๐It's my birthday! ๐Come get to know me!๐
๐ถ They say it's my birthday!๐ถ
And it is!
In honor of this momentous occasion, I shall allow you to GETTOKNOWME with a series of stupid questions I'm sure you all are aching to know.
Go ahead, pull up a chair, take off your shoes (unless you got stinky feet ๐ ), and enter into the magical...er craziness that is my brain. If at any time you wish to leave this ride, the exits are...
On to the Questions!
Where did you grow up?
Kansas, United States of America.
One of the BEST places to grow up. ๐
Where do you live now?
Colorado, United States of America. ๐Home๐
Do you have any pets?
Yes! Oberon, Banquo and Eddie. An Alaskan Malamute mut, a mixed Akita/Pit, and a bad-ass murder kitty, respectively. ๐ถ๐บ ๐ผ
Who's your best friend?
My husband. @chrisroberts I mean... this guy. This guy is everything. What a dude. โค๏ธ ๐โค๏ธ
Here we are exactly one year ago today (my birthday!) in Cripple Creek, Colorado. I love that place!
What type of phone do you have?
Google Pixel. The camera is seriously awesome. Seriously. It's normally what I use to take pics for here.
What did you do this past weekend?
Colorado Gators!!!! OMG! It was so cool! Here is a gator. ๐ฒ Be on the lookout for a whole post about 'em.
Would you rather have to sit all day or stand all day?
Stand. Assuming, because I was standing I would be allowed to move about.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Watch Youtube videos. Mostly politics, trending and ASMR. ๐ #guiltypleasures Oh! And go outside. ๐ป
What is the first thing you do when you wake up?
Locate Oberon. Aka Fluffy. He gets half-awake๐ด rubs/snuggles every morning. Not sure if it's more for me or him...
What is the last thing you do before you go to sleep?
Lately, put earphones in and choose some super awesome subliminal thing to fall asleep to.
What is your favorite holiday?
Halloween! I really like dressing up. Plus, it's during my birthday month!
Here are Chris and I posing two years ago before winning the grand prize in the costume contest!
How often do you eat out?
Very rarely. We live in a tiny mountain town, about an hour from the major towns (with stores and such). We DO have 4 restaurants right now though.
Do you play any instruments?
I play ALLLLL the instruments!! I kid, I kid. But I do have a bit of a feel for music.๐ต ๐ I was trained classically on piano for about 12 years, a few on clarinet (plus school), and a few voice lessons (plus school choirs). I've taught myself ukulele (all sizes!), but not guitar. ๐ I can play a whole slew of ocarinas or whistle type, blow instruments. Oh! And rhythm toys are fun too!๐ต
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I had to think about this one... I came to the conclusion I'd like to be able to auto-translate every language I hear. And be able to speak it back. Kinda like the Tardis being inside my brain.
Do you speak any other languages?
Sigh. I do not. However, I was fluent in ASL (American Sign Language) & SEE (Sign Exact English). I used to even dream in sign language! I don't use it now, living remotely in the mountains, however.
What was the last picture you took with your phone?
Lol! I took this for a comment on here two days ago!
Okay. That's all you get for today. Was it excessive? Are you even reading at this point? Oh no! I've bored you! I should have ask myself more exciting questions!
But not yet. You aren't ready yet. I must ease you in.
Don't worry.
As always, thanks for stopping by!
โค๏ธ
P.S. Sometime during the night I (finally) passed 300 followers! Woohoo! This was actually my original goal for my IntrodueYourself post (so I'd have someone to share it with).
Thank you, Steemland!
Carrie Allen's my dear lovely wife,
I'm lucky to be stuck with her for life.
-A Poem, by me, just now.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Awe. I love you too!
Well... you are rad. Instruments, sign language, and a mountain town. My kind of people. Plus your husband has an amazing hat. Total respect!
This was a fun post. Nice to learn a little about you. I came here after you commented on my papa-pepper selfie.
See you in the contest. I'm excited. It should be fun.
Sweet! I thought I recognized that face... upside down!
I'm excited too! I like that we can just post a pic in the comment section. Plus, I SHOULD be able to complete/find whatever task is at hand each day.
I shall not be eliminated! ๐
P.S. I love that your name is happymoneyman. ๐
I know, I like this contest because it's simple and fun. Usually I don't do them because it's too complicated.
I shall also not be eliminated. Haha. I guess we are both gonna win. Yaya.
Haha. Yes, true. Only one. Haha.
Happy Birthday!!๐ Congratulations on 300+ followers as well ;)
Awe shucks! Thank you!
And thank you for reading! ๐
Really awesome, post! Love the pics of you and your hubs together. You seem familiar to me!
Can't wait to meet you, Carrie! Happy b-earth-day!!
Thank you so much, Jakob! I was just looking over it and thinking the same thing. LOL!
So far there have been 9 people who viewed it who DIDN'T think it was awesome. Weirdos. ๐ They must just live sad lives. ๐
You seem a little familiar to me too ( I was attempting to watch one of your DTube videos... but they never load).
Thanks for the b-earth-day love! ๐
Well, we know who the people with good taste are! ^_^
Sorry about the videos. I really with DTube was being better supported. It's such a great app. And people keep using stinkin' YouTube because it's always on...
Well, looking forward to meeting you soon! Hope you're extending the festivities as long as you see fit!
Oh happiest of bdays Carrie!! Have a blast!
Many thanks, kind sir. I shall. I shall. ๐
