I Caved

I have some free time on my hands and I have been tagged a ton of times on fb, so I finally decided to cave and to tell you all 25 random things about me. Here we go...


1. I love coke. Every day at work I have a coke and carmel rice cakes at exactly 10am. The people around me always know when 10 rolls around when they hear the pop of the coke can opening...it is like clockwork.


2. Reality TV is my favorite. Some of my faves include: So You Think You Can Dance, Project Runway, Amazing Race, Top Chef, The City, and the list goes on...


3. I am a VIP Hilton Honors member. This sounds more important than it really is. I have had to travel a lot for work lately, but the perks equal a ton on Hilton points.


4. I love to negotiate. This is one of the reasons I think sales is such a great job for me. I get great joy in haggeling prices and getting a deal (which btw, you can negotiate and get more Hilton points...that is how I got VIP status :)


5. Most of my groups of friends have some sort of name. Examples include: Core Four, Tri, Half House.


6. I pick out all my clothes for the week on Sunday. I have to iron a bunch for work and got tired of ironing every night, so now I just do it all at once on Sunday. It makes life much easier.


7. Sometimes I talk out loud what I am typing. I don't even realize I am doing it. Sometimes people at work think I am crazy b/c it seems as though I am talking to myself, but they have gotten used to it :)


8. I love playing cards. Everytime I go home I always play gin with my dad and have finally gotten good enough to beat him! I also love poker (even though I am awful at it).


9. Sandwiches are my favorite lunch food. Every day for lunch for the past coupld of years I eat a turkey sandwich with colby jack cheese and 7 grain honey wheat bread...it is delicious!


10. I am not very decisive. When choosing which college I would go to, I had deposits and both Baylor and A&M, and didn't decide on Baylor until May of my senior year (I am VERY pleased with my decision)


11. My sense of direction is not the best. I finally got a gps for Christmas and it is definitely one of the best/most needed gifts that I have ever gotten.


12. I made Mrs. Adams quit National Honor Society. Not really, but I did turn in my group's adopt a family gifts a day late and she yelled at me and said that she was quitting NHS, then that year she did. That is the only time I ever remember a teacher yelling at me.


13. I used to want to be a teacher when I grew up. I still think that I could be a teacher in a couple of years, but I like sales too much to change careers right now.


14. Even though I wanted to be a teacher I think that I was meant to be in sales. When I was little I used to set up a table and put all of my stuff that I didn't want anymore and used to sell it to my brother...I guess I started early.


15. I had the same birthday as my first dog. His name was Casey and he lived to be 17...I loved that dog but love my current dogs just as much! I want to get a dog of my own but travel too much to have one right now.


16. I love living in Florida but my heart will always be in Texas. Hopefully I will be back to the lone star state very soon!


17. Disney World is one of my favorite places in the world. My family has a bit of an obsession with this place...so far I have been 3 times in the past year...definitely one of the perks of living in Florida!


18. Going to the movies is one of my favorite things to do. In high school, Ash and I would go almost every weekend and we would get there early enough to sit in the middle seats in the middle of the theatre (middle middle as we like to call it). We are pretty much professional movie goers.


19. I am a very picky eater. Almost everything I eat is plain. I don't really like condiments (except butter which I love) but I think that makes things simple.


20. I don't wear contacts but I talk about them all day. I did try them on however so I could feel which ones are the best. Someone else did have to put them in for me b/c my eyes just couldn't stay open long enough for me to get it in.


21.I love my car. Ever since I was 13 I wanted a bug (I even used to have a poster hanging in my room...sad, I know).

22. I am a terrible singer...but have accepted that and continue to sing a lot anyways :)

23. I have a star named after me. My grandma bought a star for all the grandkids and I even have a certificate to prove it!

24. I love to the office. At work we have office quotes posted outside of our cubes. I think this show is genious!

25. I have the best family and friends ever!

From one Amy to Another-
Thank you for keeping up with your blog! I thought your 25 was very entertaining. I especially liked #4 and the fact that you can't sing! It brings back so many great memories! Hope to see you soon!
