Ashley, in a Nutshell

I still have this bear, but sadly not the dress

My blogging friend, Erin, did this post a few days ago, and I loved it so much that I decided to steal it. But she said I could, so it’s more like borrowing, with no intention of giving it back.

Enjoy the supremely embarrassing pictures of me over the years.

I am an only child, and I love it.

Only child equals favorite child

I keep this book by my bed, and answer a question in it every night.

I wish I could spend all of my time working on writing a cookbook.

I sing loudly in my car when I’m by myself, more quietly when TJ’s with me, and never if anyone else is in the car.

I dance ridiculously to Black and Yellow right before watching the Steelers play.

Back in my “professional” dancing days

I think a lot more than I speak.

I really want the Steelers to win this week.

I need to learn a few things from my husband about keeping the house clean.

I should get better about answering emails.

Cat lover for life

I can always justify spending money on a new book.

I like cold, rainy, gloomy days so much more than sunny ones.

I love that my married name is derived from a word meaning “snow”.

All thanks to this guy


I make really good chocolate chip cookies, but I prefer mine without the chips.

I always have warm hands, even when the rest of me is freezing.

High school senior Ashley – oh so dramatic

Thanks for letting me borrow your post idea, Erin!

    I am definitely with you on always justifying money for a book and cold hands (and feet!). Great post πŸ™‚

    I am an only child too πŸ™‚

    I’m an only child, too! And it makes me laugh that you dance to Black and Yellow before every game. I’ll have to try that out. Hopefully, we’ll be doing a lot of dancing after this weekend when we have our first WIN! (knock on wood) Oh, and I also love gloomy, chilly days πŸ™‚
