"About me"

mandysmear · May 2012

I never brush my hair either.
I also collect mugs. Recently the starbucks ones with cities on them. I like when people give them to me, but I prefer to get them myself. I only want mugs of places I've been.

Oh man, the worst I ever had to pee was when I was drunk off my ass and stuck on the train in downtown Minneapolis. When I finally got to pee my entire body was hurting and my back hurt for like a half hour. It's a miracle I didn't piss myself.

Divine, I can't go more than a couple of days without shaving my legs. My hair is dark and ugly and it's so thick that it ITCHES after like, three days.

I wear pre-wrap as a headband when I am working out. The more obnoxiously neon, the better.

[QUOTE]<strong>I like cake, but usually leave a pile of frosting on my plate</strong>. H asks me why I bother. Bubbs - I'm doing well. Starting to get some energy back. I haven't taken a nap mid-day since Saturday. And I took the dog for a walk yesterday (for like 30 minutes - but it felt like a major accomplishment). Edit for clarity.
Posted by Loopyseven[/QUOTE]

I am the exact opposite. 90% percent of my enjoyment of cake comes from the frosting. I think I could eat cream cheese frosted anything....or chocolate frosting, mmmm.

I have an obssession about eveness but only about certain things. Like I can't stand if I don't own an equal number of dinner plates versus cake plates. If one breaks, then I want to get a whole new set so everything will be equal again. Or if I don't own the same number of dinner and salad forks. The blanket on my bed also drives me nuts if it is not hanging equally on both sides.

Good! I love pretty paper too, just dont' understand not using it!

I also make my own gift tags from old Christmas cards, scrapbooking paper, whatever I can find. :)

[QUOTE]I'm overly obsessed with fresh breath and dental hygiene and can't stand when others don't do the same. You just had onion with a side of garlic for lunch? Why don't you pop in some gum to freshen up a bit? (I brush and floss after lunch at work... I'm cray cray). I love heels and am obsessed with them but I can't walk in them so I appreciate them from afar.
Posted by lbarr088[/QUOTE]

This is me, too.

Also, the worst offender of bad breath in the world, hands down, is my boss. The man starts talking six feet away from you and it's like, what's that I smell? Did someone have shiiit-filled donuts for breakfast and a shiiit sandwich for lunch?

RupertPenny · May 2012

Yeah, I go weeks without shaving my legs too. But I still wear dresses and skirts everyday. Oops.

[QUOTE]I could never match my Christmas paper with the tree. I love random knicknack ornaments too much.
Posted by midgetthemighty[/QUOTE]

I am the same way. Well, this grinch only had her first tree this year. It was a fake black one BTW. But, my plan is too always have my randoms up and then just switch out a different colour of ball. (cheap ones) This year it was black, pink and purple balls. My cat stole most of them and broke them. So, I'll choose a different colour this year. But, my random guys will still be on there.

I believe that every home should have one tacky item, in turn it makes it stylish. Mine is a brassy reindeer. His name is guisseppe. He started out as a christmas gag thing. And now we love him. So he's permanently perched on a ledge in our living room.

Loopyseven · May 2012

Last year I put up 3 Christmas trees - two with themes, 1 with the random childhood/vacation ornament collection (which I guess is kind of a theme in and of itself). I am collecting ornaments for tree #4.

This what I did for years when I played basketball. It's way better than a headband.

ahhhitsshannyn · May 2012

I hate Christmas trees that look like they were thrown up on by Rudolph. I love color coordinated decorations only.

I put my hair up when I eat, but it's normally down... unbrushed.

I burst out of my clothes the second I get home, and straight into PJs. I don't get how people would like to wear jeans in their own home! This may become a problem when I am a SAHW because I just love PJs so much.

ErinG93 · May 2012

Growing up we always had two trees. One tree was the 'pretty' tree with matched ornaments, themed, etc. The other tree was all the decorations my sister and I made, collectables, etc. It was fun and someday when I have room I'll do two trees too.

I don't really like cards. I mean if I throw it away I look like an asss and if I keep it I will never look at them again. What's the point. I will re-read the cards FI gives me though.

MyUserName1 · May 2012

I love wearing socks and bras, hate wearing flip flops, never shave my legs and always wear skirts or dresses, love gift wrap and have a color coordinated Christmas tree.

I hate fast food chains. Don't eat at any of them except chick fil a or firehouse subs about once every other month. But I love sheetz.

lbarr088 · May 2012

Prewrap. I've been rocking the green lately.

(Used as a wrap before the actual tape for injuries... or for a lovely hair accessory!)

brandichamberlain · May 2012

Lbarr- http://www.pre-wrap.com/ LOL

Prewrap is the stretchy material that athletic trainers will use before taping parts of the body. My FI uses it so the tape doesn't stick to his skin/hair.

ahhhitsshannyn · May 2012

Oh I am not a card person at all. I usually throw them away the first chance I get. I'm awful.

I don't like cake unless it is funfetti with rainbow chip icing. I could eat a whole cake like that. I wish we would have stolen Beachys idea and had a funfetti wedding cake.

wadingmoose · May 2012

Hi.

Is that random enough or do I need more?

When I get stressed at work, I go to tripadvisor and read reviews of Vegas hotels. Today was Bora Bora hotels because I needed a bigger mental vacation to prevent me from going all nazi on my coworkers.

lbarr088 · May 2012

OMG there are designs? My new obsession....

ahhhitsshannyn · May 2012

Hmm how does that pre-wrap work? You just cut off a piece and tie it around your head?

Bubbalub · May 2012

Shan I totally do the same thing. As soon as I'm home from work I change into stretchy pants and a comfy top.

My H is currently outside bleaching some old larger animal skulls so he can display them. Gawd I love that man.

Our house is filled with books and toys. We have 5 overflowing bookcases, 9 display cases or display shelves of toys and more both displayed and in storage in the garage. It's like Steve Carell's house in The 40-year-old Virgin.

mandysmear · May 2012

I hate grocery store cake.

I love bakery or homemade cake.

I love baked goods.

And salted caramels. Since i got addicted to gourmet salted chocolate caramels I can't eat chocolate bars anymore. I used to love mars and milky way. They just don't do it for me.

I still do hair (friends, family and a few new clients here and there). I hate blowdrying my own hair. But, I LOVE blowdrying other people's hair. Love.

Loopyseven · May 2012

MUNI - I won't eat at chick fil a. I'm kind of surprised you do, even if it's not that often. http://gothamist.com/2011/11/02/chick-fil-as_charitable_foundation.php

ETA: Not judging - just surprised given how active you have been about the recent legislation in NC.

brandichamberlain · May 2012

I cut a piece, tie the two ends together, then roll it until it's thin. You can put it on your head and it will hold back your bangs and pieces that don't stay in your ponytail. It is stretchy so you don't need much.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · May 2012

The week before I went home for our wedding I made a funfetti cake and pretty much ate just that for all my meals, lol. Cream cheese frosting. Nom.

Posted by ahhhitsshannyn[/QUOTE]

<div>Yup it's a little stretchy so I cut off a piece and then tie it and put it over my head. At first I never made it long enough so it always snapped. The material it's made from makes it so it easily stays on your hair. I always have it half on my hair and partly on my forehead to get rid of sweat when I do a tough workout.</div><div>
</div><div>ETA: Sometimes I just roll it like Brandi said. It's quite versatile ;)</div>

adamar15 · May 2012

Is that the stuff that sticks to itself? I've always called it vet wrap, but I've only ever seen it used for animals rather than people.
