Ok soooo i AM using the blog thread u guys started! Bits n pieces;)…about me…hmmmm. Honestly one thing i can honestly say is what you’ve “seen” is pretty much EXACTLY what you’d get if we were meeting “in person”;). Soooo NOT good (perhaps incapable) of being any other way! In my head what’s the point,i mean i WANT to be friends with the people who REALLY like me so they gotta REALLY know who i am or it’s all a farce,right!? This drives my mom CRAZY about me!!sorry mom it’s dad’s fault i think!lol. Ok so we’re takin the easy road right now and doing a no-brainer “list”. Yep my name is em and im a list-maker!! Its a problem. I know this! I am NOT in denial;)!

1. I am an only child and so is my husband! Yikes-compromising is HARD!

2.i literally told my college roomies i was movin to the caymans to find my husband…i worked there for a summer as a waitress on the beach at “royal palms” and 3 months after i got home he showed up. My husband that is.

3.i majored in FINANCE at the university of TN,knoxvegas…yep finance,wtf??lol.

4.i tend to “go with the flow”/”ride the wave” on the BIG stuff and sweat the small stuff for some wierd reason?!

5.i still feel like i am “playing house” sometimes!

6.i never sing happy birthday,christmas carols,hymns in chuch nuthin’ bc my deep raspy voice will drown everyone else out!;)

7.i feel sorry for Henry because he can’t tie his shoes:(… He could care less.

8.i literally could BAWL my eyes out when i see little boys eat???i know wierd. My mom is like this too???

9.in college me and Jen (my roomie) TRIED soooo hard to be anorexic…it usually lasted a few hours and ended with a 10pm TCBY run!

10. My favorite smell is rubber tires! YEP drop dead serious! When i was pregnant w the twins i would always ride with kris to tractor places (he works for Agco)..he’d be in meetings and i’d go hide somewhere and huff tires. Laugh all you want BUT it’s not a joke!

11.i loooove expensive jeans but couldnt care less about diamonds and foofy jewlery??go figure i know.

12.i HATE opening gifts in front of people?-prob goes back to the fact that im “incapable of ACTING”.if i dont like it i tend to go waaaayyyy overboard acting like i do…in turn making it even more obvious that i HATE it!

13.i used to be a social butterfly now im antisocial???maybe bc i have all u guys to hang out with.lol

14. If i WANT to do something i WILL.ie-one day i taught myself to do photographic oil painted portraits???it was as if i’d done them my whole life in a few hours. Strange again…i know.

15.my mom told me for like 2 years before i got pregnant (round 3)…”honey if you go for #3 you’ll have twins”!!i SWEAR she did!that just seems to be how i roll. I’ve never “kind of” done ANYTHING in my life!?

16.i am extremely STUBBORN. I can admit this BUT i’m only stubborn bc im RIGHT!lol. My husband will cringe at #16;)!

17.i seriously wear an almost A after 4 babies!?

18. My college roomie is very inspiring-(a whole other blog in itself)… She was a firefighter (in national geographic too-cool pic)…lord dunno how many years now but maybe 8?…she fell off a cliff fighting forest fire in idaho and is paralyzed from waist down. She is more active than most people! Snow skis,water skis,handcycling (trying out for olympics actually!;). AND has little sam now! He is 4! She carried him like it was cake for 9 months! We made a deal after i had the twins! Once a week we’d get all our errands garb together (bank,post ofc, grocery) and id be the “legs” while carly stayed in the car with the screamin twins!!it was benefitting us both! But i do think she got the short straw!;)

19. I came from BOTH sides of the tracks!..(another entire future blog)- my dad grew up in a house it snowed IN and his dad’s name was Eagle Eugene (swear) and his mom’s Bobbie Sue…he had an aunt named “Fannie” and 22 FIRST cousins! Lmao!…my moms parents…william brewer and dolores mayme WASATKO!;). They were always dressed PERFECT in their photos…dad and his brothers were posed in cemetaries on headstones of people who had the “purdiest flowers on em’”…yep they had NOO clue who they were perched on! My moms mom taught me if u buy a gift from Belk or Dillards it goes in a Belk or Dillards box!!…my dads mom wrapped my mom’s first holiday gift from them (she was 15) IN A TAMPAX BOX!!!i kid u not…anyways im sure u see how this might turn into an entire blog one day;)!

20. I played golf in high school- went to state tourney 2 years in a row and never shot in the double digits;)…gotta luuuuv high school girls golf!;)

21.i cannot eat chick fila fries with like mcdonalds ketchup or like mcdonalds with arbys and vice versa. Gotta match up! Laura says im crazy and the only diff is the package..No way ive told her to blindfold me and ill use a potato chip and still get them all right!

22.some days im thankful for my wacked mind and creativity…other days i HATE it!

23.i will only drink diet dr pepper in a 20 ounce bottle??? No cans,no 2 liters, 20 OUNCE???

24.when the twins were little we had to duct tape their diapers and put the tape seam in the back or they would “poop paint” omg how i survived ill never know!

25. I HATE decorating christmas trees bc i am soooo rediculously picky… I dont like the ornaments to “dangle” and turn other ways than i intended so i use the teeny clear pony holders to secure them all exactly right! Yep i swear. SickO i know! Oh and EVERY YEAR weve had a real tree ive gotten it PERFECT and it falls over!;)

Next up….ill answer YOUR questions but for now i shall leave u with this rambling nonsense about moi!;)xo
