My turn at 11 things

My friend Brittany who blogs over Life of a Bama Girl tagged me in a fun post!

I am supposed to tell you people 11 random things about myself and then answer the 11 questions Brittany asked. Yay! 

Here we go!

11 Random Things:

1. I just started Weight Watchers last week, and lost 2 pounds! Whoop! Dear high school and right before Ryder jeans, I am coming for you. 

  2. I traveled 45 min yesterday to get my hair done.  I love the girl who does my hair. The guy who is the receptionist? Not so much. Dear guy, I understand that you are fabulous, and we would probably be super great friends in life, but lose the sarcastic attitude please. Thanks. I only go to get my hair done maybe 2 or 3 times a year since it's $150 every time I go. Once I called receptionist dude to make an appointment and he said "Lord, it has been a HOT MINUTE since you've been in." See, he has an attitude.


3. Just moments ago my daughter, Lucy, got a hold of my cute measuring spoons from anthropologie. Then she dropped them on the floor and broke two! I almost cried. I know, over measuring spoons? I wouldn't be as upset if Ryder hadn't already broken my first set.

These are the first ones I had from Anthro that Ryder broke. See how cute? I only have the yellow one left. All the other giraffes have their necks amputated from their bodies :(

And these are the ones Lucy broke. She broke the big tablespoon and the 1/2 teaspoon. I'm really hoping that I can maybe super glue them back together. They might look like crap afterwards, but I think they are so beautiful. I guess I should learn my lesson and not buying measuring spoons from Anthro until I am done having kids under the age of 2 in my house. But since we want 2 more kids, I could be without cute measuring spoons for a long time. Oh well.

4. I used to work in a coffee shop, and that was my favorite job I have ever had. Sadly, it went out of business in 2007.

5. Speaking of coffee I can't really handle caffeine. I know most people out there can't function before they have their first cup. I love the way it tastes, and can usually handle it later in the day. But if I have it when I first wake up I crash so hard and it makes me sick. Its weird that it doesnt bother me later on. Maybe I do still crash, but just do it around the time I am headed to bed anyway so I don't really notice.

6. I am a list maker. Every morning I wake up and make a list of what I need to do. Very rarely do I get everything crossed off my list. I don't know if it's because I give myself unrealistic goals for the day or because I am super A.D.D. and just don't get around to them all. Probably a little of both. I am trying to work on that.

7.  Gift giving is my love language. I feel like it is the greediest love language to have sometimes. But it's not that I just love getting things, I love giving gifts too. I love the whole process. Deciding what to get the person, wrapping it up, and seeing their face when they open it. Which is why I kill it at getting my husband birthday gifts. 

8. I pretty much only watch comedy. In tv and movie form. I will throw a good rom-com in for good measure, but Im not in love with them like most other girls. Let me tell you something, Katherine Heigel can take a freaking hike. 27 dresses? ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME. worst movie ever. Let me tell you what I do like. Vince Vaughn. He is awesome. So is Will Farrell. Step Brothers used to be my number one favorite movie....until Kristen Wiig killed it in Bridesmaids. So, Step Brothers got bumped to number two.

9.  About four years ago we bought a black 4-Runner and we are paying it off Friday!! This feels so good. We paid George's jeep off last year with our tax return and we are doing the same this year with mine. Having two paid for vehicles has got to be one of the best feelings in life. Now, we just need to pay car payments to ourselves so that our next car will be payed for in cash. It will be hard, but I hope we can do it. We heart Dave Ramsey!

10. I prefer wearing skirts and dresses over pants and jeans in the summer. In fact, you will never catch me in anything other that that when its warm out. Now, when it's winter time I will bust out my AE jeans with my short boots from Zara. 

11. I love being outside and especially love the beach. To me, Kenny Chesney and the beach go hand in hand. I'm not really a huge country fan, and certainly don't love the hats or their style. But let me tell you, Kenny will make you feel like you are sitting in front of the ocean. That's all that guy sings about. If I am feeling stressed I can listen to him and I feel a million times better.

Ok, so since I wrote a book I will answer Brittany's questions tomorrow! Congrats if you read all of these! You made it to the finish line! 

Thanks for tagging me Britt, this is fun!
