Day 1-Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts
Introduce
Wow, I can't believe that I didn't already do something like that, besides in the "About Me" area - so here it goes....
My name is Courtneylee, I am 28 (not for too much longer) and I live in Pawtucket, Rhode Island with my husband, Kenny and three children - Angelina, 9 going on 19, Alianna who is 7 and acts 7 and then there is the man of the house, Dominic, he is 5. Kenny, 29, is an auto mechanic, has been for 13 years and he loves it, although I do think he is 'too good' for it, he should be working in the computer or electronic field but I don't complain - it is sweet having a car guy in the family.
The kids? What can I say about them...
Angelina, Lina, Angie, Bean, Beanie, BeanHead - she'll be 10 in July, she is very smart, mature and sensitive. She loves cheerleading and being with her friends. She prefers reading over television and would stop whatever she is doing to help someone else, she has a quiet voice, but if you take the time to listen, she'll amaze you with her thoughts and ideas!
Alianna aka Alikat - She is a handfull! She fits 'middle child' perfectly. Kenny and I both agree she'll give us the most heart attacks when she's a teen. She is free-spirited, not phased by what anyone says or does. She handles her own things - although she is a little punk, she is the sweetest girl you can meet (if u meet her at the right time). She seems to have her teachers fooled because they always tell me she is always an angel!
Dominic, Domi, Dom, Dominator - he tells people that his name is Dominico Puertorico but I promise you, his true name is Dominic Alberto, close, I know, but different and he tends to forget that. He is my mama's boy and I love it - hearing him say "i want to cuddle with mama" gives me the best feeling in the world! He enjoys playing outside with the neighborhood kids and watching the same movies over and over, he wants to be Lightning McQueen's biggest fan - I think he is!!
I truly think I have the best kids - they're completely different with their strong personalities, which sometimes clash, but for the most part, my kids are amazing!!!
A Recent Picture
This picture is from a couple weeks ago - it's not the greatest picture because it's just a "take a quick pic with my cell phone" picture but I like it - I like the color it makes my hair look - my hair is really a not-so-exciting brownish color - maybe it's time for a change!
15 Interesting Facts
Hahaha - 15 interesting facts... Didn't I already mention I am not that interesting? Why couldn't it be for random facts, or single words that describe me, but 'interesting' facts? Random I could do in breeze, but 'interesting' ... geesh, the pressure!!!
1) I prefer PopTart Smores over making my own smores at a campfire - ok ok, I know that isn't interesting one bit, but I just looked at my plate on the table with some smores residue and thought about how yummy it just was!
2) I have lived for 10,565 days, and I've shared 5,046 of those days being Kenny's girlfriend or wife! Now THAT is interesting, and shocking!
3) My favorite dog is a chihuahua, I liked them way before Paris Hilton and before the Taco Bell one and definitely before movies came out about them - they're not a designer dog, they are amazing, smart, fiesty little things and I love them - although, I would LOVE to own a great dane one day.
4) I am not so good at blogging - this is an uninteresting fact, but since it is true, it becomes a tad bit interesting
5) I am a bit obsessed with Jersey Shore, especially Pauly D - I know how stupid the show is but I can't stop - it's like a drug, not that I know what a drug addiction would be like, but if reality tv was a drug, I would be an addict for sure.
6) I have an addictive personality - see #5, websites, games at Chuck E Cheese, vanilla waffers, texting, music, napping (yes, i need a nap daily, I am addicted to naps, it sounds good, right?).. this is why I am not a drinker and why I don't go to casinos.. It would be very dangerous.
7) Honestly, I would die if I could never listen to music again - music is how I self medicate, it's my therapy, it makes me happy when I am sad, it makes me smile when i don't think I can, it makes me dance when I didn't think I could, it makes me ME! Music is my biggest addiction.
8) I don't cook - at all - I just won't. I can't! And what's worst than not being able to cook is having no interest in cooking, so I don't even try, I have no desire to try, at all! And even if I did, I know it would suck - so why bother.. yup, that's my story and I am sticking to it!
9) I would LOVE to adopt a little girl from China or Korea one day - it's always been my dream and I hope I reach it one day (Kenny just texted me while he is at the dentist with the three kids, no school today, and told me about a little adobted asian girl in the waiting room, how cruel!)
10) I've been with my husband almost half my life and he speaks fluent spanish, but I am still unable to speak one complete sentence in spanish - I've thought about getting Rosetta Stone, but I am too scared of failure.
11) Besides one night in a hotel in May 2005, Kenny and I never have had a get-a-way, never been kidfree for more than 24 hours, never just adult time - two weddings and no honeymoons - yes, you're allowed to say 'poor Courtney' :( and feel free to donate to a 'Courtney and Kenny getaway weekend' fund!
12) As much as I fear the ocean and boats, I really want to go on a cruise within the next couple of years... and even considering #11, I'd want to take my kids - those Disney Cruises look beyond amazing!
13) Never believed the people who claimed 'the world is going to end in 2012', and I still don't but I'd be totally lying if I said I don't think about it sometimes and believe that it is semi-possible... that scares me a lot.
14) I seem to always be able to point out other's spelling and grammar errors but I can't for the life of me proof read and correct my own writing - remember this when you're going through my blog ;)
15) I love my huge family - I have my mom's side, my grandmother's side, my grandfather's side, my dad's side, my stepdad's side, my inlaws - there's too many to count and there are some completely normal ones and a few off the wall ones but they're ALL my family members and I wouldn't trade any of them - they make me, ME! Oh and then there's my Superior Cheer family (where Angelina cheerleads) who I did pick and who I'll never leave! Love them!!
