Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

(To do this, go to “Write Notes” under your Profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people ( in the right hand corner of app) then click publish.)

1. I love the colour Purple, any shade and combination of the colour.
– This will never change. Favourite colour will always be purple! 
2. I love New York city, movies and shows filmed in New York city, books that take place in Manhattan, anything to do with New York City.
– This two will never change. In 2011 I finally made a dream come true by getting to see the Rockefeller Christmas Tree. Magical experience. 
3. My parents are my best friends. We travel together, spend a lot of time together and laugh a lot. Even through the times that make me crazy, I wouldn’t want them to be anyone else.
– They just spent 4 days with me in my condo after the ice storm since their house had no heat or electricity. 
4. I am addicted to facebook. I try to have a facebook free day, but it never seems to work.
– Yeah, hard to find facebook free days. I did however have a facebook free week when I was cruising in Alaska this summer. Two reasons….wifi on the ship too expensive and no wifi in Alaska. Small towns, and couldn’t even find a starbucks (LOL)
5. I find it truly amazing that I met one of my best friends at a black jack table in Las Vegas.
– Still holds true today. I love sharing that story with people who haven’t heard it before. We have been friends for 10 years now. 
6. I love my two nieces more than I thought possible. I can’t wait to see them grow up, I don’t want to miss a minute of it.
– I have a nephew now as well. He is three and a half and he is awesome. I am three times blessed in being Auntie Lisa and it is the best job in the world.
7. I love the fact that when I ask my niece for a kiss in spanish, she kisses both sides of my cheek like a European and then giggles.
 – One niece doesn’t even like to give out kisses anymore, she is almost 9. My 7 year old niece loves to hug and be hugged.
8. I wish I would have taken music more seriously and become a professional clarinetist and played in live theatre on Broadway.
9. I often wonder if my uncle hadn’t gotten me a job at a travel agency when I was 19, what I would be doing now?
– I think about this often. I think too long to really discuss in this post. But let’s just say there are plenty of things I would tell 20 year old me. 
10. I love James Taylor, and rain or shine (and there was rain last summer), I will always try to get to a concert of his with my JT buddy.
11. I have very high expections of others. At times, it causes disappointment, but sometimes people surprise you.
– I think that I am learning to try to not have such high expectations. In my life today, I think that I assume that everything is “maybe” until you tell me yes. “maybe” usually means no, so if it works out – BONUS!
12. I am a good friend, I give more of myself then I get back from others.
13. I like to entertain. I would much rather have people at my house than go to a noisy over priced restaurant.
– I am proud of my condo. I am very happy to have people at my house. Anytime. 
14. I do not like the beach. I don’t like sand in my feet and I don’t like the ocean. Give me a pool anyday.
15. I am grateful to have an aunt that is also a friend, who you can talk to like a friend, and trust like family.
16. I went to Paris and the best meal we ate (well I ate) was at the Moulin Rouge…oh yeah, and the lemon tart from the patisiere.
17. I went up the Eifell tower with a friend who is afraid of heights. But he still came with me, on my birthday. Thanks Brad.
18. I remember when my best friend lived in Mexico, I wrote her letters almost every day and sent care packages to her when my clients went to the resort.
19. I love that I have a two little boys in my life that I love like they were my own nephews. I love being their friend.
– These two ‘little’ boys are becoming young men. They go to a school where they have to wear uniforms and to see them in their blazers and dress pants with their white collared shirts, makes me realize they are not little boys anymore. 
20. I don’t like cats. Dogs….well, I am getting better. But don’t expect me to get one.
21. I love my condo. It was the right thing at the right time in my life.
22. If I could do anything else other than travel right now, and money didn’t matter, I would be chef or a photographer, two of the things I love to do in life.
– a travel writer who is a photographer. That would be my dream job. 
23. I am a self proclaimed tv junkie. Now that I have PVR, it is worse, but before, I would consider not going out if one of my shows was on. At least now I can pvr it and still have a life.
– I now have the Rogers Nextbox 3.0 – which means I can record up to 8 shows at one time and I have 3x the amount of recording space. Just means, I record more shows (that I end up not watching). 
24. I like that I have a travelling companion and I am crossing things off my places to go before I die list….next on the list New Orleans.
– new orleans was amazing. Food, music and culture. If you haven’t been, you should add it to your personal travel list. And we have also been to Hawaii and Alaska since this post was first written. 
25. wow…25 random thoughts is hard….I wish I knew another language…spanish or french or where I live, Hebrew or Russian. Just to spice up life…
– JUST posted the other day that something I would have told my ‘younger self’ is to stick with French class and have a second language. It really would come in handy in potential job opprotunities!
