As you know, I’m heading to a gathering of bloggers this weekend – the Blathering! Since I dont’ know anyone whose going I’m following the lead of the others and sharing this list of 13 things about me. Regular readers should also enjoy the list.
- I didn’t do the Blathering survey. I didn’t really know I was supposed to do it and then when I figured out I was, I was too nervous that my responses wouldn’t be as witty and smart as some of the others.
- I don’t know anyone going to the Blathering. I’ve been working on “meeting” other attendees through the miracles of The Twitter. And Facebook. And reading their 13 things. And watching their accent vlogs.
- I love music. Almost any kind and I love finding new music. My husband hates my music. My current Pandora station has gone from Modest Mouse to Elton John to Carole King and now Red Hot Chili Peppers.
- I’ve been married 2.5 years.
- No human or furry kids.
- I actually got married in Austin at a cute little chapel in the hills. I know where a few good things are, so if you need suggestions on what to do, I could help you out.
- I’m a little bit of an awkward hugger. I seem to lack the ability to tell which way the other person is going to lean, and almost always end up face to face. I also am about 50/50 on being able to tell if the other person wants to hug or not. In unsuccessful situations, I am left hanging with my arms open and sort of hovering forward.
- Sometimes my cursing gets out of control, especially if I’m around other cursers. My husband thinks it’s cute, as he gently reminds me that it’s not very lady like.
- I love taking pictures and will either take hundreds of pictures, or none, depending on how embarrassed I feel whipping out my camera. Thanks to my cell phone and iPod cameras, I don’t feel so obvious.
- I love cooking and trying new recipes. I had all the best kitchen accessories even before I got married.
- One of my favorite past times is exchanging funny videos, picture and jokes from the internet with my family.
- I’m addicted to lip products, most specifically Burt’s Bees lip balm. I have 2 lip balms and 3 glosses in my desk. I would estimate at least another 5-8 more in my purse. (Ok, so I had to look, there are 4 lip balms, 2 glosses and 2 lipsticks.
- I might not have memorized everyone else’s 13 facts or watched every accent vlog, but I honestly can’t wait for this weekend to meet everyone!!!
See y’all soon!
Andrea Unplugged 
We can cuss together. I’m a terrible potty mouth.
Sounds like a plan to me!!
Hooray fellow music-based-lifeforms!
Also, I completely get the awkward hugger thing. I think that trait runs in my family.
AND! Burt’s Bees! Yes! Always!
Yay! Kindred spirit!!!
Hooray for #3. I am going to hook you ladies up with some new stuff this weekend. My Blathering Mix will contain no Nickelback or Avril Lavigne, promise.
Guuuurl, I am a lip-product whore too. Right now I have probably six in my purse and four in the drawer in the desk I’m typing on. I have to have ALL THE LIP PRODUCTS!
Can’t wait to meet you!!
Maybe we can compare our collections? I will make sure to bring a good sampling of my favorites!!
Burt’s Bees makes the best stuff!
I honestly don’t know how people can live without lip balm.
I have a potty mouth too. I’m a hugger but am not fazed by awkward hugs.
I was LITERALLY applying some Burt’s Bees lip balm while reading this. It’s my go to desk stick, but in my purse I’m all about the Fresh lip treatments (with Honey being my favorite).
I, too, am addicted to Burt’s Bees. If you happen to misplace yours, I’ll have your back, sister.
Also, please hug me. I love them, awkward or not. And I curse like a sailor, too! Let’s spend the whole weekend being as un-lady-like as possible.
Elsha, Erica, happilyeverme, Erica – Yay for the Burt’s Bees girls!! I dropped my Burt’s behind the desk at work (where it is untouchable) a few weeks ago and was super distraught. Thank goodness for the back up in my purse.
Sarah in Ottawa – YAY for the Blathering Mix! Thanks for no Nickelback or Avril. But admittedly, every now and then hearing Avril takes me back to a special place in time from 10 years ago!
Michelle & Erica – Awkward Hugs for everyone! Especially you two.
Sounds like you gals are in for a wonderful weekend. Have fun and be safe! (You know I had to throw that in there.)
So I read this and didn’t think I had that many lip products. Low and behold (in my itty bitty crossbody bag, no bigger than a wallet) there are 2 lipsticks, 2 lip glosses and of course Burt’s Bees. I blame my lip product obsession on you. You’re my older sister and I just look up to you so much. Haha. (No sarcasm there at all.)
i read that as you’d been married 2.5 TIMES at first 🙂
