I was tagged by Nicole of The Marvelous Misadventures of a Foodie to do the “11 Things” post. This is my first tag, so I am so excited! First, you list 11 random things about yourself, then you answer questions picked out by the person who tagged you.
11 Random Things About Me:
1. I haven’t had a drink of alcohol in 21 months.
2. If it didn’t make me fat, I would eat mac’n'cheese or chicken and dumplings for every meal!
3. I’m totally addicted to caffeine. You’ll rarely see me without a No-Carb (the blue one) Rockstar or a cup of black coffee in hand (especially in the morning!)
4. I am SO not a morning person! I wish I could make myself be…I will reset my alarm to get 10 more minutes of sleep, no joke. I have issues! Does anyone know how to work on becoming a morning person??
5. My biggest pet peeve is people chewing with their mouths open. I will leave the room if I can.
6. I am totally OCD at work, but not at home.
7. I played violin from 5th to 12th grade, and was concertmistress of my high school and county orchestra my senior year.
8. I was a collegiate dancer at Purdue University, and went to NDA Nationals twice!
9. I have been known to get up at 2am to shave my legs because once my legs get too prickly, I can’t sleep! Once I shave, I fall back asleep like a baby.
10. I have been with Walgreens for 13.5 years–I started working for the company at 16 as a pharmacy cashier.
11. I once accidentally ate a dog treat….it looked just like an Oreo, ok?? I told my sister she buys really crappy cheap cookies, lol!

Sleep until at least 10am, have coffee and a nice healthy breakfast, watch the Colts play football, get a run or hike in, and have relaxing “me” time.
3. What is the coolest thing you did in the month of January?

I don’t really identify with any of the princesses, but when I was little, I always wanted to be “Gadget” from Chip and Dale’s Rescue Rangers. She was a badass
8. Do you prefer to plan things or be spontaneous?
Spontaneous. I actually hate planning things sometimes, because I change moods quickly, and sometimes really want to do something when I plan it, but then don’t feel like doing it at the time….I’d rather just decide at the last minute when I know I feel like doing something.

Purple roses and calla lillies
