Hey everyone! I hope your week has been going great! I’ve been a little hands-off the blog as I start my new job, but I’m really enjoying reading your comments and connecting with you on Twitter and Instagram. Thanks for all the love! 🙂
Since my brain has been completely drained by the end of the day lately, I figured today would be a perfect survey day.  Jess recently tagged me in a four things survey I have been seeing go around the blogging world. I’ve been enjoying reading everyone else’s answers and was excited to get the opportunity to add my own. Here’s more than you’ve ever wanted to know about me!
Four names that people call me other than my real name:
- Ernie
- Er-bear
- Urn
- Doots (<— Josh and I call each other this. We’re weird.)
Moral of the story: choose a name for your kid that has cute nickname options or they’ll end up with ones like mine!
Four jobs I’ve had:
I’ve worked continually since I was 14 so I have had a bunch.
- Social and Interactive Media Specialist (current full-time job)
- Marketing Coordinator (old job)
- Social Media Manager (current consulting job)
- Ice cream seller at Kohrs Frozen Custard on the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk (My first job ever! And I totally picked it because of the cute uniforms. haha)
Four movies I’ve watched more than once:
- Love Actually
- Despicable Me (1 & 2)
- The Notebook
- Frozen
Four books I’d recommend:
- Pride and Prejudice
- Harry Potter
- The Tipping Point
- Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man (Not even kidding, love this book!)
Four places I’ve lived
- Nebraska
- Pennsylvania
- Florida
- California
Four places I’ve visited:
- Hawaii
- Mexico
- Canada
- Most of the 50 states
(I’m hoping to leave North America for a vacation one day!)
Four places I’d rather be right now:
- On a beach in Hawaii
- Sipping a margarita and eating guacamole in Mexico
- Anywhere in Europe
- On a cruise
Cartoon candy canes are the only version of this holiday treat I enjoy.
Four things I prefer not to eat:
- Peppermint
- Milk-chocolate & white chocolate
- Any chocolate mixed with peanut butter (love the flavors separately, not together)
- Molasses
Four of my favorite foods:
- Avocados
- Brussels sprouts
- Dark chocolate
- Kettle corn
Four TV shows I watch:
- Scandal
- Blacklist
- Shark Tank
- Everything on Bravo
Four things I’m looking forward to this year:
- California next week!
- Getting down to business at my new job and becoming a real asset to the agency
- Ringing in 2015
- Day-to-day adventures with the best guy in the world
Four things I’m always saying:
- “Bomb dot com” – My adjective of choice. For example: kettle corn is the bomb dot com.
- “Punch them in the face” – Â Some people have a go-to curse word, I have a go-to saying. Any time I’m annoyed I say this, despite not ever actually wanting to punch someone in the face. For example: that car cut me off, I want to punch it in the face.
- “In all honesty…” – Â This is followed by almost anything. According to Josh I start a lot of sentences this way.
- Minion noises (Not even kidding, Josh and I speak in our own language. And it totally makes sense to us.)
Four people I tag to answer these questions:
Honestly I’m really late to this survey party. I feel like almost everyone has done it, so I’m not tagging anyone specific. Instead I’m asking everyone to answer one of these questions if you haven’t already!
Questions of the Day: What’s a saying you use a lot? What are you looking forward to this upcoming year? What is a book you recommend?
Haha, your nicknames are CUTE! I had no idea! I was called Joey growing up. It wasn’t until college that I started going by Joanna
I love the nickname Joey! It further ties you to Full House!
How did I not know that you used to live in California? Also… YES for brussel sprouts!
I’ve lived so many places. haha I’m happy to be in one spot now! 😀
We thought long and hard about what to name Emma KAte b/c of the nickname issue!
I love the name Emma Kate! My dream little girl name is Emma Grace!
Ahhh I love this! There is something so great about getting to know the gorgeous people behind the blogs I follow better! thank you for sharing :)))
Where in Cali did you live?
xxoo
Kris
Aw you’re so sweet! I love reading blogger surveys too! I lived in San Francisco and Trenton.
I love that Nebraska necklace!! Where did you find it?
It’s from Etsy!
Hey. I resemble that statement! My nickname is ErBear, too! So hard to come up with names for an Erin. My Mom used to call me toots (not the farting pronunciation) when I was little but seeing as though I was taller than her in 4th grade, it didn’t work so well after that. I also like every single food item that you don’t (but I love all the items you do like, too!).
It’s good to like lots of foods! It means you’ll aways find something that sounds good no matter where you go! haha
What a fun survey! I love everything Bravo too! I would rather be in Mexico right now too! I’ll meetcha there! Thanks for joining in on the Celebrate Southern fun again this week! xoxo
Oh man a blogger party in Mexico would be SO FUN! haha
I love these! I can’t believe you don’t like things mixed with PB!! crazy!
I know it’s so weird! haha It has been that way since I was little!
I have that nebraska necklace 🙂 Home is where the heart is! <3 And TBH, I was prepared to start evangelizing brussels sprouts until I realized they were ALSO YOUR FAVORITE! Love! 🙂 Ina Garten's roasted brussels recipe is my fave!
Brussels sprouts are the best! I love them so much. I’ll need to check out her recipe too! Thank you!
Your nicknames are so cute! I love Ernie : ) I know a girl named Erin who has this nickname too.
