¡Happy Belated Cinco de Mayo!

We “celebrated” ours with lots of yummy Mexican food.  A tasty margarita happened as well.

Another exciting happening from yesterday (other than an excessive amount of guac) was getting nominated for The Versatile Blogger Award by Melissa. It made my day! Thanks, Melissa.

7 Random Things About Me

1. I’m a morning person. I never used to be, but I’m all about enjoying the mornings these days. The getting up part is horrible, but after that I absolutely love the peace and quiet. The only problem is sometimes I don’t go to bed early enough, so I have to pretend to be a morning person, which is exactly what’s going on this morning. I might have to break my no-caffeine rule to get through today. Eeeee.

2. I like to cut my own hair. I basically only do this when it’s long because it’s easier. Plus, my hair is curlyish/wavy, so it’s hard to tell if it’s not 100% perfect. I just enjoy doing it. And it’s a free haircut. Maybe I should take up cosmetology.

3. Plain milkshakes are my favorite. I’m all about straight-up vanilla milkshakes or maybe chocolate. I usually prefer them over crazy candy-filled shakes. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I just like the classics.

4. I make jewelry. I used to make hemp necklaces all the time, but the past year I’ve made a lot of earrings and necklaces for myself. It all started because I hate how expensive jewelry is, but I feel crafty enough to make decent-looking jewelry. Therefore, I make what I want. I haven’t done it in awhile though. Guess I’m losing touch with my crafty side.

5. I basically met Matt at my sister’s wedding. We worked together in college (I was even his boss for one year), but we didn’t talk until my sister’s wedding. Matt was friends with my brother-in-law, John, beforehand, hence him being at the wedding. It all started on the dance floor when I showed him my ridiculous awesome dance moves on the floor; I think he was hooked from there.

6. I’m afraid of commitment into the form of decorating. I don’t like blank walls in the apartment, but I don’t like putting up pictures because I like rearranging and changing things so often. I know I’ll just want to change it right away.

7. I really want to try Crossfit. I’m always hearing awesome things about it, and it seems so awesome. My workouts usually revolve around cardio, so the world of weight lifting really intrigues me.
