Re: List 5 Things We Never Knew About You......

Wow...I so enjoyed reading ALL of these...everyone has led such amazing lives and conquered so much!

Here's Mine:

1. I am the third of six children. I was the third girl as well...my last name would have died with my father if he didn't have a boy. My brother was born two years after me. I have always felt like I should have been a boy...

2. My mother gave up custody of us when I was 9 after 3 years of hell when my Dad left. I have no relationship with her at all and have not seen her in over 10 years.

3. I am both thrilled and terrified to have my daughter. Thrilled to finally have that mother-daughter relationship and terrified I am gonna jack her up for life.

4. I hated and resented my father until I was 21 and he FINALLY left his second wife...now he is my mom/dad/best friend...

5. I worry about everyone close to me. At night I stay up and think about anyone close to me having a hard time and try to see what can be done to make it better. I have major sleeping problems beacuse of it and no one really knows this is why.

6. I completely trust 3 people in my life...DH, my sister, and my dad...it's hard when they let me down, even unintentionally, it is difficult to get over and I refuse to talk about it.

7. I never knew felt unconditional love until my daughter was born.

2. I am afraid of Michael Meyers (Halloween). I can't even go to a haunted house where his character will be there without getting scared.

3. I have a huge fear of death.

6. I don't have a good relationship with either parent, despite trying so hard.

7. My childhood cat, DJ, died last year at age 21. Even though I have another cat, I still miss DJ every day.

Re: List 5 Things We Never Knew About You......

1. I'm afraid of a lot of things, especially death. I'm also terrified of spiders. I also don't like driving by myself at night. It makes me nervous, mainly walking from the car to my apartment or to my parents' house.

2. I hate scary movies and try to avoid them. My HS boyfriend convinced me to see Scream in the theatre. I covered my eyes the entire time and was too scared to drive him home afterwards.

3. I worked at a day camp for 8 years. I never worked during the school year and didn't have a real job until law school.

4. If I weren't a lawyer, I'd be a teacher.

5. I don't like any kind of change. I was the kid who had the same lunch every day no matter what. I'd love to switch jobs and practice a different area of law, but I'm too much of a baby to take the first step and start sending out my resume. I'm afraid of the change and starting somewhere new. Eventually, I'll switch, but I'm not ready yet.

Re: List 5 Things We Never Knew About You......

1. I love Michael Jackson
2. I hate buying something when it is not on sale or I don't have a coupon

Re: List 5 Things We Never Knew About You......

1) My name is Andrea - but DH came up with Ang 10 years ago because of the way my name is pronounced.

2) I am cold to the touch - my feet my hands - always cold. Great for the summer when it's hot but torture in the winter.

3) I am deathly afraid of something happening to the piece of skin under my tongue. (I get skeeved even writing that).

4) I organize when there is a rain storm coming through and I am afraid of lightening.

5) I am addicted to Diet Pepsi.
