I was recently tagged by Jen from City Farmhouse to share seven random things with you about myself.
I did one of these lists awhile ago with 25 items...I am running out of things to tell you guys.
OK...here we go.
1. I grew up in Illinois and I would move back in a second if it were not for the humidity, bugs and snow.
2. After three kids I am lucky if I don't wet my pants every time I workout....sorry...I told you it was getting harder to find things to tell you. I guess this is when I hope ex-boyfriends don't read my blog...if they were still wondering if I had been the one...I think I answered that for them.
3. I am computer challenged. That I have a blog is nothing short of a miracle! I have notes on how to upload photos and all other blog/website related things that I could need when my computer husband is not available. It is sad and pathetic!
4. I used to be a stripper...OK...I never was! I just thought that would spice things up a bit. The truth is I can talk to anyone...anywhere.
5. My dad has a real estate agency and he is a realtor. We would spend so many Sundays going through open houses. It was one of my favorite things to do...it still is. It is hard not to stop anytime I see an open house sign. I love getting a peek into another person's home.
6. Growing up I had wished that I was a brunette. I have always thought that dark hair is so stunning. Well, after my third baby and I couldn't fit into any of my clothes I thought it was a brilliant idea to go dark ....really dark. Not one of my best looks.
7. I love shoes. I really just love all fashion accessories. I just counted my shoes for you and I have 63 pairs. The scary thing is that I recently got rid of a ton.
There you have it.
Seven useless things you now know about me that is taking away precious space in your brain.
I want to hear seven random things about YOU!
If you play along let me know and I will link back to you.
That pink rack would have been an awesome place to store 63 pairs of shoes. 63 pairs of shoes, thats crazy!!! Crazy fun.

Wow, that's a lot of shoes, Jeanne! Do you have a special closet for them? How do you store them? Do you remember what shoes you have? My husband likes shoes too - he has way more pairs than me :)

You are so funny. That was just so cute and I loved that your charm came out in full. Have a great day.

kegels... that caught my eye... funny. How old is your baby? Mine is 5 1/2 and the pee pee thing went away... I hope it does for you too. I only have like 8 pairs of shoes because I only wear flip flops and uggs... I love shoes though. I'm just usually drawn to the expensive ones. Although my favorite shoes are Steve Madden cheapies! My dad is a realtor as well and I LOVE looking in people's homes! I'm usually surprised at how ugly they are inside. BUT I'm always ready to try and fix up anything. And I would LOVE to live somewhere sunny but my friends, church, family, and most important... sister are here! Wow... is this a comment or a blog post? xo

hahaha! I love it. I keep coming back to #2 and laughing.

It is so fun to read these things and I was dying laughing about peeing your pants when you work out, cause uhm, well...I have only had one baby i pee my pants on occasion when I run..so embarassing, I could only imagine after a couple more I might not be able to leave the house for fear of a river following me! :) Happy Monday Jeanne!

Hi Jeanne :)
Your ice-cream man comment cracked me up! I think he might be related to the guy we had in virginia ...hehehehe....
Being a brunette with almost black hair my whole life, I always wanted to be a blond. Funny how that works ;)

Yep, it's nice to know that peeing when laughing or coughing and for sure running happens after kiddos! I adore shoes too, but i catch myself wearing the same pair over and over!!!
happy Monday,

come on the bugs, humidity and snow are not that bad....RIGHT! The snow and cold so far are worse than the bugs and the humidity this year, but ask me about the cicadas two years ago...or DON"T! hehehe

Thanks for playing along! I loved reading them, I had no I idea you were computer challanged like me. The ones about your wedding day & being pregnant were very sweet. Good to know I am not alone about the pee thing,sneezing gets me every time.
Have a good one,
Jen

I'm blonde too and always wished I were brunette. Indian or Hispanic would be PERFECT!
