It might surprise you that….

Many family members and longtimers who read my blog have known all of these fun facts, but some of the mommies I have begun to hang out with this year may not..... I thought it would be fun to exchange some information. For the mommies, I'll create a thread on our mommy website with this, because I'd like to hear from you to.... Here it goes...

It Might Surprise You That......

I made $3.35 an hour at my first job

I like rap and hip hop

I can recite all of the prepositions in the English language (and in alphabetical order) – Thanks to Ms. Dizzia’s 6th grade English class.

I have solved the rubrics cube hundreds of times (once in 11 minutes) – and I don’t know how I do it. I only have a few strategic moves, and the rest is trial and error.

I have a small tattoo on my lower back – I had it done in Woodstock in 1992 with Helen

I attended the 2000 inaugural protest against George Bush in Washington DC. (the only protest I have ever participated in)

I volunteered at the Medical Examiner’s office during the Ground Zero recovery efforts. We served food to the DMORT team. 3 AmeriCorps students were with me.

I’ve been to magic meadow. (twice) Once with Eileen, once with Uncle Tony and cousin David.

I was an extra in a Paul Reiser/Peter Falk movie a few years ago, “The thing about my folks” shot at the park down the street. I think that was the title. We never saw the movie.

I wanted to be a nun when I was a kid.

Lot’s of “I’s” so here’s other news:

Grandma Bootie arrived in New York last night to join Pop-Pop for a few days. Despite taking the red eye from Phoenix and with no sleep, she still was able to cook up a roast beef meal for us. Incredible.
