Life has been hard. Honestly the last few months have been some of the hardest transitions for me in my life with one thing after another falling apart and challenging me, and I really haven’t lived up to any of the challenges. I have been depressed, which I really hate admitting, uninspiried, antisocial and pretty much just a mess. But i’m working on it, i’m trying to feel better and trying to pull my life back together and thats really all I can do at this point. If you are still with me, thanks for sticking it out and I hope things will improve because I feel like they will.

I’ve gained some perspective while taking my time out and hiding from life and I think I know where I want things to go and how to make my life happen and change the way I need it to. One of the first steps for me in gaining back myself though and sharing that self with the rest of the world is accepting that I am not necessarily the same person I was two years ago, let alone even two months ago. In hope of getting to know myself a bit better again and to ofcourse let you get to know me again I decided to give myself a bit of a kick in the ass and do a blog challenge for the next 30 days. I will still be posting about shopping and showing some outfits since i’ve finally started wearing real clothes again but hopefully you guys will enjoy some more personal posts too! So here we go!

30 Day Blogger Challenge/Day 1

A Recent Photo Of You & 15 Interesting Facts About Yourself

This photo was taken at the hospital on September 10th. My best friend had given birth to this beautiful baby girl on September 9th and I can already admit I am completely in love with her and am a very proud “Auntie”! This little lady is going to be spoiled rotten and fabulous

15 Interesting Facts About Me

1. While most people think I am an only child I have a Big Brother who is a good 25 years older than me. We have the same Dad but different Moms and he is in reality only a few years younger than my Mom.  My brother is a Rock Star, literally a musician,, and one of  the kindest people I know.

2. I think cantalope is the most disgusting food in the world. Really, the thought of it makes me want to puke.

3. Contrary popular belief that I have a big mouth, I actually have a pretty small one. I also have itty bitty teeth and the space is so small I use a child size toothbrush, my current one has unicorns on it. 

4. When I was little my Dad collected clown artwork and had so much of it an entire room of our house was dedicated to it. I slept in that room once while mine was being painted and I’ve been terrified of clowns ever since.

5. The first piece of clothing I can remember picking out myself and wearing till it feel apart was a hot pink 90210 Sweatshirt. It had Dylan (Luke Perry) on the front of it and I sported a brand new perm in my hair around the time I bought it. I was only 10 then at most but I knew I was the shit. lol

6. My favorite color is Orange (and no it has nothing to do with Boise State University or Football) I just really love orange, maybe because of my orange hair.

7. When I was 16/17 I went though a bit of a “punk rock” phase and wanted to dye my hair black with hot pink streaks. I bought all the dye but my Mom put her foot down. Strangely I’ve found myself strongly considering going pink now at this point in my life.

8. The first CD’s I remember owning were Salt N Pepa “Very Necessary” and Alanis Morrisette “Jagged Little Pill”. These musical influences probably explain alot of my angry girl tendencies and filthy mouth. I still own and listen to both of these albums.

9. I started dating when I was 12 and the longest I have ever been single since then was for 6 months before my senior year when I met my ex husband. I guess I just like being attached, whether that is a good or bad thing I’m not sure.

10. I can be a total homebody and always have been. I like things to take place on my own turf and I get anxiety when staying in other people’s homes.

11. I have never broken a bone, had a surgery, or been taking to the emergency room. The worst thing that has ever happened to me physically was when I sliced my thumb open while making a sandwhich and recieved 5 stitches at my doctors office. I live dangerously.

12. I couldn’t save money if my life depended on it. I have never been able to maintain a savings account. I work hard for the money but I love to spend it.

13. I fell completely in love with Nightrider the day I met her. If she had asked me 2 hours into our date to run away with her to Canada I would have said “Your Car or Mine?”

14. Babies, aside from the one in the photo above (she is the exception), freak me out! I get really stressed out, anxious and high strung when in the presence of anyone under the age of two. This is why I am so glad I got to become a bonus mom to 9 and 10 year olds when Nightrider and the boys moved in rather then have babies.

15. I am a complete perfectionist about everything and whenever I fall short I beat myself up to the point of tears. This is something I am working on but its a constant battle for me.

What are some interesting facts about you?
