We’re Getting Personal: 20 Things You Didn’t Know About Me

I’m not one that shares a lot about my personal life. Most of my articles are personal but more so regarding things I’m passionate about. Like creating a world for those of us that are inbetweeners. It’s not often I divulge details on my personal dating or family life. Personal quirks or vices. Things that make my heart flutter or my skin crawl. Perhaps you want to know more about whose behind these pictures and words. Or maybe you don’t. Either way, here are 20 more things you didn’t know about me!

1. The first thing I notice about people is their teeth.

2. I hate sleeping in. I feel like I waste the day.

3. My parents are still married. 40 years and counting.

4. Shopping for clothing/shoes/accessories makes me the happiest. It’s my drug of choice.

5. My love language is physical touch, words of affirmation and receiving gifts.

6. I’m a hopeless romantic.

7. I’m a list maker. If I don’t make a list, it will be forgotten.

8. My favorite foods are Italian, Indian and Thai. Nothing spicy, of course.

9.. I’m old fashion when it comes to dating. I like to be courted. Love when someone is assertive.

10. I love watching Jeopardy at 7pm. My great grandmother used to do the same thing.

11. My nickname in college was LB. The first week of orientation, I went to the outside courts with the guys to play a little pickup. I must have hit a shot and left my hand up a little too long. “It’s LB…it’s Love and Basketball!”

12. I’m a God fearing woman.

13. I rarely lose or misplace things.

14. I love going to sporting events. Basketball (obvi), football, hockey, golf. Hate watching baseball on TV but love the atmosphere at a game.

15. Live music is food to my soul.

16. I play golf. I come from a huge golfing family. My brother has the course record and my mom, dad and brother all have won the Club Championship. I grew up watching them play, always trying to increase the swing speed. We didn’t have any golf launch monitor like the ones you get from Uneekor that can measure every aspect of the ball at impact. It would have really helped them though. My uncle was a touring Pro and now is a pro at a golf club in Florida. We play golf on Thanksgiving day, regardless of how cold it is. The only thing that would stop us is if there was snow covering the ground. Although, on saying that, not even that would be able to stop us. Especially if we had access to something like this skytrak golf simulator that you can set up in the comfort of your own home. I’m definitely up for that idea. Who knows, it may be my chance to show just what I’m made of on the course.

17. I really, really dislike when women are cruel and unkind to other women.

18. I’m a terrible, no good, very bad liar. I’m not sure I could, even if I tried. The thought of lying gives me anxiety. It’s wild how easy it is for others.

19. I’m obsessed with travelling. There’s so much of this world that I can’t wait to see.

20. Places that I’d like to travel to: Montana, Arizona, Wyoming, Greece, Indonesia, Morocco, Thailand and Iceland to name a few. Out of all of these locations, the one that I am most likely to visit next is Iceland! A friend of mine is currently organizing a road trip around Iceland and she has invited me to come along with her. She has already started looking at a car rental in iceland so who knows, I could be off to visit Iceland very soon! Road trips are a great way to explore a country as you get to travel at your own pace. Plus, if you hire a campervan instead, then you don’t have to get back to a hotel at night. This gives you complete freedom and control over your travels – you’ll be able to see parts of the country which most tourists miss! I know this is possible because I’ve read about it on https://www.rent.is/. That is not all though; I’d also love to go skiing in Switzerland, hiking in Utah and sightseeing on a boat around Italy. Can you tell how much I love travelling?
