25 Random Things About Natali Del Conte

I have been ignoring the "25 Random Things" thing on Facebook. It isn't because I don't find it amusing. It is mostly because I haven't found time for it. Today I was asked to do a segment about it for The CBS Early Show. It will likely air on Monday morning in the 8 o'clock hour.

For the sake of "research," I decided to start reading the lists that had been sent to me. I also made one of my own. Strictly for "research," of course. I must admit, it was more fun that I had anticipated. Enjoy and feel free to link me to yours. And anyone who dares violate #10 will be digitally blocked from my life! Don't even try!

1. I can tie a shoe with my toes;


2. I have a superhuman tolerance for spicy food;


3. I am related to the late Don Ho by marriage;


4. I have an unnatural fear of religious art that depicts violence;


5. My shoulders are double jointed;


6. I nearly lost my hearing as a child and therefore can communicate in very basic American Sign Language;


7. I get my heart broken at least once a year;


8. I can't stand weddings. If I ever get married, I will NOT have a wedding but rather elope somewhere in Eastern Europe;


9. I used to teach yoga and have my 200 hour certification from Yoga Alliance;


10. My parents are the only people on the planet allowed to call me Nat Nat;


11. I have an addiction to buying shoes, cooking knives, and serving platters;


12. I truly believe that I could win Dancing with the Stars;


13. I used to be a competitive tap dancer;


14. I come from a long line of women who taught hula dancing;


15. I am a pretty awesome water skier (if I do say so myself);


16. I stopped snow skiing when my parents stopped paying for it;


17. I have an intellectual inferiority complex to my best friend Sarra that I cannot ever seem to shake because she is so brilliant;


18. I know all the words to the following musicals: Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Dreamgirls, and Wicked;


19. I am afraid of developing bunions;


20. I have a comedic inferiority complex to my mother, who I like to refer to as the modern day Lucille Ball;


21. I can change my own oil and tires. My father insisted that I learn those skills before I was allowed to get my drivers license;


22. I still feel ashamed that I broke a pact with my sister that we would never live more than 15 minutes apart;


23. I all-too-often lip sync to Shakira songs (en español) while blow drying my hair;


24. I was on Romper Room in 1984;


25. I regret not learning to make pasteles and domplines from my grandmother before she passed away.

#3 and #8 confuse me. Is #3 saying she's married and #8 saying she ain't?
Maybe I understood it wrong.

Just as the saying goes, "life is like a guide, how would you like to write, it is what sort of book. So our own attitude determines existence. However, we have to go through significantly more meaningful guide, it can give us inspiration. by Supra Vaider High
