{The Crazy Girl Behind The Girl Creative}
Today is my 35th birthday! I wish I had planned some big, fun party here that we could all hoot and holla to but I’m really bad at planning! So, I figured I’d give you a glimpse of the girl behind The Girl Creative. Here are 35 random things about me. 😉
1. I hate to be called Diane.
2. Being called Diane is my all time, #1 pet peave, EVER.
3. My mother’s name is Diane.
4. 1-2 has nothing to do with #3.
5. I hate email forwards – especially the ones that tell me I don’t love Jesus or that I won’t get blessed if I don’t forward to 12 friends, 13 business associates, 18 3rd cousins twice removed and the 7-11 store owner.
6.I get very annoyed at people on the road especially (but not limited to) slow pokes in the left lane, people who don’t go right away when the light turns green (unless it’s me and in that case it’s ok), people who don’t turn their signal off after changing lanes (wouldn’t that mean they are just going in cirlces?), cell phone talkers, etc.
7. I got spanked once for lying.
8. I’m a really loyal friend even if you treat me bad. I will keep forgiving you anyway.
9. I love taking care of my family.
10. There is only 1 room in my house where I can not see myself in a mirror. For those of you who have been to my house, you will know exactly what I’m talking about.
11. I used to have a pair of black jeans that I called my lucky jeans b/c every time I wore them, the guy I liked would talk to me.
12.Turns out they were my “unlucky” jeans. He was a jerk.
13. I’d much rather send someone a text or an email before I’d make a phone call. I hate those awkward silent moments. I always feel responsible for keeping the conversation going if I’m the one who called. Email is just easier. There’s no pressure and it never gets misconstrued or misunderstood.
14. I’m sarcastic. (see #13)
15. When I was pregnant with Emilee my feet were so swollen that I had to wear men’s extra wide sneakers.
16. I never went on a honeymoon.
17. The first time I ever went on a plane was in 10th grade and we went to TN for a Volleyball Tournament.
18.I have not been on a plane since before 9/11.
19. Chances are I will not be on a plane after 9/11
20.I almost got run over in my church parking lot. Thankfully I was able to jump on top of Emilee in her seat and only my arm got side swiped. Poor Emilee though.
21.I grew up in a development and for fun we would send taxis to people’s houses.
22.One time we sent 5 to one house and they all arrived at the same time.
23.My 4th grade teacher called me fat but that was okay b/c he liked big women.
24.When my parents would leave us all home, we’d make prank phone calls for hours.
25.I used to weigh 112 lbs.
26.That was in 5th grade. Yeah, not so good.
27.When I was in nursery school I beat up a 1st grade boy. Or maybe I was in kindergarten and he was in 3rd grade? Whatever. I still beat up a boy.
28.I love fart/toilet scenes in movies – Nutty Professor, Nacho Libre, Dumb and Dumber, Along Came Polly
29.In first grade a bird pooped on my head while waiting for the bell to ring before school started. I cried. My sisters laughed. That was the norm.
30.I like to make people laugh.
31. A few years back I fell down 2x in one trip to the supermarket. The first time was a splat. My knee has never been the same.
32. A few months before #31 happened, I fell off the alter at church and went crashing into the front row. Fun times.
33. The videographer at my wedding caught me asking my sisters if i had snots during the prayer at my wedding.
34. I’ve never had a beer and probably never will.
35. My 2 oldest sisters blackmailed me for years because i said a bad word and they were going to tell on me (after they TOLD me to say it). Funny thing is, they can’t even remember what it was but I DO and I’m not telling. So there! lol
Do you guys still love me??? LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
XOXO

I am sooooooooooooooooooooo with you on number five…you shared a lot of funny stuff. Thanks for the smile and Happy Birthday – boy 35 makes me feel really old.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We sound a whole lot alike! I hate stupid drivers…really! I’ve never had beer either…the smell is enough to make me gag.
6. I’m so with you on those slow left lane drivers! I wish we could press a button and scoot them out of the way.
14. My favorite people are sarcastic.
22. Hilarious, I never though of that one! We just prank called Tim Buttram a lot.
That was really fun to read. I hope you have a WONDERFUL birthday with your family!
Thanks for sharing all of those details! It was fun to get to know you more. Happy Birthday! The 30s aren’t so bad . . . I’m much wiser now!
Aww, Happy Birthday, DianA. I can relate with many of your 35 things!
Hope you have a great birthday. Those are some funny facts for sure. i’d be mortified if my wedding video had a ‘snot’ blur in it that you had to see each time you watched it. I’d have to find a way to edit that out!
happy birthday diana! i hope it is fabulous.
Happy Birthday! Have a super day!
XOOX

A GIANT GREAT Happy Birthday to a woman I have numbers: 5, 16, 18, 19, 34 and kinda 27 (but 5th grade) in common with.
It’s nice to know these 35 things about you. You’re silly though toliet and fart jokes, didn’t think that was a girl thing at all.
That made me laugh…Love #21. I’m a klutz too…I think it’s funny when people fall….as long as they don’t get hurt!!!
Happy Birthday!

Happy happy birthday!
Happy Birthday – what a great idea to post all those very interesting things about you! Wishing you a fabulous day.
That was funny! Happy Birthday, girl!
Happy Birthday!! That scene in Along Came Polly brings me to tears of laughter every time!!
Happy Birthday. Make sure to love 35. I just turned 36 and I consider it On the Other Side. Wrote a whole post about it on my birthday Mar. 9th. No one can tell me different. I AM On the Other Side. Oh well at least I feel no older than 27ish. Hope you had a great one!
Happy Birthday! There, that is out of the way.
Now, about #28. I have alway felt like a gross girl when the scene in Nacho Libre comes on and he farts as he propels himself away from the cliff. I am so happy to know that I am not alone.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy Birthday! Oh the memories!! When I was in the second grade I fell in love with an older man(3rd grade). I spent recess chasing him around the playground and kicking him in the shins! He must have been wearing unlucky jeans:)
Happy Birthday!
Diana,
You are too funny! Happy birthday! We ‘re the same age…at least for a few more weeks:) I had horrible swelling with my first child, too. No shoes would fit me except slippers!
Happy Belated Birthday!
I love following your blog – lots of great ideas. I’m wondering if you’ve ever seen or used Rub ‘n Buff? My company markets this product. It’s made from carnuba wax and is available in a variety of colors, although the most popular are metallic gold and silver. It’s used on craft projects, furniture, home decor, frames, chandeliers, etc. I’ve seen a lot of great transformations using this product. If you’d be interested in trying and blogging about I’ll send a couple samples your way. thanks
Happy belated Birthday DIANA (since I am one of the losers that called you Diane). One of my very good friends is a Diana and her mom is Diane too. Hope you had a good one.
