Just me.

Now that I have a few more readers, I figured now would be a good time to tell a little more about myself! Below are a few random facts. If you want to do the same, please do!  I'd love to know more about you guys too!

- I grew up by the ocean in a little town called Newquay. My goal is to one day live by the ocean again!  I'm determined to find a little town similar to Newquay, in the States.  Any ideas? (My Husband is convinced that it looks like Southern California where he is from.  I'm thinking it might be a ruse to get me to move there though!)

Yes!  This really is in England!

- I'm addicted to coffee. Seriously, it's bad. If I don't have at least 2 cups of REALLY strong coffee with motor oil properties, within half an hour of waking up, that's me done for the day.  Shakes, headache, the whole shebang.

It's true.

- It bugs the crap out of me that I smoke and can't quit. I'm a strong willed person who can do anything that I put my mind to, except quit cigarettes!  I can't afford to smoke, yet I panic at the thought of quitting.  I have smoked for 18 years. (Yes, I'm only 30. Disgusting, huh?) They just need to stop selling them.  Then I'd have to quit.  Or you'd see me being dragged out of an illegal smoking den, kicking and screaming. (because I'm SURE there would be!) Who knows.

This will not be me.



- I have a rare split birthmark that spreads the whole way up my right arm, from my wrist to my shoulder. The funny thing about it is, it wasn't actually there when I was born... It appeared when I was 18 months old... When I was a kid, it looked as though I had cigarette burns up my arm. When I was 13, I was contacted by a specialist in some fancy private hospital in England who wanted me to be his guinea pig. He wanted to test out his shiny new laser machine, he was pretty sure he could get rid of it. After 6 sessions of what felt like someone splashing hot oil all up my arm, they did actually fade a bit. Now that I am older and my skin has stretched, they look a lot more like bruises. My Husband is constantly getting evil looks. I have no idea what the medical terminology is for this, I'll have to ask my Mum... She had to get a doctor to write a note to take to school to prove I wasn't being beaten!!

That's all I can think of for right now! I'm going cross eyed at the moment because I am so tired! I am off to the land of nod. :)

Have a great night and thanks for stopping by!

    1. I'm happy to have met you too and that we have shared vices, lol! If I quit the cigarettes, I'm going to have to quit the coffee too because they go hand in hand with me. If that day happens, people are gonna need to run! Fast! Haha.

  2. You two are funny! I smoked for 10 years and thought I loved it! But I will tell you that I read, Alan Carr's Easy Way to stop smoking ( i should do a review on this book) anyway, I was able to quit by the last page. He actually tells you to keep smoking the whole time you are reading it. Anyway, pick up the book ladies! You will be so happy you are not smoking anymore! :)

  5. My best friend growing up had a birthmark that looked like a bruise. Doesn't sounds like it's as big as yours though. But I remember I used to have to explain to people it's not a bruise she has had it like her whole life ;).

    1. Haha, yeh, I don't even notice it anymore. People remind me of it all the time though! They look at me in a very concerned way! As though I am being beaten, but don't want to say anything...
