In Case You Didn't know... ♥

Hello Friends! Happy hump day! ♥

We are halfway to Friday and that's something to smile about.  It's a gray and overcast day here and we are expecting a monsoon of rain tonight.  It will be good sleeping weather. Do you ever wake up in the morning and think about how nice it will be to get back into bed later? I do...all the time! And especially tonight because it will be raining which will make the warm bed extra cozy!  I cannot wait. But I digress...♥

I thought I'd have some fun today and share some not very important facts about me.  

Every word is true :) 

In case you didn't know... 

#1. I absolutely hate clothes shopping.  I would rather go to a Home Goods or Hobby Lobby any day rather than a clothing store.  I hate trying things on (because nothing ever fits) and once I get home, I always have regret.  "What was I thinking?" is usually my response to whatever it is I purchased.  It's an ongoing battle. I have the same issue with shoes! Maybe I'm shopping in the wrong places.  Where do you all buy your clothes?

#2. I eat a small cup of dry cereal before I go to bed every night.  Yup. Every night.  It's a small cup, but I do it.  Sometimes I add a few chocolate chips into the mix, just for a bit of sweetness. My body needs it to sleep through the night.  The cereal varies.  This week it's Cheerios.  Sometimes it's some of Rob's healthy stuff like Total or Grape Nuts (which is like eating gravel, but when you mix in the chocolate chips its actually tasty).  Side note about Rob - he's very health conscious.  Never would he touch a Pop Tart or Twinkie.  He works out every morning before work at an un-Godly hour and is the most discipled person I've ever met when it comes to dessert.  I say this because I most certainly am not that.  If I have cottage cheese or half an avocado at breakfast, I feel like I'm a champion.  Like I'm winning at life.  It doesn't last though, because come 10 pm out comes the cereal and chocolate chips.

#3. I love the ocean.  I love to look at, smell it, sit by it, walk along it.  I would do that all day every day. It's peaceful, serine, and wonderful.  But you will never see me swimming in it. I will put my feet in.  Maybe on a hot day go in as far as my shin, never above the knee.  I never learned to swim so I have an intense fear of deep water.  As a kid, I never loved getting dunked under water either, so I hate getting my face and head wet.  I'll take a shallow wading pool or a lazy river sure, but that's about as far as I go.  I have no desire to ever snorkel, scuba dive, or worse - parasail!  I mean, that's a whole other fear, but nope - I'll never do those things. Ever.  Watching the sunset on the beach though.... perfection.

#4. A grilled cheese sandwich is my favorite thing to eat.  I'd choose it over a steak dinner. If you want to win me over, invite me over for grilled cheese sandwiches.  Bonus if you serve tomato soup on the side.  Just thinking about that makes me happy. Sitting by the fire at a Panera Bread, with a grilled cheese and a bowl of tomato soup.  I've spent many an afternoon doing that. Let's go!

#5.  I love Hallmark movies and want to live in a Hallmark world (who doesn't?), I'm left-handed, I wear contact lens and wear readers over them because I haven't made the leap to bifocals yet, I color my hair (myself) every 5 weeks to cover the grays and have no intention of ever stopping. If it were socially acceptable, I would wear my slippers everywhere.  I'm obsessed with all things British (hence my LOVE for Downton Abbey and everything on PBS), I love antiques, anything from the 1950's (especially I Love Lucy, which you probably already know :), carnations are my favorite flower, I would die without coffee, I love be home, hate large crowds, love game shows, documentaries, and reading books - especially thrillers. I adore twinkle lights, Christmas, fireworks, vanilla cake with vanilla frosting, I never leave home without makeup, love Alfred Hitchcock films, flowered wallpaper (can we bring that back please!), bunnies🐇, Peanuts (the Charlie Brown kind), New Hampshire trips, and Marvel movies (yes, that is true!!). I hate driving at night, am a terrible parker (my family can attest to that for sure), have bad habit of biting my nails, never have a lip balm out of reach, and really hate it when people lean on their horn the millisecond the light turns green.  What is your rush?! 

I think that's enough info about me!! If you didn't already me, you do now.  

Now tell me some things about you so we can be even :) 

Have a wonderful evening friends! ♥

We are having breakfast dinner tonight - eggs and pancakes.  Another thing I love...in case you didn't know... 

Stay cozy! Byeee! xx
