Beagle Mafia

15 random facts about me:

1. I am a Jersey girl born and raised at the Jersey Shore although the " tv show" is not an accurate portrayal of Jersey Shore people but that is for another blog.

2. I am part true American Indian as my grandmother's grandmother was 100 percent American Indian. I have yet to use that distinction to my benefit at all. Although, I am very tempted to check that box when I apply for my financial aid for school.

3. I am student studying medical billing and coding and hope to get my Social Science degree next year. I am so happy I made the plunge to go back to school and become something other than just your typical stay at home mom and housewife. I actually really enjoy receiving an education and I am getting a lot more out of it compared to my post high school college life.

4. I was once an only child for quite a long time. There is a 13 year age gap between my brother and I. There is a 17 year age gap between my sister and I. Makes for an interesting sibling dynamic.

5. I have worked as photographer, retail store manager, medical records clerk, nanny, legal assistant and chiropractic assistant. Right now my main job is my beagle rescue as acting director. I usually consider myself a beagle air traffic controller.

6. I was once on HBO Real Sex. It was once filmed in a night club I use to frequent.

7. I am a Disney fanatic and it truly is the happiest place on earth. I will fight anyone who tells me otherwise. There is nothing like the feeling of approaching those magical gates. I also suffer from Disney Depression when its time to leave. The funny thing is, I never experienced Disney as a kid. It was not until I was 25 when I made my first trip. My child on the other hand has been going since the age of 9 months and still loves it.

8. I am obsessed with the color red and I can pin point when my obsession started. It started with my red Kitchen Aid mixer and continued. I now have purses, dishes, shoes, clothes, washer/ dryer, and its part of my rescue logo. Something very empowering about that color.

9. I still frequent the baby isle in stores even when I no longer have a baby to buy for. I adore baby equipment and clothes. Lately, its office supplies and stationary items.

10. I have OCD. It totally consumes my life and I have not found a way to truly control it. Sometimes I am grateful that I do have it as it keeps me neat, organized, and clean. I have a real hard time functioning in clutter and mess. The flip side is that it drives everyone else around me crazy and causes a lot of contention in my life.

11. I also love jewelry and not just any old jewelry that you can buy in a mall jewelry store. I like unique pieces and most of my jewelry is one of a kind.

12. I have come to realize that my rescuing nature doesn't not just pertain to animals, but people alike. I always try to help people in need and rescue them out of their own mess. The longer I do animal rescue, the more I dislike people so.......

13. I do not eat leftovers unless it comes off a hibachi table. I have it stuck in my brain that if I dont eat stuff fresh off the stove, its covered in germs. There is no talking me out of it. I check expiration dates on fridge and pantry items.

14. Dishes are not clean to me unless they come from the dishwasher. I am all about the steam sanitation more than I think they really get the dishes clean. I detest sponges and dish rages. People dont realize how much fungus and bacteria are harbored in them. I have also been known to carry Clorox wipes in my purse and wipe down restaurant tables after the waitress uses those nasty rags. PUKE!

15. I love to dance and I am always looking for an opportunity to do so. Sometimes I just dance around my room when no one is home. SHHH.....
