What about you?
LOVE IT!!! I use to make my bed rigth before I slept in it too ( can’t go in an un-made bed) I am just below 5’5 but say I am 5’5 too haha.. I feel guilty about losing touch with friends too :-( but I think it happens to a lot of people! GREAT POST!
Uh, I just remembered I keep meaning to call one of my friends I’ve lost touch with. This post reminded me :)
your birthday is the day before mine! all good people are born in may (my fiance’s birthday is the week before mine) :-)
and i’m 5 4 1/2 too but i say 5’5″ because the average woman is 5’4″… and i like to pretend i’m above average!
haha…sometimes I am 5’4″ when measured but I refuse to believe it! I always say 5′ 4 AND A HALF!
I used to win spelling bees too, but never made it outside of my school… School champ it is!
I used to be so much better at spelling before the days of spell check. Damn computers!
I am really short, too – about 5’1″ – and clear about 5’5 with my heels. Or higher. :)
Ah I love this, Angela! My favorite class was always creative writing, too. My middle school was divided based on specializations, and my “major” was creative writing! I just found a HILARIOUS love poem I wrote about my 6th grade crush the other day. I definitely plagiarized Christina Aguilera for two lines of it… Woops haha
You just gave me a great idea to find some old work!!!! I would love to post some for a good laugh.
And LOL @ plagarizing Christina
This was super cute! Unlike you, I can’t wake without the snooze. It brings me slowly out of a dead sleep!…that or having to go to the bathroom! :)
I didn’t know you lived in the US! What brought you to Canada?
Cute facts! :)
I was born in New Brunswick, moved to the states mentioned above when I was 4 yrs old. Then back to Canada. My dad’s work moved us around a lot.
I always imagined you much taller! I’m with you on the astrology thing. I am all about science and evidence for most things but I find it very intriguing.
I never skipped class :( wish I did actually. I’m 168,5 cm :D I guess that’s 5.5
And now I know all these things, haha :-D
I’m 5’3″; I won many spelling bees as well; I never hit “snooze” either.
I love this post!
I never make my bed either, i sort of don’t understand why people do. hahaha..wouldn’t it be nice to have warm sheets though every night! We should invent something like that! hehe…have a great day!
Best idea ever- automatic bed maker!
I love this! Sharing these personal facts really make me feel like you’re an old friend! And I’m totally with you about the bugs…yuck!
Fun post!! Do your 2 different length legs affect your running?
I’m a Taurus too, and totally fit the mold! Stubborn, practical, etc. etc.
I never hit snooze! I’d rather have a deep sleep til I have to get up, and I only make my bed now because I live in a studio apartment and my bed is the center of my apartment!! It makes me feel so much better :)
Yes I think my legs being different lengths is a result of some of my knee pain. I got orthotics and the doc told me that.
What a fun post Angela!
– SOOOO with you on keeping your desk clean… it feels so nice to clean it off and get it organized, but it only last a day or two for me. ;)
– Haha, yes camping is definitely not my idea of a vacation. Although I have to admit my uncle and aunt used to have this INSANE camper that was 2 floors, had a full kitchen, a lazy boy recliner, and a flat screen TV. That, I could probably live with. ;)
– I don’t even know how snooze works. I have never even tried pushing it before!
xxoo
Heather
I think I detest snooze so much because Eric pushes his literally 5 times every morning. I hear it going off from my office!!!! So annoying, lol.
Love this post! I may post a 27 things on my blog :D
I’m totally with you on the desk thing. I can’t seems to keep mine clean for more than 36 hours. Booo…:(
I’m bad at keeping my desk clean, too! I’m 5’0.5″, but I frequently say I’m 5’1″ to make me feel a bit taller. I’m still a shorty! lol
I love this idea, I may have to steal it for my blog!
xo
K
