You think you know (me) but you have no idea…

by Nicole on February 4, 2011

The blog world is a weird place. We all read each other’s daily posts and feel like we know each other. Sometimes we even get a chance to meet and are pretty much instant friends.

So some of you may know me in “real” life…but if you don’t here’s what you probably should know about me.  And if we ever meet, you’ll be prepared to eat carrots, drive fast and not be offended by my off compliments.

1. I eat weird snacks. I have been known to take down an entire bag of baby carrots at a clip…..or an entire bag of string beans. I love vegetables. It may be strange and odd, but it’s true. I’ve always been a fan.

2. I buy something from amazon.com almost weekly..if not more. It’s my go-to place. Goji berries? check. New phone cover? check. Workout dvd? They have it all.

3. Going to the food store is fun for me. Okay maybe you knew that one.

4. I’m obsessed with white t shirts. Long sleeve and short, I can’t get enough. I’ve been known to accuse people of taking mine….and getting really mad about it, sorry sister.

5. I love cards….but it has to be Hallmark. I’ve been known to stand in the card aisle at CVS or a Hallmark store for awhile. If someone is with me, they usually monitor me to make sure I have a plan going into the store…no plan = hours lost + a lot of money spent.

6. I’m very sarcastic, which doesn’t always come across great. On the opposite end, sometimes I say things that come out very, very wrong…when I really mean well. Kind of like a back handed compliment…gone worse. You don’t even want examples….and please don’t email my sister, husband or mother to find out. Yikes.

7. I always have food on me because I melt down. No food within 30 minutes to an hour of being hungry….run away from me, fast.

8. I like to be home before it’s dark out….unless it’s it’s summer time. Then I don’t care when I get home. My husband calls it “Summer Cole”. Totally different person.  (Oh, 8.5 my family and friends call me Cole.)

9. I fall asleep on the couch 5 out of 7 nights a week. I also insist on picking out movies…and then fall asleep…every time.

10. I don’t get mad or annoyed easily, but I get pretty fired up over bad customer service, slow drivers and rude people in the food store. No patience for those people.

11. I thought I was going to be a teacher for my entire life since I was in elementary school. Now I feel very, very differently.

And that’s it. Now you really know me.

Happy Friday!

I’m right there with you on #2, 3, 8 and 9!! My husband gets so annoyed when I fall asleep during movies. I don’t think I make it more than 20 minutes into a movie before I’m sacked out!

What a fun post! Loved reading this and getting to know you better! And girl, I hear ya on the sarcastic thing. I’ve actually been working to quit being that way as much as possible (though it’s SO hard) ’cause I’m forever hurting people’s feelings when I don’t mean to!

You probably know this, but that last post was me… for some reason my blog didn’t come out right.

I WISH that I liked weird snacks like baby carrots or string beans. Sigh. That’ll be the day :)

hahahah we are SO much alike! I love going food shopping, I pick out movies and pass out, I really only buy Hallmark (but also like Papyrus, probably because they are $7 a card)… the only thing we don’t agree on is veggies. :)

Nicole February 6, 2011 at 7:17 pm

I actually love papyrus too, but they are expensive. Hallmark is my go to because it’s more available too.

Ha-love it! I’m super sarcastic too…happens to the best of us!

I love this! I’m also really sarcastic, but I have to be REALLY careful about it on the blog, because you’re right, it doesn’t always come across great! It’s not like you can see my eyes rolling while you’re reading one of my posts… I have to watch it.

I’m pretty impatient with people as well…especially with driving. But more than that, I can agree with you on the sarcasm thing. I’ve always been really sarcastic, but it comes out sounding really serious…probably not the best thing. :D haha.

#7 made me laugh! I’m the exact same way!

Andrea February 5, 2011 at 8:23 pm

I so get that cranky thing. I always have an apple and a bottle of water in my purse. OCD about it!

And is there such a thing as too many white shirts? I think not!

Heather February 6, 2011 at 10:15 am

I also have a strange addiction to amazon – I check it daily to see if any of the big ticket items I want (right now a bread maker) go down in price. Amazon prime was the best invention ever.

I always have a granola bar in my purse as well – I go from not crabby to crabby in about 10 seconds.

My husband falls asleep on the couch just about every night – I cannot do that.

Nicole February 6, 2011 at 7:16 pm

I’m glad I’m not alone with being obsessed with amazon!

Jess@atasteofconfidence February 7, 2011 at 5:58 pm

amazon is just SO convenient, isn’t it!
