A crazy thing just happened. Chloƫ, a newlywed such as myself, who blogs over at
tryin' to throw my arms around the world gave me my very first blogger award! I feel so special.
10 things about me, in no particular order:
1) I love learning but I hate the work that comes with getting educated.
2) I've been married for three months and I love it! I also wish I had understood that when people told me that marriage would be hard, that they meant it! It's really really hard. But when it's good, it's so so good.
3) My husband and I don't get to wake up together often, but when we do, it's so nice. And I love to smack his butt when he finally gets out of bed.
4) I love makeup. I love to watch makeup tutorials and reviews. I love all the different kinds of makeup and all the different colors. I love to buy makeup. But I rarely wear makeup. Luckily, I'm a drugstore girl, so it's not too much money wasted.
5) I am in search of the perfect espadrille. I have been on this search since last spring. My boss currently owns two perfect pairs of espadrilles but I can't seem to find the ones I want when I shop.
6) I am also in search of the perfect denim skirt. This skirt has been around since last Mother's Day when my SIL wore a super cute skirt.
7) One of my favorite pastimes with my husband is laughing. Laughing together is a real sign that we're in the midst of a good streak. He's in a good mood so he says goofy stuff, and I'm in a good mood so I giggle at all of it. I love it.
8) I like my ex-boyfriend's parents better than I like my new in-laws. If I could pick any in-laws in the whole world, I would have picked my ex-boyfriend's parents. They were so wonderful that I could have called them "mom" and "dad." (And I am not the type to call just anyone those names.) But I'm SO glad they're not my in-laws because my husband is the perfect husband for me.
9) I got all this sexy lingerie at a shower before my wedding...and I hardly ever wear it. Even on my honeymoon! Because, what was I supposed to do? Oh, wait, let me put on a lacy nightie so you can take it right off!
10) I love trivia! Jeopardy. Cash Cab. Trivial Pursuit. I like to think it keeps my brain fresh. My husband and I watch Jeopardy together almost every night and, yes, we answer out loud. We're pretty good. Even when we're clueless, though, our random guesses are sometimes spot on.
Here is the part where I award people. So, grab your award and write 10 things about yourself!
This blog is really new, so I don't know a whole bunch of gals yet. But there are a few who I really like so far.
