things you never wanted to know about Gretchen Weiners

[gretchenweiners7]

I'm done being a n00b. 

[gretchenweiners7]

I can lick my elbow. I know, you guise are really jealous.

[gretchenweiners7]

I have never dyed my hair. Or highlighted it or any of that biz. I think I have already mentioned this.

[gretchenweiners7]

I moved to CO with DH right after we got married and I really resented him for making me move there. But then I started to love it and now I am annoyed that we moved to MN, where it is cold and gloomy. I feel sad that I was upset with DH for the first chunk of our married life in CO.

[gretchenweiners7]

We knew that we were having a boy, but told everyone IRL that we didn't. I know there are some opinions on this, but we liked it. It was nice to have a secret just between us.

[gretchenweiners7]

Once I modeled in a hair show. It was a blast and I love to AW the photos because my hair was frickin sweet. I had a 5 foot long fishtail braid. The theme was cavemen. I can't figure out how to upload my pic.

[gretchenweiners7]

Sometimes I leave DH's things out to see how long it will take him to put them away. He never puts them away. I am a well trained dog, because I always do eventually.

[gretchenweiners7]

Are you guise sick of me? I'm really sorry. I hate being a n00b.

[gretchenweiners7]

My maiden name is the same as someone that was famous for being kidnapped (bet you can't guess), and my freshmen year of high school, a long term sub thought I was the kidnapped person for real.

[gretchenweiners7]

I just got a prescription for glasses but I am nervous to wear them.

[gretchenweiners7]

I was in a sorority in college at a school with fantastic Greek system. I met so many people that I wouldn't have met otherwise and had a lot of great experiences and opportunities. It seriously chaps my ass when people say that I paid for my friends or other stupid stereotypes about Greek life. I know there are some "bad apples" out there, but overall it is a wonderful thing.

[gretchenweiners7]

My parents divorced before I was old enough to remember. I have a fear of this happening to DH and my relationship. We aren't having issues or anything, but it was so sad for me as a kid that it scares the shit out of me now.

[gretchenweiners7]

DH and I both hate ketchup, so we are obviously soulmates.

I also hate fries.

[gretchenweiners7]

I'm halfway there!

[gretchenweiners7]

I work occasionally at a brewery and it is a blast. I make more money working a few hours a week there than I would have if I kept my boring full time job and had to pay for daycare. I am so fortunate that it all worked out that way so that I can spend my days at home with LO.

[gretchenweiners7]

I picked out DS's name and get secret joy every time that DH tells someone it was my idea. That is possibly the dumbest confession ever.

What is your fav movie?

[gretchenweiners7]

When we were all pregnant, I always wanted to be more like GDF/pnwlover/Nicb/Sinner/Purp. Like a cool combo of them or something. But, now I just admire their coolness and I'm okay with just being Gretchen.

Is that creepy? Swear I am not ladywithbaby.

This is really hard. Let's pretend I am super hungry or having several meals?

Crab legs, surf and turf, baked macaroni & cheese.

With brussels sprouts/creamed peas (I know, ew) orrrr maybe corn on the cob if it's summer and the corn is from Iowa.

And dessert...creme brulee? Or ice cream orrrr anything because I love dessert.

[gretchenweiners7]

I lost one tooth by myself as a child. The dentist pulled the rest. I tried telling my mom this so she didn't send my sister there, but she didn't listen. Then she complained to me that the dentist was pulling my sister's teeth just to pull them. Told you so, mom.

[gretchenweiners7]

I am 6 feet tall (I know I have already said this also), and sometimes I am really self conscious about it. I love to wear heels when DH and I go out, but I feel awkward being taller than DH. Without shoes, he is about a half inch taller than me. I hate it when people say "you're so tall!!" or make comments about it, especially when I wear heels. Because...duh? Did you think I didn't notice?

[gretchenweiners7]

My favorite drink right now is water. I am lame.

[gretchenweiners7]

I need someone to make me a list of movies I should see in my lifetime. I am terrible at watching movies and I always feel so dumb when people talk about a "classic" that I've never seen.

[gretchenweiners7]

DH does most of the cooking here. I bake a lot, because I love to, but I hate cooking. I feel guilty sometimes that I rarely make dinner, but I could live off of cookies or other baked goods. It's DH's fault that he thinks we need a more balanced meal...right?

[gretchenweiners7]

This was a terrible idea guise. I still have a long way to go.

[gretchenweiners7]

I really want to like coffee, but it's so bitter! When I make it, I always make it iced and put a shit ton of almond milk in it to make it drinkable.

[gretchenweiners7]

I can hyper-extend my elbows on both arms. If I hold my arms out straight to my sides, it looks like they are broken kind of.
