If you really knew me...

Some of my fave bloggers have opened up to their readers about themselves. I've really liked getting to know a little more about the person behind the blog especially my Amserdam gal Liz from explore.dream.discover. I thought I'd do the same and share a little bit about myself.

if you really knew me...

^ you'd know that I am in my thirties , 34 to be exact.

^ you'd know that I am never on time, anywhere. if i say i've left that means i'm barely getting dressed.

^you'd know that i love music and attending shows and festivals.

^you'd know that i talk to my older brother Richard every day during lunch and on my way to the gym.

^you'd know that I lived in Oak Harbor, WA. for 3 1/2 years.

^you'd know that i am very shy. shocker for those who do know me. I find it very hard to make new friends and meet new people.

^you'd know i hate public speaking. put me in a room full of strangers and i am a studdering fool.

^you'd know i "mother" my little brother and sister and really wish I had a closer relationship with them.

^you'd know i had a different take on kids, until my niece was born.

^you'd know my husband has been in the Navy for 9 years. So I am a military wife.

^you'd know I love to take pictures and really wish i could devote so much more time to photography and painting.

^you'd know I am my worst critic, I have struggled with my weight since birth.

^you'd know I run every day , except for Tues/Thurs I go to spin - which i love.

^you'd know I am the biggest smart a$$ , I have an answer for everything.

^ you'd know I am also a prankster- at work. I have 2 co-workers that don't know me but I empty out their stapler every chance I get. lol.

^you'd know i've been a blogger for a year now and i still haven't told my mother or friends about it. I am really shy and feel like they just wouldn't "get it."

^you'd know I am currently suffering from carpa tunnel. so my hands, wrists and forearms are in constant pain.

^you'd know even after being on Weight Watchers over 3 years ago , I still count my points.

^you'd know I have two cats and I had a sweet dog named Lucy who passed away 3 years ago. She was the love of my life. Her picture still sits on my bed side table and I often dream about her and even though 3 years have gone by it's still is a touchy subject. I have no doubt that if she was still here she would have been in every outfit pic.

If we were buddies, what would I know?  If you've already participated in this or plan to please share a link when you comment. I'd love to get to really know you.
