Do you ever read a blog and think you really know the blogger? I know I do. Then they write post about things we may not know and I always find it fun! So today I am sharing with YOU 10 things YOU don’t know about ME!
10 Things You Don’t Know About Me
I am a really picky eater. I do not eat most fish, sushi, mustard, mayo, pickles, and about a million other things most people love.
I rewatch shows and reread books. Some of my favorite books I’ve read 5 or 6 times. I have watched all of Greys Anatomy, Friends, HIMYM, Gilmore Girls, and Everwood at least 10 times all the way through. Probably more.
I have an oddly large collection of tumblers. Seriously I love water tumblers. Probably more than coffee mugs.
I jokingly said once “I want a job where I can wear workout clothes all day.” Now I have a job where I wear workout clothes all day.
Our son is named after 4 family members. My grandfather, both of Andrew’s grandfathers, and a woman who was basically my second mom. It was really important for us to use family names.
I am an introverted extrovert. It’s easy for me to talk to people but I prefer to keep to myself. I am really quiet when I first meet people and I have always considered myself VERY shy. I have a VERY hard time going to events where I don’t know people and have to give myself a huge pep talk before.
I am still really good friends with my first friend. He and I have known each other since Mothers Day Out. We went all through Pre school, elementary, middle and high school together. We attended each others weddings and still hang out with our spouses. He was actually an usher in our wedding and gave a toast at our rehearsal dinner.
My favorite color is gray. Most things I own are gray. My go to handbag is gray. Every room in our house is painted graceful gray. Our bedding is even gray. I find it very soothing.
I would rather read and be in jammies than go out any day of the week. Like I said above, I’m a huge introvert. I also married an introvert. We prefer to be just us and our babe.
My husband and I met on Match.com, we said “I love you” after 4 weeks, we moved in together after 3 months. We then got engaged right at one year and married 10 months after that! We’ve never looked back.
Now that I have shared 10 things you don’t know about me, comment with one thing I don’t know about you!
I love that you say you are an introverted extrovert! I never hear anyone say that but I totally relate! I’m a dental hygienist so I have To talk to people all day, which I love. But put me in a group setting, party, networking event… I freeze up and hate it the whole time. I love chatting one on one but big groups are so difficult. And my husband and I always prefer hanging at home or doing something as a family to going out. The best!
I love these kinds of posts! I’m a really picky eater as well. My family says I’m not American because watermelon is one of those well loved things that I can’t stand!
I am quite a picky eater too–no seafood for me, and I don’t drink coffee, either! Often my husband and I will go two different places to eat–one place for his meal and one place for mine. 😛
I really loved reading this post, as you are one of my favorite bloggers, and I liked learning more about you. I am also a “homebody,” and my husband and I met my husband on eHarmony.
I didn’t get into HIMYM until it was almost over so it was nice to be able to binge watch most of the seasons. In fact, when I can’t find anything to fall asleep to I’ll turn on an old episode on Netflix!
Numbers 2 and 3 are exactly the same for me. I have so many tumblers, and typically use one of them on a regular basis. I’m a tumbler hoarder. Also, I love to reread books and I am watching Friends for the 6th time right now! =]
did you know that being an introvert and an extrovert is an ambivert! it’s the in between. I consider myself to be an ambivert, and thought you would like to know the actual name for it 🙂 I would also love to know more information about you and your hubbie! It’s so cute to think that you guys got married so quickly. How did you know it was right? Was it just a gut feeling? xxx
Ah, I almost forgot about Everwood! That was such a good show! I’ve watched GG at least 20 times now too. Also, I’m definitely an introverted extrovert too and although I’m really shy when I first meet someone, once I get to know them I’m super talkative lol.
So fun to learn more about you! I’m also a huge fan of Grey’s and Gilmore Girls. Have you listened to the Gilmore Guys podcast? It’s the best! I listened all the way through (literally over 400 hrs of content) and I laughed the whole time!
These posts are my favorite! I love learning fun things about peeps. I’m a picky eater, too. Don’t worry! And I LOVE the color gray as well. All of my walls are either light gray or white. Also, rewatching tv shows is my jam!
We are literally the same on 1 and two—I don’t eat anything that comes from the sea nor do I like mayo (I also don’t like chocolate which is even weirder!). I also rewatch tv shows (Gilmore Girls, Friends, Call the Midwife and Heartland are on constant rotation!) and I’ll always reread Harry Potter. I also have TONS of mugs, like 10x as many as I need but I love getting new ones.
I also definitely prefer to stay in than go out. I’m extremely anxious in social situations, shy and am highly introverted.
I love this list and your transparency in sharing. One thing I can share is I started my blog on January 1st on a whim and I worked on it until it was done and haven’t looked back since. It’s all about empowering woman something I love to do so http://www.girlfriendswithgoals.com has been a work of art and love for me.
I also met my husband online – and I love the shows that you have watched multiple times. (Especially Everwood!) Oh and I was once engaged for more than 3 years. I called the wedding off just before the big day – my dress came in the week after I called it all off. I was more heartbroken over the dress than the relationship.
I love to read such tid bits about others! I am totally the same, rewatch shows over and over, probably on my 4328th time watching Friends, no kidding hehe.
I am going to have to look up Everwood… I have never heard it but all the other shows you mention in that list are my all time favs! We must have similar taste!
I love rereading books as well! I’ve read so many of my favourites over 5 or 6 times too, including the full Harry Potter series!

