The Welcome Wagon has arrived!

When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but new followers reading my posts up in here!

And I feel it's only right that you know what you're getting into by clicking that little Join this site button. I've just gotta be honest ~ I'm that girl.

Oh, yeah, I'm that girl. Guilty as charged!
Yeeeeks. Nice handlebar.
No, not the drunk girl. Not all the time.
So, what girl, you ask?
Well, besides the one who wears a soft, fluffy, cozy, brand new gray jacket with black pants and walks around like this all day?
Momma tried to teach me shame. I didn't have my listening ears on.

I'm the girl...

Who pours hot sauce on everything, and then complains it's too hot.
~   ~   ~
Who creepily smiles at every baby in the grocery store. 
I think they're cute. Their mom thinks I'm a babynapper.
"Are you by chance on the hunt for a babysitter? If so, I'm available to stay home alone with your infant child!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~   ~   ~
Who dances wildly while driving alone. Bonus points if I get caught by a random stranger and make them feel awkward.
~   ~   ~
Who always changes something in her restaurant order. I've probably consumed more spit in my food than I will ever know.

"Can I please get the fettucine alfredo, but with marinara sauce instead of cream, angel hair pasta instead of fettucine, add broccoli and mushrooms, and extra parmesan cheese on top."
"Oh, so you want a veggie spaghetti with no meatballs?"
"No, I want the fettucine alfredo but not really the fettucine alfredo at all. Wasn't I clear?"
~   ~   ~
Who weighs 100 pounds soaking wet, but drives an SUV as big as a house.
~   ~   ~
Who gives names to inanimate objects.
My crock pot is named Agnes.
I have a loud, crazy, snazzy dining room chest named Flo.
~   ~   ~
Who tried to run "for real" once in a 5K. And failed miserably.
The course was mismarked and we all ended up running more of a 3.5K. I still wanted to eat seven bananas and demanded a massage.
Zumba or bust.
~   ~   ~
Who feels like a criminal walking out of a store without purchasing something. I possess a lot of unnecessary and unwanted items.
~   ~   ~
Who smells every bottle of soap in Bath & Body Works, and then buys yet another bottle of Sweet Pea to add to the 12-bottle collection I have at home.
~   ~   ~
Who loves puppies more than most humans.
But really, how could I not?!

So, did ya learn more about me? A little insight? A little behind-the-scenes peek?
A little freaked out, maybe?

But really, this post can be summed up in one word...
FIERCE.
I'm the girl who is So. Freakin. Fierce.

Linking up with Helene, Emily, & Sybil for Tell Me About It Tuesday!

Oh, I'm right there with on the spit in food ordeal. My favorite is "I'd like a caesar salad, but without the caesar dressing." They always look at me like I'm a nutcase. Sorry, not sorry ;)

Ashlyn said...

Haha no worries, I am a terribly picky eater and always making modifications to the order.

Ashley Robyn said...

I love me some sweet pea and my sweet friend. Happy Tuesday.

Rachel Silski said...

Sistergirl I love you. That is all!

First of all, love the doggie pic! Plus, I feel the same way about humans. Also, I may or may not have thought I saw the word "Disney" on that table beside you in the picture - and then lifted my laptop up to my face so I could read it. Yup, it did! (I <3 that you <3 Disney! Woohoo!)

Nadine Mathews said...

I think you win on the FIERCE photo, just saying!

Kate said...

Hahahaha. I love this! I can never order directly from the menu. Picky Eaters unite!

Whitney @ I Wore Yoga Pants said...

AGNES THE CROCKPOT. I'm just going to go obsess over this right now.

Sami said...

I die. Just dead. We have so much more in common than I ever thought and I'm obsessed. Dance parties in the car!!

ty said...

As a former server, I would have shamed you.

Juuuuuust kidding.

(but not really)

Erin said...

I am so ashamed that I haven't named my crockpots, I have two of them! They MUST have names so they don't get confused with each other!

And you already know about me and my creepy baby stalking. Jared tells me all the time I'm weird when I keep waving or smiling to random children in public hahaha!

Wine and Summer said...

hahaha! This is amazing! I am the same with shopping. I cannot not buy something. It's becoming a serious issue!

Kat@shop.school.sleep. said...

hahaha!! I have the same problem with black...sad thing my lint roller is RIGHT NEXT to the door, but I just ignore it!! I love hot sauce!! bring on the spicy, burn my mouth and throat and upper stomach on!! Dogs/ Cats are way better than humans most of the time!! Is it bad to say I would rather donate/ volunteer at an animal shelter than a human-homeless one? And I love your Fierceness!!

Things are just better with a name. I feel like a criminal leaving a place without buying something too.

Danielle Carroll said...

Haha...we are twins!!

I too dance wildly in my car when I'm alone and I don't give a damn who sees.

Wore a band new cozy yellow sweater with black pants...you know what happened.

Name inanimate objects..My cell phone's name is Florence, my expresso machine is Max, my car is Gracie when she's good and Bertha when she's bad, and I have a stuffed horse named Todd.

And obviously , I love puppies more than humans..pretty much always :)

Shelley said...

i do the same thing with candles.. smell every single one and then buy the scent i always buy!

and i'm such a picky eater too, but i try to order the most basic thing on a menu because i'm terrified someone will spit in my food! lol

Misty said...

I'm pretty picky when I order my food, but I think you've got me beat. I eat stuff very plain. I want this, but please leave these 3 ingredients off the top. K, thanks!

The whole baby thing happened to me the other day! Your baby smiled at me first, sorry I smiled back *promise I'm not crazy* haha. Definitely been caught dancing in the car, I have no shame dance parties are the best on 3 hour car rides back to college! I wish I could be like you and change my order, I'm always scared to do it so I end up taking out whatever I don't like. Teach me your ways!

I used to drive my hubbies "jacked up" pick up and I felt very powerful hahaha
