about me part 2

Confession time- I am really bad at following through with things I start. Not with my business, and not with the things that really matter.. but the little things. Weston's photo a week meme, courtney's 31 days of truth, and stephanie's 100 things about me, pretty much all painting projects and most DIY projects, all photo themed challenges as well. Well I just ranted about how I don't have enough sleep and here I am 1:08 am and wiiiide awake. Let's tackle one of these bad boys and check it off the list.

From Stephanie's 100 things about me, here is part 2. For part 1, click here.

26. I am so white. I can't keep a good tan to save my life. I spent 5 months in peurto rico and was looking nice and brown after months of working at it by the pool and it was gone a week later. I am learning to embrace my ivory skin.

About me part 1

Stephanie from Polos, Pearls, and Pacifiers started this 100 things about me and it was too fun not to join in. She is such an awesome blogger you better go check her out! 

1. I was almost named Ashley! Like minutes away if I remember the story correctly but a baby next to me in the nursery was Ashley so they went with Lauren and I am glad they did.

2. Speaking of names I love mine and my sisters names. If we didnt have them I would probably name my daughters them.. Lauren, Leah, and Hannah. 

3. My hair has been every hair color known to man. black, brown, red, blonde, and even a shade of maroon. Red is my FAV but it never lasts long in my hair 

4. My first car was a rodeo, then a camaro, and now a pontiac. There are songs written about every car I've ever owned and I didnt even plan it that way. 

5. I got my eye brows waxed for the first time when I was 12. It was time and I am glad my mom realized that. I am a bush man. 

6. I also started shaving my legs when I was 9. Bush man remember..

7. I have had nail polish on my toes non stop since I was in elementary school. You will never see them naked. 

8. I was obsessed with baby dolls as a little girl, I had them in my room til I was 12. All I ever did was play mommy.

13. I have moved somewhere around 20 times in my life. I have lost count!

14. As soon as I took the pregnancy test with Ryan I knew it was a boy, his name was Ryan Douglas, I knew what he looked like and I knew I was going to have a c section. Weird.....

15. Just like Shawntae, I love pealing sunburns. 

16. I have never seen ET or the Goonies. Some people are really fascinated by this

17. Also that I can see myself having like 10 kids. For real.

18. I am still scared of the boogie man under my bed. I wont hang my arm or leg off the side and I still run and jump.

20. I do all sorts of things as a mom I never thought I would- hello candy!

21. I can flip through TV channels and tell you whats on every station even if I dont ever watch it

23. I try on 5 outfits before I can actually leave the house

24. I am not a pet person but I try I have had cats, dogs, fish, and a turtle. I hate it all.

25. I have always wanted an Americana themed family room and I finally do. I love it :)
