Neely keeps it real

Last week my lovely blog friend Mrs Monologues did a post about keeping it real….
I have stolen borrowed the idea and I am now using it:
I have been known to drink not one but two starbucks latte’s a day
I drink wine most nights
I love a good spinach smoothie
I have watched the movie, The Holiday eleventy billion times
I keep a spread sheet of my budget for 3 months at a time
I have an obscene amount of post it notes
I have no less than 3 full bottles of ozarka water next to my bed at all times
I cant fall asleep without the TV on….Chad despises this
I have been known to wake up before Chad every single day
I usually play words with friends or angry birds while peeing
I detest any kind of public bathroom and I usually only use them when drunk
My mom bought all my clothes from Nieman Marcus when I was a baby-age 10….I blame her
I have no less than 7 lipglosses in my purse at all times
And 2 packs of orbit wintermint gum
I cant pack for a trip without packing for 3 times as long as Ill be gone
But If I pack for someone else I can do it with military precision
I’d rather be in PJs or workout clothes than dress up and I usually go shopping looking like a slob
I always have sunglasses on regardless of rain or shine
I like to keep it real

    I am like Chad, I cannot stand watching TV to go to sleep. Therefore, there is no TV in our bedroom! Thank goodness my husband doesn’t need it either.

  2. I must have the tv to go to sleep too! As for shopping, for some odd reason I feel compelled to dress for the occasion. 😉

    I HAVE to have the TV on as well. It gets too quiet without some noise. I never dress up for shopping either. Gotta be comfortable and relaxed. 😉 And trust. If there was a Starbucks in this town, I’d have two a day quite often.

    I am so with you on the packing thing…it takes me forever and I always pack way too much. BUT when I pack Robbie’s bag I can have it done in a matter of minutes and it’s always the perfect amount.

    Maybe it’s just because guys are easier??

    I LOVE the Holiday too.

    Glad you got real with us today! Love the fact that you don’t dress up to go shopping — I normally don’t either.

    I can relate to sooo many of these! I (used to) drink wine every night. I HATE public bathrooms. I go through probably 10 plus post its a day!

    But, I do like to sleep with the TV on especially if Johh is out of town! To be honest I fall asleep during most movies and have even been known to fall asleep while reading and wake up with my face implanted in a book.

    I am SO with you on the public restroom thing! I just hate them and try to avoid them at all costs. And I’m also a chronic over-packer. I think it’s a good thing, because I never forget anything and have outfits for any occasion or mood 🙂
