Nothing to write about today… I guess I’ll skip it today.  Open Blogger to see if I have any drafts ready to post.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  10,000 hits!!!!

I know that may seem like nothing to some of you that managed to hit that in a matter of weeks, but for me – it was a huge deal.  I just write about my life and the things I do and see and feel.  My very first link up was in January.  I didn’t really start sponsoring blogs until Erin and Venus made it so fun and I’ve never done any sort of giveaways.  I wanted to put myself out there and my goal was to get to 10,000 before I turned 30 (it’s on the list).

So thank you thank you thank you for helping me get to that goal.

11 facts about me:
  1. Green is my favorite color.  Every shade of it.
  2. I can get a sunburn in less than 5 minutes, so I’m a walking sunblock ad.
  3. Some girls like shoes, I love sunglasses.  All day and all night.  I’m quite positive I look better with them on – no matter what the occasion.
  4. Wilson Phillips was my first CD. Thank you Bridesmaids for introducing the rest of the world to the best girl group ever.
  5. I have a weird obsession with lists.
  6. My knees are double jointed.
  7. I have no tattoos or piercings.
  8. I love a cheesy musical.
  9. I’ve met Andy Cohen in real life, which is awesome because I think he’s a genius.
  10. My brother is my complete opposite (except that we both have the same colors hair and we’re loud.)
  11. I don’t like the number 11.
11 Questions from Tami:
1.  If you had an extra hour each day, how would you spend it?  I would probably cook more or actually exercise as much as I should.  Ha.  Truth bomb, I would sleep or call it an additional Happy Hour.
2.  If you could only eat one thing every day for the rest of your life what would it be?  My Grandma’s fruit salad is one of my favorite things ever.  That or Cream Cheese Wontons.  So healthy.
3.  Do your best friends/significant other/parents have any weird nicknames for you?  In college, I acquired the nickname “Bruiser” and there are still a handful of people that call me that.  Other than that, I have nothing.
4.  Link to one of your favorite blog posts you’ve ever written.  I am still quite proud of this moment – When My Husband is Away… and this is the cutest thing in the world – Taylor Swift is her hero
5.  Which celebrity grinds your gears the most?  I have a strong distaste for Nicolas Cage.  His voice makes me shudder and cringe.  My friends think it’s hysterical to talk about him and pretend they think he’s sexy just to gross me out.  Also, Kim Kardashian makes me crazy.
6. What would I find in your purse at any given moment?  Chapstick, my iPhone, my planner, at least 2 pairs of sunglasses, sunscreen and trash – because I’m too lazy to clean it out.
7.  If you could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would you choose?  This question involves way too much thinking to pick just one, so you get the first person that jumped in my brain.  Tina Fey.
8.. What is your blogging pet peeve?  Too many reviews/guest posts/stuff that isn’t really done for the person themselves.  I love a good guest post every once in a while because it helps me find other bloggers that I wouldn’t have found on my own, but I have to stop reading blogs that have 3-4 posts a week that they get paid to do or that someone else wrote.  
9.  Tell us an embarrassing moment.  I went to high school with a distant relative whose last name is the same as mine and her first name is close and when we graduated, we were in the cathedral which is huge.  I thought I heard them call my name to get my diploma, but instead it was her name and I looked like the idiot trying to sneak back across the stage to wait my turn.  Plus, I blush instantly and it’s impossible to hide.  
10.  What’s your favorite book?  I love lots of books, but if I can only pick one, it’s the Little Prince and it has been for a long long time.  I love that book so much I even read it in French.
11.  On a guy – boxers or briefs?  Like I care, just don’t adjust your nuts in public all the time.
