ve broken both my right arm and my right leg in separate incidents as a kid.
2. I am super competetive.
3. I love buying handbags!
1. I can make my tongue touch my nose.
2. I have lots of tattoos, which for some reason seems to initially surprise people.
3. I have a sort of reverse foot fetish. Feet disgust me. Most of all, I can’t stand the feeling of another person’s bare feet touching my bare feet. It COMPLETELY freaks me out. My husband used to tease me about it, until I almost gave him a black eye. Oops!
this is a fun little game
1. i have a titanium rod holding my humerus together because i broke it snowboarding..
2. i can say my ABCs backward better than i can forward
3. i was deported from canada.. that sucked.
1. in middle school, i had this bully that teased me for being chubby. he recently added me on facebook, and sent me a message telling me that i am beautiful and he wishes we had been better friends… what?!
2. i practically grew up on the water, sailing with my dad all over the world. it makes for some pretty fantastic memories.
3. i can amuse myself for hours in the kitchen. cooking for myself is a sort of therapy, but cooking for others often stresses me out!
that was so fun! inspired by you, i just wrote a looong post about some random facts about myself. it was about time i introduced myself on my blog anyway
i’ll give you three as a teaser, but visit my post to read them all!
1.) i won the best game award in my computer science programming class even though i hated the class
2.) the only celeb i’ve ever met was bill rogers, an elite runner who won Boston Marathon multiple times
3.) by this fall i will have attended four different colleges (ok, so two were only for summer classes but still crazy, right?)
1. I hate coffee. In all forms.
2. I have freakishly flexible fingers and toes. It’s practically a party trick, they’re so absurd.
3. I’ve never seen any Star Wars, Godfather, or Lord of the Rings movies. Any of them.
Wow! Such a wide range of people read this blog! Fantastic!
1. I’m addicted to languages! I spoke Italian before I spoke English (even though I grew up in New Jersey…), I now speak Polish and Slovak and can read Czech and Croatian pretty easily! One of my goals for the summer is to pick up Welsh!
2. I LOVE horror films! the cheesier the better!
3. I just started running less than a month ago and I am running my first 5K in 2 days! I’m so nervous!
fun!!
1. who knew?! my left front tooth is fake too!
2. i’m training for my first marathon in october
3. i lodgesat in roatan, honduras last summer and learned to scuba dive
1. I went to Space Camp when I was in the sixth grade. I wanted to be an astronaut when I was little.
2. I played softball (fast pitch!) for 17 years.
3. I played the trombone for 12 years, but that doesn’t mean I was ever any good!
1. I spoke at my high school graduation (not the valedictorian, though)
2. I’ve met Slash from Guns n Roses (LOVE him!!!)
3. When eating pumpkin pie, I slice the filling into squares then eat it off the crust
How fun! Well lets see–
1)I subscribe to about 14 different magazines.
2)I have not eaten red meat since I was 13–so 5 years!
3)I went to college a year before I graduated high school+moved away from home when I just turned 17.
1) I am terrified of small animals- rats, mice, hamsters, even squirrels sort of. . .
2) I literally start thinking about my next meal the second I finish the one I am eating.
3)I WISH I was better at languages. I am learning Spanish now and finding it SOOO dificil!
I think I love the glasses more than the smoothie – where are they from?
I posted these on my blog, but here goes:
1. I had never been on a rollercoast prior to six months ago, and I hated every minute of it.
2. I have never broken a bone or had chicken pox.
3. I type 90+ WPM with only 2 fingers. My typing teacher in high school tried to force me to type the right way but this is how I learned so it’s kind of hard to stop.
what a neat idea i’ll do it in my next post for sure!
1. I broke my wrist on my 10th birthday roller skating.
2. I drove a fork lift at my first job.
3. I was on the varisty fencing team in college.
oh goodie goodie gumdrops
1. My first job was (after my first year of college) at a Landscaping, Family-run Nursery. I was paid under the table equivalent to what I made with my last job as a Master Instructor.
2. I told people that I was allergic to peanut butter and celery ( which is the word that cost me the spelling bee in 3rd grade) because it made me cough. I eat both in massive quantities now.
3. I tweeze the knuckle hairs on my fingers.
more randomness cuz its fun- I was a cheerleader for 10 years, I was a ballet dancer for almost 7 years. My mom was a professional ballet dancer and my dad was a Navy Seal turned Marathon runner. I am totally my parent’s child it is ridiculous.
I linked back on my blog

Awesome.
Here’s my three:
1. I skipped first grade. I knew how to read at 4th grade level by the time I was 3. I’ve only gotten dumber since.
2. I once OD’d on helium when I was 8. I took a hit from a balloon, it cut off all oxygen to my brain, I started running around in circles and slid down our steep driveway on my face. Drugs are bad.
3. I use to wear lipstick ALL THE TIME. Even during my college basketball games. Oh gawd, I’m so ashamed.
Hi! I know I’m late with reading this post b/c of my cross-country excursion…
1. Every single day I get more excited that football season is one less day away (GO PATS!).
2. I know I should somehow get rid of the hair on my toe knuckles (shaving?) but I just don’t. Heather has told me before to do so.
3. I know how to count to 10 in Hebrew, and know LOTS of Hebrew terms, but I am not Jewish. Many of my Jewish friends tell me that I am more Jewish then they are.
And a bonus #4…
4. I know how Heather lost her left front tooth (cheerleading is a VERY dangerous sport!).
[...] the Fun Facts Comments were such fun (who knew so many people had fake teeth issues like me!), I thought it would also be [...]
Okay, I’m a little late to the game but didn’t want to miss out on the fun:
1. I’m 27 and my left, bottom eye tooth is a baby tooth. And it’s loose (uh oh).
2. The name on my birth certificate is different from the one on my passport/driver’s license (and not because I’m married or anything).
3. I am strangely able to sense where the is a bug or spider in a room.
1. I love to travel yet despise planning trips.
2. I have a bone popping out of my right shoulder.
3. I was born on Dec 7 and was married on June 7 – I think the six month distance is weird and I didn’t realize it until I was well into planning.
OK, I’m really late but this is fun!
1. I have TWO fake teeth! (I win). Both of my lateral incisors are implants – I was born without “adult” ones. (And it took me a year and a half to tell my boyfriend this).
2. I was also born on Dec 7th aka Pearl Harbor Day… my mom felt obligated to name me PEARL until my dad talked her out of it. Thank god.
3. I lived in Milan, Italy for 6 mo. And didn’t know a lick of Italian when I showed up.
Way late, but I agree this is fun!
1. I broke my nose wakeboarding last year.
2. My youngest sibling is 18 years younger than me.
3. I have never left the country either!
Also late, but here goes:
1. My hair was stick straight until I hit puberty and then it became really curly. The same thing happened to my brother and sister.
2. I do not like to sleep with a top sheet; I only like to have a comforter on top of me.
3. I played rugby for two and half years in college. I was not very good but I liked it.
