Neely 411: A Day Late

Hey Y’all I am linking up with Becky a Day Late to give you the 411 on me!
I know you’re excited!!(sarcasm)
 1. How long have you been blogging? And what got you started on blogging? Has your blog changed?
I have been blogging for a little over 2 and a half years. I started blogging after my google reader was filled with blogs of girls no different than me. I figured well shit I can write about my weekends too! My blog has changed in a ton of ways. Not only the name of my blog(Neely’s Nothings, Chronicles of Neely and A Complete Waste of Makeup). But also my focus, and what I want my blog to become.
2. Did you go to college? If so where, and what did you study? I sure did! I went to undergrad at Stephen F Austin and transferred to University of North Texas after my sophomore year. I then went to grad school at Southern Methodist University(SMU).  I have 2 bachelors degree’s One in Business and one in Marketing. I minored in both Economics and Art History. I also have my Masters in Education. A lot of school has been done.
3. Where have you traveled? I have been to 31 out of 50 states. I have been to Mexico and France. 
4. If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would buy? I would buy my parents houses with no mortgage and let my dad retire. My mom would never retire. 
5. What are your 3 biggest pet peeves? Lack of turn signals, people who think their you know what don’t stink, and not returning calls, texts and emails. 
6. What is your favorite movie? Ever? The Holiday. I watch it year round. 
7. What is your drink of choice; wine, beer, or liquor. Or Water, Soda, Tea? Wine, Water and Coffee. Not in that order of course 😉 
8. What is something you enjoy to do when you have me time? Blogging 😉 Seriously though I love blogging, online shopping, watching the Hills on Netflix over and over again, cleaning, organizing things, painting my nails…Im a girl 🙂
9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be? Norstrom or Nieman Marcus. Makeup, shoes, cute clothes, handbags….nuff said
10. Share with us an embarrassing moment of your past? Or present.  Oh probably the one time I farted in front of Chad…keepin it real. 
11. What day would you love to relive again? The day I met Chad but only if I knew what I know now. Other than that probably the first day of high school.
12. If your life was turned into a movie… what actor would play you? Probably Piper Perabo cause everyone says we look alike. 
13. What are the jobs you had in high school/college/the early years? I was a day camp counselor every summer from 12-20, during senior year I also worked at a kids toy store and of course I babysat. In college I worked as a nanny and for my dad. There hasn’t been a time(since I was 18) aside from grad school where I wasn’t working full time.
14. Show us a picture from high school or college.
 College Roomie and I
Sophomore year of hs homecoming with Andrew
15. If you could travel anywhere in the world, all expenses paid, where would you go? 
Italy with Chad for a month
16. Show us the most current picture of you or you, or your family, or anything of meaning to you.
Our third anniversary 2 weeks ago
17. Where do you see your life 5 years from now?
Successful in work, happy with C, Dad doing really well and fully in remission, moms business successful still…and best friend has another baby 🙂  Not too much to ask right?
What’s the 411 with you?
