Shelly's Intro

Maybe I don't need to do this, since you all know more about me already than is probably necessary or needful but since I asked you to do it, I'll do it too. I'll try to share some things you may not know about me (which is a little tricky considering my mom will read this...)

- I love to try new foods- thanks to my husband. I used to order the same thing every time I'd go out to eat or I'd make the same things over and over (which wasn't too hard considering I knew how to make roughly 3 things before I got married) but now I like to branch out a little. Unless I'm at Costa Vida: Nothing's getting in the way of me and my Sweet Pork Salad.

- My favorite color is pink. Ok. Pretty sure everyone knows that one.

- I'm a huge fan of the game/app '7 Little Words'

- Sweeping the floor is my least favorite household chore and therefore gets neglected quite regularly. There's usually no question about where the 2 year old in the family sits. Pretend not to notice next time you're over, ok?

- I used to be terrified of calling strangers on the phone (dentists, doctors, insurance poeple...) but I'm getting much braver since I don't really have a choice in the matter.

- I have a huge need for validation which was a little rough for me once I stopped being able to get it from teaching. My two year old and newborn aren't much for thanking me for how clean the floor is (on the rare occasion that it is).

- I LOVE reading comments on my blog and sometimes consider removing everyone from the reader list who doesn't leave a comment every once in a while. It's not a thought I'm proud of but sometimes it crosses my mind anyway.

- I have a pretty awesome embarrasing story about Wheelchair Hill. Ask me to tell you about it sometime.

Well, there you go. A little more about me. I'm excited to learn more about you guys too although you're welcome to stick to the well-known facts about yourself if you'd like, since most people on this blog won't even know those. Hope to hear from you soon.
