It's hard to think of a movie or TV show...Maybe like Charlotte and Harry from Sex and the City. Not b/c I initially wasn't attracted to him, but I was coming out of a serious relationship, we randomly hooked up, I didn't want it to mean anything (but of course, it did), and he pursued me until I realized it didn't matter that I had just left another relationship. I especially appreciate the Charlotte character more now after seeing her go through IF issues.
My first album was MENUDO...hahaha! I even had the poster with Ricky Martin. What can I say, I grew up in Puerto Rico.
I can't think of an embarrassing song...but with my job at an ad agency, I hate dealing with sales reps calling me daily. Some know how to be professional, but others are so naggy.

What TV or Movie couple most remind you of you and your S/O? Jim and Pam from the Office. We are told this quite often that we look like them.
What was your first Record/Cassette/CD (and tell us which medium it was)? Michael Jackson's Thriller- Record. When it was released. I am old.
Can you remember the first song you liked that you were embarrassed your parents might hear you listening to? 2 Live Crew- Me so Horny "Me love you long time!"
What's for dinner? Sushi and Sapporo Reserve- noms!
Worst aspect of your job: We are non-profit so we always go with the lowest bidder on everything. A day rarely goes by when I'm not dealing with a repairman. It's almost comical. That or the drama created by a few people.
1. This is a super tough one. I would probably go with Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson's characters in Easy A, although I am sure not many people will know what I am talking about. I can honestly imagine us having those very conversations.
2. First cassette was Debbie Gibson, followed closely by Tiffany, New Kids, and The Jets.
3. Yes. That would probably be Whoomp There it Is. I LOVED that song!
4. I had some popcorn shrimp. YUM!
5. This is tough because unfortunately there is a lot bothering me right now. I would say the worst part is that my role has been "changing" for the last 6 months, but as much as I ask, I never get clear answers on what my objectives should be, etc. So I essentially just end up taking on left-over tasks while they sort out how they want me to transition. We are re-structuring, so I kind of get it, but I am over this total ambiguity about what I am supposed to be doing.
** After 2 1/2 years of Unexplained IF, 2 failed medicated cycles, and 4 failed IUI's - our baby girl came to us through the miracle of Mini IVF! **
What was your first Record/Cassette/CD and tell us which medium it was? I can't remember the first that I had like from my parents as a gift, but I know that the first that I bought with my allowance was a Spin Doctors tape.
Can you remember the first song you liked that you were embarrassed your parents might hear you listening to? Baby Got Back
What's for dinner? Pasta, we were in a rush.
Worst aspect of your job: My salary. I work for the government so it's not great, I get lots of perks which helps some but I could use a raise!
