25 things you might not have guessed about me.

I saw a post similar to this done by Emily at BeautyBroadcast.net, she also has a Vlog channel, and it was a tag video. You can watch her's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpfHuvdoYdY. I thought this was such a cool idea since most of the people who read my blog knows I went to nursing school, I earned by BSN, I want to be an NCLEX nurse, ect but unless you know me personally or met me in person you probably wouldn't have guessed half of the stuff on the list. I loved watching Emily's video and it was funny we had a few similarities I didn't know about nor what I have guessed. So here is my list of 25 things you may not know about me and may never have guessed!

1. I was born in a small little town in New Mexico and I have spent my entire life in New Mexico, I moved 6 hours south of my home town to attend college. 

2. When I was younger maybe like 3 I couldn't say my Ls so when I would say my name I would call myself Eddie not Ellie so the boys on the playground would play really rough with me. 

3. My mom never let me watch the TV show cops when I was younger but I was allowed to watch the theme song and I would sing along with it.

4. I have a sister that is 4 years younger than me. We don't look much but she lives in Florida. 
 
5. When I was little we had a hammock in our backyard, I used to put curlers in my hair tie a towel around my neck and swing in the hammock like it was a regular swing and pretend I was "Super Ellie"

6. I love make up and nail polish. Nursing school wouldn't let me paint my nails but I taught myself how to do nail art and I use youtube to learn make up (I'd love to take a professional make up course) I actually found Emily's channel on youtube when looking for make up tips.

7. I HATE bugs, spiders, snakes, frogs, lizards, anything like that. There was a frog outside my walkway in my complex a few weeks ago and it freaked me out! Just not a fan of creepy crawlies. 

8. I hate being hot when I sleep (Emily had this one too) I blast the AC and turn a fan on when I sleep and I still sleep with only a light sheet. I do not like being hot when I sleep. 

9. I love coffee and I am not a morning person, the only word I can think of is just ugh, I hate waking up really super early, I would so much rather stay up late. Starbucks in my savor, no really.

10. I can sew.....well kind of. Nothing crazy or extensive but I can sew to a certain extent. 

11. I'm crafty, I LOVE pinterest for getting craft project ideas and finding fun new projects to work on. I can't free hand draw to save my life though, I can't even draw a strait line without a guide. 

12. I hate unpainted toe nails, I know I'm weird, but I think a coat of polish on your toes makes a world of difference.

13. I love the sun and the heat (except when I'm sleeping). I'm not sure if there is a medical or scientific name for it but I love being in the sun and the heat. 

14. Bad drivers are my huge pet peeve, those people who you think did wal mart give you your license? yeah those are the drivers I really can't stand.

15. I dislocated my elbow when I was 17 during a wrestling match in my senior year in high school. I spent several weeks in a brace and competed in cheer competitions with my brace. 

16. Going off the last one, I cheered and wrestled when I was in high school and yes at the same time. I also played soccer in middle school and gymnastic when I was younger. And because of sports I can do a handstand push up

17. I've almost always had a job with kids, from a nanny to an after school teacher I think only 2 of my jobs weren't kid related. 

18. I love pregnant women, I know its weird, but babies and pregnant women are so exciting, I love pregnant bellies and feeling baby move, just the whole thing, and no I have never been pregnant. I also really love weddings!

19. My stethascope is a pearl pink and I spent the extra money and waited extra long to get it. It is my favorite part of my nursing (school) uniform. 

20. My very first crush was Aaron Carter, I think that was 13 or 14 years ago and yes I still find him attractive. 

21. I love everything southern, from sweet tea to country men (Dustin Lynch). I am very much hoping to get a job over near Tennessee or Kentucky.  

22. I am probably the only person my age to have seen Jerry Garcia perform while he was still alive, this is one of my dad's favorite bragging rights of me.

23. I have three tattoos and my belly button pierced. two elephants on my wrists and a leopard heart with a quote on my foot and my belly button Ive has since I was maybe 16 or so. I also have three holes in each ear but I only wear one set of earrings. I also pierced the top of my ear (cartilage) by myself when I was maybe 14 (don't ask me why) it got infected nearly a year later and closed.

24. I traveled to Europe when I was 14 and Australia/New Zealand when I was 12 as part of an ambassador program for the state of New Mexico

25. I had really long bright blonde hair till maybe 15 months ago, I chopped it off into an angled bob and died it caramel blonde. I hated dealing with long hair in nursing school so off it came.
