5 Fun Facts About Me

 

RandomThursday

I haven’t linked up for Random Thursday in a while, so I thought, “Why Not?!” and here I am. Today’s prompt (if you didn’t read the title) is 5 Fun Facts about Me. I don’t know if they’re fun, but they are facts. So, half-win at the very least – not bad, right?

1. On occasion, I have been known to do community theatre. I love it but haven’t been able to (or willing too) give up my time for rehearsals. Now that the kid is a little older, I can feel the acting bug creeping back up in me.

2. To save some money when decorating Lillie’s room, Alfred & I just went through some old furniture we had and painted it. Like new, baby or like new baby. Because she was a new ba…oh, never mind. Picture 408

3. In case you’ve ever doubted my redneck status – I’ve actually been to a Corn Festival. Yeah, a Corn Festival. Just let that sink in.

Well, only after I went home crying because when I walked into class everyone started laughing at my new do that I was so proud of (my mom had a perm, so I thought I was so adult with it.) Seriously though, they had to call my mom to come pick me up because I refused to go inside.

I remember asking my mom if I could get a perm too and she always said no.

I love those beer mugs!

You know before reading this I was like, "can Tamara get any more bad ass?" and now I know, you can!

These facts...I dont even know where to start, the fact you're practically a broadway star or you rock a perm like no one business. Sheesh. Seriously though, I think its so rad you do community theater. I'd totally take a trip to TX to see that awesomeness.

This post made me giggle so hard! Particularly the new baby part. Epic. I remember perms being the big thing in school... and I was gutted cos I wasn't allowed to have one. The community theatre looks like so much fun! I hope you find time to get back into it! What exactly IS a corn festival? I wonder if it's like the Fall Fairs we have here - lots of livestock, lumberjack competitions, horse racing and cotton candy. And I'm a beer girl, so you're getting a slow clap from me over those beer mugs. Fabulous.
Thanks for linking up with us!

There's a store here that sells different kinds of soda pop, and one of the flavors is CORN soda. It's gross. It tastes like you're drinking butter.
