20 Things You Didn’t Know About Me

by

I treasure tabloids, especially the “25 Things You Didn’t Know About Me” lists. I’ve learned so much. Kim K. craves ketchup! Jessica Alba has a hot yoga studio in her house! Jennifer Aniston’s favorite cookies are OREOS! Or maybe that’s just what people have been saying. Either way, this post goes out to all of you tabloid devotees like me. Hope you enjoy!

  1. My doggie Freddie Prints is named after Freddie Prinze, Jr. because they have the same beautiful brown eyes. Freddie is a foodie (above he’s drooling over the menu at Pink Taco). Freddie wuvs Twitter – please follow him @FreddiePrints.
  2. I won a brand new Mustang convertible in 1996 in a Cox Cable contest in Orange County! Though I dreamed of getting a blue GT with leather seats and a stick, I happily settled down with my green convertible with beige cloth seats and automatic transmission.
  3. I detest green bell peppers.
  4. I love me some good junk food like Cheetos and Pop-Tarts.
  5. My favorite drink in my 20’s was a 7 & 7.
  6. My favorite drink now is a dry martini, straight up, no vermouth.
  7. I hate red wine because 99% of the restaurants in LA have terrible (and expensive) red wine.
  8. My parents have been married for 57 years and have known each other for 60.
  9. I’m an only child who thinks the world revolves around me (I’m working on the issue).
  10. Office Space is my favorite movie. I keep a red Swingline stapler on my desk at all times.
  11. When I’m on a road trip, I must stop at Denny’s for a Grand Slam breakfast and In-N-Out for a lunch of a Double Double protein style, chocolate shake, Diet Coke and fries.
  12. My favorite city abroad is Montreal: THE best people, food and party scene ever – and the home of Poutine.
  13. I don’t cook but I make a mean Red Velvet cake.
  14. In college, I was voted “Most Likely to Own a Gym.”
  15. I climbed Mt. Whitney, the tallest point in the continental U.S. at 14,500 feet, in ONE day – and I’m not a sporty girl.
  16. I’m obsessed with my nails and adore manicures.
  17. I think perfume stinks! Can’t we ban that stuff already?
  18. I’ve never missed one episode of “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette.”
  19. “Silicon Valley” is the funniest show I’ve ever seen.
  20. I learned to play the piano at age 6 and still play; my favorite composers are Bach, Chopin and Debussy.
