About Me

I am Greg's wife and Gabe's Mom, Bri. I have another blog, Gabe's Mom, in which I talk about my life as Gabe's Mommy. I thought since I'm enjoying this blog thing so much, that I'd have a blog dedicated to me! To my everyday life - as a mother, as a wife, a scrapbooker, photographer, etc... (things I may not always want to put on Gabe's blog - a "Debbie Downer" day or a day where I just need to vent!) So, here it is!

Thought I'd start out by providing a few things I love vs. a few things I really, really don't like:

LOVE:

• Family time - with my guys, my immediate family, & my in laws
• Reading - this is very relaxing for me - mostly books by Jodi Picoult, Barbara Delinsky, Nicholas Sparks, etc...
• Music - have to have it in the car - I'm old school. I don't buy music off of iTunes. There's something about having the CD case.
• People who love their kids and can say 'No' when they need to
• Hymns with altered arrangements
• Longaberger baskets - I know... pyramid company, but there's nothing like a new Longaberger basket smell, the wonderful liners, the new Wishlists that arrive in the mail...
• The sandwich maker. Awesome.
• Infomercials - only for kitchen appliances and scrapbooking stuff.
• My Cricut machine.
• The smell of a baby right after a bath and pj's.
• The sound of Gabe's laugh.
• The smell of Greg's colognes (Obsession, Dolce & Gabbana, & Drakar Noir)
• Planning - parties, showers, get togethers, meals, etc...
• Lists (hence the bullet list here)
• Ikea, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Archivers, Hobby Lobby

HATE (or Strongly Dislike, I'm not really a hater):

• Uptalkers - C'mon. Seriously. Does everything need to be a question?
• Closetalkers - I need my freakin' space.
• Getting a phone call to let me know that you have just sent me an email.
• Unflushed toilets
• Lights left on
• Washing bottles - Ugh
• Sci-Fi/Fantasy Stuff - Sorry, it bores me.
• Clothes shopping
• Sunburns
• Beets, squash, & pears

Random Things:

• I love to sing
• I have one tattoo
• I went to school to study audiology, but now work in accounting
• I am the oldest of 4 kids
• I love the shows House, Grey's Anatomy, Designed to Sell, 20/20, & Dateline
• I have an obsession with changing my blog design

Well, that's all you get for one day. Wanted to give you a glimpse of me before I started talking about my day to day issues! Happy Friday!
