1. Our passion is international events politics and religion. Growing up in the south, we were raised not to talk much about these subjects. Now, with the right group of people, these are subjects we can debate for hours.
2. When we have a bad day, I run to the closest place that offers good cheese fries. It’s a coping mechanism from my college days. Tara likes to go have a cold German Hefeweizen. Hey, they are both cheaper than a shopping spree.
3. We both struggle constantly with our career choice. We like the challenge of the work itself, but can’t stand the political nature/arbitrariness of the decisions that are made on a constant basis.
4. We do not mind revisiting some places over and over again. Our goal isn’t to see the world, but to have as many experiences as possible in the places we enjoy.
5. I will search far and wide in each city usually to buy handcrafted earrings. I probably have 150 pairs of earrings now. Tara does not have any particular thing she buys on trips.
6. Our favorite food anywhere is Mexican. The best we’ve had so far is in Los Angeles, Chicago and our hometown.
7. We both were born with an eye defect, which is a fairly common birth defect in premie’s. We had eye surgery when we were 3. We still have bad eyesight, which seems to bewilder people. While I wear glasses everyday, Tara usually wears contacts.
8. Looking younger than we are has as many disadvantages as advantages. We fight to be taken seriously in the workplace and get carded everywhere, which is just annoying.
9. We have only had 2 main hairdressers throughout our life. Even going away to college and moving to VA didn’t change that. We’ve been going to our current one consistently since we were in 9th grade.
10. We are both Big city and small town people. We can be comfortable in any city of any size. We both debate between staying where we are and moving on to a bigger city. Still up for debate.
I really like your writing and posts and your blog in general! 👌🏻just wondering if you would check mine out and give me some feedback as I am just starting up. Thanks so much X 😊
Thanks so much! Will do!
great post.
I like routine, too. I rarely deviate. If I have someone or something I like, that’s who I stick with.
This was a cool look into the similarities and differences between you too. Oddly enough I too return to my hometown to get my hair done….I’ve had some interesting experiences in the past and realized it’s not worth the risk!
