Thursday Already?!?!

Hallelujah. 

I love short weeks.

Thanks for that Mr. President.

Things have been kind of egh around these parts lately.

It's okay. I'll admit it.

Those curveballs I mentioned last week?

Yea, they still kind of suck.

But all of your sweet, sweet words about Ginger definitely helped.

Thanks for that blog readers.

My three day weekend was faaaaabulous. 

I'll tell ya what - 

If every weekend could be three days long, 

I would be one happy girl.

Even every other weekend would work.

That extra day is so nice.

Last week I mentioned how excited I was about all my new readers. 

And I really, truly am. 

Getting a new follower is as exciting as opening a present on Christmas morning.

I'm still baffled that so many people (besides my mom)

are actually interested in reading what I have to say.

So for those of you that are new,

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!

And since you're here, I figure I better do something

clever to keep you around.

{Insert dog and pony show here}.

If that face doesn't make you stick around

I don't know what will.

Maybe some random facts about moi?

Well...since you asked:

1. I don't know how to work our TV.

Robbie programed all my "favorite" channels (E!, ABCFamily, DIY Network, TLC)

so all I have to do is press one button.

2. I don't want babies for a looooooong, long time.

BUT I have already planned out how I will tell 

my friends and family when that does happen.

(Thanks Pinterest.)

And, no. It won't be via Facebook status.

3. I am constantly cold. 

Particularly between the months of November - March.

Even though Eastern North Carolina is blessed with many 70 degree January days,

I'll still be freezing. 

4. I wait until the last possible second to buy any type of toiletry.

For example, I will suck every drop of shampoo out before I buy a new bottle.

Inevitably, I am always unprepared for Mother Nature's monthly gift.

You think after going through the same thing month after month

for eh, roughly 11 years I'd finally have it all figured out.

Not so much.

5. My mom reads my blog everyday.

And then calls me to tell me her verdict.

I've even caught her printing out blog posts to save.

Sheesh.

But hey, if all else fails,

I know I've got one trusty fan!

And isn't that what a mama's supposed to be anyway?

6. I currently live 3 miles away from the house I grew up in

and I love it. 

This isn't our "forever home". We knew that when we moved in.

But I already get sad just thinking about having to leave.

Even though that probably won't happen for at least 5 more years.

7. I am terrified of deer and sharks.

Sharks because they're scary and can eat you.

Deer because they're creepy. 

I swear, deer give me the heebie-jeebies worse than spiders do.

8. I've wanted to be a teacher my whole life.

And I still wake up (a year and half later) still a little surprised

that I actually have complete control over a classroom

and the 23 students that occupy it from August - June.

9. That being said, I still find myself thinking about other careers.

10. I hate The Bachelor. Yet I find myself watching it every week.

And I live for Bachelor updates from some of you lovely ladies!

10.5. I hate odd numbers but I'm really in love with this song right now

and wanted to share.

P.S. Mom - make sure you pay close attention.

Hugs,
