25 Things about me.

1. I don’t like coffee – I only drink tea.

2. I really, really dislike winter.

3. I’m trying to eliminate the word HATE from my vocabulary. In other words, I’m erasing hate because I am a huge supporter of the Matthew Shepard Foundation (http://www.matthewshepard.org/).

4. I enjoy cooking and my favorite kitchen tool is my 10 inch chef’s knife.

5. I enjoy a nice glass of wine or two or three or the whole bottle.

6. I actually like my job but not most of the crap that goes along with it.

7. I am a gadget geek girl and need to have all the cool stuff.

8. In 2007 I lost 65 pounds by eating healthy and exercising.

9. I want to loose another 15 pounds, then I’m done!

10. In April 2008 I took a running class and have since become addicted to running.

11. Speaking of running, I ran my first marathon in NY on Nov. 7, 2010.

12. I was going to stop running marathons after my second but who are we kidding, it’s addicting and I’ll run them as long as I can.

17. I completed my masters in Internet Business Systems right at the dot com bust. But I still use my degree in some way in my current job.

18. I want to learn how to surf off the coast of Australia. I already have two guys who will teach me.

21. I’m a huge opera fan and love cabaret but you will find some cheesy pop songs on my running playlist.

25. I have a huge magnet collection from all of my and my co-workers travels.
