You Probably Didn't Know..

I love Helene and I love link-ups so when she announced a one-time link up called You Probably Didn't Know, I hopped on that faster than the 42nd Prez hopped on Monica.  Did I really just make that joke? I think I did. I'm actually writing this Monday night after a cup of coffee, so if that's offensive, #sorrynotsorry

- that I have a lot of siblings, but only one biological brother, the rest are technically step or halves. Not that I ever introduce them as such. 

-that I can only smell certain things and only if the smell is very strong. It's due to the scar tissue in my nasal cavity. 

-that I am very sweet and loving, but if you mess with my family, I won't throw the first punch so to speak, but I will throw the last. 

-that there are only two people I tell everything to and I wouldn't know what to do without either one of them, and I hope I don't find out what I'd do without either one of them for a very long time. 

-that I went to school for court reporting, but decided it wasn't for me. 

-that I really love my handwriting. 

-that I have plenty of tattoo ideas, I just need to figure out which one I want first & schedule an appointment!

what's something we probably don't know about you? 

Confessional.

I confess that I'm overly excited to go up to Bemidji for the weekend. After my hometown, Bemidji is my second favorite town. So many memories!

I confess that I talk to myself quite frequently when I'm by myself, is that normal?

I confess that I often drink coffee too late at night and then wonder why I can't sleep.

I confess that I'm surprised I've blogged every day this week, when last week it was a hot mess up in here.

I confess that I'm way more excited than I should be to get to eat at two of my favorite places tomorrow. Lunch date with Karen at Taco John's since we don't work together til Monday since I'm out of town and Dave's Pizza up in Bemidji for dinner with my aunt, uncle and cousins, it's a family-owned pizza place that both my mom and aunt worked at while they were in school.

I confess that I have become readdicted to Pinterest. & I'm the kind of pinner who goes through each person's pins and then on to the next person's. Because I'm weird like that.

What's something you're confessing?

To my Bestest.

Oh hey best friend,

So today's your birthday, yayyyy! For the next 9.5 months we will both be 23, so that's awesome!

I didn't have any overly pressing, overly exciting things to blog about, so you get a letter because it's YOUR BIRTHDAY!

Maybe next year we can hang out together for one of our birthdays, that would be pretty bomb.com yeah?

Thank you for never judging me when I text you things that a normal person that isn't you or I would judge us for, for always being there for me even if you're a state away.

I honestly couldn't imagine my life without you as my sidekick, hard to believe this our fourth year celebrating birthdays together & that we will have been friends for five years coming up in the fall.

For always being a better person to me than Cristina is to Meredith, for always being the Denise to my Claudia Joy, I love you and I really hope you have an ultra fantabulous birthday with HH.

& in true best friend fashion, your birthday present will be late, but I pinky promise it'll be worth it!

love you!

Meghan.

happy list [3]

I haven't done a happy list post in a while, so I decided what better way to combat a case of the Mondays than to make a list of things that make me happy & that I'm grateful for!

happy list number 3

my concert drought ends thursday//Moondance Country Jam is THIS week. To say I'm pumped is an understatement.

writing dates//when I have friends all over the country who love nothing more than to say hey let's write and text about it for an hour or two, makes my writer's heart very happy.

baby-back ribs//oh lordy. my work momma brought me some homemade ribs and I've had half of them & they were to die for!

my co-workers//we've had some changes up at the service desk. We promoted one & one of our own got promoted to a supervisory position, and like always there was a time of adjustment, & I think we're really working well together & if I didn't have such a great group of ladies up there, I would have surely gone crazy.

what's something that's making you happy today or this week?

linking up with emily & meg.

Golden Vlog: My Hometown.

I had a different post planned for today, but then I saw that the Golden Vlog was about hometowns, so I had to link-up because I big puffy heart where I live, is that weird?
