Fact 1. I'm extremely self conscious. To a fault. Sometimes it takes over every single thought & I just feel like no matter what I do, it's never enough or it's never right.

Fact 2. I will listen to an artist or a song, even if I hate it, as long as I can sing to it {& in my head sing it well}. Not much to say about this one, it's just true.

Fact 3. I watch & re-watch seasons of TV shows that I love. I have probably seen FRIENDS and Gilmore Girls more than many people. Some things just never get old.

Fact 4. I would go to Disney World every single year for vacation, and never get bored. Let's be real, I have done this every year with my family since I was in fourth grade.

Fact 5. If I could, I would have my dogs with me 24/7. They sleep most of the time anyway, what would be the harm?

Fact 6. I could seriously drink coffee all day. I would have to cut myself off at about 6, otherwise this girl won't sleep. {When coffee stops, wine begins... Sounds pretty good to me}

Fact 7. I did gymnastics & danced pretty much my entire childhood, up until high school. Hence why when I get together with a few of my friends things like this sometimes tend to happen after a few drinks... Totally classy though


Fact 8. I am constantly cold. Seriously, it's a problem. I have 5 or 6 blankets on my bed and sleep in long sleeves and sweat pants yet still wake up cold.

Fact 9. I am the oldest of three. So basically it means I was the guinea pig & I see my sisters getting away with things I wouldn't of been able to be caught dead doing & I vow to not to do that to my oldest, but most likely will. {P.S. I do have some great parents though :) }

Fact 10. If I don't have a bag of curly-ish noodles and a jar of Ragu-Light Parmesan Alfredo sauce, I get very sad. This is by far one of my favorite comfort foods. Usually eaten later on at night before I go to bed {probably 3-4 times a week}... Takes no time to whip it up & is delicious {Andrew thinks this is gross lol}

I just can't help it. From twenty-five females all competing for one guy to some over the top, ridiculously rich family members who really are just famous for being famous. Throw in a few red-neck shows where they have to use subtitles just to understand them & I'll happily sit my butt in front of the TV for hours, with multiple glasses of wine {of course}.

Personally, I blame {& by blame I mean thank} Lauren Conrad for this. Laguna Beach and The Hills, turned me into a crazy reality TV fanatic. {Who didn't root for LC and Steee-phen?!}

I do give huge kudos to Lauren Conrad, taking her name from reality star level to creating a business for herself. Personally, I think she is the supreme example of how reality stars can take their positions and create something so great out of it.

I know, I know, you're either rolling your eyes right now or shaking your head "YES!" because you know exactly what I am talking about. Regardless of the full "reality" of these shows there's just something about them that keeps you coming back for more {& by you, I mean me, maybe you but definitely me}.

Generally, once a show is over, I think to myself...

So here's to another Monday that is full of some more "real" life drama!

A few weeks back a couple of my friends and I were hanging out, like we do once every week, for drinks and conversation. The topic of relationships & why some work while others don't came up which got me thinking...

What makes Andrew and I click?!

As we are just three months away from our two year anniversary I was thinking about this today so I figured what better way than to put it in words.

We are crazy & out there together. Sometimes I think, "What would someone think if they just peeked in on us right now." like that crazy together & I love it. He truly is one of the only people I am in no way self conscious around... I definitely let my freak flag fly when we are together {just ask him lol}

We are our own people. This is something that has taken me some time to really appreciate. We are two separate people who have chosen to spend our lives together, but that doesn't mean we have to be one person, we don't have to do everything together. There's something to be said about having your own space, your own interests. Like I said, it has taken a lot of time for me to really appreciate this aspect of our relationship but I am definitely starting to see the upsides. I, personally, don't think it's healthy to do everything together all of the time, we constantly communicate with one another about what we each have going on, every single day we learn something new about one another and I absolutely love that. {Of course, we have tons of hobbies and activities that we do together too :)}

Building off of the last one, we are independent individuals. We both have our jobs, our education's and we aren't dependent on one another for anything but we choose to be together, and in times of need, take care of each other. It's a beautiful thing to choose your partner instead of needing them.

