they like me...they REALLY like me!!

i was reading courtney's blog this morning...and saw this...


before i get all big-headed and go on about how fantastical i am...i want to thank courtney for thinking of little ole me!

now rush on over to her blog third time's a charm and tell her how fantastical she is (and wish her good luck in her half marathon training!) and make sure to take a peek at her gorgeous wedding photo's! 


since someone other than my mom thinks i'm so lovely...i need to tell you 7 random factoids about myself.

1 - when i was pregnant, i gained almost 60 pounds.
you know how some people say that pregnant women have a 'glow' about them?
yea, not me.
i was fat. and uncomfortable. and fat.
no, there isn't twins in there. just a lot of mcdonald's chicken nuggets and chocolate chip cookies....

2 - the hubs grew up on a farm in michigan and moved to illinois after ending a 4 year stint in the us marine corps. he didn't know a sole...aside from his sister who already lived here.
i think it's pretty darn cool that he moved to a new city/state and not knowing anyone.

3 - when i was little (say 7-ish years old) i was in the hospital for almost a week for herpangina.
no, it isn't a venereal disease...pervs.
in short, it's canker sores that travel down your bronchial tubes. super painful.

4 - i haven't talked to my dad in almost 3 years and have no intentions to talk/see him anytime soon.

5 - i have a 16 year old brother. my mom remarried when i was 13 and had my brother the day after my 14th birthday. 
he is already almost a foot taller than me and weighs about 50lbs less than i do.
skinny teenager bastard.

6 - i like french fries, baked potatoes, and hashbrowns....but HATE mashed potatoes. H.A.T.E.

7 - i haven't been on a vacation since my honeymoon in march of 2006.
at least twice a week, i plan a fake vacation. like pricing out hotels, flights, etc.
i'm really just a loser who is desperate for a vacation without the boy. and maybe even without the hubs...that would be heaven. 


and that is all you need to know about me...for now at least....

i guess with these blogger awards, you have to pass the torch to other fantabulous ladies.

  4. Congrats on the award! I used to loathe mashed potatoes as well. I think it's the mushy texture. I have never heard of herpangina, but it sounds horrible!
