Random happenings and ten things about me.......

I feel like such a bad blogger, lately. I promise to be present more but it's going to be kind of hard. The last time we "talked" I told you about my conflicted emotions of getting a job.

Well, I got the job!! I was and am still so excited about it. That right there tells me I am ready for this. It's only going to be part time and they are willing to work with me on my schedule. :) Such a blessing and much needed for all of us. :) However, I am definitely going to have less free time and the time that I do will be (mostly) devoted to my family. I am still of course planning on blogging because I love it and I love you guys. I guess I will just be a little (more) inconsistent.

With that being said let's move right along! The lovely Kerry over at It's The Little Things.... tagged me!

I am supposed to share with you ten things about me that you don't already know. This might be kind of hard..........so if I repeat myself with something you already know, just pretend I didn't. ;)


1.) I went to school to be a nail technician. I loved doing nails, but what I didn't love was the cost of schooling, the lack of teaching and the lack of support from the school itself. I quit halfway through the program because I felt my money wasn't being well spent.

2.) I had two pet rats when I was a child; baby and Sunny.

3.) I love couponing and rarely shop without them!

4.) I had a reoccuring dream all through childhood about fleeing from cops up a mountain on a donkey with my Dad. I fell off the donkey and was drug behind. Weird, I know!

5.) I have a mild purse obsession. I say mild, but my husband would tell you something different. ;)

6.) I don't know how to french braid and it frustrates the crap out of me!

7.) I have a scar on the side of my face near my left eye where I fell on a propane tank when I tripped over a trailer hitch. I was playing tag and didn't watch where I was going.

8.) I struggle with unexplained vertigo. It comes and goes and sometimes lasts for days at a time. Usually only affects me when laying down or leaning down and turning my head from side to side. Not fun. Makes me totally nauseous too. :(

9.) I didn't like popcorn or almonds until this year.

10.) I love seafood.....crab, lobster, clams, oysters, you name it. Unfortunately, it doesn't love me anymore. About 8 years ago I developed an allergy. :( Now, I can't eat it at all. Worst part is that I know what I am missing out on.


What are some things that I don't know about you?!

    You will be awesome at balancing it all...I know it!
    And I loved your ten things. Your dream cracked me up. I used to have one too when I was younger. I would be trick or treating in my nani's neighborhood. And I would go across the st and a gorilla (a real one would answer the door) and hand me a banana. LOL
