Tagged!

My favorite new mom up in Michigan tagged me to answer some fun questions about myself... Most of the time I forget to complete these things, so here I go.

1. What is your ideal number of children?
2 - That means we are halfway there. :) Now, if we could just agree on when to start on #2.

2. What color flatters you the most?
Hum.... I am never good at this. You know how in magazines they always say what lip gloss or eye shadow colors are best, based on your skin tone? I can never tell. That inside of the wrist trick does not work on me. So, if I were to choose what colors I wear the most, it would be green, orange and white. And of course, black... that is a given.

3. What is your favorite household chore? And which do you wish the little fairies would do overnight?
I want the little fairies to come and take care of ALL the chores. If you count yard work as a chore, then that would be my favorite. I love working in the yard...

4. What is your favorite book of all time?
I used to be an avid reader, but ever since I had Miss A, I have been a total slacker. I get into bed at night and fall asleep to Bravo, where I used to fall asleep with a book on my face. I really loved My Sister's Keeper... the movie was not as good as the book, but are they ever?

5. What do you sleep in?
A tank top and gym shorts. Could it get any sexier?

6. Red or White?
White. Love white jeans and white t shirts. I always gravitate to white, so this was an easy one for me.

7. Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? Why?
I am going to take the easy way out and just say all three! Ever since I started staying home with Miss A, everyday kind of seems like the weekend. But, on the real weekend, the Mr. is home so enjoy spending time with him.

8. What is your ideal job (regardless of current schooling, training, etc)
I have always thought I would love to work in a medical setting... but currently my ideal job would involve cooking of some sort. I actually have a little something up my sleeve regarding this. :)

25 Things

1. I sometimes add things to my to-do list just so I can cross them off.


2. I hate to give gift cards as gifts, but sometimes there is no other option.


3. It drives me crazy when people do not know how to properly use me/I and they’re/there/their. I correct them in my head… and sometimes out loud.


4. I can fall asleep almost anywhere, but when I am going to bed I want it to be completely dark.


5. I even went as far as covering up the lights on serge protectors in my dorm room.


6. One of my best friends was at the hospital the day I was born. I was in her wedding on my 21st birthday and there is a possibility Baby M will be born on her daughter’s birthday.


7. I worked at a tanning salon in college and was flashed by some freak my first day on the job…. The cops wanted to know if he had any distinguishing characteristics.


8. As a result of this job, I looked like a brown kangaroo freak.


9. I have formed a best friendship with someone over shoes. Pink suede loafers to be exact.


10. I can spend hours out in the sun working on my tan.


11. Because of 7, 8, and 10 I already use anti wrinkle cream.


12. I wanted to come home from college every day my freshman year.... my parents told me they would not pick me up from the airport. I stayed and ended up loving it.


13. I accidentally drank my friend’s husband’s contacts. There is a good explanation for this – bachelorette party.


14. I did some things in college that I could have been kicked out of school for.


15. I have always wanted twin boys. Maybe next time… this time, there is only 1.


16. I am deathly allergic to shellfish and once thought I was going to die in Chuy’s. (they accidentally served me shrimp tacos)


17. I met my other best friend on the first day of college. We ended up being college roomies, lived together after college and worked together. Plus, I introduced her to her now husband and she did the same for me.


18. If I could only choose 2 items of makeup for the rest of my life, I would choose mascara and lipgloss. And concealer. So, make that 3 items.


19. When the baby is born, I do not want pictures taken unless I have on mascara, lip gloss and concealer.


20. I am obsessed with my hair and will purchase almost product that promises to give me sleek, shiny and luxurious locks.


21. The year after I got married I cut off a total of 15 inches from my hair. I donated it to Locks of Love, but I am ready for it to be long again.


22. I once had a hard core addiction to Diet Coke, but then I gave it up because it gave me awful heart burn. I was clean and sober for about 3 years. I am back on the wagon and I love it.


23. I decide whether or not I like a celebrity by their fun factor. Would they be fun to share a pitcher of margaritas with? The leaders of this list are Jen Aniston, Heidi Klum, Neil Patrick Harris and Justin Timberlake.


24. I think I could go all winter without ever turning on the heat in our house.


25. I cannot tell you the dates things occurred, but I can always tell you what I was wearing.

I tag anyone that wants to divulge 25 things.

I was tagged...

This is the first time that I have ever been tagged! The Preppy Pearl tagged me for 6 unimportant facts about myself.... Here they go.

1) I cannot stand clock ticking. If I am traveling or staying anywhere where there is a clock that I can hear ticking I either cover it up with a blanket or move it outside the room!
2) My best friend from college introduced my to Mr. Accountant and I introduced her to her husband.
3) I really hate to cry, but sometimes a Grey's Anatomy episode can make me a weeping fool.
4) I hate roses.
5) I like the smell of air conditioning, when it is just turned on in a hot car.
6) I was a hard core Diet Coke addict up until 2.5 years ago - I had to give it up cold turkey because it was giving me awful heart burn. Now I only drink water and tea (and red wine!)

My name...

Oh me oh my..... This could not be more on the dot!

What Brittany Means

You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous. You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things. Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.
