An About Me: Five Things In Five Ways

I've noticed that I've gained a few new friends around these parts recently.
So first off, HI, my name is Erin and I am a Blue Moon/Riesling/Crappy reality tv/Mexican food - aholic.

Secondly, I'm glad to have you and I promise I won't bite. 
(Unless you're rude and/or don't like puppies)
Random picture of cute puppy to make your heart smile

Thirdly, I figured I'd talk about myself today (because I obviously don't do that enough as a blogger) to give you a bit of an idea about who I am and what makes me tick.

So we're going to play a little game of fives. Five things for five different categories.
The idea came from Nikki from Glossy Blonde who originally discovered it on Fashion Chalet.

Feel free to steal the prompts like I did and play along so I can get to know you.


Five Things You'll Find In My Bag

1. My iPhone. That is if it's not in my hand, which 95% of the time...it is.
3. A brush, because I'm positive my hair was genetically designed to blow at the first sight of wind.
4. Wallet, I mean duh. This 12 year old needs her ID on her at all times to get into bars see 'R' rated movies.

All the crap goes in here: Longchamp in Graphite - aka my third arm since it's always attached to me

Five Things You'll Find In My Bedroom

1. Eight (or more) pillows, because a bed just doesn't smile if you have any less.
2. A DIY "I Love You" canvas
3. Eleventy thousand scarves. I hoard them.
4. Summer clothes, bags of Christmas decorations, and a tutu stuffed under my bed.
A guy once asked me if I got the duvet set passed down from a late grandmother...men on their decorating sense.

Five Things I've Always Wanted To Do

1. Go swimming with dolphins. I've done wild ones but I want Sea World ones.
2. Be able to magically not look pregnant after drinking three or more beers. God damn beer bloat.
3. Marry Eva Longoria and/or Minka Kelly and live happily ever after.
4. Be a mom.
5. Go to Australia and see a Platypus plus possibly steal a Joey.
So small and fluffy I could just die.

Five Things I'm Currently Loving

1. Every song by Imagine Dragons and The Lumineers.
2. Living in the greatest place in the whole world - New York City.
3. Talenti Mediterranean Mint gelato.
4. The fact that my skin is dry, ashy, and practically transparent.
5. Bags of cheddar cheese popcorn the size of my entire body.
I'm an extremely healthy eater as you can tell.

Five Random Quirks I Have

1. My left eyeball is 1/3 brown and 2/3 hazel. It's a birthmark that started growing when I was little.
2. I don't like bread. Or anything doughy/floury for that matter.
3. I get really mad when people press elevator buttons after they've already been pressed. 
4. I have four less teeth than the average human.
5. Sometimes when I attempt to run my ankles completely give out and I wipe out on the ground.
Doctors thought I was going to go blind. Guess not....

  2. A) Your eye is freakin awesome B) how the hell didn't you go blind after taking that picture?! Also, the little joey is something I want to cuddle right now, haha.

  3. I have 4 less teeth than the average human too! My 12 yr molars have been coming in at a snail's pace since I was 16...I figure they will be out completely by the time I'm 35 and then I can consider myself an adult. A good thing about that is that I probably won't have to worry about wisdom teeth...

  4. Again, this post just validates that we are the same person. Except I love bread.

  5. Jumping on the eye bandwagon...that's awesome. My skin also hates winter:( and I am 34 and got carded buying a movie a target. I mean...really?

  6. I also have a freckle/birthmark on my eye, but not quite as big as yours. I would love to visit Australia with you, and I seriosuly lost it laughing with the last one! Can't tell you how many times I have randomly fallen down for no good reason.

  14. 1) please always put a random puppy pic in every post.
    2) Sweet Mint gum sounds gross.
    3) You should wear the tutu more often.
    4) I will steal a Joey with you as well.
    5)Where on earth do you get a bag of popcorn so big?!!?
    6) my mom had the same thing with one of her eyes and she was amazeballs so you are amazeballs by association. You're welcome.

  15. Okay seriously...how cool is your eyeball!

    And how lucky for you that you don't like bread!

    And finally, your puppy just made me squeel outloud! So adorable. :)

  22. Holy Shit Eruuuuuuuuun. So many comments I have to scroll through all so I can tell you that I've swam with Dolphins.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I wish I didn't like bread. I can only imagine all the carbs and calories this would save me. I'd be able to drink more beer!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I love that you did this! You are hysterical!!! That's so cool about your eye color!

    ReplyDelete
  25. The eye color quirk is pretty damn cool! I despise double button pushers. Just ugh!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love your duvet!!

    You haven't seen transparent skin until you've seen this Irish hot mess.

    Your eye is so cool!! And even cooler? I have the same issue. My left eye is 1/2 blue, 1/2 green. Except it's not quite as defined as yours. That is seriously cool.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I get carded for R rated movies too! Your eye is seriously crazy and seriously awesome...I'm jealous that you don't eat bread. Way to cut carbs. Also strange about the teeth thing. I guess you are just extra special!
