10 Things About Me!


1. I am kind of obsessed with Victoria's Secret bras and underwear. I worked there for almost 2 years in college and fell in love with everything they sell. I have the most ridiculous collection of bras and underwear, including 31 bras that I arrange in my drawer just like the store. I have every color and shape and the underwear drawer is overflowing with VS goodness. Its a problem, I know.


2. My mom is my best friend. I realized the other day how I appreciate my mom more and more as I get older. I really took her for granted in my teen years. Its weird how teenagers brush their moms aside and moms just keep loving the same! What great women they are!


3. I do my best thinking while showering or driving. I also talk to myself in my car. Thank goodness for those cellphone-headphone things or else other drivers might think Im nuts.


4. I'm a self-proclaimed tightwad. If its on sale, I'm there and if its free, all the better. That being said there are certain items I usually splurge on like jeans, purses and electronics. Im a big fan of mixing the expensive with the cheap, so no one knows the difference!


5. I want a dog so so so so bad. Our current landlord wont let us have one and I would also feel bad leaving a dog alone at home all day. But once my living situation allows for it, I want my own little furbaby to cuddle and love.


6. I cannot WAIT for Christmas decorating this year. The presents and shopping and parties and money stress me out every year, but I always look forward to baking with my mom and decorating our tree. This year is extra exciting because Jake and I ordered a real tree from a local high school fundraiser and it comes very soon! We already have big plans for the decorating and lighting scheme. I cannot wait for our house to smell of pine!


7. I strongly dislike the word HATE. It needs to be taken out of the English language. It is used far too often and I think people dont really mean it when they say it. I try not to use it, but its hard.


8. I want to travel everywhere. Everytime I get back from a trip, I want to immediately book another and another and another. My top spots I want to go next are: Italy, Greece, Spain, Thailand, India, Cambodia, Shanghai and Vietnam. Jake and I want to go on one more big trip before he goes to grad school next fall and I think we are talking Thailand and the countries in that region because our dollar will go farther.


9. I'm always bored with my hair. Its always down and straight and sometimes I feel like that's a cop out on my part. When I see other women with creative hairstyles, I examine them and think to myself, "I could do that." Then I come home and try it and it looks horrible. I am constantly in a hair slump. I've also cut down on hair appointments to dye my hair to save money. Its getting pretty bad, but its hard to go back to spending money on hair again with the holidays coming up. (I guess thats the tightwad in me!)


10. I dont like my food to touch other food. Im the person on the buffet line that takes forever because my food cannot get mixed together or touch another dish. The separated plates are my best friend. My grandpa is one of those people who gets his food and mixes it all around and then licks plate clean. It grosses me out. My stomach is always bigger than my eyes, so I pretty much always have food leftover that is separated all over my plate. I know, I know, it all mixes together in your stomach, but I just cant have it.
