Thoughtful Thursday

Shout-out to Stephanie, who I totally stole this blog idea from!

I'm {weird} because...

• I never eat my chicken biscuit together. I eat my chicken. And then the biscuit.


• I get a little nervous whenever a sentence requires me to say the word “error”.


• I don’t enjoy drinking water without ice cubes.


• I sometimes shave my legs twice in the same day. Hate prickles!


• I’d rather use a public toilet with the seat down that’s not freshly clean, than have to touch the freshly cleaned one with my hand because the seat is up.


• I HAVE TO eat my M&M’s in color groups of even numbers.


• I never under any circumstances walk around barefoot in a hotel room.


• I only eat ice cream out of a coffee mug when I’m at home, never a bowl.


• I’ll choose one restaurant over another based on Styrofoam cups.


• I could survive on cheese sandwiches alone.


• I really detest buying books with a movie adaptation as the cover art (saw this on Pinterest a while back- but SO true).

I'm {a guys’ girl} because…

• I eat, sleep, and breathe college football September through January.


• I can go beer for beer with the best of ‘em.


• I have been known to put away a piece of red meat like it’s my job.


• I love a good raunchy comedy movie.


• I will belt out every lyric of "Family Tradition," "Friends in Low Places," "Country Boy Can Survive," and "Shoulda Been A Cowboy".


• I have seen Young Guns, Tombstone, and ConAir just as many times as I’ve seen Pretty Woman or any other classic chick flick.

I'm a {girls' girl} because...

• I operate under the age-old motto: “If you mess with my girlfriends, you mess with me.”


• If you hate her, I hate her. Just in case you didn’t catch my first point.


• I very rarely decline a girl’s night invitation. Okay, never.


• I’ve got a listening ear open 24/7.


• I can talk books, movies, celebrities, music, and beauty products for as many hours as the day is long.


• I appreciate a good glass of wine, know the importance of routine pedicures, and admit that a hot bubble bath can cure almost anything.


• I love Britney Spears and chocolate. No good girly girl does not.

I'm {happy} because...

• It’s a holiday week! Woohoo Independence Day!


• I bought a pair of cute work shoes for $5 the other day! FIVE DOLLARS PEOPLE!!!


• I heard “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood on the radio this morning.


• Summertime equals suntans, snow cones, and fresh produce!

I'm {blessed} because...

• I’m surrounded in life by people who amaze me with their everyday acts of kindness and friendship.


• I have such an awesome group of friends- all special in their own way and all responsible for so many of my fondest memories.


• I have a husband who seems to know the perfect reaction for all situations: whether to make me laugh, let me cry it out, let me vent, or give me advice.


• I married into the best set of in-laws anyone could ask for, whose love and support seem to have no end.


• I have a mother who challenges me but loves me unconditionally; a brother who listens better than anyone I know and always has my back; and an angel in heaven who knows I’ll always be a daddy’s girl.


• I serve a God of infinite love and forgiveness.
