Today is my 26th Birthday! I thought I might share 26 things about me to celebrate 🙂 OH and I’m linking up with Andrea for Show & Tell to share my best recipes!
So here are 26 Facts About ME right now, some maybe not so well known 🙂
1. I smile A LOT. My co-workers often comment on how happy I always am, with a constant smile, and some even will stop by my desk just because they need to see a smile through their stressful day. I take deep pride in this and it is the HUGEST compliment.
2. I love mail. I love sending it. I love receiving it. I check it everyday and even a day of just junk mail is better than none at all. I think I might like to work at a small local post office when I retire 😉
3. I love my library. I really like to read too but sometimes I think I finish a book not because I want to know how it ends but because I know it means a trip to my library. I think I might like to be a librarian someday too hehe! See my monthly book reviews here.
4. 3 Musketeers are my favorite candy bar. I like to pick off all the chocolate and eat it first then enjoy the nougat 😀
5. Country music is my favorite. It’s almost all I listen to.
6. I don’t like peanut butter. Strawberry jelly only sandwiches for me please!
7. I’m currently succulent OBSESSED!
8. When I get home from work I like to eat a handful of M&Ms (a couple each of peanut & milk chocolate).
9. I’m from a teeny tiny Irish town near the middle of the Mitt #SmallTownGIrl
10. I’d like to own chickens someday 🙂
11. I like to plan. I don’t mind if things don’t end up going according to plan but I at least like to have an idea and loose plan so I know what to expect. See how I use my planner here and how I meal plan here.
12. I’ll drink warm leftover fountain soda the next day, I don’t necessarily prefer it but I do like it.
13. Leftover popcorn from the movie theater is even better the next day…I think it gives it more time to soak up the butter!
14. Give me all the beagle and hedgehog things!
15. Burritos are the way to my heart, hands down! Or just Mexican food in general.
16. I can’t not eat breakfast, it just isn’t an option.
17. I’m an early to bed, early to rise kind of person – just to much life to enjoy when the sun is up. Plus, we’re lucky if our dogs let us sleep in until 7a!
18. I won’t say no to help but I do prefer to do the house chores…my hubby just can’t fold clothes the way I can, load the dishwasher my way, or vacuum the way I like.
19. I learned to Irish dance at about age 8.
20. I LOVE a good crunchy pickle!
21. I’m currently learning how to drive a stick shift. Thanks hubby!
22. Target is my happy place 🙂
23. My husband and I carpool to work most days, he drops me off at work and picks me up. It is the worst when I have to drive myself to work!
24. I love to accessorize. I wear at least earrings every single day. Most days I’ve also got a necklace, bracelet, and a couple rings.
25. I’m a Detroit Tigers baseball fan. My husband and I try to visit a new MLB ballpark every year for our anniversary.
26. I love to tinker around our home – changing up decor inside and tending to my flowers/garden outside 🙂
Now for a few of my favorite recipes for Show & Tell!
Like I listed above, Mexican food is the way to my heart and these enchiladas have become one of my fast favorites!
I’d say my husband’s weakness is pasta. We tried out this Chicken Parmesan and he was SOLD! This baked Spaghetti has also been a fave go to.
After discovering this cookie recipe I haven’t looked back. When I need or just want a quick cookie I whip these up. I’ve seriously made so many different combos and flavors, the base recipe is simple and you can just vary your cake/pudding mix! SO EASY and so SO so GOOD!
I also love to have frozen dog treats on hand in the summer for a quick cool down or reward after a walk for Hank & Hal. I shared a few last year here. They go crazy over their frozen treats and have come to demand them after walks!
