All About Erin

Where Am I:  Somewhere on the left coast. 

Marital Status:  Enjoying my happily ever after with an amazing husband who does not so much enjoy having his picture taken, but can fix anything around the house.  And oh boy, can he cook!

Sign: This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius.

Handedness: Lefty...and I like it that way.

Dimples:  Yes, both cheeks.

Die Hard Fan of: The Florida Gators (In all kinds of weather, we'll all stick together, for
F - L - O - R - I - D - A). 

Favorite color:  Purple.  I would paint the world purple if I could.  It is probably a good thing husband is around to keep me grounded.  And to make sure I plant flowers of other colors in our garden (although I did approach him with the idea of an all purple garden, but for some reason he didn't go for it).

Kids:  Nothing two legged.  Although when you whip out the pictures of your kids to show me how cute they are, I will pull out my phone and show you how cute Meatball, Petunia, and Harriet are too. And I will expect to you pretend to be interested (just ask my co-workers). 

Quirks:  Many.  Usually they involve making up song lyrics about my dogs that go to the tune of popular songs.  Or saying excuse me when I bump into inanimate objects (ok, or my dogs). Also, I do not like pasta, although I married into an Italian family that often makes it from scratch.  Yeah, I know many of you would gladly take my place at the dinner table:)  

Weaknesses:  Dogs, cuteoverload.com, the smell of popcorn, the sound of rain, great real life love stories, celebrity gossip, shoes and bags, and guilt trips from my mother.

My shopping trips usually involve: Anthropologie, Banana Republic, The Gap, JCrew, Nordstrom, Crate and Barrel, Orchard Supply Hardware (garden stuff), Navlet's (more garden stuff), Sephora, Forever 21, H&M, The Container Store, cute local boutiques, and drooling over stuff I can't afford.  Also, a pretzel from Auntie Annie's.

Stuff I love: Popcorn, pugs, peonies, sour candy, quinoa, baking, Chelsea Handler, gardening, orchids, college football season, spa treatments, Survivor, travel, trying new restaurants, freesia, luring in feeding the birds in my neighborhood with my many birdfeeders, shopping, listening to a good book, and mimosas (especially when they are made with fresh squeezed blood orange juice).
