don't kill me

my sister in law, Chloe has an awesome sister in law, Sarah.

i blog stalked Sarah (mostly because she's probably the most gorgeous woman to ever walk the earth)

and saw this challenge!

i don't know why i love these.

but i do.

even though i'm bad at them.

but you didn't honestly think that would stop me, did you?

ha.

10 day YOU challenge: ten secrets

1. i play with my hair when i'm bored. if i have nothing better to do, i'll spend my time looking up hairstyles online (mostly Pinterest) and try them out on myself. this is also a bonus, because when my husband comes home, i look cute and it gives him the idea that i was productive! (which sadly isn't always the case.)

2. i wish i was more stylish. i try my hardest, but i feel like i'm a failure most of the time. i love my clothes, and i think i have all the right pieces, i just can't put them together right (like the genius woman of cupcakes and cashmere). 

3. i Facebook stalk people's weddings. my friends, of course. but also friends of friends, that i know of, but don't know. it's so entertaining. the only thing is... i love my wedding the most. it was beautiful and perfect and i love it. i look at my pictures every day.

4. i love baby names. except i don't know why we call them "baby names" because... it's not just your name when you're a baby! i have lots of names i love. but i'm also paranoid about them getting trendy. i don't want trendy babies. anyway, it's a long list. and gets added to frequently.

5. i've never been to a lighthouse. devin loves lighthouses, because of the time he spent on the east coast, and has photographed several of them. there are lighthouse photos all over our house, and i'm dying to go to one!

6. i hate facebook. i feel like because of facebook, i do things i wouldn't normally do. like worry over people i don't know, and look at pictures of people i don't care to know... but mostly i hate my need for facebook. it's the only way i know what goes on with my friends. it's the only way i've seen their kids, their weddings, their families, the only way i talk to some of them! it's pathetic. yet... none of us can stop! facebook owns us.

7. i am becoming a great cook. with practice, that is. my pulled pork experiment was a total success, as are my many cupcakes. i'm keeping my husband happy, and that's good enough for me! it's something i'm pretty proud of, nonetheless.

8. i've become a stickler about coasters. only since i got married. and only because we have really nice bedroom furniture and a $20 coffee table that i want to keep looking like it cost us more than $20. you don't have a coaster under your glass? how dare you. i never used to care. funny how that happens sometimes.

9. i don't like thrift shopping. not for clothes, at least. antique shopping is different. but i just can't bring myself to spend time willingly in Savers. it smells funny in there. i just like new things... i guess it's also based off of some type of paranoia. who knows where those clothes have been and how clean they are. i just can't do it. for other people, it's awesome. and i'm almost always jealous of the cool stuff they find. it's just not for me.

10. i don't have very many secrets. i like to consider myself an open person, as long as i feel like i can trust you, you probably know all of this.
