Getting to Know Maria....

GETTING TO KNOW ME:

1. If your doctor told you TODAY that you were pregnant, what would you say?
I would say "No way, Jose, this uterus is RETIRED." It's not literally retired, but I prefer to be done pushing anymore tiny humans out of this body.

2. When was the last time you flew in a plane?
Our last trip to Pittsburgh -- still regretting that trip, that's for sure!

3. What is a goal you would like to accomplish in the near future?
I'd love to have my bedroom feeling more like a sanctuary and less like a laundry room.

4. What was the last TV show you watched?
I am obsessed with reality TV, even if they are re-runs, so I just finished watching Make Me A Supermodel. Repeat, surprise, surprise. Waiting to watch Biggest Loser when Ryan comes home!

5. What are your plans for the weekend?
Relaxing...Ryan and I have a babysitter for a couple hours on Sunday -- yippee, a DATE! So, we'll probably go out to dinner and then for the rest of our date, I suspect we'll look at each other, wondering where we could go for an hour...haha....

6. If your significant other asked you to marry them TODAY what would you say?
Considering we are already married, I would ask him if he drank too much Benadryl. I'm kidding. I would happily marry him again, but this time, invite only the people that care about us genuinely.

7. What is in the back seat of your car right now?
2 carseats.

8. If you could marry any celebrity today who would it be?
I wouldn't. Don't you know that celebrity marriages barely work? I was devastated when Jen and Brad divorced and still am in denial about Nick and Jessica.

9. What is the best ice cream flavor?
Mint Chocolate Chip (with the shredded chips...not the big chunky chips)

10. Are you allergic to anything?
Fish (not shellfish), penicillin and diets.

11. What is something you have learned about life recently?
I surround myself with good people who genuinely care about me and my family, that not all families are perfect (or even nice) and that when you wash a green crayon and dry it, that it will probably ruin all the clothes with it.

12. What do you do at work?
I change diapers, I make breakfast, lunch and dinner. I clean up toys, do laundry and make the bed. I play with my kids and sometimes, I get to surf the internet!

13. What have you done for yourself lately?
I decided not too long ago that it's important for me to feel good about myself. So, I bought a few new outfits, started working out, and when I go out, I dress like I'm going somewhere. I don't want to look like I'm in my jammies all the time, so I get dressed and give myself a purpose...

14. What do you love to do?
I have become a Bingo fanatic...I still enjoy scrapping and most of all, I love being a wife and momma to my family.

15. Favorite quote?
"You can't control how you are perceived. You can only control how you are presented." (From some guy on Tim Gunn's show.) I have been saying this over and over to myself lately and find that I'm a complete believer.
