Day One.... List 20 Random things about yourself.

Here I go! Twenty Things... Random and all. 

1. I was named Maria, after the lead role in The Sound Of Music... but my MomMom always thought I was named after her, but it was just good luck that her name was Maria, because my Mom decided her daughter will be named Maria years before meeting my Dad... LOL
2. I am a redhead, and I love being a redhead but I was teased alot for the color of my hair when I was a child... so I was not a huge fan of my hair color back then.
3. I took piano lessons for years but I can't hardly play chopsticks...
4. I spoke fluent German for years to speak to my MomMom but after she died I stopped speaking it and now I can't hardly remember any words. 
5. I had a lapband installed in March of 2010... I have lost over 120 pounds thanx to my band...
6. I am currently preparing for Gastric Bypass surgery, which will help me get the rest of the way to Goal....
7. I met my husband George, who is the love of my life, in a mall shopping at Christmastime, over 20 years ago.... He is the sun, moon, and stars of my universe.
8. I went to middle school and high school with TV's Tina Fey, and we were in Summer Stage together... I am very Dramatic! A Drama Queen some may say...
