I am participating in the Send Something Good project (with Gentri Lee, Kaitlyn, and Kristy). Everyone participating is linked up with another blogger they don’t know…and the best part about it is that you don’t know who has you (it’s a round-robin). I love secrets! We will send the blogger we have a package filled with treats and goodies that either they enjoy or things that are specific to Chicago. I have some great ideas for some things I want to send my blogger, but I still need to get to know her a little better. I hope she participates in today’s link-up.
Since I’m also a newer blogger I thought the “get to know me” post was absolutely necessary and would help out the blogger that has me for the Send Something Good project. Below are 26 facts about me…you know, since I’m 26 years old. (And I totally just had to think about how old I am…that’s when you know you’re getting OLD.)
1. I love shoes, but I actually hate wearing them. I take them off the second I walk in the door.
2. I am obsessed with Rihanna. Yes, she’s a rebel, but I love her anyway.
3. I don’t have a favorite color. Well I do, but it changes everyday. Today is coral. Tomorrow? Maybe blue.
4. I clearly have ADD (see #3).
5. I randomly developed eczema in college and cannot wear anything scented except perfume on my wrists (no lotions, scent-free laundry detergent, body wash – the whole shebang).
6. My favorite sports to watch are hockey and college football – love the Pittsburgh Penguins and of course my Alma Mater, University of Alabama Crimson Tide.
7. I honestly don’t know my true natural hair color. I’m currently a red head (and was born with red hair), but I’ve also been blonde and brunette.
8. I hate long distance running, but I love to work-out. Soccer is my favorite and I’ve played since I was 6.
9. I recently have taken an interest in reading. Mostly chick books.
10. I despise cold weather yet I’ve lived most my life in the Midwest. Winters are horrible here.
11. Cupcakes are my absolute favorite dessert.
12. I am very addicted to social media – Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest mostly.
13. I love to travel. My goal is to visit all 50 states before I turn 50. I think I’m at 20-something already.
14. I despise pickles, regular mustard (♥ honey mustard), onions, tomatoes (unless they are marinated in garlic), really spicy food, and coconut.
15. I could eat pizza every meal for a year and not get sick of it. I’d weigh 2,000 lbs. but I’d still love it!
16. I love elephants.
17. I am a fan of all music except heavy metal and super twangy country.
18. I really, really want to become a good photographer.
19. I have a younger brother (24) named Ebby.
20. I love to shop (but I’m 99% sure if you’ve read more than one post on my blog you already knew that).
21. I really like to bake, because I’m good at it. I don’t usually like to cook, because I’m horrible at it.
22. I like to make things. Do-it-yourself projects and crafts make me happy.
23. I’m not a huge wine fan but I love me some champagne.
24. I named my puggle (pug/beagle mix) Crosby after Sidney Crosby – captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
25. My favorite number is 10.
26. I really enjoy interior decorating even though I don’t think I’m particularly great at it.
Okay – that’s it. Hopefully you learned something about me that you didn’t know! Happy (almost) Friday!
I love shoes and hate wearing them too! Ha! I’m also the same way with wine and champagne.
Totally wish you lived close so you could join us for crafting!!! Hope you get some good stuff!
I sooo wished I lived close enough to come over for craft night. Guess I’ll have to start my own in Chicago.
Okay first, I have to admit that the title of this post made me think of the T.I. song. Don’t know if that’s what you were thinking about, but I definitely was!
Chick books are the best. They’re the only kind of books that I read, except The Hunger Games.
I want a pet elephant and I would name her Tallulah. I think that’s such a badass name for a girl elephant. hahaha just me?
Um I think you are my long lost bff. I was totally going for the TI song. You read my mind.
And Tallulah. I absolutely LOVE that name for a pet elephant. If only my apartment had more square footage than an elephant would take up…details, details. Do you think they make mini-elephants yet (like they do giraffes)? Ha.
I’m pretty sure I have ADD too, I can’t focus on most things for a long time. I love cupcakes and elephants as well!
Yea, but having ADD kind of makes your life more fun. You get bored easily so you’re always moving on to something newer and better. At least that’s what I do.
Thanks for stopping by!
i want a puggle!
also, a few weeks ago i realized i’ve been telling people i’m 30…. i turned 31 in October. oops!!
glad to have you participating in send something good! talk to you soon!
Oohh I should put a disclaimer on the fact that I have a puggle. Love him to death and he’s the cutest thing ever, but he is a complete handful. He is now 4 and finally calming down a little bit (thankfully). They are VERY hyperactive and need LOTS of attention. I did not read anything about the breed before I got him.
thanks for stopping by!!
I LOVE your list!
I have a lot of favorite colors too. But I’ve finally decided thtat taupe is my favorite. 
Thanks Gentri! I’m so excited for this swap! Can’t wait to go shopping to get some good things for my blogger.
I clearly have ADD as well… once a teacher suggested I was tested for it… I would rather live in ignorance
Haha yea. Probably better to not know! Thanks for stopping by Deidre!
I’m so glad you’re in the Send Something Good swap! This is absolutely a wonderful *WONDERFUL* list of things. I’m glad I’m not the only person who doesn’t know their actual hair color.
You have such a cool blog. I may have just spent a good hour reading over it. Following along now
Aw yay! Thanks for reading Terri. Stopping by your blog too. Already love it just by looking at the picture of you in a hockey jersey (i LOVE hockey)!
Great list. I share the same sentiment about shoes. They’re pretty to look at but very few are actually comfortable. I’m glad I’m a resident of Southern California where it’s perfectly acceptable to don open-toed shoes in the middle of winter.
Southern California? I’m soo jealous! Chicago is great sometimes…but I will never love cold weather. Thanks for stopping by!
shelby! we have so much in common!! especially number 1-5… i developed excema in college too!! how crazy! oh and i despise mustard as well. love your post!
Really? That’s crazy! My doctor told that it was so rare to develop eczema in your 20′s, but glad I’m not the only one. It’s a pain in the butt too. I always feel bad when people buy me lotions…I can never use them.
Thanks for stopping by!
I have a really hard time sticking to a favorite color…okay, maybe not so much sticking to is finding just one that I love…currently it’s mustard yellow (and yes, I LOVE mustard and can’t stand honey mustard…even though the color is more like honey mustard than regular mustard…) haha and if you can’t tell, I’m a little ADD myself
)
Oh and I love your blog name..Thats a great song!!
