Five Things

Wednesday Dec 20, 2006

I've been tagged by Skrocki, one of my favorite bloggers. I agree with her that this blog needs a sign of life. I am supposed to tell you five things you may not know about me, so here it goes:

1. This blog hasn't been updated in a few months because I spent the last year starting classes to get my MBA and heads down working on a giant project to deliver new ecommerce functionality for sun.com. Check it out for yourself by going to one of our product pages and selecting the "Get It" tab.
2. My family is super close. I have three sisters and talk to each of them almost every day. Same thing with my Mom and Dad. Some people say, Oh, your poor Dad. Um, hello? How about my poor cell phone bill? Actually, that isn't true. [Insert shameless plug for the Verizon "In Program" here.]
3. In high school, I won a Boston Globe Scholastic Art Gold Award for computer graphic design. Instead of a traditional college, I looked at art schools, such as RISD and Parsons. I quickly realized that art students spend the first year drawing and I can't draw.
4. Remember the show Spenser for Hire? I appeared on it back in the day. They shot an episode in Lexington, MA, where my pediatrician is located. My mom and I stopped to see what they were doing on the Lexington Common (which is a historical place...remember that dude Paul Revere?) and they needed a little girl to sit on a bench in one of the shots. I should dig out the VHS tape that has the episode on it. [Note to self: Find the VCR in the attic.]
5. I can't cook and I'm proud of it. As I say to my in-laws, "At this time, there is other value I can bring to this world besides cooking and popping out kids."

I'm tagging Gina (who made a cameo in my blog once), Martin (I can't believe he hasn't done this yet), and Joe (b/c I haven't seen any good HDTV rants on his blog recently).
