I'm so over: Those boots with the fur. Rainy-day activity: Working out or playing with my two rock-star bulldogs. Secret talent: I'm great at managing my fantasy football team. You'd never guess: I don't eat vegetables. And I make my bed every day. Part of my charm: Rocking my three-quarter-length pants. People think they're capris, but they're not as long. Deep down, people love them. Guilty pleasure: Ice cream with sprinkles, Oreo Blizzards, milk shakes, and apple pie.
