Okay so my sister Britta and my sister Brooke tagged me to do this sillly 7 random things about me. Seeing that are probably the only ones that read this none of the stuff in here will be too shocking but here we go
1. I am freaking out about turning 40. Yes... this is stupid and shallow...but for some reason i have really been freaking out about turning 40. Its like now im old and i dont want to be old...i want to be young and fun and hot.. and not old and dumpy and gross... Okay so not all old people are dumpy and gross...I am exagerating but these are the things that I am freaking out about
2. I am a people person.... I like hanging out with people and socializing. I would have my neighbors/ friends over 3-4 times a week and probably really never get tired of it. I like hanging out with people.
3. THis is related to number 3 but I like having parties but have serious stress about organizing them. If its just a come over and have drinks and we will order pizza ect... i am fine..but if there is expectation that im a "hostess" not that im a bad one it stresses me out.
4. I like Rock Band... So again this relates to 2 and 3 but if you have never played Rockband2 it is very fun. We have Rockband2 and 4 people can play.. 1 person plays guitar, bass, drums and vocals. They have awesome music in there because you can pick oldies like " White Wedding"....or they have System of a Down and Linkin Park ect... very cool.... very fun... especially when you have friends over..
5.My kids watch waay too much TV. Im not sure what to do about this one. My husband is a "TV is a baby sitter" person and I am forever telling them im turning off the TV and that they need to go outside and play. It usually doesnt work, and i have arguments...and then a conversation with myself that all this arguing is not worth it.
6. I wish i was more intellectual. Okay so Im not dumb but, my brain does not retain any "smart" "intellectual" type facts...both my sisters have those smarty type brains and sometimes have conversations where I am like...you gotta be kidding me... you actually think about this. Stuff like that does not happen in my brain... Im not sure what is in there but its not smarty stuff
7. I am a fashion retard.... I like to look nice... and dress up for work ect... but I cannot put an outfit together by myself to save my life. I hate stores like TJ Max ect.. where stuff is super cheap but you have to look through racks and racks of clothes to find the perfect shirt to go with some other pair of pants... NOT for me... I want to go somewhere and I am going to buy what they have put on the manican... i dont know what looks good with what...really...?

If you are a fashion retard then I don't know what that makes me. Seriously, every time I have to look respectable for any reason, I do an assessment of my wardrobe and discover that almost everything I own looks like it was stolen from a homeless person.
Also: I hear 40 is the new 30. Or possibly even 25, depending on what decade you're comparing it to.
So I know when I look nice and what I like I just cant put it together on a whim. I always wear the same combinations. I really have a hard time buying shirts... I could buy pants forever...but shirts are a quandary for me. Im not sure if is because there are so many different styles but I have a hard time buying shirts
I'm afraid some of your fashion sense (or lack thereof) is inherited. As you know, my fashion sense is pretty much non-existent - sorry about passing that on. I also need to see something on display in a store to know what to purchase. It's like the old saying about art that says "I don't know what is or isn't good art, I only know what I like."
As to the intellect part, I've learned that I have to evaluate what I'm good at (what I know about) and then concentrate on that. We all can have opinions on anything, but few of us (myself in particular) really only know about a few things. I often fall into the trap of getting outside my areas of knowledge, and then I really get into trouble.
Okay, So I have always thought of you as the "fashionable" one of us. Britta is more of a "quirky" dresser (not meant in a bad way Britt)and I just look the same all the time with no sense of fashion only functionality. Kind of like a polyg but they even have a "style" of which I have none. Also, there is no brainiac here. I think of weird things because my brain thinks of weird things. Britt is the one whose brainy-ness blows me away.
