Eleven fun facts about me:

Sidenote: I'm not sure why but I have the hardest time coming up with answers to this question. In school 90% of my professors required us to go around the room and say an interesting fact about yourself on the first day of class. I was always the girl that couldn't think of anything and would spit out something like I have a Basset Hound.  Not so interesting..

1. I LOVE music. I update my Ipod almost every other day. I listen to music while I'm driving, while I'm getting ready, when I'm blogging.. just anywhere and everywhere. Music can be an immediate mood changer. I'm a big country music fan but also love beach music, oldies, and even a little rap! (not much rap, mainly songs that remind me of high school)

2. Going along with music, I also love to dance. Growing up I took about 12 years of dance lessons. I tried everything from point to clogging. Towards the end I began focusing on ballet and truly love it. College was the end of my dance lessons but the beginning of something else.. shagging! This is most definitely a Carolina thing. NOTHING makes me happier than a sunny day, a sundress, beach music and a shag dance partner!

3. I'm a NC Teaching Fellow

4. I love Paula Deen and hate all the bad publicity she has been getting lately!

5. I started blogging almost a year ago as an outlet to post about the random thoughts I had during the day. I don't have the most interesting life so I didn't expect to ever have very many, if any, followers. Knowing I now have over 150 followers warms my heart(:

6. I'm a morning person. I enjoy waking up early, pouring a cup of coffee and then having an hour completely by myself to blog, read or watch a morning show. That is my me time.

7. My mom is originally from Alabama. Growing up I had the opportunity to visit AL often, instilling in me a love for the state. Roll Tide!

8. I prefer to go shopping by myself rather than with friends.

9. I talked to Scotty McCreery on the phone once! I'm a huge fan of that cutie from Gardner!

10. I think cleaning and organizing can be fun. Weird I know.

11. I hate saying "no" to people. I don't want to come across rude or as a mean person so saying no is rather hard. This gets me in trouble sometimes, for example.. when two friends ask me to do something, or when said boy wont stop texting me because I agreed to one dinner in fear of hurting his feelings. problem!
