Healthy Little Me 101

Happy Friday, ya'll. Thought I'd share an idea I stole from another blog today. Presenting - Healthy Little Me 101

21 Facts about HLM

1. I am currently starting to panic with this whole facts thing - am I interesting enough to come up with 21 facts to dazzle you with?

2. I make fun of hipsters but I like to dress like them.

3. I am super socially awkward when I'm hungover.

4. The Price is Right might be (read: definitely is) my favorite show.

5. I want to participate in a flash mob really badly.

6. I am madly in love with coffee. And I drink it black, like cowboys do.

7. I wear fake push up bras all the time. But I'm pretty sure I'm only fooling myself.

8. I fly a lot. And I love making friends on airplanes. Yes - I'm the annoying girl who wants to talk to you on your flight.

9. I really love giving advice - even when you don't want it.

10. Aside from doggy paddling like an idiot, I don't know how to swim. And all of my friends do - which embarrasses me. I need to take lessons but I'm afraid I'll look stupid.

11. I can't chew gum without swallowing it. And the seven year thing is total bullshit - because I would be dead right now from inner-gum clogging if that were true.

12. I have no idea what my blood type is. But I have memorized my social security number, driver's license number, and checking account number.

13. If it were up to me, I would never shave my armpits or legs. But the boyfriend kind of ruins that - something about fur being a turn off? I digress...

14. I have the most diverse family, ever. My brother is a diver in Bulgaria, my sister is a theatre actress in Chicago, the other sister does nothing in Tennessee, and my parents are financial people in Charlotte.

15. I seriously care more about animals than people.

16. I can fix just about anything with a roll of duct tape.

17. I work in a male-dominated industry. It is unusual to be on a job site where there is more than one woman at a time (me).

18. I own one million pairs of sunglasses. And they are all huge. 

19. I am getting more emotional in my old age. I legit cry over the dumbest, sappiest commercials. You know that lip-synching proposal video that was on youtube? The one with the Bruno Mars song? Yeah, I cry just thinking about it.

20. I don't think you can have enough friends. But that being said, I'm kind of snobby when it comes to those in my circle.

21. Remember how I said Price is Right is my favorite show? Yeah, so is Jeopardy. I'm an old woman when it comes to TV.

3 Legitimate Fears

1. Drowning

2. Failure

3. Cockroaches (southerners call them "waterbugs" or "Palmetto bugs" ugh!)

Describe My Relationship with My Significant Other

It's about as perfect as a relationship can be considering the fact that we've been dating for almost five years and I've been gone 75% of the past year for work. He is my best friend and partner. I honestly couldn't have taken the crazy ass leap in career choice that I did if it wasn't for his support. I am totally in love and I'm probably going to marry this one.

He went RUNNING with me last time I was home just because he wanted to spend as much time with me as possible. Anyone who knows the boyfriend knows that this might be the sweetest shit they've ever heard based on the fact that the boy HATES to run.

What would I Tell My 16 Year Old Self

1. Don't cry over breaking up with Ben. He's not that cool.

2. Always look in the rearview mirror before you back out of the driveway or you might (read: definitely will) back into your father's brand new company car.

3. Pay more attention in Algebra II or you'll regret it in college. 

4. Don't use box-Feria to color your hair. Just don't.

5. Give Meagan Clifton her Hollister skirt back.

Things That Make Me Happy

Being home, my boyfriend, my animals, my friends, running, alcohol, Hoda and Kathie Lee, nail polish, new clothes, shoes, business class on planes, and afternoon naps.
