Randomness About Me

Allison of Crafted Love did a few posts about her and I thought that it was awesome way to get to know someone in the blog world, so I have decided to do some randomness about me posts..

1. I still live at home with the parentals (my dad and stepmom).

2. I want my own place really bad!!

3. I'm allergic to nickel and have to buy either the really expensive earrings or the really cheap Wal-Mart nickel free earrings, and since I don't have a ton of extra money, it's the latter.

4. I have a huge celebrity crush on Matthew Gray Gubler. He's just so adorable!

5. I've had my nose pierced since I was 18. (I will be 25 next week) My dad told me that I had to wait until I turned 18 because he told me he wasn't going to go with me to get another piercing.


6. I have 5 piercings in my left ear and 3 in my right ear.

7. I have 1 tattoo on my left foot.

14. I love purses and almost always buy one when I go shopping.

15. I like owls.

16. I LOVE to go scrapbook shopping, however I don't scrap enough to make up for all the money I've spent.


17. I use to think Glee was stupid, but thanks to an old co-worker (Hi Marsha!), it is one of my favorite shows.

18. I want to live in a city. Crazy, considering I'm terrified of driving in cities.

ABC's

So I suppose that I should update this little old blog of mine. It has been pretty neglected lately. :(

Today was a pretty sad day. As some of you know, I work in a daycare and last Wednesday, one of our 1 year old passed away. Today was her funeral. She will be dearly missed and the suffering her family is going through breaks my heart. So I just wanted to let you know that is where my head has been the past few days.

(Please don't mind my eyebrows... I really have to get them done again.)

Anyways, I saw this on someone else's blog (can't remember who so if it was your idea, please let me know and I'll credit you!) and thought it was kinda cool.

4 Simple Goals...

Elsie over at A Beautiful Mess is doing a 4 Simple Goals Before 2011 challenge. She is challenging anyone who wants to do this to make 4 simple goals that will make your life happier on a daily basis. I know that I need to try to improve my daily life so I am going to be doing this!

My 4 Simple Goals are :

1) Create more. Either it be scrapbooking, drawing, painting, sewing, whatever it is, I need to sit down and just create and let my mind wander for a bit and not worry about all that is stressing me.

2) Exercise atleast 3-4 times a week for 20-30 minutes. I need to get into a healthier exercise routine and I have access to a wonderful wellness center but I don't use it. I need to get over my fear of other people looking at me while on the treadmill.

3) Smile more. Plain and simple, I need to lose the scowl and smile!! :) :) :)

4) Budget/manage my money better! This one is huge for me. I would like to move out of my parents house sometime soon so I have to watch my spending habits so I can make this one work!!

Go over to Elsie's blog and join her 4 Simple Goals challenge.
