"Getting to know you....

Getting to know all about you"

First, thank you all for nice comments on the last post. I'm better - it's not life threatening and I'm pretty much back to normal :)

Second, I've been tagged by NeedSleepy and I now have to tell 8 things about myself. I'm going to try and think of 8 new things so that I don't bore you with the same ones from my previous post a few months ago.

1.) Most of the clothes I own are Brown. I think that I look the best in Brown. Like Black, it's slimming and when combined with my blue eyes, I get my two favorite colors together :0)

2.) When I was growing up, like 4 and 5 years old, my Mom would take me to the shoe store to try on shoes instead of going to the playground, because I found that to be more fun. I wouldn't try on my size, though I wanted to try on "big girl" shoes and so I would "walk" around in heels and dress shoes way too big for me.

3.) I regret that I never saw Alabama in concert. If they ever do a second Farewell Tour - I'm there! Even though the ticket prices will be through the roof! Side note - Jeff Cook (one of the band members) lives three doors down from my Granddaddy, so maybe I could just go knock on his door and ask for some tickets. Two Thanksgivings ago, I saw the other band members at this house too, so maybe I'll luck out again this year!

4.) Going along with that, I have a fascination with meeting celebrities. It's like a game for me! If I know they're around, I have to figure out a way to meet them - I swear I'm not a stalker! As a result, I've met *NSYNC twice and gotten Kenny Chesney's autograph, though, sadly I've never actual met him, as he signed my CD after a concert as he was leaving the stage. I've also met Kurt Warner (Cardinal's QB), Jason Alden, KC from KC and the Sunshine Band, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, and a few members of the group O-Town (remember them?) There's more, but at the moment I can't think of them.

5.) I can't sleep in. I have to be up by 6:30 and on a good day, 7:00. I can't help it, my internal clock is just set there.

6.) Peanut Butter is one of my favorite things in the entire world!

7.) I'm a Disney freak! I love the place, the movies, the music - if it's Disney I'm all about it! I named my dog after my favorite princess. My dream job is to be the corporate attorney for Disney one day!

8.) My favorite flower is Gerber Daisies. I would rather have a bouquet of those than roses, seriously.

Ok, I'm supposed to tag 8 people, but as I'm also supposed to be studying, I'm going to skip that. Sorry, I'm a slacker! I promise I'll play along with all the rules in about two weeks. So, if you haven't done this or want to: Steal it!

What are you doing tonight....

Cause I'm going to be watching the Country Music Awards! As my Facebook status says the moment, "I'm so excited about the CMA's, you'd think I was nominated for one!" I love award show, and when you combined that with my other love, country music, you get one great evening of live performances, pretty dresses, and, of course, the awards themselves!

In honor of the CMA's I thought I'd share the other country music love I have! Now we've already discussed Kenny, but the other artist that speaks my life is Sugarland! I can't tell you how many memories I have that include them, well their music anyway! Whether it was driving around with the top down singing at the top of my lungs with Classy, crying as I left home to move here, being completely ridiculous at their concert (if you get the opportunity - GO), they have been there! Numerous times I've said, "Yeah, me too!" or "I can totally relate to that!" while listening to their music!

In fact, the title for this blog came from one of their songs! I can sum myself up in four lines from their song, Take me as I am:

Slow to trust, but I'm quick to love

I push to hard and I give to much

I ain't sayin I'm perfect

but I promise I'm worth it

So there you go, a little more insight into the world of Island Girl! Watch tonight, both Sugarland and Kenny are nominated for a boat load of awards!!
