Learn something new about me... And a new blog background

As most of you have noticed, My blog went through some changes the past few days. I loved my old background but when I sent my pictures over to Kelly at http://www.oxboroughchaos.com/ to update them. Because she is the person who designed my blog layout in the first place. So I sent her my pics and she so sweetly offered to change my blog up a bit. I thought that was so sweet of her. She did a great job as usual. We opted for the much brighter more summery and fun background this time. Its bright!!! I hope you all enjoy.

Thanks so much Kelly.. I will be doing a free blog makeover giveaway compliments of the lovely mrs. Kelly sometime in the next week. So check in if your wanting a brand new blog makeover.

Also:

Today my new buddy (Oh my gosh, I don't even know her name???) over at http://thelittlebarrasfamily.blogspot.com/ left me this totally awesome award. Thanks girly!!!



The rules............
1. accept and thank the person who gave it to you!
2.List 10 things about yourself
3.List 5 additional things you DON'T like!
4.Then pick ten people to give this lovely award to!


Ok...

1. I'm obsessed with cheese. I've gotten much better over the years but I sure do love cheese.

2. I don't have a favorite color. I have always struggled with what my favorite color was when asked that question. I don't have one. I think it depends on what your referring to in order for me to pick a color I would prefer.

3. I'm really outspoken, I speak my mind and I talk way to much.

4. I am one of the biggest worriers on the planet. I worry about all kinds of random things.

5. I always knew I would have a boy first. I knew it my entire pregnancy and even before we got pregnant. I just saw a boy in my future.

6. I have naturally brown hair. Not dark brown but its not blond either shhhhh don't tell :)

7. I've started to wear "mommy jeans". Ok they aren't really mommy jeans but I used to wear skimpy low cut jeans, even a year and a half ago I was. Then I got prego, had my baby and now I'm gap jeans all the way. They go up higher on my back and since I am way to lazy to ever work out I prefer my jeans to cover any extra somethin somethin that might be there.

8. I used to LOVE to shop but I've gotten much better the past year. However if you give me money and take me to the mall, the crazy old Melissa will unleash and I will have no problem spending that money very fast.

9. It took me almost 4 months to let the dogs even close to Cooper. I've had them since they were puppies, they are both now 5 and 6 years old but it still freaked me out. I still won't let them near him unless I'm right there but they love him and watch over him and I know they won't hurt him, but its still the "what ifs". Refer back to answer # 4.

10. I'm so goofy, I dance all kinds of random uncool jigs and dances all over my house singing all the time.

Ok now I have to list 5 things about myself I don't like...

1. I don't really think I don't like this but its really quirky of me so I'll list it. I HATE the drains in showers. I refuse to touch them with my feet UGH!!! When I clean the shower, I have to have two washcloths in a big ball and I nearly gag the entire time I clean it. Even if it looks clean it still totally grosses me out. Yuck.

2. I sometimes have a bad habit of messing with my cuticles. I hate when I do this, but if I'm stressed or worried or thinking hard I sometimes don't even realize I'm doing it. Not a good habit to have.

3. I refuse to go tanning, I used to years ago but my mom has had some skin cancer and it totally freaked me out because I'm pale. So as much as I miss that beautiful golden glow. I won't do it anymore. I embrace my pale self, use a little self tanner and get a little sun through my SPF in the summer and that's about it.

4. I have an attitude, or so I've been told by close friends and family. I have no idea what they mean? :)

5. I think I want a bigger butt. I've always wanted more junk in the trunk but its just not in the cards for me. I'm not getting a butt implant or anything but I do sort of wish I had a bigger Heine!

OK ladies I think that's all.
