25 things about me

I feel like I've been extremely productive tonight so why not do a list of 25 things about me?

1. I.LOVE tons of ice in my drinks- usually a ratio of 3/1 (ice/drink).
2. I have a 5 year old dog who literally rules my world. She's a gordon setter mix and is so smart and sassy it's unreal. I've taught her to whisper, catch, play with frisbees, sit, lay down, crawl, come, speak, howl, the list goes on. She's a mess but I wouldn't change her for the world.
3. I have a nephew who also rules my world. He's 10 months old and I can't imagine my life without him. I've never wanted kids and wasn't sure how I'd feel about my little sister having a baby but boy was I wrong. I would lay my life down in a second for that little rascal.
4. I'm living in Nashville for 3 months for work and it's weird how similar it is to Louisville, yet it feels like a thousand miles away (it's only 2.5 hours away fyi).
5. The only place I sing freely is in my car. You'd think I was on crack if you drove next to me- I really belt it out. I am completely tone deaf so I don't dare sing anywhere else.
6. I danced for 15 years of my life and miss it terribly.
7. I also coached dance for 2 years and took my middle school team to Nationals (which we won both times) about 3 years ago- it was a great experience but it was more trouble and time consuming than I thought it would be.
8. I just moved back in with my mom (well, I moved in then 2 days later moved to Nashville for 3 months) and I am dreading when I go back home and have to live there for a bit. I'm trying to save money to help pay off some debt.
9. I am a workaholic. I work hard and a lot but I feel like it will be worth it in the long run.
10. My grandpa passed away last Easter and it was the first family member that I've been close to and lost. So, this Easter was a bit difficult but I know that he is in a better place.
11. I broke my arm on my birthday when I turned 11 and each year since have been terrified that something bad will happen on my birthday (it's may 2 by the way)
12. I HATE TEXT MESSAGING. HATE IT. Just call me. Actually, I don't really like talking on the phone either. I'd rather have a face to face :)
13. I love reality tv. Seriously, could spend hours watching TV
14. I hate working out but am slowly starting to get back into it.
15. I don't sleep in "late" but I hate mornings. Waking up is so difficult for me. My body naturally wants to stay awake super late and wake up around 8/9 but my job doesn't allow that. I try to get in bed by 10 and wake up around 6/630 every day (except weekends- anything goes there).
16. That being said, I am a horrible sleeper. Like, clinically horrible. I've done sleep studies, taken all the sleep meds, teas, exercise, hot baths, warm milk, no lights, no computers, no tv's, etc. NOTHING helps me. I have to run myself ragged throughout the day and even then, I still can't fall asleep at night. GAH!
17. I love reading! Books, Blogs, Magazines, Articles, Journals, anything! You put it in front of me, I'll read it..
18. My vision at night is AWFUL. I have astigmatism in one eye and the other doesn't have perfect vision so at night it all jumbles up and I drive like a grandma. I have glasses but I'm not supposed to wear them "all the time". Whatever that means.
19. I have a freckle on the tip of my nose- people mistake it for dirt ALL THE TIME. I'm 26.9 years old- do you really think I have dirt on the tip of my nose?
20. I am single but am really ready to settle down and date. Mr. Right, where are you?
21. I want to ride horses. I have a secret obsession for them. Maybe this can be a goal next year? Learn how to ride horses?
22. I've just watched 4 back to back episodes of Bad Girls Club and am kind of embarrassed about it. Remember #13? See? I told you.
23. My washer is making INSANE noises in my apartment right now and it's scaring me kind of.
24. People in Nashville say weird things. Case in point: "Buggy" for a grocery cart. "Meat n Three" for a restaurant that serves one meat with three sides- why don't you just say "restaurant"? Finally, "might to could," as in, "you might to could have gone to the store."  Why don't you just say, "you could have gone to the store," ????
25. I have had a sinus infection/cold/allergies that hasn't gone away for about 2 weeks now. Maybe I'll go to the doctor this week... maybe.
