- Take my contacts out, wash my make-up off and brush my teeth at night. No matter how tired, or drunk, I am.
- Worry about things that I THINK are going to happen before they actually happen.
- Twirl my nose ring when I’m thinking.
- Clean the kitchen before going to bed.
- Cry when I watch Armageddon. Every. single. time. Once I watched it twice in a row and still cried both times.
Always, Sometimes, Never
Work has been busy. Really busy. My brain is tired when I come home at night. Yesterday this meme, complimentary of the lovely Kyla Roma, made me smile! Writing it also made me smile and it didn’t hurt my brain, too much…
I always…
I sometimes…
- Imagine how different my life would be if it didn’t have Eric in it.
- Do yoga before bed. I say I’ll do it more often but I never do.
- Imagine two different futures for myself; one married with kids and another travelling and focussed on my career.
- Truly believe I can only have one of those futures but not both.
- Wish my life was completely different – more carefree, more ‘young’.
- Forget how lucky I am (see above).
I never…
- Pay bills late. Ever.
- Go a day without checking my email.
- Would have guessed I get into running and love it. I was not an athlete growing up.
- Imagined I’d be with someone for half-a-decade at the age of 20!
- Do anything spontaneous. It’s all plan, plan, plan and plan some more with me.
- Want to be unhappy.
Your turn! Repeat after me in the comments, I always, I sometimes, I never…
And go. OR post this on your own blog! XO









I always always always plan too! I try to be spontaneous but the planning side always comes out
I always have music playing!
I sometimes freak out at this idea of a “real job”, real life, being grown up ‘n all.
I Never forget to tell my fam that I love them on the phone. I’m too far away, they need to know as often as I can remember to tell them .
I like your lists – these posts are fun and you always end up coming out with more than you thought! Our brains are tricky like that.
i ALWAYS cry when i watch armageddon! there’s nothing i can do! the first time i watched that movie, i was with my dad, who looks just like bruce willis when he has no hair, so of course i had to tag my dad as the hero and myself as his daughter (liv). every time i’ve seen it since, whether it be with friends or my boyfriend, i have to call my dad and tell him i love him after the movie. i can’t feel better if i don’t.
I always…

Have blow dry and straighten my hair before I leave the house.
Sing out loud in the car.
Stop and smell the roses…..i love plants!
Love getting out of the city…..i’ll always be a country girl!
Cry when I watch the Notebook!!! HAHAHA and I was mad when Steve didn’t but he did cry when we watch Marley and Me….LOL
I sometimes…
Wonder what I would be like as a skinnier me…lol I would have more of a shopping problem then I already do!
Wish I had gone to college before I started working here seven year ago….but then I wouldn’t have all I have now…hmmm
Would love to drop everything and just go travelling…..some day soon
Can’t believe I met the most amazing man in the whole world….Steve
Wish I could have my fam live closer.
I never…
Go any where without ironing my clothes…lol
Make plans…we always just do whatever.
Thought I would feel the way I feel about myself this year……I’m more confident and loving my body!! WAHOOO
Would have thought I would still be working here seven years later.
Thought I could meet someone as amazing as Steve….lol I seriously thought it was all in the movies!!
Want to be stuck in an office when I’m 30….I’ll be doing my own thing by then!
That was cool! I’d have to agree with most of what you said (as in, I do the same), except for cleaning the kitchen every night
I always…
* eat peanut butter once a day.
* write my grocery lists out.
* wear my hair in pigtails.
* have to have some sort of dessert every day .
* wear shorts no matter the weather…in the winter its shorts with tights. always.
I sometimes…
* remember my dreams from the night before
* go to church
* go to bed at a reasonable hour
* stretch after workouts
* do my homework ahead of time. ( im a big procrastinator)
I never…
* miss a day of blogging, blog reading or blog commenting
* am on time.
* follow the lists i make…like the grocery lists.
* go a day without coffee
* get my required amount of water a day
* cry in movies.
loved this!
I always…
wash my face at night and moisturize in the am, and brush my teeth am and pm.
I sometimes…
wish I would get the courage to just up and move to a big city, face my fears, find a creative and awesome job in writing/marketing/magazines and keep on with the running thing.
I never…
skip a workout for something of leisure (even if it’s something really awesome. so i have to fit in even a 20 min workout in the early am, at lunch or late night).
Love this… I’ll definitely be posting this on my blog soon.
The makeup thing is crucial… EVERY time I’ve broken that rule I’ve had crappy skin for the next few days – so not worth it. I’m trying to start a better nighttime routine – facewash, moisturizer, and eye cream – but I ALWAYS at least do the facewash.
Oddly I have always hated running but I LOVE the elliptical. Go figure.
Ahaha, your one about paying bills on time reminded me that I need to send my rent out yesterday. It’s in the mail now, I probably would have forgotten. Thanks!
I always crave chocolate- it’s part of who I am.
I sometimes crave spontenaity, although I normally am a planner.
I never go a day without thanking God and saying “I love you” to someone (such a cheeseball answer, I know).
Maybe I’ll come up with more of these for tomorrow’s One Happy Panda post.

I left you an award on my latest blog post!
I usually brush, floss and mouthwash before going to bed… even if it’s 2AM, even if I had 4 martinis…

I totally want to do this on my blog but I had to comment to you:
I always cry at Armageddon!! AND I always cry at Braveheart at the EXACT. SAME. SPOT EVERY TIME!!! Weird right???
