Sgniht sdrawkcab and Oddities

Right now, I’m eating hot buttered popcorn and drinking Diet Coke. It’s 10 in the morning. Also, most nights I get pancake cravings, that I don’t usually fulfill. This leads me to believe that someday, if I ever get pregnant, I will want breakfast food in the morning and dinner at night, and my husband will be utterly shocked.

I’ve never been the kind of girl who dreams of my someday wedding or buys bridal magazines. However, helping my friends pick out dresses and make centerpieces and giggle about their fellas is one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. I did not expect this from myself.

I’m always cold, but I love fresh air. So, most of the time I have my windows open at night, only to wake up freezing and cursing whoever left the window open, only to remember that it was, in fact, me. Why I have not yet learned to close the windows BEFORE I fall asleep is beyond me.

I love driving, but if there is a man coming along, I usually insist that he drive. The only exception is if he is between the ages of 16-20, in which case I value my life too much.

Rainy days are my favorite. FAVORITE. However, laying out and getting a tan is also my favorite, and so is the beach.

I love good photography and taking pictures, but never remember to bring or use my camera.

I love clever commercials and ad campaigns, but HATE advertising-speak, which brutalizes the English language.

I check email obsessively during the week, and completely ignore it on weekends.

Pink pedicures are awesome, but if I paint my fingernails anything other than natural, I feel sorta like a Ho.

I love horses, but typically stay quiet in conversations about them unless I know you very well. I do not, will not, compete about how much I know and love the things that I know and love.

I always pay bills and rent on time – except for my student loan. For some reason, that one slips through the cracks every few months.

  1. Dani, I’m telling you. Be like me and paint your fingernails French Whore Red. You won’t be sorry.

    (I made up that name, by the way. You can NOT find that at Wal-Mart.)

    🙂

  2. I do agree about the pedicures & fingernails. And for some reason, remembering to pay the credit card bill is more difficult when I’m overseas.
