1. I have a BA in History and Political Science. I like facts, quotes, and bibliographies. Blogging is the absolute opposite of anything I have ever done before when it comes to writing. I don't even have a diary between my mattress and box spring. (Who even keeps a diary anymore anyways?) So this blog is either going to be really good or really bad...you've been warned.
2. I live in Idaho Falls with my cat, Princess Kitty. Okay, she isn't a princess 90% of the time, but she sure thinks she is and my house is her kingdom. Pictures of the princess to follow.
3. I'm 5'5 and used to weigh an ungodly 120 lbs when I graduated from Oregon State in 2008. Yeah I was sickly skinny but considered "healthy" by most nutritional standards. Since then I have grown into my "womanly figure" as I call it, and weigh a curvy 143 lbs-ish. That's right readers, this girl has curves and is not afraid to rock my size 10 jeans.
4. I love to be outside, how I ended up with an office job is beyond me, but I try to be outside as much as possible when I'm not at work. Hiking, fishing, camping, biking, and especially geocaching are my favorite outdoor activities.
5. For those of you that read #4 and said "WTF is geocaching?" Here is your answer: It's geek speak for glorified treasure hunting. It involes you, a GPS, and the great outdoors. I will devote more time to this subject later, for now check out geocaching.com for the basics.
6. I LOVE TO EAT. I eat when I'm happy. I eat when I'm sad. I eat when I'm bored. I would literally eat all day long if I could. Which is why I packed on 20+ pounds after college. A more or less "healthy" 20 pounds by the way. I'm a total foodie, and if there was a Foodie Anonymous I would join.
7. While I love to eat, I pretty much HATE to exercise, unless it involves geocaching that is. Sure I love the cute work out clothes and the feeling I get AFTER I work out, but planning my day around a workout kills me. Exercise is an unfortunate but necessary evil, period.
8. I'm single. That's right. I'm 25 and while all of my friends are getting married and having babies I am still stuck in the dating world. Which is a good thing I guess, but really sucks when you show up solo to weddings.
9. Since I couldn't find a Foodie Anonymous meeting, I joined weightwatchers online instead. It's been four weeks and I have yet to lose any weight. Not that I'm trying to slim way down, 135 lbs is what I'm ultimately shooting for, but I'd settle for 137-140lbs. I love weightwatchers, it's a great program, but seriously the Jennifer Hudson commercials have got to go.
10. Finally, I love to shop....so here's hoping that weightwatchers and the gym will get me into those size 8 jeans that have been taunting me from the closet for over a year.
