My 30 Day Blog Challenge. Which I will fail.

So I’ve been reading about this 30 day blog challenge all over the place… and since no one ever accused me of being original, I’m following in a kajillion of your footsteps and giving it a shot. Just like my good friend Marianna Annadanna, I WILL NOT be completing it in 30 days either, because that’s crazy talk and insane. I mean really, a blog post a day for 30 days?  IN A ROW? That would seriously cut into my drinking and socializing time and we can’t have that, no sireeeeee.

Truth be told, I just want to be cool and accepted a, so I’ll do whatever I can to keep up with this damn challenge. I am not one to back down (read: I win. You lose) from any sort of challenge either, as long as it’s something I can win at (read: everything) so here I am, and here it is. So when Day 2 comes around and I actually post it on Day 17, we can all agree that in some way I have won because that’s just how these things work mmm’k?

Day 1 you are supposed to post a recent picture of yourself, an introduction and 15 interesting facts about yourself. 15 huh? That seems a little excessive to me. I think the above can be pretty much defined as an introduction, but here goes my attempt at 15 interesting (subjective term, clearly) facts that y’all have been dying to know about me:

1. I am a twin. I am also the older of the two. You can decide from here who wins. AT EVERYTHING
2. I used to bite my toe nails. Didn’t grow out of it until I wasn’t physically ABLE TO do it anymore. I might have been 10, or 30. Can’t remember.
3. I have a slight case of OCD. Crooked pictures and odd numbers drive me batty. AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON SOCKS ON THE FLOOR
4. I like pie. Mostly pumpkin, but pie in general is pretty awesome
5. My daughter is an American citizen, I am Canadian
6. I once rode on a camel
7. I’ve been to Disneyland like 5 times. It holds zero excitement for me anymore
8. I shower exactly the same every day, in the exact same order. In fact, the length of my shower is almost always exact to the minute. Military precision.
9. I hate watermelon. Weird. But true.
10. My favorite number is 13 - the only odd number that doesn't annoy me. Weird. But true.
11. My daughter’s favorite number changes weekly. I think it’s 3 today.
12. My husband’s favorite number is 6
13. I chose to use all of our favorite number so I could be closer to 15 facts
14. Lists freak me out
15. The number 15 holds zero special meaning for me.

Here I am playing 'MOOSE'. I think I won that game.

Well I think that just about does it for Day One. I bet I get bored by the time I hit Day 7, which really just means that I probably won’t finish the whole 30 days, but hey…stranger things have happened and I could surprise even myself. Like I mentioned in my lists post a few days ago, they really aren’t my thing, so I am quite pleased with my progress in acting more like a ‘grown up’. I should, however, stop putting ‘grown up’ in quotations, but one step at a time right?

Day two frightens me. Meaning? Seriously? How about I was bored one day and this just kinda happened? *Sigh* It’ll take at least a week for me to make up something WAY MORE CLEVER that wont be true at all. Stay tuned. I guess.
