Randomness.

My sweet friend Carrie gave me a blog award! I have never had a blog award so I am totally stoked! Thanks Carrie!

I am supposed to list 5 random facts about me. This was really tough to come up with but hopefully you will find them interesting or at least somewhat amusing LOL! 

1. When I was 27 I left the fortune 50 company I had been working for since college to move across the country to San Francisco and start a completely new career in consulting. I told myself that if it didn't work out I would just live in the city, work at a coffee house, and be a starving artist. For a degreed accountant this was a BOLD move!


2. If I could start my adulthood over I would go to college to study Marine Biology and work with dolphins, preferably training them for Sea World.


3. In high school I actually went out on a date dressed like Madonna from Desperately Seeking Susan, layered tank tops, mini skirt, bows in my hair, and heels with ruffled socks. My parents STILL tell the story at every family gathering and laugh about it hysterically.


4. My first son was born 9 months and 2 days after my wedding. I had some explaining to do on that one...it was Maui!


5. When I was 2 our family took a Griswold Family vacation from Michigan to California in a wood paneled station wagon. It was my parents, my 18 yr old sister, 16 yr old brother, and my Grandmother. On the entire trip I pretended I was Cinderella. My Dad was Prince Charming and my Grandmother was the Evil Step-Mother (she was not amused). I ate nothing but Shrimp Cocktail and Chocolate Milk. I have no memory of the trip EXCEPT for seeing the ocean while driving the Pacific Coast Highway. I think that is what always fueled my passion to move to California. When I moved there and would drive the PCH I always had a feeling of coming home. Weird, huh?

And in turn I need to nominate 5 people as well! Problem is, most of my good friends and regualr readers have already been nominated LOL!. So, instead I am going to nominate anyone that leaves me a comment :) 

Go ahead, leave me a comment, I dare ya!
