For my 30th birthday, I shared
30 Things You May Not Know About Me on my 30th Birthday and then
last year I answered 31 Questions on my 31st Birthday. This year I thought I'd go back to the list of things you may not know about me. If you've been following along for the past few years, some of these may be repeats, but if you're new, here's a little bit more about me!
1. I hate umbrellas. I find them extremely annoying and inconvenient. Good thing I live in a place where it almost never rains.
2. I'm obsessed with the Chick fil a sauce from Chick fil a.
3. I'm obsessive about expiration dates. If it's expired, it's gone (even by one day - nope, bye bye). If I think it's been in the fridge too long, it's gone. If I'm at all iffy on it, it's gone. Seth things I'm crazy. I think I'm cautious.
4. When I buy something really expensive (like a TV or when I bought my car), I have extreme buyers remorse, even though I know I love it.
5. I LOVE taking Mason to the post office and I love his love for the post office, but in general, it's not my favorite place.
6. I HATE shopping in real stores (vs online). It's not so much that I hate going to the stores, but with ebates and online sales and coupon codes, I feel like I always get screwed and end up paying too much when shopping in store. Plus I also like trying things on in the comfort of my own home, with all my other clothes to help me make outfits, which is probably why I love Stitch Fix so much also.
7. I'm very much an AC girl vs a windows down girl when driving in the car.
8. Speaking of, I have a sun roof (moon roof? the one that opens!) in my car that I never open. I open the shade so the sun comes in, but I don't think I've ever actually opened it to get fresh air since I got my car over 7 years ago.
9. I cry when I laugh too hard. It's kind of embarrassing.
10. I'm terrible at finishing drinks. I almost always leave a sip or two at the bottom of the drink, no matter if it's a hot drink or cold drink. I have no idea why.
11. I don't know how to parallel park.
12. I'm terrible at trying to park backwards in a parking spot or our car port.
13. I think I like the monster trucks from Blaze and the Monster Machines more than Mason and have an obsession with going to Target and seeing if they have any new ones that we don't have yet.
14. I am the most inconsistent blogger. In September, the first two weeks of the month, I think I blogged twice a week and in the last two weeks, I have a post planned for everyday. All I can say is... when I have content to share, I share! And when I don't, I don't!
15. I love scarves. Like LOVE. I wear one almost everyday. And not necessarily for warmth.
16. I love Starbucks. The obsession has gotten better but one time in college, my friend and I went 6 times in 5 days.
17. My top 5 most often used emojis are the eye roll, the crying laughing face, the heart eyes face, the thumbs up, and the celebrate party horn thingy with confetti coming out. I don't use it THAT often but one of my other favorites is the "money flying away" (dollar bill with wings) emoji.
18. I hate talking on the phone. I'm not really sure why, but I much prefer texting (or emailing if I'm at work). Impersonal, I know.
19. Back in high school, I used to be obsessed with N*SYNC, The Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, and all those other boy bands. I do have to admit that I still like Justin Timberlake -- I'm obsessed with that "Can't Stop the Feeling" song!
20. I love chocolate. If I were to suddenly become allergic to it... I would just deal with it. And still eat chocolate.
21. Two of my biggest fears in life are raw chicken and uncooked eggs. We cook them both a lot, but I literally obsess over the cleanliness in the kitchen if raw chicken is involved.
22. Some of my other fears are the garbage disposal (Irrational? Maybe. I know it won't turn on unless I flip the switch, but I have this fear that if I stick my hand/finger in there to get something, it will turn on by itself and chop my finger off. I refuse. And make Seth do it.), driving behind those huge car hauler trucks, and bugs - of all kinds, but mostly spiders.
23. I'm almost as obsessed with layering as I am scarves. I ALWAYS wear a tank top under my main shirt, no matter how hot it is outside.
24. Seth and I met at Barnes and Noble... when I was his boss and he was my employee...oops!
25. I hate nuts in my cookies or brownies or any baked good for that matter. I also hate root beer and will turn down a root beer float every single time I'm offered one. Coke float all the way!
26. In 8th grade, I first found out I needed glasses. I refused to wear them at first because I HATED them. I would rather squint at the board in school, looking so crazy doing so, rather than wear my glasses. I was stoked when my grandpa (my ophthalmologist) said I could wear contacts. And that's how it's been ever since. I have glasses but I never wear them. They are only in case of "omg my eye is going to fall out and I will go blind if I stick my contacts in my eyes" emergencies. Let's hope this day never comes.
27. I've never broken a bone. {knock on wood} And I'd like to keep it that way. I've also never been stung by a bee. And I'd also like to keep it that way.
28. I love getting pedicures. I try to go about once a month because they literally last that long. I think my favorite part is the foot and leg massage!
29. I don't like Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I know, I know. I'm like the only one in the whole world but I don't like the spicy-ness about them. I do love a good Caramel Apple Cider from Starbucks in the Fall though!
30. I fall asleep on the couch more often than I care to admit.
31. I can't cook. But Seth can and does. He can't bake. But I can and do.
32. I literally had this titled "31 things about me on my 31st birthday" for THE LONGEST TIME and then I realized... I'm turning 32. #fail. Guess 32 (or right before 32) is when your memory starts to go! Ha!
