Ok, I'm stealing this idea from my cousin. Yes - I am a thief. But that's okay because I think I might be fighting off the mother of all head colds that has been traveling around this dirty fair city of mine. So I'm entitled to pilfer, dangit!

I'm probably not going to post everyday...I'm lazy like that. I know, I know. I hear your wails of sadness. 

You'll live. All 2 of you. Haha.

Anyhow, here goes:

1. In the last seven months, I have moved three times. I'm kind of over moving. I think I'm done for now. And I will never ever move myself ever again. Hiring people to do it for you is so much better. Standards, people. Standards. (see? snobbery)

2. Like my cousin, I cannot hold my alcohol. I am a midget so you give me two drinks...of ANYTHING and I am down for the count. At least I'm a cheap date. Lucky E.

3. I grind my teeth really bad at night. It's so bad it wakes my boyfriend up out of a dead sleep and he has to punch nudge me so I'll stop. I have to wear a mouthguard at night but I don't. Because I'm vain that way. 

4. The one thing that terrifies me most on this planet is the idea of my setting foot on a airplane. I have never been in a big airplane. I did, however, go fly in one of those teeny tiny little itty bitty suckers once. Thanks, James! I think that was probably the closest I ever came to death. Or clouds. I was full of mixed emotions on that plane ride. And Zanax. I was full of that too. 

5. Like my cousin, I also tend to speak with a British accent. I have no idea why I do this. Sometimes I will just start pronouncing words in a very un-American and British way. I'll catch myself doing it and pause, pondering why it is that I speak this way. And then I will continue to ramble on as if I'm from across the pond. 

6. I have two cats. Yes, I am writing about my cats. Deal. I wouldn't trade either of them for anything in the world. Well, maybe a very large and expensive diamond or a really large and expensive car. But barring that, nothing could ever separate them from me (hi, I'm Ashley. I become extremely snobbish when I'm sick). However, the little one, Gypsy, has come perilously close to death several times when she has decided that 1:00am is a GREAT time to start rattling the blinds behind my bed thus scaring me out of my wits. I have never beat either of my precious felines, but oh man, on nights like that, I have pondered how well cats and gravity mix....

7. I used to never want kids. They got on my nerves. With the crying and whining and messes. But now...now that I'm older and I get to spend time with tiny ones, I find myself desperately eager to become a mother. I think I'd make a kick-ass mom. 

8. I could eat nothing else but cheese and bread until I die. I'm totally serious. If it wouldn't make me fat, give me horrendous breath, and permanently clog up my intestines (sorry. sick, remember? I can get away with it) I would totally do this. But, unfortunately, my body, breath, and bowels have other foodstuffs in mind when they think of life-long commitments. 

9. I hate doing dishes. I loathe it. Every single second of it. I will do ANYTHING to get out of having to do them. And I do mean anything. You want me to go scrub a toilet? Sure! Take out the trash?? No problem! Mop the floors? Done! But if you want me to stand in front of a sink with dirty dishes, I will whine and balk and try my damnedest to get out of it. I'm not sure why, either. I just hate it. Hate hate hate.

10. I feel so extremely blessed to have the people in my life that I do. I have a wonderful family who makes me feel just a smidge less crazy on a day-to-day basis. Because I fit in with them, you see. I can tell them the crazy thoughts that barrel through my brain and not only do they relate, but they come up with even CRAZIER things that they have been pondering over. I love mi familia. I have a fantastic boyfriend who is constantly making me laugh and who reminds me on a pretty regular basis of how wonderful he thinks I am. A lot of times I look at him cross-eyed because I think he's full of malarkey (woohoo! I used "malarkey" in a sentence! Hah! Yes!.....sorry, blame the germs). And because I honestly and truly cannot believe how lucky I am. My friends make my world a better and brighter place to be. And I love each and every one of them, no matter how far away they may be. 

We'll see how it goes with tomorrow's post. If I'm still amongst the living. Because, as we all know, when Ashley get's a head cold, her throat will close up in her sleep, thereby causing DEATH.

Tah!
