10 Things You {Probably} Don’t Know About Me

I’ve been wanting to do a post like this for such a long time! I love reading about other bloggers, so I thought it would be fun to tell you some things you most likely don’t know about me! This was so fun to put together. So without further ado, here they are:

#1 – My all time favorite TV show is “Friends.” I could watch that series over and over again without being bored. My husband even bought me the series on blu-ray for our anniversary, even though I already have it on DVD. It’s a beautiful sight. And I’m proud to say that I am totally a Monica!

#2 –
I’m not allergic to any foods. But sometimes if I go out to eat and I really don’t want something put on or in my food, I tell them that I’m allergic. For example, mayo on my burger. Or mushrooms in my pasta. Eww.

#3 – I always seem to be behind on reading the latest book series. I’m just now reading The Hunger Games series. I’m happy to say that I’ve finished the first book and about halfway through the second. It took me 9 1/2 years to read The Work and the Glory series. In my defense, there are nine books and I was also keeping up with the Harry Potter series at the same time. I think that’s the only book series I can say I’ve read as they’ve come out! I am so proud of that.

#4 – I don’t own a smartphone. I own what I call a crapphone. I’m not even going to tell you what kind it is. It’s THAT bad.

#5 – My favorite color is purple. I fell in love with it when I was planning my wedding and had dark purple, black, and silver as my colors. Purple has been my favorite since!

#6 – I. Love. Chex. Muddy. Buddies. They are my favorite sweet treat to snack on. I could eat a full bowl of those till the bowl is just down to the crumbs. And that’s when I grab a spoon and get to work on the crumbs. Oh dear, are they good.

#7 – I attended college at Brigham Young University-Idaho. I entered college not having a CLUE what I wanted to do with my life. I always loved writing, so I started off as a Journalism major. Then that changed to English, then Music, then Photography, then I decided I didn’t know what the heck I wanted to do so I wrapped all my classes up with a major in General Studies. I got my Associate Degree in General Studies after two years, took a two-year break (originally planning on staying away from college), then I decided to go back and finish my Bachelors. I received my degree in Communication, focusing a lot of my studies on public relations. That two-year break gave me time to think about what I really love: writing, photography, people, organization…and the Communication program was all that and more. I don’t have a full time job in my field, but I use what I learned in college on a daily basis. It’s awesome!

#8 – I love to online shop for clothes and jewelry. I wish I had endless amounts of money to buy everything I want!!! The spring and summer lines on my favorite sites are such a tease right now. I want it all! Here’s what I’m drooling over lately:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7
#9 – When it comes to music, I’m all about my lady rockers. Heart and Pat Benatar are two of my all-time favorites. My husband got me tickets to see Heart last summer and it was the BEST! I love those Wilson sisters. Now I just need to see Pat in concert and my bucket list will be that much closer to being complete.

#10 – I’m a burger girl. I LOVE a good cheeseburger. Naturally, I have a list of my favorites:
My #3 favorite burger…
Jack Daniels burger from T.G.I. Friday’s

My #2 favorite burger…
Hard Rock Cafe cheeseburger

And my #1 favorite burger of all time…
 
Crunchburger from Bobby’s Burger Palace

I only wish there was a Bobby’s Burger Palace near me. I guess I’ll have to head back east to get another one!
A trip to NYC, maybe??
 
And there you have it! 
I hope this list helps you get to know me a little better!

    Ok I read your post and OMG I think we were twins separated at birth… I watch Friends ALL DAY LONG…when I come home I watch in on TBS in the early evening…then watch it on NICK then either I will switch it to the West Coast Nick or I will go to bed and watch FRIENDS on a DVD and fall asleep to Friends on the TV.

    I do the same exact thing about food I do not want on my plate..I am allergic..especially with Mayo…YUCK..

    I am way behind the times on books…and just recently upgrade to a smarty pants phone and now I can’t live without it….

    purple has always been my favorite color..even had a pair of purple pants in HS that I loved at the store begged my mom to buy to only get them home and have my siblings laugh at me and my parents make me wear to school to hate them for the rest of my life and still teased about my awful selection of pants…lol

    love the chex mud buddies too.

    College still working on that one….I can’t pass pre-algebra to save my life…

    love online shopping but hate waiting for my crap to show up…love spring and summer

    love love love love love HEART since I was a kid sitting in the backward seat of my mom’s station wagon and I heard Magic Man on the radio…it was love at first sound…
    I have seen both Heart and Pat B in concert….awesome…

    Jack Daniels burger from T.G.I. Friday’s is my favorite.
    Hard Rock is in Downtown Dallas and I don’t do downtown D traffic nightmare.
    do not have the last restaurant in my area.

    I’m always amazed when people tell me they’ve never seen Friends. It ran for ten years! It was the defining sitcom of an entire generation! It’s rerun every half hour practically! How could they have never seen an episode?
