It's my birthday too, yeah

{for even more goose bump points, name that band!}

In honor of yours truly's big Three-Five... I've decided to share with you 35 things you might not know about me. Jeesh. Is that possible?! I am like a tell-all book.

Well, let's try it.

1) My favorite "flavor" of lotion is Cocoa Butter. Hands down.
2) My middle name is Leigh
3) I have one angel baby in heaven {^i^ - 2.19.03}
4) The first car I owned was a red Ford Festiva {aka the roller-skate}
5) My favorite color is yellow.
6) I am left handed, but I throw with my right.
7) I throw worse than a girl.
8) I throw like an alien.
9) I was obsessed with pink eyeshadow and teal eyeliner in high school. {in the early 90s}
10) My favorite Christmas present from a friend was a gold ring - freshman year. I haven't seen my friend since shortly after, but we are friends on Facebook. I wonder if she even remembers the gift!?!
11) I hate the smell of newspaper ink.
12) I can't stand touching newspaper paper.
13) I am a great dancer {so I tell myself}
14) I lied.
15) More specifically, when I went to go see a live performance of the Rocky Horror Picture Show in high school with friends, and they asked for all of the "virgins" {people who haven't been to a live show before} to go on stage, I pretended that I had, so I wouldn't be forced to go to the front of the theater.
16) I can do a mean Time Warp dance.
17) I am addicted to Beverly Hills 90210 - the original. Still.
18) I really like Famous Amos Chocolate Chip cookies.
19) Drink of choice?! Dr. Pepper.
20) Worms fascinate me.
21) So do scorpions.
22) I ♥ Old Navy.
23) I love Nancy Drew books. And read them over and over again.
24) I hate doing the dishes.
25) I love a warm, FLUFFY down comforter, straight from the dryer.
26) My maiden name is Polish and means "Angel."
27) I have a mad, mad, mad crush on Hobby Lobby.
28) I want to create bulletin boards for teachers. I'd do it for free.
29) I wear "Secret" deodorant.
30) The name of my dogs growing up were Beau and Nikki.
31) I was born in the same hospital as my dad.
32) My mom was 19 when she had me.

33) 33 is my favorite number. For reals.
34) I am a total dog person {but secretly think I *could* like a cat}.
35) In high school, I won 2nd place in Nationals for an individual drill team routine. As in 2nd best in the country. I love to spin {fake, wooden} rifles. That was was almost 19 years ago. Lordy.


That's it - 35 random things about me.
Now... as we all know, it can never, ever be all about me. Instead, today we celebrated Nic's 5th birthday! We had over 40 people over - great friends and wonderful family. They all helped make the day super special!


Nic and I are blessed.
