40 Things About Me...

Simona, Paco and Milo's mom, has tagged me to play this game. Here are the rules: I have to write 40 things about me and include a recent photo, then tag three others to play.

1. I was born at Magee Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I lived in West Mifflin and have loved the Steelers since I was little.

2. I got my first dog when I was about 9 years old. Her name was Candy and she was a Poodle/Pomeranian mix.

3. I was a Grandma's girl. My Grandma lived with us from when I was born. She was an amazing cook and made everything from scratch. And yes, I can still work that bottom lip effectively. (I had hurt myself in the picture below and Grandma was making it better.)

4. When I was very young I loved to go to Story Book Forest.

5. I have my B.A. in Management with a Marketing emphasis.

6. Last year I obtained my certification as a Project Management Professional. It is a rather intense 4 hour test. K-8 was diagnosed with Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia and Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia while I was in training. She died a few weeks before my test. Needless to say, I did not pass the first time. But I did nail it the second time around!

7. As far as TV goes I love Last Restaurant Standing, The X-Files and Arrested Development to name a few. I did love Top Chef until Hosea won this season. Stephan and Carla were better chefs. Shame on Casey... I wish Carla would have never listened to her.

8. I spent 6 months during my junior year of college in the semester abroad program at Regent's College in London.

9. I hitchhiked across Ireland and kissed the Blarney Stone.

10. I looked for Nessie in Scotland, but did not find her. LOL

11. While in London, I taught pre-schoolers science at a private school. I also had a minor in elementary education. I also spent the majority of my time drawing in the National Gallery.

12. I have seen The Cure, Love and Rockets, The Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, to name a few, live in concert in the states.

13. I have seen U2 live in concert in the states and in Germany.

14. I spent 3 years in Frankfurt, Germany with my husband who was an MP in the Army.

21. I loved attending the festivals in Germany.

22. I loved shopping the markets in London.

 Suzuki also tagged me for a photo with the pups. There are many photos of all of us on our blogs, but how many of us have a pic with our Parents displayed? In honour of our Parents who do so much for us post a pic of your furry self with your favourite hooman, then TAG 4 others to do the same.

Since I am so far behind, I'm sure everyone has already done these so I will only pass it on to Tasha. But, if you have not done these yet, consider yourself tagged!
