The Facts of Laura the Caffeine Addict
Today I am linking up with the wonderful Whitney from I Wore Yoga Pants To Work (and if you have never read her blog, you NEED to; it's hilarious!)
So, here it is, The Facts of Me link-up!
- I hate being woken up for any reason other than having to get up for work or the house burning down. For the last 5-6 years, I have had a horrid time trying to fall asleep and an even harder time staying asleep, so getting unnecessarily woken up is one of my biggest pet peeves.
- I can't even remember the last time I went even a day without drinking coffee. Pretty sure there is coffee in my veins instead of blood, fo sho.
- When I get home from anywhere, the first thing I do is take off my jeans/jeggings (yes yes, I know...but they're so damn comfy!) and change into my sweatpants. Sometimes, I use the fact that I'm already in sweatpants as an excuse to not leave the house for the rest of the day.
- I am very much a homebody. I would much rather be curled up in bed with my dog and a good book (or, starting tomorrow, my nursing textbooks) than out partying at da club (does Milwaukee even have clubs? I don't even know).
- Also on the subject of my dog, I like my dog more than I like most people. I spend more time with him than anyone else in my life and he knows all my secrets (cue mystery music).
- I am obsessed with purses. I just cleaned out my stash and I have 12 Coach bags (yes, I have a problem) and recently added a Louis Vuitton Neverfull to my collection (that is my current favorite).
- I also love seeing what other people have in their purses. On PurseForum, there are whole threads in each sub forum (by designer, mostly) that are full of women sharing what is in their bags. Love it.
- I am completely addicted to Pretty Little Liars (yes, I know), Law and Order: SVU, and Once Upon a Time as well as all the Real Housewives franchises. What can I say, I'm a trashy reality TV junkie.
- I'm obsessed with organization. Buying office supplies is a guilty pleasure. Not ashamed.
- I love owning a home but I hate doing yardwork. Outdoorsy I am not.
- I love traveling and exploring new places; I dislike actually being on a plane. I'm not normally claustrophobic, but planes make me feel that way.
- I love reading books about fashion, but I'm probably one of the least fashionable people ever. That is why I never do outfit posts on this blog; all my outfits would be me in my sweats holding either coffee or a beer.
- I would never go back to owning any computer or phone that is not an Apple product.
- I danced (ballet, tap, jazz) for 14 years and because of that, I have osteoarthritis in my left knee.
- I've become quite the workout junkie in the past year and a half; also completed my first half marathon this past September.
- I have been married to my husband for two years (we've been together for five) and I still have yet to get him to put his dirty laundry in an actual laundry basket.
- I went to London and Paris in 2005 and it was one of the best experiences of my life; I can't wait to go back.
- I absolutely HATE winter, which is problematic since I live in Wisconsin. I keep telling B that we should have moved to Phoenix when we had the chance!
- I absolutely LOVE my job working with children that have traumatic brain injuries. I know it probably sounds depressing to most people, but watching a child re-learn how to walk/talk/eat/smile is just about the most rewarding thing ever.
- I think that people who abuse children and animals should have whatever they did to that child/animal done to them.
- I read like its my job. I have a hard time stopping when I'm in the middle of a really good book to do things like go to the bathroom and eat.
