WISEOZ OF THE WEEK

She's openly Irish and she's obviously  from New Jersey, meet IrishJrsyGirl ...

How do you deal with stressful situations and unrealistic timelines?
A couple of weeks ago WISEOZ asked me to be in THE WEEKY WIT – of course my 1st thought was “oh *&%$#”!! (word deleted for the younger WISEOZers out there – cough, cough carbo…LOL) what the heck do I write about??   Then I thought I would have my good friends madmad59, hutchess, and feix62 each write something for me – but of course I waited to the last minute and now WISEOZ is looking for my ‘interview' and I got nothing!!  So right away you have learned that I am a procrastinator.

Is New Jersey a state of the union or a state of mind?
So where to start…the beginning I guess – as you can tell by my username I am born & raised in New Jersey and extremely proud of it-right down to my long fingernails!!  I have lived here my entire life, except for the 4 years I was away at college. 

What do you consider your greatest accomplishment other than joining WISEOZ?
I went to the University of Tampa (FL) and excelled in the subjects of drinking, hanging out and sunburn in the 3rd degree (well I am Irish…I once had someone tell me that I needed to have a serious talk with the sun…LOL).  Somehow I still managed to graduate Cum Laude with a BS (that’s a Bachelor of Science for all you WISEOZzzers out there) degree in Computer Information Systems.

Do you suffer from paranoia?
After school I came back to
Jersey and married Schmeggie (also born & raised in NJ).  We just celebrated our 12th anniversary (wow, that makes me sound old…we’ll just say I am old enough to drink and leave it at that).  We only have one ‘child’, a very fuzzy cat named Liam; which we spoil rotten.

What's your weapon of choice?
My nails are extremely long and I love to my express myself through them.  You can tell my mood or the season based on my nail design (right now I still have flowers because it is still hot out), but soon I will be able to get leaves put on for the Fall.

Does the flash bulb hurt your eyes?
Another thing you should know about me is that I hate to take pictures of myself, but I am never without my camera.  I have become the official memory keeper for my family & friends and have over 4 GBs of pictures on my laptop to prove it.

Is it too loud or are you too old?
I also love music.  This summer I went to 4 concerts and got to see almost all of my favorite bands: Bon Jovi, Daughtry, LIVE, Staind, Hinder and Kid Rock. 

Does your addiction make you itch?
One of my favorite items right now is my iPod – I have had it less than a year, but I never leave home without it.  It combines 2 of my favorite things: my music and my pictures.  If I am doing housework I use my headphones, I also have a player for the shower and 1 in the car- so I am always covered.

What's your favorite basketball team?
Our household is a NY Giants fans only zone (I wouldn’t have married
Schmeggie if he wasn’t a Big Blue fan).   I would say that 75% of our wardrobe has NY Giants written on it somewhere.  Last year’s SuperBowl was the highlight of our year.  I am extremely excited that we are starting the 2008 season 1-0!!

Do you trust the aliens?
My favorite hobby is playing online games/competitions and actually met 3 of my favorite people (
madmad59, hutchess, and feix62, even though he is a Cowgirls fan..LOL) online and can’t imagine life without them.   If you ever need a smile or laugh, they are the ones to go to! 

Who do you blame for your predicament?
So far on WISEOZ I have won over $150 in gift cards and a lot of Wit Points (which let me score some swanky WISEOZ merchandise).  For this I thank NCFRIEND (who I met through madmad59), she was the one who introduced me to WISEOZ.

Do you have to fight for your right to party?
Schmeggie and I will celebrate 1 year smoke free on September 11th…I plan on getting a new ankle tattoo to celebrate the momentous occasion.

Do you believe in karma?
I have ‘adopted’ some soldiers over in Iraq and send them letters and care packages every 2 weeks.  If anyone else is interested they need more volunteers at www.adoptaussoldier.org or www.anysoldier.com.
