Confessions of an Ames-aholic

  • I cry an embarrassing amount when I watch Ellen. I'm pretty convinced that she is an angel.
  • I also cry when people win on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" sOoO.... perhaps I am just abnormally emotional
  • I prank called people for a large portion of my childhood (you can go online and find Judge Judy's voice, and make "her" say certain things. So if Judge Judy has ever called you... SPOILER ALERT, it was me!)
  • I have no idea how to spell the name Breanne. As much as I love the name, I can never get it right. If that is your name, I will always call you BRE, when I am writing you a message. Is it Breanne? Breann? Breane? Breadfsdgan? I can't keep it straight okay!
  • I love zombies
  • I NEED a clean house. I don't care what else is going on in the day, as long as my house is clean
  • I have a mustahce - A big one
  • I wash my hair every few days (2..3..4..) I am very particular about my hair/bangs. Some may even say annoyingly obsessed (they're wrong but whatever)
So awkward. How'd this get on here?
  • One time I got kicked out of class and as I was walking out to write notes, low and behold I saw my sister sitting at the end of the same hallway, guilty of the same crime
  • I used to think I was part Spanish, and told a lot of people that (ya sorry guys... wasn't true at all)
  • I got drunk and married someone once - But that didn't really work out (hahah totally kidding... about the drunk part at least...)
  • I went to a Bryan Adams concert once and have forever loved him since
  • I love being tanned, but not as much as that tanned mom
  • I cut my own hair like I'm doing it a favor (I think I need to go on that weird addictions show)
  • I take a lot of pictures of myself, then think, "What am I doing? My sister would mock me so hard for this" and then I delete them. Well... most of them ;)
  • I live in my purple house coat 
I'm so pretty in the morning... 
  • I have so much love for people that sometimes my body can't handle it and I will just burst into tears (Joe is my witness), again... perhaps I am just abnormally emotional
  • My nieces are the sweetest!
  • I think about my friends and people in my life constantly. I want to know everyone is okay because nothing makes me happier than seeing people happy
  • If I think I've offended or hurt someone, I lose sleep for days- I seriously can't live with myself (quite the change from Ames '06, amirite?)
  • I hate shaving. Honestly, so annoying. But I also don't like when Joe keeps his distance... Life is so unfair
  • I paint my nails every 2-3 days
  • I cannot master the "smolder" look for the life of me. And heaven knows I've tried. If you zoom in on the picture below - you will understand. 
Embarrassed 
  • I've worn a retainer every night for the past 7 years (to infinity and beyond!)
  • I tell everyone Joe picked out my ring (try and give the guy some credit). FALSE. I picked it out. Top to bottom. I went to every jewelry store in Edmonton and tried on every different type of ring until I found the one I have
  • Sometimes, when I'm bored, I record myself singing into my phone so that I have something to laugh at
  • I have so many good friends in my life. I am the luckiest. 
  • I love watching videos of people falling, seeing it in real life is even better 
  • The only thing I know how to bake are banana muffins, and those things are freakin' fool proof
  • When Joe and I went to Cuba, I wore sunscreen that was SPF 80 (woulda bought SPF 100 if I coulda found it).
  • And my final confession, I wrote most of this post while sitting at work and smiling like this: 

Happy Tuesday everyone!

It's tough being a part time model.

Joe and I had so much fun with Lanae last week doing a photo shoot! She is so talented and even managed to make us look good after two days of unwashed hair and two weeks of not shaving our beards, I mean beard. Joe's beard. Just his. 

Check out her site :) http://ivyellephotography.blogspot.ca/
