*~Honesty Scrap~*

My darling friend Leslie has tagged me to do the 'honesty scrap'. I will try to think of ten somewhat interesting things about myself.

1. First, I will just say I am a fairly private person. Although I love spending time with other people, and don't mind a crowd too much, I am definitely classified as an introvert. With that said, it is a real task for me to share 10 random things about myself with everyone.
2. Up until I was quite a bit older, I had some interesting ideas on how I wanted to spend my adult life. I wanted to become an archeologist, compete in the Miss America pageant-and win of course ( I love to watch the pageants!), and live in France with my best friend Christine.
3. I have a frivolous love of perfume. Since I was a little girl I have always loved all things that smell lovely to say the least. I love reed diffusers, votives, body washes, lotions and potions, and the grand daddy of them all, eau du parfum! I recommend reading 'Perfumes- The Guide' by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez. It's nice to wander into a department store and smell the latest perfumes that have hit the shelves of every fragrance stand in America, but my true loves are the more rare perfumes. I have a favorite little place I go to get something special every time I go back to Virginia.
4. When I first met Kevin, my husband, I thought he was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. I went home that night, after briefly meeting him, and told my roommates that I met my dream guy. That thought hasn't changed- I still think he is unbelievably handsome and a true gentleman.
5. My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate raspberry truffle. It's something I indulge in when on the East Coast, usually with my sister or my best friend.
6. Idaho living can be difficult for me at times because I am absolutely not a jeans a T-shirt kind of gal! I love dresses, skirts and all the pretty details.
7. I think it would be fun to have a bunch of little girls. I don’t really have a strong preference of the sex of my future children, but I do really like the thought of all girls. Little girls are just so sweet. I’d love it!
8. If you’re an old roommate or family you probably know this next fact: I am obsessed with anti-aging. I have such a regimen in the morning and at night for my skin. I will absolutely not lie in a tanning bed nor will I spend time in the sun without a very high SPF. It doesn’t matter if I get in at 3 a.m. I will spend the 10 minutes or so prepping my face for sleep. I have healthy skin now- and I know it will all pay off when I am older. Kevin always tells me I should be a dermatologist because of my love of healthy skin.
9. I wish I had more endurance while running. I should preface that by saying I wish I loved running period. (Mel, you’re my hero!)
10. If I could do college all over again- I’d major is art history or fine art. I’d keep the same minor-philosophy.
11. One more thing, I suppose I should add a 'pet peeve', it seems like everyone puts at least one. I cannot tolerate a person, especially an adult, who chews gum loudly and smacks on it!!!! I would never say anything, but it truly makes my stomach turn and I just want to give them my copy of Amy Vanderbilts etiquette book.
The End
