There are potentially between 20 and 445 billion topics that I've been rolling around in my mind to blog about. I can talk to myself so eloquently in the car and think, "Hey- that would sound GREAT on my blog", but does it ever make it on this sucker- NOPE! Sure doesn't!
Sometimes I'm just NOT in a deep-thinking mood, nor do I want to write something profound. Sometimes I just want to dance and jump up and down (bad idea with a fractured vertebra) and act a little ADD…So this is going to be exactly that; OPPOSITE of profound. It's going to be self-centered and narcissistic, but who knows- maybe someone finds my life interesting and will actually read this. I'm doing the oh-so-very-NOT-original 25 Facts about yourself. I hope you learn something…
1. Travis and I buy cookie cakes like their going out of style. We always look for the ones with the most icing. I cannot tell you how many we've bought with "Happy Birthday!" or "It's a BOY!" written on them with icing.
2. I'm a real SNOB when it comes to certain things- like jeans for instance. I WILL not, let me repeat, WILL NOT buy jeans that are not a well known brand or designer. (I do have one pair of jean leggings from Express- but that's different).
3. I have somewhere around 12 pairs of designer denim ranging in size from super tiny 00 (23 Euro) up to 27 (US size 2-4). I refuse to get rid of any of them even though I don't want to fit back into my larger ones.
4. I NEVER buy ANYTHING full price. TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Consignment shops…that's it. When I get asked to go the mall, I say, "WHY!!!?" You can find just as good of things at those shops and sometimes better. Hello- I bought a pair of Tory Burch flats for $11 one time…this system works.
5. I'm officially playing with lip color other than a neutral gloss. Travis hates it, but I love it. Life is too short to not feel anything but fabulous…and trust me- fun lipgloss color radiates confidence!
6. My biggest compliment I've ever received was from a friend FROM Wales who tells me I look just like Kate Middleton…I've been told that a few times and I'm flushed with excitement when they say it, but when a REAL LIVE Brit tells you that- it made me even more obsessed with the Duchess.
7. SPEAKING OF the Duchess of Cambridge- I chose dresses and outfits based on whether or not it's a "Kate" outfit or a "Pippa" outfit.
8. I totally and purposefully "Pippa'd" someone at their own wedding. It's new lingo for stealing away the show from the bride. Slap my wrist I know…I didn't want to be there anyway so might as well.
9. I'm obsessed with the Daily Mail website out of the UK…all the up to date tabloid gossip and with more pictures than a magazine will give you. It's how I get all my trashy drama AS WELL as random knowledge.
10. I can eat an entire watermelon in one sitting. I weighed myself before and after one time. I gained over 6 pounds after the watermelon and then lost it by the morning. Too bad I was up every hour having to pee….
11. I have ridiculously strong feet and toes. I can take Trav's finger in my toes and he can't get it out now matter how hard he tries. I even flew a toy helicopter with my toes before and completed a perfect landing.
12. I have scheduled nap time when I'm out of work or it's a day off. My mother instilled an everyday nap time in me from an early age and I still take advantage of it.
13. I.HATE.COFFEE.
14. I love my husband dearly, but I still sleep with two stuffed animals. One is Keith, my monkey I received while I was in the hospital…he looks so worn out that people think it was a childhood toy- no, I got it a year and half ago. My other is from birth…a dog that only has one eye (thus his name One Eye) and has had several of his limbs reattached multiple times.
15. My marriage is ROCKIN!!! I'm convinced that I have the most handsome, kind, Godly, smart, amazing man in the world…I genuinely feel sorry for all the girls that lost out on him because of me. Actually, no I don't. Sucks for you.
16. I don't think you can every have too many coats/jackets/blazers or shoes. You just can't.
17. My first commission check as a Red Jacket, DIQ, or Director in MK will be going towards a pair of classic closed-toe Louboutins. Actually, two pairs. Same style- just one in black and one in nude. The red soul makes me hyperventilate.
18. I'm a liberal hippie…get over it. And if you say hurtful mean things about ANY person in office, I will defriend you in a heartbeat. It IS possible peacefully agree to disagree.
19. Because of my back, I can't bend even slightly or my back will go out. So lucky Trav- he has to do the dishes AND laundry AND vacuuming…now is that a great husband or what!?!
20. My jewelry collection would put Charming Charlie's to shame. Most of them are costume jewelry handed down from my Grandmother and my great Aunt, and since I love to wear gaudy jewelry, it works out perfectly.
21. I love living with Trav behind my parents. It's nice to have them around and believe it or not, I really miss them when they go out of town. It has its pro's and con's, but overall- it's been a HUGE blessing and fantastic set up.
22. I will not, never ever never, sell Swayze. Period. The end. He's not a pet- he's family and we don't ever get rid of family.
23. I have never had a male OR female beat me in having the loudest and strongest burp. Should I be proud of that? Hmmmmm…
24. I am HIGHLY competitive and motivated by a challenge. If someone says I can't do something- I will work on it until I can. As my mom recently told me, "You don't have anything to worry about. You always manage to get your way someway, somehow". I do whatever it takes to prove my haters wrong.
25. Call me old school- but I completely believe in submitting to your husband. If he is acting towards you like Christ loved the church, you (as a wife) will find yourself wanting to serve him. I never have to wonder where Trav's heart is- He loves God more than He loves me and that's the way it should be. Because of that, I happily serve and submit to his Godly wisdom.
26: Extra Credit: I could make friends with a brick. I've never met a stranger and will typically alarm people with my high energy and enthusiasm. I also tend to hit some high octaves when I get excited.
There you go- fun things about me. I'm not ashamed of who I am and you shouldn't be either! STAND UP for how AMAZING you are! Until next time, xoxo.
Eeeeeeeeeep!!!
