me me me me me

I feel like life has been kind of more difficult than normal this last 9 months.  I feel in some ways I have lost myself... and I feel like I need to remember who I am...
so here are some facts about me

I love the color pink... so much so that I dream of painting my living room pink, I mean real  substantial pink and not wimpy I can't really tell if that is pink pink. (This is the one thing that I think may in fact run off suitors... so I am waiting).

I  drink diet a&w rootbeer and think it tastes normal.
I have a serious love affair with food and I think food network is porn for me.
I haven't put off anything "till I get a husband"...except painting my living room pink. and stuff that would keep me out of the temple... just sayin.
I love trimming bushes.
I hate cleaning up bush clippings.
The sound of nail clippers is the worst sound ever!
I sound like a valley girl when I talk.
I am old enough to have known what a valley girl is.
I am a terrible speller. Spell check has saved my reputation and prevented people from knowing that my vocabulary exceeds my spelling skills.
I don't understand texting words like LOL (I mean I know what that one is... but others confuse me).
I am coming up on my 18th anniversary at my salon. I didn't realize I had an artistic job until I had been working there for about 5 years.
I was reluctantly introduced to Jane Austen through the movie Sense and Sensibility.  I thought it looked boring and didn't watch it till I had nothing better to do. Thanks Aunt Billie for giving me the VHS for Christmas circa 1991. It literally changed my life.
I now feel that Jane Austen and I may have been separated at birth.
When #9 and I were in England, we both felt like Bath was our true home and I think that it was a time where I could possibly  get into all that reincarnation stuff.
I picked out a wedding reception location in Whales.
My sisters and I have very traditional english names.... ( I will tell you them in random order... this may be the only time you see their names here.... Lydia Mary Hannah Iris and Elizabeth).
I am vain about my name.
When I get married I want to play the song  Finally by CeCe Peniston check them out here. I am pretty sure it will sum it all up.
When I announced I was engaged last year on fb for April fool's, it may or may not have brought people to tears... I have decided never to be so cruel again.
Being single defines a lot of who I am.
I am seriously thinking about keeping my last name. FOREVER
I can be ocd about somethings and neglectful of others.
I look like a less pretty version of my little brother when I don't wear makeup.
I am meaner than I would like to admit out loud and a little less social than I used to be.
I am going to be sooooooo thin in my next life... with perfect skin and B cup boobies.
My favorite movie of all time is The Parent Trap (the original).
I absolutely love the temple. I love the peace and the spirit I feel when I am there. I still have a hard time making there every week... and I secretly wish the sessions were only 60 min long.
I know my body is dilly bar shaped and I wish it were a glorious Renaissance pear shape.
I am really talented with my toes.
I am the type of auntie who likes to buy love... shopping dinner and movies are my favorites.
I have favorite siblings and nieces and nephews... and it changes who they are ALL the time.
I painted my house yellow like the house from Summer Magic... "the yellow house in Buller Maine "
I like spending but I like saving too.
I secretly... or not so secretly love mohawks and tatoos and piercing on guys.... good thing the Prophet said no to the latter two.  I still like Mohawks unabashedly.
I used to hate animals and now I feel like Petcharoo has blessed my life so much, I like all animals better.

Well friends. I feel a little better... I mean what is more enjoyable than talking about yourself. I do hope that if you made it to the end of this long ol post of nothing... that you have learned a little something new about me.

I just wish I could be so interesting. When I saw the long post with no pictures I figured I wouldn't make it through most of it. And then there I was hooked until the end. I love you sister and you need to share some of that wittiness with the rest of us. Please and thank you!

Beth you are so unique. I love Hailey Mills too. Parent Trap and Summer Magic are way up there on my list of favorite movies. I had childhood crushes on both the guys (not the red-headed brother mind you)and couldn't wait to turn 16 because that's when the guys are supposed to notice you right?

Nice creative list.

I miss my B cups, and will wait in that line with you in the next life. This post is what awesome is made of! I will also wait in line with you for the hourglass awesomeness. I am shaped like a board with a belly. Fun times!
