getting to know me.

I thought it would be fun to do a post about 20 totally random things about little old me.  Here we go - enjoy!

1. I am obsessed with my little family, ask anyone, OBSESSED I tell ya

2. I am scared to death of flying but will still do it - I have now made my husband scared to death too #gome

3. I have 1 sibling, a sister, Jenn - she blogs over at It's a wonder

4. I like to "collect" new clothes/shoes/jewelry.  I buy things that I really want, but never want to wear them. I'm not really sure why, but I like looking at them in my closet and never feel like "wasting" an outfit by wearing them.  So weird, I know.

5. When I was younger (I mean real young) my friends and I would collect change from the ground at the tollbooth - #weweresocool

6. I use to smoke - and I loved it.  Then I quite before I got pregnant with my son.  Sometimes I can't even believe I use to smoke, seems like it never happened.

7. I'm very competitive, always have been

8. I'm very emotional, always have been and having kids has put it into overdrive

9. I have small feet, like size 5 1/2 small

10. I never wanted to be a SAHM before having kids, but of course having them changes everything and now it's my favorite "job" to date

11. I love day drinking

12. I hate working out, I do it to stay healthy and fit, but I despise it.

13. I love coffee and need 3 cups a day to function, even then I'm still tired.  I could drink coffee at 9pm and go to bed at 9:15pm; it has no effect over me.

14. When I was little, I was obsessed with the movie Monkey Trouble and tried to convince my mom for several years that I needed a capuchin monkey

15. I went through a super awkward phase in jr high and wore jnco jeans, you know, these ones

What the heck was I thinking...

16. I'm not into material things, Yes they are nice, and once in a while I buy myself something, but I can go without and brand names mean nothing to me.

17. Going with above, I love a good deal.  I search and search for the best deals, always, and have saved a ton of money by doing so.

18. I don't like to use the first of things - first squirt of toothpaste, ketchup, mustard, ect.  Basically anything that comes out of a cap, I always have to squirt some out first, then use it. 

19. I don't have any tattoos and never wanted one, but now am thinking about getting something small with my kids initials

20. I love to eat. My sister use to make fun of me all of the time {still does :) } when were little because we would go to a hot dog place and I would order a hot dog, fries, a bowl of chili and a tamale, and eat it all and still want more.  I was also that weird kid at the pool in the summer ordering a bowl of chili while everyone else was eating ice cream and Popsicles.  I love chili {obviously}

I'm sure there are plenty of more weird things about myself I could share, but I'll stop there so I still have a few readers left :)
