If you really knew me...


If you really knew me you would know that:

I'm in love/obsessed with sharks but have an irrational fear of them. 
So much so that I refuse to go in the ocean past my feet.

I can quote every Harry Potter movie almost word for word.
I've been to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter more times than I can count. (I used to live next door)

I used to go to Target at least twice a day before moving to Germany.

Our Puggle, Monster, was a Christmas gift from the Hubby. She's been our baby for 6 years now.

My favorite shows right now are New Girl, The Office, Weeds, and Modern Family.

I think Adventure Time is the best cartoon ever made. Ever.

I hate when things aren't clean and organized.

I love cooking.

I refuse to wash dishes by hand. It makes me nauseous.

I was a co-manager at the #2 Forever 21 in the country, 
then became a Visual Merchandiser so I could have more fun and be creative at work.
Now I work from home doing blog designs.

I have anxiety.

My goal in life is to live in a log cabin on a farm.

I've lived in Florida my entire life and had never left the country before our move to Germany.

The Hubs and I are high school sweethearts. It will be our 9th year together in September.

The day before our move to Germany, I ate so much alfredo at Olive Garden that I threw up.

I have never had long hair. I've had an asymmetrical faux-hawk, bright red hair, and every other color possible, but right now its the longest its ever been. and I refuse to cut it anytime soon.

I can make some of the ugliest faces you've ever seen.

I hate hearing the sound of my own voice on voicemails and recordings. I sound 4 years old.

  11. OK... we are basically the same people minus the Forever 21 bit and the long hair fact. I am a Florida native that moved to AZ two weeks ago.

    I miss it already!

  12. My sister is the *exact* same way about sharks. She loves the movie "Jaws" and has shark slippers and t-shirts and PJ pants and calendars and all manner of stuff - but she refuses to go into the ocean because she's terrified of sharks...So silly. :)

  13. Oh Target...I love that place. I not to go too often just because I end up spending money on things I didn't know I needed. Have you seen last week's episode of New Girl!? I diiiieeeeed! I still need to watch this week's.

  14. I have a love of sharks too! So much so that my tattoo on my back is Japanese ( I studied Japanese) for shark. I get a lot of huhs? on that one. :) I have swam with them three times. Once in the open ocean and have even held one!

  15. some of these are so similar to my life also! #twins

    but twice a DAY at Target? What the? I mean, I get one a day every day, but why would you need to go back in one day? and so I'm guessing you wouldn't snorkel? What about after a few drinks? ;)

  16. I have definitely been to Target multiple times in one day. Love Harry Potter. Love New Girl. When do you get to go get Monster?

  17. Oh my god I am so jealous that you lives so close to Harry Potter land! It's on my bucket list of life. Bucket list of 2013? Harry Potter marathon weekend. I can't wait.

    Oh an I'm also jealous of your visual merchant job at Forever 21.
    That was my dream job. That's what my degree is in and it's so difficult to get into that field. Sigh
