20 things you didn't know about me
- I google the end of movies while I am watching
them
- I am hilarious and cuddly and really friendly
when I have had a few drinks.
- I have only two pairs of heels. I am not a shoe
person
- I often speak out loud what I think Teddy is
thinking. In his ‘Teddy voice’.
- I am a scrooge. I prefer to save money than
spend it and I have successfully ‘trained’ a few people I know.
- As soon as I walk through the door I put on gym
gear even when I have no intentions of working out (95% of the time).
- I look for new ways to better myself all the
time. I don’t accept things as they are and often do my own research.
- My socks never match.
- After S gets up in the morning (usually before
me), I roll over to his side of the bed because it has ‘his’ warmth (I don’t
even know how to explain that).
- My
hands and feet swell after I eat carbs and when it is hot.
- When
I am nervous or upset, I can’t keep my hands still. S usually notices that
before I do.
- Sometimes
I see what people spend their money on and wonder why? Until I remember that we
all spend our money on the things WE like. Der.
- I
LOVE coffee. I am a coffee snob and I don’t care what people think of that.
- I
want babies and I don’t care if they come BEFORE marriage. I don’t care what
people think of that, either (and no, I am not trying for a baby. I want babies
but not just yet).
- I work in statistics. That is as exciting as it sounds...
- Following
on from the point above, if you knew me 10 years ago you would never have
thought I would be now in this career. In fact, even I sometimes wonder how I
did an economics degree and made it here.
- I
long for a nicely decorated home and a thriving garden. But I am too lazy to
action it. I always use the excuse that I’ll wait until I buy a house.
- I
don’t have a poker face. My expressions tell you exactly what I am thinking. I’ve
had a few people call me out on the dirty looks I give when I disapprove. I don't mean to do it and hardly realise I am doing it.
- I
am the only person in my whole family (extended included) to attend and finish
Uni.
- In
person I swear a lot.
Tell me; what don't I know about you?

ReplyDeleteI am not a clean and tidy person but I am realllllly trying to change. I want to be a neat freak even though I am a dirty sloth LOL

Haha, spending is good if the item is worth it. Being a scrooge isn't always the best. I also don't mean scrooge as in I avoid going out etc. I still have fun and see people and eat out, I am just very picky with what I buy and know how to save a dollar on things.
DeleteSwearing adds to a conversation! I am glad I am not the only one.
I tried to publish the comment from Name URL but I kept getting error msgs. Laura
ReplyDeleteI think because I took the post down for a moment.
DeleteI adore your hair in that photo. I was surprised to read you swear! I thought of you to be a well-mannered lady :-p
ReplyDeleteI'm an open scrooge - my fiancé and I aren't even giving each other presents this year! Something people don't know about me is my constant need for perfection and the amount of stress I place on myself. And that my OCD is out of hand: if I don't clean and disinfect the apartment daily I honestly believe something bad will happen. And what if we're broken in to? I can't have the robbers thinking I'm unclean and lazy (point of OCD getting out of hand proven right there).
Thanks! It was a good hair day lol.
DeleteNo, definitely not a well-mannered lady. I did grow up with 5 brothers after all! In saying that, I am when I first meet people but it doesn't take too long to show my true side :-) I am not crass though, just like to slip in a swear word here and there.
We aren't doing gifts either, though we are having dinner and drinks on Christmas night. I will happily splurge on a nice dinner etc, but otherwise I am a scrooge.
Ah, that sounds stressful. I clean the house once a week and tidy most days (put things away..). If someone is coming over I make sure it's clean though.
Hahahahhaha I do #9 too! I can't explain why either.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm also a coffee snob. Most people don't understand. But a good coffee can make my day.
Kx.
Yes, the difference between a good coffee and a bad coffee is huge for me. I also don't use sugar either as it alters the taste.
DeleteSAME!!!! Why waste good coffee with sugar?@!? Ahhh I love you
DeleteOh I totalllly get number 9. I do it too. I love spreading out to J's side and taking all his warmth.
ReplyDeleteActually....I identify with quite a few of these points hahaha. We would be great friends!
I think we should go out for a drink some time :-)
DeleteI talk Frankie's thoughts in my best 'Frankie' voice too! lol. Good to know i'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas my dear!
Seems there are a few people that have voices for their pets!
DeleteMerry Christmas to you, too.
