if you really knew me

you'd know that...

This picture was taken the day after I found out I was pregnant this past summer

I've become a HUGE homebody over the past year and proudly own this change

I haven't cleaned my shower in a disgusting amount of time

I've kissed the Blarney Stone

I'd rather watch sports with the guys than gossip with the ladies

When I mop, I break out in a sweat b/c that's how out of shape I really am these days

I have an extremely unhealthy relationship with a family member of mine

I hate having attention on me. Even the slightest bit makes me uncomfortable

I despise talking on the phone

My college best friend/roommate's dad was a director on Star Trek, CSI and Charmed

One of my favorite things in life is a drunk Bryan

I have bad alleries and asthma

I could never be best friends with someone who doesn't use the eff word

I once had my belly button pierced

If you're a Californian I automatically feel close to you

Bryan always drives when we're in the car together

I had a thing for drowning at parties as a little girl and my dad jumped in many pools to save me

Decorating my house is my favorite hobby

I form friendships authentically and am uninterested in having a slew of peripheral friends

If I'm your friend, I care deeply for you and want all good things to come your way

I'm one of the least judgmental people you'll ever meet -- mostly because I don't care enough to judge

I have a (stereotypically) masculine way of thinking, communicating and handling situations

I bite my nails down to practically nothing

I love to color in coloring books

I went to high school with Lauren Conrad's husband

I like to be alone. "Me time" centers me

I don't make my bed

I like all of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme songs *hangs head in shame*

I can instantly cry when thinking about my grandma

I've never smoked a cigarette

I was once approached in Santa Monica by a Sony Pictures producer to read for a part in a movie playing Jennifer Lopez's little sister

I could spend every minute of the day outside

I love to watch tv. It's easily my favorite pastime (which contradicts the above statement entirely)

I, as in myself, was hit by a car

I was much more excited to be married to Bryan than I was for my wedding day

I'm in awe over how quickly 2 people (us!) can go through an entire roll of toilet paper

I love salt, so much so that it hinders my health

I don't fully think through or analyze big decisions. I make quick moves

I'm the messy one and Bryan is as neat as a pin

I never leave the house without any make up on

I'm totally self deprecating

I blow dry my hair about twice a month, if that. Air dry is where it's at!

I can't fly without someone telling me "ttp"

Old Blue Chair is my favorite song and the perfect depiction/metaphor of who I am, how I've lived and what I want out of my time here on earth

I almost named this blog Old Blue Chair :)

I challenge all of you moms, wives, caregivers, work-o-holics and loyal girlfriends to take some time to reflect on you. We often blog about everything under the sun except for our authentic selves.

Tell me:
Who are you in this moment in life? If I really knew YOU, what would I know?
