Day 2: 9 Things That Most People Don't Know About Me

Here goes:

1. I like to brush my teeth in the shower in the mornings
2. If the volume of something is numbered, I like for it to be on an even # or an interval (15, 25, 35, etc). An odd # that is not an interval bothers me.
3. I dislike overhead lighting. A lot.
4. Kenny G's Christmas album is one of my all time favorites.
5. I have no artistic ability whatsoever. I cannot draw to save my life.
6. I like my tomatoes diced, not sliced.
7. Sometimes I feel inadequate in the world today because I do not have a master's degree.
8. Every now and then, on my lunch break, I consider drinking a beer at home. Don't worry, I never do it.
9. I am convinced I will have only boys when I have babies. I don't know why, but it is what I envision.

Ten Days: Day 1

Stolen straight from Elaina. She stole it from someone else's blog. But hey, we all need to steal blog ideas every now and then!
Over the next 10 days, I will blog about the following:

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself that most people don’t know.
Day Three: Eight things you couldn’t live without.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you could change or you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot to you.
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two words that describe your life right now.
Day Ten: One confession.

I also will probably not complete this in ten days because I don't blog on the weekends. I blog at work. Sshhhh...

Here goes: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now


1. Blake Lively: Seriously, can your hair be that amazing?

2. Bryan and Erin (they count as one): Thank you for giving me the 3 best presents of my life

3. Britney Spears: Girl, you had the world at your fingertips. Should have never cheated on Justin Timberlake.

4. Laina: Good thing I shrunk that romper then, huh?

5. Katie: Thank you for letting me be your maid of honor. I will forever remember that day.

6. Deeya: Thank you for sending Kate and I to Paris. My life has never been the same.

7. News on 6 in the Morning: Please stop having Jamie McGriff report for you. She is really bad.

8. My parents: Words cannot describe my gratefulness

9. Gym guy: Please stop talking to me, especially when I am running and have my iPod in.

10. Erin: Thank you for marrying my brother and becoming my sister. You fit our family better than I could have ever imagined.

Fall Faves

Fall is right around the corner, and while I will greatly miss my summer dresses, I am looking forward to getting cozy in some cardigans and leggings. Here are my fall favies that I am looking forward to:

1. Leggings. I love them with all my soul. They are thin, cotton, black. What else do you need?
2. Cardigans. I aim to have one in every color this season.
3. Black skinny jeans. I bought my first pair last fall and I wore them out. I just found a cute pair at Old Navy for $20. Score!
4. Boots. I have my eye out for the perfect pair of camel/caramel colored boots. My calf is apparently larger than the general poplulation, so I need the circumference to be larger than normal. My wallet is preparing for this purchase.
5. Scarves. I have loved these for a while but I have decided this year to incorporate them more into my daily outfit, instead of just something I take off with my coat.
6. Black flats. Cannot have enough pairs.
7. Tunics. See #1. They are a force to be reckoned with.

Headed down to Dallas this weekend to see the family. I am so excited to see Katie and Louie's wedding video! I haven't been back since the wedding in March, so I hope Katie and Kristin don't mind when I tackle them cause I am so excited to see them.

How bout them Cowboys!! Big win Saturday night for my Pokes. Although, the game is somewhat of a blur since I sat with my nieces. All I really remember is making Jordyn giggle, Allison jumping on my lap 57 times, and Lauren dancing to the music during time outs. But nothing is better than spending time with my little ladies, so I am not complaining! Those sweet girls were all decked out in OSU gear, they know the fights songs and Jordy says "Pete Pete" is on her shirt.
Ran into a couple of old friends while walking across campus. This time of year always brings back such wonderful memories for me.

Sunday, I spent 4.5 hours shopping by myself. It was glorious. But for some reason, when I spend too much time alone like that and in almost silence, I get a head ache. I think I clench my jaw for some reason.

Monday, Sophie and I got some much needed couch time in and then I had a delicious dinner at Chili's (hush Laina) and was treated to some yogurt heaven at Peachwave. My favorite creation is the original tart yogurt, raspberries, granola and a few chocolate chips.

Found a hole in the sidewall of my tire today, so I got to spend 1.5 hours at Robertson Tire getting a new tire. Why is it that when you are trying to save money, all you can seem to do is spend it?

Pistol Pete's biggest fans

Loving some great football weather

Loving on her new baby doll from Grammy

Pappy, the jungle gym 

I have a huge Pistol Pete on my shirt, you just can't see it.

Someone stole my check card #. How dare they steal my life line! I am one of those people that does not carry cash. I use my Visa check card for EVERYTHING. And I get Visa rewards points and then I can cash them in for Target gift cards. Sweet joy. It's a trap though. I spend money to get the rewards points, and then I get a gift card to my favey place, only to use more than the allotted amount, and I spend more money, and get more reward points. It's a vicious cycle, and I am a huge part of it.
Anyway, my momma called this morn to tell me that she thought someone compromised (her word, not mine) my card. There are tons of charges that took place yesterday while I was working. Believe me people, I would love to be out spending $357 on one purchase somewhere in the middle of that day, but reality is, that just wasn't happening. I was probably typing something at my computer.
Luckily my mom works at my bank, so she caught it early and cancelled my card and can help me get the money back. But unfortunately, it is a holiday weekend so it might take longer. Oh well...it's just money, right?

Today, I am sporting my best orange gear for my Cowboys! Take a look at this sweeeeet watch that my cousins Zach and Kristin (remember her here )

Happy weekend, a long weekend at that! Enjoy some college football and nice weather!
