My dorkable quirks

February 16, 2010

I’m a dorkable nerd… yes – I admit it and I’m proud of it. I had straight A’s in all my honors and AP courses in school, and I loved being teacher’s pet… so what!!??? Nothing wrong with that, right ;)

I’m an obsessive researcher… when I get a project to do (whether it’s researching pricing for a new album, or finding a new pair of sandals) I will over-analyze-it-to-death!!! I will make charts and tables until I make up my mind about anything!! This comes in handy in business, not so handy when it takes me 3 days to buy a pair of shoes, and by the time I decide on which ones I like they’re all out of my size! Ugh!!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE makeup… ’nuff said! LOL!   I’m a Bare Escentuals FANNATIC – I stalk their website like every other day to see what new eyeshadows they have!

I LOVE Jewelry – but usually never wear it … I refuse to wear anything ‘fake’ – so I spent an insane amount of money a few years ago when I was at the peak of my jewelry craze.  I invested in all sorts of precious gemstones – from tanzanites to Paraiba tourmalines, to sapphires, and all sorts of gems! (my hubby definitely doesn’t know about this one either… so let’s keep it a ‘websecret’)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE sweets and cookies… actually, not so much sweets – just cookies, cakes, and all sugary carbs in general. When I was preggers with my son, I seriously downed an entire box of oatmeal crème cookies in one day!! No joke!!!  (I’m hiding my face in shame right about now!)

I LOVE wedding cake, but I’ve never tasted the wedding cakes of the weddings I’ve shot… I don’t really know why! Haha!

I used to be in the fashion industry many years ago… but it only took me less than a year to realize I’m not a hard-core biieeatttch (pardon my French) … so I knew I wasn’t made for that world!! LOL!!

I HATE to cook.  Seriously… I hate the kitchen in general. I just wasn’t born with that gene. I can look at a fridge filled with food and I can never figure out what to make for dinner; but my hubby can look at a near-empty fridge and come up with an amazing meal for us to enjoy!!! LOVE him for that!!! – the worst part is that I have no desire to learn – I know… I’m a horrible wife! LOL!

You want to know what I watch all day long – NICK JR!!! I wish I was kidding here… sadly, my TV is always on Nick JR. – anything to keep my son happy and smiling… so since he loves his ‘NiHao Kailan’ and his ‘Yo Gaba Gaba’ and his ‘iCarly’ – what can I do?

I love iCarly as much as my son does!!!!!  I watch her show even when my son is taking his nap! And I seriously anxiously await the new shows as if I was a little tween myself… then I remind myself that I’m a 30 year old woman and should be watching shows like dateline or something… but you know what? I like laughing with my son and I think it’s ok to feel like a tween every once in a while!
