25 Things About Me That You May Not Know

I have neglected my blog this year and so i thought i would do a light hearted post with some things that you may not know about me. I have so many thoughts and things that i want to write about, but when i put pen to paper (or fingertip to keys) i either lose the thoughts i want to convey or i worry about if what i am writing will offend, annoy or hurt someone. I know I shouldnt worry about that because these thoughts are MINE but as a people pleaser by nature, its always in the back of my mind. So today I will keep it somewhat light and share some things about myself that you may or may not know about me. Enjoy.... or dont..... its ok either way. :)

1 - I am seriously addicted to hand cream, brushing my teeth and journals/notebooks of any kind. Seriously! I dont even know how many journals i have and they are all for different things - i cant write in just one about everything. 

2 - I'm pretty sure i have a case of mild OCD.

3 - I am often sarcastic which can sometimes cause problems when people don't have a sense of humor.

4 - I struggle with hormone issues and food intolerance's which make it very hard to lose weight which in turn makes me feel very insecure and self conscious about my appearance.

5 - In high school, i was very shy and insecure. 

6 - I am still shy and sometimes insecure - and it can often come across that i am snobby or bitchy - but its not. I am most likely having anxiety if there are lots of people or i just dont know what to say. Im also not good with small talk.

7 - I could sit on the beach all day every day.... If you dont know this about me then you must be living under a rock. haha

8 - I love to take pictures and i am pretty sure I have at least one picture of everyone i have ever met.


9 - If i had never met Brent, i would definetly be married to Adam Levine.... What? It could totally happen. Stop laughing.

10 - I can tell if anything has been moved in my house - even an inch. Its annoying... and why i think I have mild OCD.

11 - I don't like loud noises of any kind. If you ever read the book, The Highly Sensitive Person, you would totally get it

12 - I don't like being hot....... bury me with an air conditioner! I have a fan blowing in my room all year, even in the winter. 

13 - Pretty sure i lived somewhere tropical in another life. I feel at peace when im surrounded by blue water, palm trees and sunshine. Its like therapy for me.

14 - I love doing laundry - its kind of like shopping... New things every few days to put into your closet.

15 - Speaking of shopping, i love to shop! Well mostly just for clothes! Clothes make me feel good about myself and help with my self esteem.

16 - When I was 32 years old, my first husband passed away due do complications from a heart bacteria, which ended up causing a stroke due to Dr error. Yes, there was a lawsuit.... that is a whole other blog post.

17 - I had a second child at 39 years old - my Dr called it a geriatric pregnancy because of my age. Lovely!

18  - Being pregnant is my very least favorite thing to do... ever... Yes the outcome is a miracle when you hold your baby in your arms but the 9 months leading up to it is pure torture.....I dont trust happy, pregnant people. haha 

19 -  Both of my husbands I met at a bar - not the same bar - and of course 9 years apart - but at the bar,none the less

20 - I met my husband and soul mate, Brent, on July 19, 2003 - my wedding anniversary with my first husband, Rene - a year after he had passed away. Coincidence? I don't think so.

21 - I want to walk the Camino Santiago with Brent one day. I think it would be great therapy and an amazing adventure.

22 - Speaking of therapy - i highly recommend it. I think everyone could use a good cry once in awhile and to get the shit out that they have been holding inside for so long. 

23 - I enjoy a good reality tv show once in awhile. Dont judge - i bet you do too.

24 - I want to write a book - cant decide if it will be fiction or non fiction but one of my dreams is to write one. - stay tuned

25 - La Casa resort is my happy place!! I plan to have a cottage there one day where my family can come to stay and relax.
