10 Things True About Myself

Jess, this is all your fault! How can I be expected to show my true self on this blog?! (jk) So here it goes...10 Honest Things about myself:

1. I can be very much like a child when it comes to sugary snacks. Give me anything...sour patch kids, gummy bears, skittles, Twizzlers, jelly beans, Gushers, candy corn, Lucky Charms, Froot Loops...I HEART it all!

2. I never thought I would be one of those "little dog people". Growing up I always had golden retrievers and had a strong preference for bigger dogs. I would make fun of the toy group while watching dog shows and scoff at people who would put clothes on their dogs. Once Michael and I got married we decided we really wanted to get a dog, but it would be unfair to have a large dog in a condo with no true yard. We decided on the pug...once little Oscar came home with us, that was it for me. I will forever be a little dog and a big dog person...who occasionally puts little sweaters on her pugs :)

3. I miss my Oma so much. On February 28th she passed away 3 years ago, but I know and feel that her spirit is constantly with me.

4. I strongly dislike knock-off designer purses (for me, not for others). I would rather hold out for the real thing.

5. I think that there is a strong correlation between Austrian women and their social staying power at parties/outings/events.

6. I absoloutely love things that have to do with paper...stationery, greeting cards, thank you notes, wrapping paper, tissue paper, gift bags, bows (okay, so that's not paper). I have boxes and boxes of it and I am very particular about my choices. Can you tell my "love" language is gifting?

7. My sign is Leo and I live up to many characteristics of my sign, but not to the typical Leo extreme (i.e. pride). However since I am right at the beginning of the Leo dates I am more of a Leo Lite, or maybe a lion cub...

8. I used to play competitive tennis and was pretty decent at it. I always preferred singles opposed to doubles (I only wanted to be responsible for myself). However, at 18 years old I got burnt out and quit cold turkey. I have not picked up a raquet in 8 years and I miss it now.

9. I love visiting modern art museums. As silly as it sounds, looking at all the amazing and cooky art somehow feeds my soul.

10. My husband is my best friend...no matter how much he annoys me by reading over my shoulder (this just happened).

Monday is almost over. Yippee!
