About Me

You know what I love? Hand soap. Isn't it just the best when you find a good smelling hand soap? I just washed my hands with "Spring Water" hand soap, and it just smells so fresh. Great little positive moment in my day today...moving on...

Today I thought it'd be fun to write down some random things about me that make me me. Because I know you want to know all about me, including these things that really aren't important. I always love reading blog posts that show a person's "faults" because I find I can relate better to them then haha :) I also included a bunch of terrible and super awkward photos of me, so you can see that I don't look good all the time ;)

1. My eyes water when I yawn….so much so that I've been told I look like I got beat up. Or people just ask me what's wrong because I look like I've been crying. It's super annoying-why can't I yawn like a normal person?
2. When I eat smarties, I can squirt water out from under my tongue.
3. I LOVE popping zits/black heads. LOVE.
4. I drink everything with a straw.
5. Apparently I look like a worn out "monkey" when I'm tired. Tim calls me Monkey Lips--my entire face just relaxes to the point where I look mad and my lips get all pouty. In other words, I look completely exhausted haha
6. I love buying presents for people. I'm happiest shopping for others.
7. I suck at remembering people's names from movies. Even if I've been told them a billion times. 
8. I'm terrible at telling stories. I do a lot of "Oh! Okay, forget what I just said and let's back track..."
9. I used to bite my nails. A lot. To the point where they hurt because I bit them so low. Thank GOD I don't do that anymore!
10. I get red. Easily. Face, arms, and my chest. It never used to be that bad, but then I became an idiot way back when and started going to the tanner. I swear it's because of that as to why my skin is so crappy. Happy? Red. Sad? Red. Excited? Red. Meeting someone new? Red. Working out? Beat red. Thank God for makeup.
11. I don't take confrontation well. I may not have even done whatever I'm being confronted about, but because I suck at confrontation, I'm sure the person thinks I'm guilty, what the the BIG gulping, red face, arms and chest, and immediate dry eyes to the point where I have to constantly blink or else everything gets blurry and my contacts want to fall out. Seriously? I would love to be normal.
12. Also, I have a strong urge to sleep whenever I'm in an argument. It's like my brain just shuts down.
13. I've gotten laser hair removal before. On my upper lip, and even my toes haha
14. When I'm concentrating, I look mad. And confused. Apparently I need some botox for my forehead because I look so cross haha
15. Speaking of botox, I've used it before. And will never use it again. Who wants to get rid of their ability to show emotion?! I don't care that I have like 20 lines on my forehead, they're all from things I've been through, and I just like being able to move my forehead/eyebrows. You seriously can't move those when you get Botox, it's awful.
16. I am obsessed with English and formatting: correcting paperwork, writing letters, grammar, and especially with things being centered….it's bad. It has to be perfect. It's so annoying how good I am at attention to detail. I have actually gotten annoyed with myself about it. I am the person that would not hire someone based on how many errors are on their cover letter/resume, and if a photo frame or letter being written to someone isn't centered, Lord help me. It drives me nuts.
17. I make lists. About everything. This may be pretty common, but I think it's definitely a quirk. I have a notebook that I carry around with me all the time. For our wedding, I had about 20 lists going. I also have a bucket list, a culinary bucket list, a "What to do in the Spring/Summer" list, a "What to accomplish this year" list, a "25 books to read by the end of the year" list, a "Things to do for others to make their lives better" list, and so on. It sure helps me stay on track.
18. I have wanderlust. I know this isn't a quirk, but it's so much a part of me I have to write it :) Now that our wedding and honeymoon are over, we can finally start saving money to not only update our home but to travel. Anywhere. Everywhere. I don't care if it's half an hour away or across the world, I want to see it. I'll write a bucket list post soon :)

  

 This picture is seriously so awkward-it was the first time I tried dry shampoo that was colored, and apparently I really loved it. So much so that I had to a take a picture with the most awkward smile ever.

 I love the dentist haha-I will never get Restylane.

Won't you be my friend? :D
