But in other news...

I HAVE A DATE!!!!!!!!! Anthony and I can actually start out countdown to our wedding!!! More news and details to come....

:)

I'm kreativ.

Thanks for the tagging, Schmames. It's nice to have a little blogging recognition every now and then, right?  Well... in case you were dying to know more about me, this is your lucky day. Here are ten more, semi- random facts about me.

(Side note: kreativ? really? That spelling bothers me.)

1. My birth parents named me Brooke Meredithe, and my adoptive parents named me Elizabeth Anne. I wouldn't mind using Meredithe as a first/middle name for one of my future kids. I think it's a really pretty name.

2. I got the name "Liz Lemon" from the main character of "30 Rock." My friend Kara changed my facebook name to "Liz Lemon" one summer and I left it up for a long time.  Some people still call me "Lemon." There were even a few people that thought that it was my real last name for a while.

3. I went to Nairobi in 2007 and I really want to go back. 

4. I've chewed sweet mint Orbit gum for about four years, or more??

5. I'm a doodler. I constantly doodle during class. It's embarrassing when the teacher notices, too.

6. I like the left side of my face the best. It's probably because I like my left teeth better. 

7. I love hands. They're so pretty. I could never date someone if I didn't like their hands. Anthony has nice hands. These are simple sentences.

8. I also hate showering. I think it's because I hate having to blow dry my hair. I like being clean... I just HATE being soaking wet and having to dry my hair, dry off, find clothes, blah blah blah. It's so annoying. If I wouldn't stink and/or have nasty hair, I'd just spray some perfume and be on my way. But I don't. So don't judge me. 

(Have you ever seen "Arrested Development?" It's hilarious. And my shower hatred reminded me of one of the characters.)

9. I'm terrified of going blind because I'm scared that I wont' be able to read.

10. When I was really, really young (probably six or seven), I had an "emergency bag," just in case of a fire/tornado/anything. It was right next to my bed. I used to plan out what I would try and save before running out of the house. 

Okay, now I'm supposed to tag ten more people. Some people have already been tagged, so I'm going to leave them out. All of these blogs have some creative element that I love. There are tons of blogs that I love and read daily, but these ten stuck out to me for this particular "award."

Okay, well I'll be back to commenting on blogs and all that jazz tonight, but today is Sunday, and Sunday is the only day that I get to spend with Anthony; therefore, I am peacin' out!

But before I go... have some laughs:


This is why Harry Potter is better than Twilight.

Cheers :)

Thank you, thank you very much.

I feel famous.

Mandy passed this award along to me, and I am super flattered! I know it's just a picture, and for anyone who is not a blogger, this probably seems pretty stupid. But I was so excited to get this! Haha :)
And also, her blog is pretty awesome, especially if you are a nerd. ;)

I am supposed to tell you seven random things about me. I don't really know what constitutes as random, since I talk about random crap all of the time. Here goes nothing:

1. I could live off of Monster energy drinks and sugar free chocolate pudding if it had enough nutrients in them to keep me alive. I'll do almost anything for either of these. I'm kinda addicted to caffeine, thanks to Monster/Red Bull, but I haven't had one in two days!! I'm so proud. 

2. I want to play every instrument in the world. Every time I listen to a band, I'm like, "Dude, I want to play the drums!" And then as I listen to the song a little more, I'm like, "Dude, I want to sing!" So on and so forth. I play the violin, but I would kill to be able to sing, play the piano, guitar, ukulele, mandolin, harp... etc.

3. If I think about something enough, I have to do it. For instance, if I let the thought enter my mind that my hair is looking sort of dull, I will have to buy a box of color or book an appointment. Fortunately, I'm not picky with my hair, so it's never that expensive.  If I suddenly think about antiquing and have that urge to go look around, I have to go on my next day off. It's pretty ridiculous. It's funny, sometimes, but most of the time it's just annoying because I am bothered until it happens. (It's helpful when it's about cleaning my house or doing laundry, though.) People make fun of me for this, but I'm trying to embrace it.

4. I have an electric violin. She's a beauty, but I don't ever play her. If anyone needs an electric violinist, I'm your girl. Maybe. 

5. This is one of my favorite songs. Judge away. I can sing every word. (I'd like to think that people can't peg me for a certain genre of music. I like a huge range of music.)

6. I love Star Trek. I have 20+ Next Generation collectible plates and I am proud. I've tried giving them away numerous times, but nobody seems to want them... I am now attached and don't want to get rid of them. I just haven't found a place to put them, yet. 

7. I hate to drive, unless I'm upset. 

And there you have it. I've got some heavier topics on my mind right now, but I will save those for the weekend, I think. Tonight/tomorrow will be spent celebrating Dave's birthday. Whoopee! He is an old man.

Anyway, thanks for reading-- I hope these kinds of posts aren't too obnoxious. AND THANK YOU, MANDY!

Cheers :)
