Who I Am

I decided that it was time to update my About Me page and after three days of the opposite of inspiration and researching other bloggers’ About Me pages I’m throwing in the towel and coping out with a random list. Enjoy.

1. I’m Kelsey, the Air Force wife.
2. I’ve been married for 5 years to a seriously gorgeous man who is a Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force.
3. We’re finally, truly ready for kids, but we’re holding off until we return to the States.
4. While I was staying with my parents last fall my dad found me a free puppy. Bravo is a Schipperke/American Eskimo mix.
5. I don’t know if I’ll ever develop a career. I’m looking forward to being a mom and continuing to be a wife. If I have to get a job somewhere in there I just refuse to ever work food service again. It’s my family that defines me, not my job.
6. I play the flute and feel an incomparable sense of freedom when I perform. At one time in my life I could also play piccolo, drums, piano, and bass guitar but I haven’t touched any of those instruments in so long I couldn’t tell you what my current capabilities are.
7. I’m somewhat afraid to share my random, mildly embarrassing hobbies; couponing, digital scrapbooking, and most recently, crocheting.
8. I’m not afraid to tell you what I really think of those f**king Indians who work in customer service. They piss me off way more than telemarketers. I think the next time I get a call from a real life, American telemarketer I might actually listen politely and then thank them instead of telling them to go f**k their mothers like I normally do.
9. Aaron Lewis hugged me.
10. I drink water to stay hydrated, vanilla lattes & razzmatazz Jamba Juice as a treat, wine with dinner, beer with friends, margaritas for fun, and tequila shots when I wanna get drunk.
11. I’ve been to 13 countries (USA, Mexico, Canada, UK, Luxumbourg, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Greece, and Spain).
12. I am obsessed with brand new office supplies. When Back-To-School season comes around I can barely keep myself from buying a bunch of notebooks and fun colored pens.
13. I’m slightly addicted to Hollister Co. and A&F even though their clothes are made in crappy countries like Taiwan so stitches are constantly coming loose making the clothes not really worth what I paid for them.
14. I blame my husband for my love of purses. Before we were married I put things in my pockets, but somehow he turned me into a girl. It started small and then he began handing me things to carry and now I’ve developed an expensive desire for Coach purses.
15. For some reason I can’t handle heels over 3 inches. I would take a comfy pair of Vans over heels anyway.
16. I love breakfast. I love breakfast for dinner. I love brunch. I love cereal as a bedtime snack. Please don’t ever tempt me with waffles, you may not survive.
17. Peter Petrelli has the best superpower because he can have any power and doesn’t have to hurt anyone. It just sucks when it backfires and he almost blows up New York or turns into a kinda sorta crazy killer after taking Skyler’s weird tick tock power. Anyway, I think I would want to have Matt Parkman’s mind reading power. I have a big issue with liars and I would rather know the truth right way.
18. My biggest pet peeves are being interrupted and being lied to. And I’m not talking the little white lie your husband tells when you whine about the really obvious red pimple on your forehead, I mean the lies that people tell to try to make themselves look better. Don’t tell me that you were a Navy SEAL at 20, but decided to join the Air Force to be a desk jockey. Don’t tell me that you were the lead singer of Yellowcard and gave it up just before they hit big. Don’t tell me that you were a Hollister model. I won’t believe you and you’ll just be put in the Douche category. No cool parties for you.
19. I LOVE red. My hair is red (naturally), my nails are red, and my favorite purse is red. It’s attention grabbing and tends to say “hey fucker look at me!” which sometimes encompasses my personality.
20. Don’t even talk to me about pink. I stay away from pink. Any pink. And memo to dudes…unless you’re gay you don’t belong in pink either. Stop it.
21. Tulips are my favorite flower.
22. I usually fall asleep in the car. Not when I’m driving though.
23. I love Christmas. I love shiny ornaments, twinkling lights, a tastefully decorated tree, cooking for friends and family. It’s all just so comforting.
24. I can’t stand artificial grape flavor.
25. The Princess Bride is my favorite movie. “As you wish.” *sigh*
26. I enjoy working out. I try to do yoga almost every day. I usually run 2-3 miles on an inclined elliptical at the base gym.
27. I’ve never smoked a cigarette. Not one.  Ever.
28. I get claustrophobic on public transportation. I hate having my bubble invaded without permission.
29. I love watching football alone with Matt. He is so patient with me and doesn’t mind explaining things I don’t understand.
30. I haven’t won anything since the giant Christmas sock at Burger King. I was 8 years old. Would anyone else agree that I’m due for some luck?
31. I’ve never broken or sprained anything.
32. Mmmm Sonic. There’s nothing quite like the bacon toaster cheeseburger, tots, and a cherry limeade.
33. It really bothers me when white people act too much like black people. Pull up your pants, wear some clothes that fit you, and take the stickers off your hat.
34. My favorite word is probably fabulous. My husband might argue by saying it is “like” but that is my filler word. It doesn’t count.
35. Internet people, please do me a big favor and figure out the difference between you’re and your. Also realize when it’s appropriate to use two O’s in too.
36. Sticking with the grammar topic…though I don’t often text I can’t bring myself to do it in short form. I won’t write u2 or ur, but I love things like ROFLMAO.
37. I love onions on everything. One of my favorite side dishes is stir fried bell peppers and onions in Kraft Zesty Italian dressing.
38. I love to cook. I like experimenting with flavors and trying new recipes. My parents are pretty impressed with my culinary skills considering when I left home 6 years ago my fortes were in boxed mac ‘n’ cheese and toast.
39. I’ve never been skinny dipping.
40. When I’m honestly laughing at something my nose crinkles.
41. I have difficulty dealing with our families.  There is just too much to handle sometimes.
42. I have irrational fears of cancer, flying over the ocean, and being abandoned by the people I care about the most.
43. I haven’t been in a fight since the 7^th grade, but most of my friends have said they would put money on me in a chick fight.
44. I consider myself a Christian. I believe in a higher power, I believe that there is a purpose, I believe in fate. I don’t think that a person has to attend church to believe.
45. I don’t leave home without Matt’s heart, a small glass heart he picked out for me at the Stained Glass Museum in Ely, UK.
46. I hate zombies. A lot. They always try to eat me.
47. I’ve walked away unscathed from 3 major car accidents. I always wear my seatbelt.
48. Matt and I have a great motto. Go big or go home. That’s how I ended up with the 5.7 HEMI in my Jeep, how he ended up with the sports car he wanted, and how we are about to buy our first home.
49. My favorite quote is by Erich Fromm. “Immature love says ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’”
50. I am truly happy with the life I have.
