FFF - Friday Fun Facts

I'm not particular on bragging, but I don't mind patting myself on the back when someone out in the blogsphere thinks I'm fun enough to crown me with an award. And that's exactly what Mishi at The Rest of My Life So Far... I'm incredibly flattered and of course I have to pass it forward.

According to the rules of receiving this award I have to tell you 7 things that I love, and then tag 7 other deserving bloggers with the award. Well, I'm going to do this a little different than my normal fact giving posts. Typically I embarrass myself with pointless information (wait, maybe it will be the same), but I'm going to try and not give away too many gory details about myself. Possibly more simple tokens that everyone in my real life knows that you may not.

1. I REALLY REALLY wish Halloween was in the summer or I get invited to a costume party sometime soon.

Why?

Because I am DESPERATE to wear this as a costume:


Come on! How perfect of a costume is this? I won't be pregnant forever, I've got to take advantage of this ridiculous outfit while I can!

2. This is more obvious to the blog world that anyone else, but I can't freaking type or write to save my life lately. Seriously people. How can you even read this blog? I write like an idiot sometimes. I use the wrong words in sentences -which sound phonetically the same when pronounced out loud, but the wrong word none-the-less. If there are word Nazis out there, I'm sorry for contributing to your headaches.

3. I try very hard not to complain in real life. I let it all out here because that's why I started a blog, but right now in my life I'm incredibly happy.

The happiest I've ever been. Honestly.

My job isn't the greatest, but I don't get the urge to slit my wrists over it. My personal life has never ever been better. Every stage of my life has been exciting. I don't look back at any part of my life and wish I could go back. When look back it gives me sense of nostalgia, but I'm most excited looking forward to what's to come and I welcome it. I have a sense of peace about the future and I can't wait for the next big adventure.

4. I have never met a fellow blogger. I really wish I could participate in a Lou meet-up (where are you STL bloggers, Liz, Rebekah?) I'm unbelievably jealous of the Windy City, DC, & LA bloggers who seem to meet up on a weekly basis. I nominate someone else to organize it(I have enough on my plate), but let's wait until after July 10th...believe me, I'll be a lot more fun.

5. Because no one here knows me in real life it's easy for me to let everyone into this very small window of what I choose to expose about myself. At times I've whined about how I felt PH has put our relationship on the back-burner to his teaching and coaching, but I've never been more wrong about anything in my life. I am the first to admit ts was horribly unfair and unjustified.

I have never felt more loved by anyone in my entire life. I feel protected and secure and never worry about our relationship and what we have to waver. I don't think I blindly trust him either. He has never (seriously not once) given me a reason not to trust him.

This wasn't the life I wanted for myself. It's better than I ever imagined it could be.

6. I'm really scared of having a stretched out vag. If I have a C-section, I won't be upset.

7. My favorite quote of the week:

Dolce: Babe, if I didn't lather myself down every night it sticky lotion (to prevent stretch marks) would you put the moves on me more often?

PH: No. But I probably won't be putting moves on you later if you don't take care of yourself now.

The seven people I am tagging for this award are:

Matt from A View From 5280: I just kind of like Matt. He always leaves comments on other people's blog and just gives me the impression of being a good person. And his blog is funny. And he likes strawberry lemonade. How you can resist a guy who drinks strawberry lemonade?

Narm at White Collar Redneck: Besides the fact he's a creative blogger I just really want to see him but a pretty lime green and pink award on his blog. And, Narm, I live in Midwest city...we appreciate our white collar rednecks.

Cal at Sidenote: She always has fun stories and writes little tid-bits of her day. And she LOVES dogs. I like dog people.

Lilu at Like It, Love It: Her TMI surpasses us all. The shit she does leaves me speechless...and that, my friends, is saying a lot.

Always a Bridesmaid at 27 Dresses in Cleveland: I don't know what it is about Cleveland girls, but they're always entertaining.

Laurwilk at Rainbows On My Feet: A solid Midwesterner (are we experiencing a pattern?) who has seen the world and currently lives in NY...every Midwest girl's dream come true.

InsomniacLolita at The Insomniac Lolita: From one insomniac to another...glad you're out there!
