51-76

51. I have a love/ hate relationship with Nicole Richie.

52. I always doodle when I'm on the phone.

53. I don't read many books. The ones I do read usually have to do with a subject that I am into at the moment; IF, Pregnancy, Twins, Babies. There are occasional books that I have come across that totally rocked: The red tent

54. I am a huge celebrity trash junkie. I am on Perez or Dlisted daily. OK, hourly.

55. As a child, I dreamt of being an actress. I truly believed that I could become a famous actress if I chose to. I envisioned my NYC apt, and how my life would be.

56. Sometimes as I am randomly walking down the street, I imagine running into my favorite singer of all time: Gary Barlow. I picture myself telling him just how much I love his music, and him being surprised that he has American fans. We proceed to run away together.

The reality is, if I saw him I would probably hyperventilate.

57. Speaking of which, I was a huge Fred Savage fan when I was in elementary school (when the wonder years first began). I loved him. One day while I was a senior in H.S, me and a few friends decided to catch a Conan taping. While we were on line, everyone in the audience wanted to know who were going to be the guests on his show that evening. When I heard Fred Savage, I wanted to die! Everyone else was disappointed.

58. We ended up sitting in the front row. Fred Savage was looking at me the entire time! My friends agreed. When the show was over, Fred was passing by me- I screamed his name, he stopped, came over and said "Yes?". I stood there in silence. I didn't know what to say to this former teen crush of mine! He looked at me like I was crazy, and left.

59. Speaking of Conan O'Br*ien, one day back in 2004 while watching one of his episodes, he had mentioned that he had just had a baby girl and named her Neve. I was painting with the tv on in the background, but when I heard the name Neve I instantly lifted my head up. That was a name I gravitated towards.

60. I love cartoons. My favorites are of course: The Simpsons, and Family Guy

61. I may sound weird, but I actually truly care for my blog friends- as if I knew them in real life.

62. You know who you are.

63. I told my mother last week that my brother has AS, and she took it surprisingly well (and didn't call me a liar)



64. My favorite number is 64 (my bday). For some reason every phone number I ever had, included the numbers 64 (consecutively of course).

65 I don't think I have truly dealt with my grandmother's passing.

66. I know it will hit me like a ton of bricks when I go to Israel next month, and visit my grandparents empty house.

67. Whenever we had leftovers as a child, my grandmother would take it out to the alley by her house to feed to the stray cats. When I asked her why she would do that, she said that cats have souls too.



68. I was Mary Poppins in my 1st grade class production.



69. When my solo came up (You go fly a kite...) everyone in my class sang along with me, so it drowned me out. It made me sad.



70. I am by far, the messiest eater in the world. I get food everywhere. My husband says I need to wear a bib.

71. I found out on Friday that someone in my office is pregnant with twins. I proceeded to poke my head into her office and say "Did I hear you are having twins?".

72. She asked for advice, and I gave her some. It's nice to be able to be the one to give the advice.

73. I am not that involved in politics. I find it interesting to see the Democratic candidates duke it out, but ultimately, I think ANYONE will do a better job at running this country than our current president.

74. I started the South Be*ach Diet today and all I'm craving is carbs!

75. I don't think I should have "eaten for three" when I was pregnant. I am definitely paying the price today.

76. If I won the lotto tomorrow, I would probably quit my job (if I won a substantial amount that is), stay home with my girls (of course, home would be much bigger!) and get to enjoy them. I truly wish I could spend more time with them. I'm afraid that they will resent me for working during their childhood.

I care about you too!!! I love reading the things about you, we really do have so much in common.

Good question about Maddie burning too many calories with her breathing. I am definitely going to ask the Pediatrician about that one. None of the doctors are concerned about her weight, which should be reassuring, but it isn't!

Do you really know Nicole Ritchie?

GG I really admire how you work, and have babies. I think it's important that they see their mum work, especially as they get older.

I'm so impressed you told your mum about your brothers suspected AS.

I care about you too! Mr TC was looking at my Facebook page, straight away he asked who you were. I said "a chick who blogged about IVF and now she has twins. She lives in NY." He said you were very pretty :)

I don't know if you were talking about me, but I care about you too :).

I can't believe you told your mom about the AS thing, lol. Maybe she's known all along and kept it a secret.

Damn, I typed out a comment and thought I submitted it, and it didn't show up. So I'm going to try again ...

First of all, #76. You are crazy! Your girls are going to be so proud of their mom, who showed them that you can have it all! You can work, have a career, and still be an amazing mom. Don't for one second think any different!!

Unfortunately, we can't go on Sunday. We have our friend's daughter's first birthday party ... and since they came to the twins, we have to go. But I'll be thinking of you!

And I care about you too! I really hope that we can plan a time this summer to meet up! Maybe in NYC?

I feel the same way about the people I read about. I swear my family must think I'm crazy always talking about these people I've never met.

Freezing up in front of fred cracked me up!

The girls look absolutely adorable in the post below!

Oh! I know I was going to send you a link to a random blog I read (I don't comment on it but I subscribe to her feed cause her life is like a fairy tale and I'm fascinated by it). She recently went to Israel and has some posts talking about her trip I thought you'd be interested in. http://melissacmorris.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

I second everyone's comments about caring about my blog friends...you guys know SO much more about me than most people; it's like my secret circle of friends :)
And I LOVE giving advice to pregnant women (only if they ask, of course). I have some friends pregnant with singletons so they think I'm a pro (aren't I!?!??).
I'm starting a diet/exercise program next week since I've hit the nine month mark from having the girls and still could pass for 3-4 months pregnant! Daniel & I are doing a six-week program so hopefully I can make it. You'll have to let me know how the SB diet goes for you!
