Noradeen in Connecticut
Monday, December 31, 2007
You know someone is smart when you don't quite understand what they do. That's Noradeen of Connecticut. She's our resident whiz galpal, good with numbers and even better at raising daughters. She's looking forward to the New Year -- organizing the home office and getting more zzzzz's. (Suzy, too.)
In her closet
winter must haves?
A Triple C Northface Coat, it's warm, lightweight and long (concealing). I wore it to Einsteins over my pajamas on Friday morning to get bagels for 8 still sleeping 8th graders and no one knew I was still in pajamas!
LaCanadienne Boots - better than butter (and warm)!
most comfy item in your closet?
J.Crew pajama bottoms - love them
favorite makeup item?
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Radiant Touch - translation - fabulous undereye concealer
if you could only have one item in your makeup bag (in hand bag) it would be…
Burt's Bees Lip Balm and No-Crack hand cream
On her nightstand…
what are you reading?
Anna Quinlin's "How Reading Saved My Life", Stephen King's "On Writing - A Memoir of the Craft" and "Skinny Bitch"
On a night out…
what are you drinking?
Chardonnay with lots of ice - otherwise a constant flow of Seltzer -
On the couch…
what TV show do you DVR?
Grey's Anatomy with my daughter
On your laptop…
website you check daily?
Personal - usually www.weather.com to plan which days to run outside vs. spin inside - when training get completely OCD and check/recheck the "hour by hour" weather to make sure I have the best day planned to do a long run
For work, www.mscibarra.com
Most embarrassing download on your iPod?
hmmm......not so much the quality - but the quantity - very embarrassing to see how many times iI've listened to the same song(s) - when I'm stuck on a song and it has a great tempo - I've literally ran 10 miles listening to same song over and over and over again.....
In your dreams
if you could be a senior in College again... one thing you would change
made it (somehow) last longer
first thing you do in the morning
alarm goes off at 4:50 am- listen for weather, get up and either run or go to gym to spin
last thing you do at nite
make sure alarm clock is set and then kiss my husband goodnight
if you could give $1 million to a charity you would.
To be honest, I wish had as much money as the Gates Foundation - (sadly, $1 million doesn't even cover the cost of college education for 10 kids for 4 years........),
since it's only $1 million - I'd find a charity that clothes, feeds, gives shelter and educates to the poorest families - that would be a gift that could possibly keep on giving back to society
President for a day you would pass a law that…
end the war asap
new year's resolutions...?
do you think they're meaningful?
LOVE THEM - I'm a total list person
if you were to make resolutions what would your top 3 be?
•Be more patient
•Remember gratitude every day
•Get more sleep
•Organize and keep organized my home office
•Try and cook something a couple of times a week
More than 3 i know...
