Wow!

Cannot believe that today is the last day of 2010! It just doesn’t seem possible that a year has gone by so fast. Here is a picture recap of my life in 2010.

Today, I’m linking up with Ashley at Little Miss Momma for her BFF link-up!

I’ve been blogging for almost a year, but I know there’s a lot of things I don’t share about myself. This should be fun! :)

I love to people-watch, and I invent stories about the people that I watch, usually things that involve kidnapping and serial killers.

Driving/riding in a car makes me nervous.

I have scoliosis, and I’ve had two spinal fusions, one when I was 11 and one when I was 15. I have three metal rods and numerous screws in my back. I carry a card in my wallet from my doctor describing all of the hardware, just in case I should set off a metal detector. Hasn’t happened yet, but I kinda want it to!

Because of that first surgery, I have nerve damage that causes me not to feel when my feet get cold. Seriously, to touch them, they will be freezing, but I can’t feel it.

I put ranch dressing, cheese, or chocolate on everything I eat.

I have an obsession with song lyrics and movie quotes.

I absolutely love Mexican food, and I could eat it every day.

I hate to sweat, which makes the whole exercise thing a little difficult.

I don’t usually return phone calls if the caller doesn’t leave a voicemail. If it’s important, they should leave a message!

I am probably the most organized messy person you will ever meet.

I love shopping, but shopping during the holidays makes me want to stab someone.

I rarely leave the house without makeup, but I never wear lipstick/gloss.

I have a Dr. Pepper addiction.

I refuse to use a public bathroom if I can help it.

I am terribly clumsy, and I keep bruises on my legs from crashing into my desk every time I walk past it.

I am super girly, and I love girly things, like dresses and jewelry and headbands. Makes me happy!

I love live music. I go to lots of concerts, and I have gone with friends to artists that I don’t even know, just because I enjoy live music.

I could probably go on and on, but I’ll stop there! Hope you all have a great Tuesday!
