11 Random Things about Me
1. I hardly ever use a recipe when I'm cooking...this may or may not be random based on how much you read my blog ;-) Almost all of my "recipes" are made up and I always change up how I cook a dish.
2. I talk to my Mom at least 3 times a day on the phone. :-)
3. Everyone says Emma Claire looks like me but I swear she looks like my husband the majority of the time. Especially when she smiles.
4. When I was younger I wanted to be a realtor when I grew up...I drove my parents crazy because I was constantly on Realtor.com looking for new houses.
5. I've never had strep throat. *knock on wood*
6. Currently I feel like I have NO cute clothes. The last time I really revamped my wardrobe was well over a year ago. It doesn't help matters that I stay home with my little one and my current daily dress is usually leggings and a large t-shirt of the hubs. Hoping to change this soon!
7. I've never dyed my hair....except the occasional use of sun in during the summer but I don't think that counts ;-)
8. The last time I had a glass of wine was November 2010. This makes me sound like a recovering alcholic....ha! I just am not a big drinker. Before I got pregnant I was in training for my half marathons so I didn't drink a lot and then I got pregnant and obviously didn't drink. Now that I'm nursing I know I could drink...I just don't want to.
9. The Hubster and I had another dog before Gracie and Dixie..his name was Forrest. We had to put him down because of some bad aggression issues :-( It makes me sad to think about it but he attacked several dogs (even broke a puppy's jaw) and I knew he could never be around babies and I couldn't give him away knowing he would most likely hurt someone.
10. I love Sarah Palin...I can even do a Sarah Palin accent. I also do a mean George Bush ;-)
11. I really miss living at home with my Mom and Dad. It's hard to believe that I'm the Mommy at our house sometimes.
Natalie's Questions
1. What is something you are only mediocre at that you would like to become great at?
Running. When I run races I see the super skinny SUPER fit ladies and I aspire to be like that. However I am content at the level of running I am at. I like to walk some when running my half marathons and when I run my full I plan on walking some too.
2. What is your favorite exercise, or way to exercise?
See above. ha! I actually don't like running...weight training is my favorite.
3. What is your most hated chore?
It's a tie between folding/putting away laundry and putting away clean dishes.
4. Who is the person you trust most in the world... besides your spouse (if you are married).
My Mom.
5. What is your favorite time of the day?
Hmmm I really like waking up in the morning (at a normal hour...not 3am! ha!) Emma Claire is always so happy and it's a great way to start my day.
6. How do you spend majority of your time? (I mean what takes up most of your time in your day, a baby, job, spouse, etc. or you can be more specific...nursing, writing papers, whatever.)
My sweet little lady :-)
7. What is your favorite date activity BESIDES the most common ones such as movie, dinner, etc.
Back when we lived in Waco the Hubs and I would go to dinner/movie and then would walk around the Baylor campus. I really miss doing that. Sometimes we would take the dogs and just stroll. Life was so much simpler then.
8. How do you most show people you love them?
I like to do nice things. I'm a note-leaver, baker, gift giver :-) I get this from my Mom. She is always putting others first and doing kind and thoughtful things for others.
9. Which website do you spend the most time on?
Toss up between facebook/blogger/twitter.
10. What is your favorite color or theme for decorating?
Oh goodness...I went through a blue/brown phase but am currently wanting to re-do our room with greys/whites/yellows.
11. What is your dream job?
What I'm doing right now :-) I'm also lucky enough to be a certified elementary school teacher so when it's time I will get to go back to my other dream job.
