25 things you "don't" know about me...xoxo

Hi y'all!!! How are you? SO, I'm going to blog-lift my Bestie Shells blog post "25 things you don't know about me" and do one all about me....however, I need to put the "don't" in quotes b/c I am a pretty open book ;)

1) I have a giant picture of Audry Hepburn circa Breakfast at Tiffany's in my living room - it makes me smile AND has three of my favorite items in it (1) dark sunglasses (2) tiara (3) coffee ;)

2) Rubee is my shelter dog - I wrote out the check, signed all the paper work before I even saw her. I just knew she was meant to be my dog.

3) I don't like new people.....but after a few weeks we'll be bffs.

4) When I went to college I went totally alone and had to make all new friends. BEST experience of my life. Not only did I end up making life long friends, but it taught me how to make new friends as you get older and your friend group changes.

5) I only have one enemy...to my knowledge...lol...

6) Random anecdotes are one of my specialties

7) I love yellow tulips

8) I only wear one piece of jewelry everyday - my Tiffany bracelet that I bought in Las Vegas w/two of my best friends.

9) I bought my townhouse three months after turning 26.

10) My dad wrote me a letter on my graduation day w/words of wisdom. Never give up, things will always get better, and always tip the bartender (each of the ten had an anecdote w/it) - I think of these often.

11) I love to write letters and I save letters. My grandma wrote me a letter every week for my first year and 1/2 of college before she passed away and I would wrote her back each week, I have almost all of the letters.

12) I have kept a journal since I was 16.

13) My sister is my best friend and the person I strive to be like (her and my mom). My day is not complete if I have not talked to my sister at least once.

14) When my oldest niece was born I had sympathy pain where my sister had her staples (c-section) AND I had sympathy pain when my sister had surgery two years ago.

15) I love to host parties and I love to cook for lots of people

16) In college I had a poster of Lance Bass from Nsync on one wall and a poster of The Rock on the other.

17) One of my favorite states is Kentucky, it is beautiful and one of my very good friends lives there.

18) On average I sleep 5 hours a night. When I traveled for work I had to adjust to time zones and conference calls in the opposite time zones, took lots of red eyes and learned to live on not much sleep.

19) I dislike time zones

20) My dad use to take me to baseball card shows w/him and the Cube convention each year. I loved it!

21) Wrigley Field is my favorite stadium (I have not been to Lambau, but fingers crossed I get to go this year).

22) My fridge is a scrapbook in my kitchen - pictures of my friends children/nieces, pictures colored or drew for me, magnets from the states/cities I have been to, postcards, random quotes.

23) I use the word Karma a lot and believe it

24) When I worked from home full time I use to go hours w/o talking, when I realized I did that I started talking out loud all the time - which is a horrible habit!

25) I love to whistle

Phew, that is a lot of information ;)

TTYL!

xoxo
