1. I am a realist to the core. I've never been optimistic/pessimistic about anything, I have always shot it straight and been very realistic.
2. I have a B.S. degree in Biology. I haven't put it to use yet since I wasn't able to get a job out of college, which I'm now thankful for. Being a stay at home moma is the perfect job for me!
3. I can pick a few tunes on the banjo. I learned to play a few years back and thoroughly enjoyed it, but I lost interest in it and haven't picked it up since then.
4. I'm addicted to curb side pick-ups. There's not much of a better feeling than driving somewhere and finding treasures on the side of the road...for free!
5. From the circle skirts to the homemade meals, I am obsessed with the 1950's housewife. I know I may look like I belong in the 60's, but I would give anything to be a housewife 65 years ago.
6. Cookies are my weakness. Any dessert is mouthwatering, however cookies are where it's at. Warm, soft homemade vegan cookies...yummmmm
7. I love framed pictures! My house is filled from top to bottom with them. Every wall in every room is packed. It's starting to become a problem now that I'm running out of room.
8. I have a hatred towards a lot of sounds. I thought I was the only person to get irritated and have anxiety attacks over sounds until last year when I discovered misophonia. Misophonia is described as "selective sound sensitivity syndrome" and I totally have this. It drives me crazy to hear people smack their food (I personally think this is just rude), I can't let the dogs chew on things in the same room as me, I have to have the tv on high volume when the dogs drink water. I don't like certain packages being opened, the sound of inhaling really bothers me, and much more! I'm telling you, this is a real problem. I hate it, but I can't help it.
9. I have always had amazing self esteem. Now, I've definitely had bad days where I didn't like my body or my hair wasn't doing what I wanted. Overall though, I love myself. I love my post-pregnancy body, I love my nappy hair, and I love who I am inside. I give credit to a wonderful youth pastors wife who wrote me a note with Psalms 139:14 on it when I was 14 years old. I read that and something stuck with me. It has been such an encouraging reminder to love myself and it has gotten me through some difficult times. I still have that card to this day.
10. The Shack by William P. Young changed the way I view God. I first read it in high school and have read it at least 15 times since. This is by far my favorite book! It taught me to see God as a friend instead of a demanding harsh God. Growing up I was shown a God who just says, "No" and "Thou shalt not" and I don't think that's how God wants us to view Him. I still fear him 100%, but I'm able to have a better relationship with Him now. I can have conversations with Him and be real with Him. My relationship with God has been so much better since reading this book.
11. I have trouble blinking. Like, it takes me a minute to blink, after I stop and think about what I have to make my face do.
12. Up until my last year of college, I honestly thought Niagara Falls was out West somewhere. It blew my mind when I learned it was actually in New York and Canada. My mind is still kind of blown away about that.
13. I don't buy paper towels or napkins. They aren't that expensive, but over time it adds up. Instead, I grab a ton of extras while I'm out. If we go to a restaurant I will ask for napkins a few times and take them all home. I'll take napkins from peoples houses if they are left out, other peoples tables in restaurants, ect. I realized how crazy this may seem the night I went to the restroom in Olive Garden twice to stuff paper towels into my shirt to take home. Oops. This goes to say, if you invite me over for dinner, hide ya napkins hide ya towels.
14. I have struggled with anxiety and depression my entire life. However, I am proud to say I have been working hard towards erasing these disorders from my life and one day soon I will be an overcomer!
15. I have 6 tattoos. Even though one was a complete regret, I love them all and think they really add to who I am today.
16. Thrift shops are my junk. Literally. I find almost everything we need at thrift stores. It's very rare that I go to mainstream stores and pay full price for anything. Even when thrifting I usually go on sale days and save even more. This is the only way to live in my opinion!
17. During high school I was in the color guard. Unfortunately I quit right before my senior year all because of some boy (trust me, this is one of my deepest regrets), but I lived for it when I was a part of that. I also played soccer most of my life.
18. I'm a bit of a hoarder. I don't have dead cats under the beds or roaches infesting the house...yet. Totally kidding!!! I will never have a house like that! What I mean is that I save everything. I hate throwing things away. I usually find a way to use something at some point, but until it's used it stays in the garage, which really is packed. I will throw something away only if it absolutely cannot be used as something else later or can't be donated.
19. I have to wake up with my phone battery at 100%. It's as if my entire day depends on it. I have to plug it up and restart the day if I wake up to anything below that 100.
20. Caffeine doesn't have an effect on me. I don't even consume that much caffeine either. I have maybe 3 or 4 cups of coffee and a few pieces of chocolate a week. I don't drink soda or caffeinated teas. Some people have major headaches when they drink too much or too little, but it has never had any effect on me. This gets a little annoying if I really need to stay up or need extra energy, but overall I like it this way.
Did you know all these facts about me or did you learn something new??
