15 Weird Facts About Me To Prove It

You know those comedians that always open up their show with a lead in like 'Do you know those (insert your group of people, typically some group we can all relate to) who always do....'  just to get you to laugh right off the bat? OK, that's my opening line at open mike night. No, I have never done it but I have played a comedian in my own, real life.

Typically, you will not get straight answers from me. Ask my mother and she will tell you the same thing. I just can't give up this idea that life should be fun.

So, when you read this list, know I do it tongue-in-cheek.

I got this from G's blog, Nouveau Cheap. Man, this is my favorite-est blog. There's something about knowing about products before they hit the shelves that makes me feel like an 'insider.' G helps fulfill that. Wanna be in the know too? Check out her fab blog here.

What's a weird habit of yours?
I have to make my bed every day in order for my day to feel orderly.

What's a song you secretly love to blast and belt out when you're alone?

 I got to see Kansas perform at the Ryman Auditorium at Opryland when I lived in Nashville. 

I was in Wolf Creek Pass, Colorado and went into a boutique. They had some wickedly, awesome clothes; I loved them. And then I saw these boots that were to die for. I said out loud, 'These boots look like something Stevie Nicks would wear.' The shop owner said that Stevie used to come in there to shop when she visited her aunt, who lived outside the town. Oh, my eyes did light up! Unfortunately, I was too broke to buy the boots but 10 years later, I still want them.

 Venti soy no-water chai. With 3 pumps of pumpkin during the Fall and Winter.
