A Closer Look...

Yup, I'm that girl who accidentally schedueled two posts to go the same day yesterday.

That's just embarrassing, seriously who does that??

I must have been blogging while drinking beer super excited about this post.

So if you saw this post yesterday it was just a tease, and here it is for reals!!!!

First off, I want to make it CLEAR that is not my room.

I wish I had space to leave stuff on the floor in 'my room' (it's really our room), but we don't,
 so I don't, admittedly it's probably for the better.

Some of you might wonder some deeper secrets about me, or you're not wondering, and I am just going to tell you more about myself anyways.  So here are ten random facts about me, in no particular order at all.
1. 
My front right tooth (left for your eyes) is fake.  I chipped my tooth out with my umbrella (long story there) in seventh grade.  It took the dentist to make one that matched my teeth perfectly.  It even fell out once when I was in Barcelona (full story here).  Basically I am really fun at a black light party.
2.
I went to the same High School as my parents (where they met) and yes ironically I had three of the same teachers.
3.
I only wear pink perfume.
It's just a weird thing, even if I like a perfume, it it's not pink, I WON'T buy it.
3.5
If you're done reading now, I won't hate you, but you'll be missing out, so you should probably keep reading. If not, just follow me on twitter to find out some more random fun facts about me.

4.
When I was little I had a speech impediment.  My r's were w's.
It was cute when I was little and something they always though I would 'grow out of'.
I never grew out of it, and in finally went to speech therapy in the third grade.
 5.
I honest to goodness believed in Santa until I was eleven (sixth grade).
Don't even hate on me, my Mom always told me, "If you don't believe you won't receive."
I was not about to not receive.  For that matter, I am still a believer.
6.
I love any and every Akon song. I'd actually like many to play at my wedding some day, I know I know I'm real classy. It's embarrassing, but I just can't help myself.
I'm in love with a stripper convict (get it?).  If you're not a fan, you might not, it's a play on Akon lyrics.  Yes, I know I am a werido.
7.
As shoe obsessed as I may be, I didn't buy my first pair of heels until my freshman year of college. I wore flats to prom.  Speaking of prom, I sewed all my prom dresses, yeah I'm awesome. I can sew.
8.
I am certified to teach English as a second language.
NBD.
9.
I'm 5'9'' and the shortest female on my Mom's side of the family (Aunts and cousins included). The female cousin's on my Dad's side calls them (the females on my Mom's side, 'sky scrapers'.
10.
I call my Dad-  D.  When I was younger I called him DD, not even sure where it came from, but it stuck.  As I grew up, I shortened it to D.  I adore him, and love that I have a special name for him.

And just in case you weren't sure enough already.
I adore you guys too!!!

Also I went on my first blate (blog-date) yesterday with Brianne.
She blogs over here, she's awesome, and I can't wait to hang out again.
Will share more details tomorrow, get ready!!!

Me, Myself, and I - part 2

Here's my second Me, Myself, and I link up.

Remember the first one here???

 

1. What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

If I could do one thing and not fail I'd probably be an independent event planner, and no I would not do weddings. I'd love to plan large events, and in being the mountains would be ideal- read corporate event planner for Vail mountain resort. Working to improve client relations and show people what's up with the 'wow actor'. To me the mountains bring peace and it would be sooo fun to have a job like that up there.

How stressful would this life be??

2. If you had only six months left to live, what would you do with the time?

If I only has six more months I'd spend Every minute traveling. Three months if be skiing and the other three months I'd be some place on a beach with a cocktail in my hand. Wait scratch that cocktail in hand- cocktail on the table next to my lounge chair.

3. If a front page news article was written on you, what would the headline be?

A headline would probably read local girl dies in snow storm, or local girl dies from over analyzing. I have been known to drive to and from the mountains in the worst of storms. And second- I can over analyze ANYTHING. Yup just ask my boyfriend- he's pretty much the master at dealing with, oh I meant understanding it. If someone does anything as small as blink, I can spend hours thinking about it. And vise versa - I can spend hours thinking about, fretting, and replaying something I did or said, and worry about it WAYY too much!!! 

I drove through the storm that brought all this snow!!

4. What is your biggest pet peeve?

My biggest pet peeve is probably cracking knuckles. I hate the noise, and pretty much everything about it. I sometimes have to plug my ears and hum to avoid hearing it.

5. What is your favorite chick flick movie?

Favorite chick flick is a tie between:

Sweet Home Alabama, Miss Congenitally, The Notebook, and Dear John. Don't even ask me to choose one because I really would not be able too. 

That's it for today folks.

But one last thing.

Isn't Sweet Home Alabama still such a great movie even though it's alreayd TEN years old???

Can you believe that????

If you really knew me...

If you can understand everything I say/mumble, know that I always have things floating around in my car and purse, and comment on my one too many bangles, then you've probably spent WAY too much time with me.

I found this post over at Running in Stilettos, and knew it was something I needed to copycat ASAP.  I love reading about people, reading about other peoples quirks and fun facts, makes my oddities endearing qualities seem a little more normal.  Some days I am left wondering...But most days I just rock it out!!!!!

My Beautiful Crazy Life  Every third Tuesday of Every month...there will be 5 questions to be answered.You know...so we can get to know you better! So here are this month's 5 questions!  What is your biggest phobia? .
I am not quite sure exactly what I have a phobia of as of yet.  I am not scared of heights, spiders, flying, driving, anything.  If I had to choose it would be cockroaches.  I am not the largest fan, and don't think I would like to have them crawling all over me anytime soon.  If I see them though, I have no fear of crushing them with some assertion. If you could relive any day of your life, what would it be and why?

I don't know if there is one day in particular.   I would relive my surprise 23rd birthday present when my boyfriend took to to Disneyland (when I was 22/23), but there was also my epic Vail ski day in Colorado (when I was 22), or a day in Budapest in summer 2008 that was perfect! 

 

Gosh this makes me sound soooo spoiled

 

 

 

 

If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be? 

I am going to say 22.  I am not sure why, but I was convinced nothing would get better.  I was working full time (with benefits), but still carefree. Traveling, working out, and having a blast.  In my twenty second year, I never went more than 30 days without being on a plane and, I met my boyfriend (best part of the year).  To top it all off on the last day of double deuces I was swept away to Disneyland (by my boyfriend) to celebrate the big 23, so it ended perfectly.

Which celebrity do you get mistaken for?  

via

 
 People often say I look like Blake Lively (I used to have long locks), even though I know that's a TOTAL lie.  I mean let's be honest ladies....I don't look like her, but hey I'll take it!  Maybe in this picture we look kinda of alike, but anyone could look like this.

What songs are included on the soundtrack to your life? 
Okay this is SUCH a hard question. I do pretty much everything to music and love, love, love music. Jessica Andrew- Theres More to me than You Rascal Flatts-These DaysTim McGraw-Live Like you Were DyingJason Maraz- I Won't Give UpCeline Dion- Another Year has Gone ByMichael Buble- I Wanna Go HomeJay Sean- 2012Josh Gracin- Stay With MeRascal Flatts- I Won't Let GoBlake Shelton-God Gave Me YouRascal Flatts- They TryBilly Currington- EverythingSteve Miller- Keep Rockin' Me BabyCarol King- I Feel the Earth Move Top Gun Soundtrack All Disney SoundtracksSomething Corporate- I Woke up In a CarCountry Crows- Mr. Jonesand the list goes on...  

There you have it folks....

 Hope you have a great Tuesday!!!
