Well since I have been writing this blog for nearly two years, I honestly anticipated this post would have come long ago, but as we all know I can be a bit of a slacker, and there fore I am FINALLY making my 90th post!!! Yup, this little blog of mine has come a long way in the past couple of months and my post count is finally nearing the triple digits!!! So as a form of celebration (and because I have nothing better to write) I have decided to celebrate by posting 90 totally random facts about none other than me... So, while this post will be more than just slightly narcissistic, I hope you enjoy... Of course I am too lazy to look back and see what random facts I have already posted about myself when winning 7 Liebster awards (yes I am that awesome) so some of these may potentially be (ummm probably will be) repeats but bare with me, and enjoy the craziness that is.... ME!!
I am going to start of simple (umm boring) for those that are faint of heart, and hopefully by the end of this list you won't be thinking "man that is one crazy chic" or maybe you will... But either way, you will for sure know me a little better, so what ever your thoughts my be, I think my goal for my 90th post celebration will be accomplished, unless of course you skip reading the list, so don't skip the list : )

For a minute there on some of those I thought you were talking about me. I've had my hair hot pink and orange before. orange was by accident. Glad I'm not the only one who colors their hair wild colors. I wanna go completely rainbow one day. I'm random too. and am a child at heart and will be forever. Alot of the others I can relate too as well. Those were great facts. Not sure I could do that. LOL but i'm sure I could if I tried. come stop by one day when you get a chance. hope the move go well when it gets to that time and hope things are going great in your life. Pink is my fave color too. come to think of it that's why i like your back ground so much.

It's really cool that we have so many similarities
DeleteYou've only worn a dress twice?! What?! I wear them all the time...even on weekends. They are so much more comfortable than shorts or pants because they're not restricting and they don't dig into my fat belly. It allows for maximum eating.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young, I too wanted to be a lawyer. Now that I'm a lawyer, all I really want is to be an author.
Ain't that the way it goes?
Happy 90th post!
Well not twice in my entire life, but only twice in the last several years. I find that I am such a Tom boy the my inappropriate business gets aired when I wear a dress (if you catch my drift lol)
DeleteI have always wanted to be an author or lawyer and now well I still want to be an author but I get plenty of arguing with my kids
I LOVE teen mom and sixteen and pregnant! More so teen mom.. ehh health nut? I read your post while I eat cookies.. ha, take that :P
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to come up with so many things hey? xx
I said I was a recent health nut lol and honestly not even that healthy of a health nut, I was eating candy when I wrote this, but the truth is after surgery and chemo my body changed a lot and I am trying to loose all those un wanted pounds so I have to at least pretend to be a health nut in public lol
DeleteHappy 90th! Had to stop over to return the visit and glad I did. Loved the list and I will forgive the two skipped. I totally adore your diversity and positive attitude. I'm sure you make your corner brighter just by being in it. Rock on!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you very much for the totally awesome compliment which made my head expand like a hellium balloon, and thank you,for visiting
DeleteI once ate at the Red Lobster in Muskogee. Drove there many times. Random share, I know.
ReplyDeleteHappy 90th! How does it feel to be so experienced? :) You've really been homeless three times??? How did you bounce back? You must tell that story. Or did you, and if so, where is it in the archives?
Muskogee is little and boring but its cool to know you've been here : )
DeleteYes we have really been homeless three times I wrote about it here --http://mommysrambles.blogspot.com/2012/04/homeless-yes-hopeless-no.html
Kimbra, you have had a life and then some! How did you pack it all in? I can't even imagine what the next 30 years has in store for you! You might just go to the moon!
ReplyDeleteI hope I don't go to the moon honestly the last 2 years alone has been enough to make me feel more than double my actual age. I hope that the next 30 years are my years of calm and happiness.
DeleteWow, we have a lot in common. I admire your strength and resilience. Happy to hear you're moving to your own home soon. Very exciting. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI always love it when I hear that I have things in common with others, makes me feel a little less weird.... Thank you so much for your admiration but I feel I am undeserving. Thank you also for the comgrats, I am incredibly excited to be potentially moving from this shoe box soon
