This post was fun! Made me smile. 😄
It was really fun! I'm saving… just in case.
I did not know that you used to be an assisted management of an apartment community. Me too! I did residential management 6 years in Atlanta. That is why I moved around so many different areas of town. Your four movies you have seen more than once? Yeah, those are some of my favorites! I am just confused as to why you and I aren't somewhere eating sushi for one of the places you'd rather be 😛
What a cute idea! Love getting to know more about my favorite bloggers 🙂
Isn't Athens, GA a beautiful place, I think this is the first time I've seen someone in blogland acknowledge such.
Gush?? haha that's an interesting one. And I love all of the 4 things you don't eat. Will definitely have to post one of these 🙂
This is such a cute post! I didn't know you used to make and sell cupcakes! Was it your own business or in a bakery working for someone else?
Clueless is often forgotten I feel, but it was such a huge part of my adolescence. I watched it a few months ago and was amazed at how much of it I could still quote (my memory is terrible, but those lines are ingrained). I was also amazed that I was allowed to watch it when I was 10, but hey….
Oh Romy & Michele! At one point in my life I pretty much had that entire movie memorized 😉
10 Things I Hate About You and Clueless are 2 of my classic faves! Also, I don't eat peppers or coconut either 😉
hahaha I always say to my cats 'who's a pretty girl? are you a pretty girl? you're a pretty girl' and it used to drive my husband nuts but now he does it too lol.
i LOVE coconut – and by peppers do you mean hot peppers or like green and red 'sweet' peppers? it confuses me because we call them capsicums and they aren't really sweet… but i hate hot peppers. so.. just curious lol.
I'm sad, all the foods you hate are some of my favorite foods, and all the foods you love I don't like…haha! Well, except sushi – I do like sushi. Also, I love Last Man Standing (Tim Allen 4 life, yo) and I want to hear more about this cupcake baking/decorating/selling job!
A former advertising account exec – go you!! A wedding in Charleston – that will be so much fun! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
We're so obsessed with Shark Tank! My husband has to pitch investors for his company in a couple weeks so we talked a lot about it over the weekend. He has no formal business training, and although I think he's pretty business savvy, honestly most of his expertise is from watching Shark Tank haha!
Glad you posted this – so fun getting to know you a little better 🙂
This was such a fun post! I love coconut and cranberries but I'm with you on greek yogurt!
Haha love it!!! Clueless is a great movie, along with The Notebook. Although Romy & Michelle's HS reunion was pretty good too. I don't mind coconut in a chocolate candy, but otherwise its like eating hair to me. Chris is also allergic to coconut. I hope that you're having a good day so far too!!
Oh how I love french fries, I had some for lunch today.
Dropping this in my arsenal of blog ideas too 😉 yes please to FRIENDS and lots of French fries!
Sushi is delicious.
You lived in Charlotte? I'm going there for a conference in September. Please tell me all the good places I need to go (or, the places I can't miss in the 3 1/2 days I'm there because the conference is really an excuse to drink and sightsee)
athens! woot woot! i'm currently a nanny. cupcake decorating sounds kinda awesome!
I love this idea!! I'm totally filing it away in the 'future blog post idea' section of my mind. YES to Friends! And also, asking the dog rhetorical questions…I do that all the time. "Are you such a good boy?" is my go-to, haha.
Ha! This is so fun! I want to do one now 🙂 I've seen those movies a ton as well. Love your favorite foods. French fries are top of my list as well! haha
Clueless is a classic! I'll never get sick of that movie!
Yes for Sushi. So need to visit NC one day. My cousin lives there…ugh, I have become a lazy travel lover. And yes to Friends. I can never get enough of this show. I did this post too when I felt most uninspired…kind of a fun way to share some things, no?!
