I was thinking there are a lot of you that are new readers and probably don't know much about me except the fact that I'm a new mommy to the cutest little man EVER (yes, I know I'm biased) and that I live in Texas. SO, I decided to go old school this TT. Does everyone remember those quizzes people would post on myspace or forward in emails? Well I found one online and decided I'd use it as a little "get to know you". Please feel free to steal it and post your answers on your own blog.

Current Location? Samesies.
Hometown? Yet again. Same. Y'all are getting bored aren't you? I know I kinda am ...

Height? 5' 4". If weight is the next question I'm pleading the 5th.
Glasses or contacts? Neither nor.
Piercings or tattoos? That's for me to know and for you to never find out. Kidding. Just the two in the ears.