I’m with you on the reading in jammies! I’m a serious homebody 🙂
Loved this. I don’t know if I would call myself picky, but I definitely won’t touch seafood or beef that is not well done 🙂
I am quite a picky eater too–no seafood for me, and I don’t drink coffee, either! Often my husband and I will go two different places to eat–one place for his meal and one place for mine. 😛
So nice to learn more about you! I think it is so important to share things about us with our readers–really strengthens the connection with them!
Nice to meet you 🙂 we have many things in common, I am also an introverted extrovert and I also reread and rewatch my favorites.
I really loved reading this post, as you are one of my favorite bloggers, and I liked learning more about you. I am also a “homebody,” and my husband and I met my husband on eHarmony.
I love that you re-read your fav books! Which ones are your favorites and you’ve read over and over?
Thanks for sharing your life. I rewatch Dexter ALL the time! For me, it’s no different than watching reruns of sitcoms. ;0 I too am a picky eater.
I didn’t get into HIMYM until it was almost over so it was nice to be able to binge watch most of the seasons. In fact, when I can’t find anything to fall asleep to I’ll turn on an old episode on Netflix!
When I bought my house, a few rooms were painted grey. I’m now obsessed with it. It’s so gorgeous!!

Yes! I am an introverted extrovert as well. Some people think thats impossible

It’s funny that you’re an introverted extrovert, but I think of myself as an extroverted introvert!
That’s so cool about you and your husband. I can relate to so much, including being an introvert.
My son is named after my husband and my dad. My daughter is named after an aunt and my grandmother.
So fun to learn more about you! I’m also a huge fan of Grey’s and Gilmore Girls. Have you listened to the Gilmore Guys podcast? It’s the best! I listened all the way through (literally over 400 hrs of content) and I laughed the whole time!

Lovely to learn more about you, I’m totally with you on number 6! Glad to know there’s others like it too 🙂
I’m with you on Greys and HIMYM…those never get old!

AWH! Love your love story, Neely! That is simply the cutest – when you know, you know! 🙂
I loveeee Grey’s Anatomy too! My family laugh about it and say I think I’m a doctor now haha
I am all over #9! That is the perfect night after a busy day of motherhood.

I’m an introverted extrovert myself haha. Once I know people, I talk a lot but at first I’m super shy and quiet.
I used to be a picky eater up until about 2 years ago, but now I will try just about anything!
Neely,
Seriously love this whole list! My husband and I met on Match as well. 8 hour first date and the rest is cliche/history, ha!

I knew you were a self-proclaimed picky eater but I had no idea you met Andrew on Match.com That is so awesome!
I am going to have to look up Everwood… I have never heard it but all the other shows you mention in that list are my all time favs! We must have similar taste!
