Birthday Fun Facts 3

11. I drink a cup of green, peppermint tea everyday.


12. Ironed sheets are a must in my life. My first year at Taft I used the laundry service, but after sending my sheets one time and them coming back unironed I had to outsource them. Crisp and fresh is the best!


13. I have ridden in the back of a truck. When we lived in Central America this was how many people got into the cities. I always begged and begged to do this and finally one day (when my mother was away) my dad rented a truck and drove up and down the street with me in the back.


14. I hate to snow ski, but enjoy water skiing.


15. I was SUPER obsessed with trolls in 2nd grade. So obsessed that I had a troll themed 8th birthday. The outfit below is my mother's least favorite outfit that I ever owned. How we found someone to paint trolls on a top AND make a troll pinata after only living in Honduras for two weeks I may never understand...

The ironed sheet thing blows my mind. While it would be nice I'm:
* not sure I would spend my extra $$ on it.
* spend the time to it myself.
HA!
My MIL irons all of hers and it still blows my mind and my husband's mind.
He didn't realize she did that his whole life and still does!
I had a roomate in college who did it but only because her sheets wouldn't fit the bed if she didn't!!
Looking HAWT in that troll shirt Hopsy! :)

I love the troll fact! I was also obsessed with trolls in second grade! I dressed up as one for Halloween and had a troll themed 8th birthday party!

That is such a cute picture! I remember trolls. I loved the ones that had the rhinestone belly buttons. One time around that age, I went to a friend's house, and she had an insanely large troll collection. We had so much fun with them!

I have to have ironed sheets too! When I first married my husband thought I was crazy, but after realizing how much better they are he turned to team iron! HA!

I've never ironed sheets but then I fold them up the way Martha taught us. When I put them on the bed they are tight enough there aren't any wrinkles. The way people rave about it I am afraid to try it...I might cross a line I can never come back from!

Outsourcing your sheets at Taft! You are too cute.

That's hilarious about the troll party! Ironed sheets sound divine!

Haha, love the troll doll obsession. I was obsessed too when I was in lower school. And my mother too hated the troll doll fad.

OMG I hated trolls with a passion growing up. They scared me. That being said, good for your Mom tolerating it all. ...and I have no comment on that shirt you are wearing! HEE HEE

I love all of your fun birthday facts. When I was in first grade I demanded that I be a treasure troll nurse for Halloween. My poor mother had to construct a nurse costume with a big purple jewel on the stomach.

I iron my pillowcases, but not my sheets. I do, however, hang my sheets outdoors to dry. I love that sunshiney aromoa.

I love reading about your life in Honduras because I'm half Honduran! Those little girls look like they could be cousins of mine. I guess that preppy can work in any country! :)
