101 Things About me

1. I am obsessed with the colour pink. It really does make me feel better and makes your skin look better. I just love it.
2. Many of my friends really do call me "Princess". It started as a bit of a camp joke and now it has stuck.
3. Other than toes and fingers, I have never broken a bone. (this changed in November 2008, broke my ankle when drunk. It will never heal. of the joys)
4. I am a klutz. It is a rare week where I don't trip and fall in public 
5. I am obsessed with handbags. My first one was a Louis Vuitton Monogrammed Papillion when I was 16. The collection is now close to 100.
6. I went to an all girls school from nursery school to the end of high school.
7. I'm hard of hearing, that's why I speak so loudly.
8. I am not obsessed with shoes, although many people think that I would be.
9. I have bought a few baby outfits that I just love over the last ten years for when I do have my own baby (only 3, but it's still weird and probably some sort of bad omen).
10. I don't buy groceries. I can't do it. Never have. I buy for the day if I need them, otherwise I end up throwing out too much food.
11. I buy the InStyle Weddings and Martha Stewart Weddings issues every time and save them in case I ever get married. (Bad omen number 2 perhaps???)
12. I have a horrible ability to name musicians.  I like all sorts of music, but ask me what and I can't tell you.
13. I have never really dated.
14. I commit to so much volunteer work because it keeps me away from focusing on my own life and issues.

20. I was never in a sorority, although everyone who knows me is surprised to hear that. They didn't want me, if you really want to know the truth. I told everyone that I didn't want them. I think that I am glad that they didn't want me. I am better off without those girls.
21. I love linens. I think because they always fit!!
22. My father thought I was fat when I was a child (around 5 yrs old and up). I don't see it in any of the pictures. I think him telling me that for so long, has made me struggle with my weight and be overweight now. It's like he was prophesying my future.
