Hey everyone! It's my turn!!!
So, I am Krista, or sometimes known as blankita719. Before Luce joined us, I would have probably worn the "Mama" title of this lovely blog group, but since she's here too, I'll claim the cool Aunt title :)
I'm 32 years old, which makes me infinitely old enough to know better, but still young enough to pull off some of my shenanigans. I wear many hats in my life...I'm a mom to the sweetest little boy ever, who is my entire world. I'm the oldest of 6 (1 full sister, 1 step-sister, 2 half-sisters and 1 half-brother), thanks to my parents divorce and my father's subsequent remarriage. I'm a long distance lovah to a great man and I'm a friend to some pretty amazing people.
I work as a legal assistant, which means I'm really a babysitter for attorneys. I work in a field of law that no one has ever heard of, but it's interesting nonetheless. I've been a working legal assistant since 2002, prior to that I was in school trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life.
I'm a complete bookworm - two of my favorite days of the year are when my local library does their annual book sale and I can stock up on all kinds of goodies. I read lots of different kinds of fiction, but my favorites tend to have a legal slant (hence why I work in the legal field). I no longer read romance novels though, I feel like they are the same story over and over and they bore me.
I have a pretty eclectic music collection, and I love all sorts of music. I;m not a huge fan of country but I have some artists that I like and will listen to. My favorite singer is Sarah McLachlan and my favorite band is currently The Avett Brothers (Don't know them? Check them out - they're an alt-blue grass band which may sound weird but they are freaking awesome). I love to get down to some spanish music and shake my hips too! If I had to pick a favorite genre, I'd go 90's alternative, mostly because that's what I listened to in high school and it just makes me happy.
I live near the beach, which I love. It's one of my favorite places to go in the world. I'm also fairly close to a bunch of theme parks, Sea World, Disney and Universal Studios. My favorite is Sea World, my son and I have annual passes and go as often as we can get away. It's also convenient to live here in Florida since I hate super cold weather, however not so convenient to be in love with some one who lives in New England.
I have a great appreciation for John Hughes films and Kevin Smith films. Some of my favorite movies include The Breakfast Club, Heathers, Chasing Amy, Dogma, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Beauty and the Beast and Say Anything. I have a weird celebrity crush on John Cusack, so I'll watch pretty much anything he does too.
All of my favorite tv shows are gone now...I was a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alias, and Lost. Now I rarely watch current tv, and just use my Netflix to load me up on stuff to watch. Although, How I Met Your Mother is a really cute show that I do try and stay current on.
I carry my camera with me most of the time, because I like to take random pictures of my life, but I make no claims that they are excellent shots. I don't have the patience to take really good pictures. My son likes to cheese for the camera, so I've got tons of pictures of him. And the dog. We have an italian greyhound named Rico, who is very sweet but drives me a little insane some days. I bought my house just under a year ago after I gave up the fantasy of finding Prince Charming to come and sweep me away...and then he showed up, but that's a story for another day.
And I am sure that's more than enough to tell you about me...looking forward to writing with all of you!