We balance each other out completely. I'm more outgoing, sociable and love to entertain people. Him, not so much, he is a very relaxed and low key type of person. My favorite example though, I am not a morning person. He is completely a morning person, to the point I get aggravated. I just don't get how someone can have so much energy just waking up... I need two or three cups of coffee to just compete with his mood in the morning.

We fight. Plain and simple. We aren't afraid to say what we think, when we think it. We aren't afraid to be brutally honest, even if it makes the other extremely mad. {which we will both attest to that we have had moments of sheer frustration with each other} We are the farthest thing from a "perfect" couple & that's okay, heck that's how it's supposed to be. Marriage, not supposed to be easy, it takes a lot of work and just when you think you are ready to give up, you just have to fight that much harder.

At the end of the day, no matter what, we love each other. We choose each other. As aggravated as we can get with one another there's no one else I'd rather be aggravated with. I couldn't of picked a better person to spend my life with, to have a family with, to grow old with.

Today, I'm in a mood.

You know, that mood where everything has to go just right or you go bat shit crazy?

That's me today.

There's really no reason, it just is.

Okay I lied maybe there is a reason, at 5:15 am this morning our ceiling light decided to turn on, on it's own. Needless to say I was woken up by a bright light, very confused, tired and pissed off. 

Good thing too because looking back, it should of terrified the crap out of me & now it is...

Having to wake up at 6 am, I wasn't able to completely fall back asleep.

Damn ghost's or whatever it was that prompted the light to go on all by itself.

So I'm multiple cups of coffee in this morning and writing this lovely post & just ranting.

And while we are being real here, this is how I'm feeling about work today...

Is it 4:30 yet?!?

I'm ready to go home.

And yes, I'll keep you all updated on the ghost situation.

Happy hump day!

I'm a little late to the Golden Globe party but alas, here I am.

I was going to share my thoughts on the best and worst dressed of the night but after reading a few articles and getting Yahoo's take on the stars {with their grading system} I realized that either I was insane for liking the stars I did or Yahoo just had it all wrong...

Case in point:

Jessica Chastain

Yahoo gave her a D+ on this dress while I was thinking how much I loved it, I think the color fits her perfectly with her skin tone and hair color... But hey, who am I right?!

Anyway some of my favorite moments of the night included Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrels's bit, I laughed the entire time {& btw she was gorgeous!}

Of course, Jodi Foster's speech...

One tiny little issue I have with the whole celebrities and preaching about having privacy is this... If you choose to have the life of a celebrity, I feel as though any normal level of privacy is gone. Sharing your life with the world kind of just comes along with it. I'm not in any way saying it's easy or that everyone should jump up and down and love it because I couldn't even imagine having every little thing I do watched and criticized. However it comes with the territory, every job has it's good and bad points, sure it may be a bad point but it is what it is. Embrace it and use it positively. *end of soapbox*

Moving right along, my favorite part of the night had to be Ben Affleck's incredibly fast speech. He was going a mile a minute and managed to forget a few people, which was fine because his wifey picked up the slack and thanked the others for him when she got up to present an award.

Could they be any cuter together?!

Next up... Monday night television. I stayed up close to 1 a.m. and still haven't watched everything I had taped, can we say ridiculous?!

Bachelor, not too much exciting-ness if you ask me. Now next week shit will hit the fan with Tierra falling down some steps, cue ambulance, tears, blaming everyone in the house and Sean's pity. This girl seems like a basket case and I can't wait to see it unfold!

Fun fact : Sean is lucky number 25 in the Bachelor/Bachelorette family. Yup, that's right there have been 17 Bachelor's {Including Sean} and 8 Bachelorette's

My take on the Carrie Diaries, I think it will be worth watching. Of course I need to give it a couple more weeks just to be sure. 

Teen Mom 2... I balled my eyes out. Seriously, mess with a dog or a baby and I just can't handle it. Here's what I don't get, sure the dog wasn't on a leash so therefore they say there's nothing Chelsea can do but it was brought up on the show, what if Aubrey were to be outside and the dog hurt her? I get that they are totally not the same thing BUT the dog killed another dog, regardless of who is at fault it happened and I think that the owner of the other dog should have to be held accountable for that and take actions to make sure their dog is contained better so that this doesn't happen again & so the dog never hurts a human...

I think that's enough rambling for one day! Hope everyone's Tuesday is going swimmingly!
