25 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT QUEEN BEE Jenn Sousa
She may be small, but don't let her height fool you. Jenn Sousa is queen bee in Backstreet land. Managing 5 boys has helped her prepare for motherhood, welcoming baby number 2 this past summer. Learn more about Jenn below!
1. My parents are from a small Island in the Atlantic Ocean called Pico, part of the Açores archipelago, which is part of Portugal. I’ve been back there 13 times and can’t wait to take my kids there soon!
2. All my family calls me Jenny and my friends call me Jenn. I only hear Jennifer when I’m either in trouble, someone is trying to have a serious conversation with me or they don’t know me.
3. I worked as a bank teller for a few years during college
4. I hate pigeons. The sounds they make seriously gross me out.
5. I had scoliosis as a child and had surgery on my back when I was 13 years old. I have two rods in my back and they used to make the airport security scanner go off. Thank god that doesn’t happen anymore.
6. Because of that I had to be put under general anesthesia to have my children and wasn’t awake to see them being born. My husband also wasn’t allowed in the operating room so who knows if those children are really mine or if they got switched at birth?
7. I’m an avid viewer of reality TV. I can’t help it…it’s my guilty pleasure. Big Brother is my all time favorite and I get so excited for summer time just to obsess over it and bother everyone with my daily analysis and updates.
8. I took close to five years of piano and I can still only play ONE song – George Bizet’s Habanera from the Opera “Carmen”. My husband still doesn’t understand how that happened.
9. I was my class historian in 8th grade.
10. I went to an all girl catholic high school in Northern California.
11. My first car was a black Acura Integra (thanks dad), which I preceded to total three months later. If you ask anyone I’m still a terrible driver.
12. I wore braces twice
13. I’m scared of cramped or small spaces. The thought of not being able to breath scares the living crap out of me.
14. My hair started to go gray at 17 years old and I’ve been coloring it ever since.
15. I love board games and am very competitive when it comes to them. Sequence anyone?
16. I talk to myself a lot when working. It’s part of my process but it also makes me look crazy.
17. My ultimate dream is to live in the country in a gorgeous farmhouse with chickens and horses.
18. I so desperately want to be crafty like Martha Stewart or Tori Spelling, so I just took up sewing. It’s a start.
19. My favorite 80’s movie is GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN
20. I’ve been working on a book for what seems like forever. One day I will finish it. Maybe when I live at that farmhouse?
21. I’m a major homebody. I can go days without getting out of my sweats and just hanging out at home.
22. I hate clutter and disorganization. Having children has just heightened that anxiety.
23. My absolute favorite thing to eat is a #1 at In and Out- no tomato, cut in half with the fries well done and a coke. I could eat this everyday…like seriously.
24. Growing up I was obsessed with soap operas. Young and the Restless and General Hospital were my favs. There is even a photo of me in my senior yearbook watching GH….Port Charles for life! Anyone remember Antonio Sabato Jr’s character on GH? ;-)
25. Unlike Eddie Meehan, I don’t have a favorite Backstreet Boy. They all drive me equally as crazy so it’s a five-way tie, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
