One of my favorite viral posts on Facebook is the post that goes around asking random questions like how many tattoos you have, marital status, etc as a way to get to know your friends better. I thought that would be a great idea for a post to help my new blogging friends get to know me better! I’d also love to know 5 fun things about you too so please add comments below!!!!! So here we go, let’s just dive right in:
1.) My full name is Mary Elizabeth and I am actually a 4 th generation with a Mary or derivative thereof in her name
2.) I grew up spending time in Texas and New York but moved to Oklahoma my senior year in high school (yea, a few years of therapy on that one ;OP )
3.) My favorite color is purple but this barbie girl also loves her pink and black
4.) My favorite food is Indian
5.) My biggest dream in life is to open a horse rescue and rehab sanctuary
6.) My top bucket list item is to go on a Disney Alaskan Cruise
7.) Close second to that is to take a horseback riding tour of the highlands and/or Ireland . (Maybe meet my own James Frazier)
8.) I collect fashion dolls including Barbie, Poppy, and Integrity but my absolutely favorite dolls are my vintage Francies.
9.) My morning routine consists of yoga, meditation, a gratitude ritual, and spending time giving love or even just a quick kiss to my dogs and horses.
10.) My favorite running event is anything Run Disney!
11.) I’m actually related to Pocahontas (so I guess you could say I’m related to a Disney Princess!)

Nice to get to know you! So many things on your list match mine! I live horses and dogs, I live Dr. Who and have quite a few Dr. Who Tshirts! I have been watching General Hospital Since 1978!

I love it!!!! I’m not loving the new season of Dr. Who just yet but always takes me a minute to get used to a new doctor and writer! So great to meet and connect with you!

This is a great list! Mine has NOTHING to do with running. I have 4 Lovies (grandchildren) and they call me LaLa. My favorite show is Criminal Minds. I watch them over and over. I am a potter and make lots of fun things like wonky bowls. I live within 100 yards of my parents and have breakfast every morning with them. I just started blogging and am addicted!

OMG….I can’t imagine living so close to family! I live in NC and my family in is OK. Jealous you get to have breakfast with them every morning. Sounds awesome!!! Would love to see some bowls too! I’ve often thought about trying pottery but def haven’t had success yet lol!

I love that you are honest about your dislike for pumping gas. I too find it such a nuisance, but then I remind myself I am fortunate to have a car to get me around.

AMEN!!!! What a great practice too! I’ve been trying to look things this way too, finding the joy and gratitude in everything! For example, when my dog makes a mess or I have to go muck stalls and not quite feeling like it have to remember I’m grateful that they are all around and happy and that I get to share my life with them!
