11 Random Facts About Myself

1.) I use to collect keychains.

2.) Now I collect e-books that I seriously doubt I’ll ever get the chance to read them all because I get to review so many books a month for free for my blog in exchange for blog posts.

3.) I forgot how much I loved wearing cowboy boots until I broke down and bought a pair.

4.) I’m always amazed by how much I get done in a day, but yet, when you look at my house you can’t tell just how much because there is ALWAYS something that still needs to be done when my head hits the pillow.

5.) I love learning new things, and honestly wish there were more hours in a day so I could learn more.

6.) I don’t get the chance to REALLY use the restroom until 2AM in the morning when EVERYONE in the house is asleep.

7.) In a group like setting, I’d rather be the one found in a corner just watching everyone. Unless, I’m the one who’s suppose to be in charge of everything then I have no problem being front and center.

8.) Yet, one on one, I’m talk with you all day long.

9.) I love to be praised for things I’ve done right in a public like fashion. It makes me more inclined to do even more to make your life better when I get that.

10.) My favorite season is fall, and I’m super stoked that we are headed into that season very soon!

11.) I feel super honored to have you on my site, and I truly do want to get know you!!
