Hello, and welcome to Savings in Seconds! In the #Hello2016 giveaway hop, you’ll have a chance to get to know the linked bloggers a little better. We’re sharing some fun and wacky facts about ourselves. Oh…..and there will be some fun prizes offered, too. Savings in Seconds readers, you’ll get to enter to win a $10 Amazon gift code. Which brings me to my first fact — I love Amazon. In fact, I order some pretty wacky stuff on Amazon. Some of my favorite items I’ve found there — my snowing Christmas tree, and some awesome slap bracelets for my son’s school treat bags.
- Some friends from college called me Dede, so that became my blog nickname. My “real” name is Dianna.
- It bugs me that my name is spelled with 2 N’s. When I was younger, I couldn’t find anything personalized because it was different. Now, it’s just a pain to have to spell it whenever someone is writing it down.
- I used to pretend I was married to Phil Collins. I have no idea why.
- After my love affair with Phil, I pretended I was going to marry Joey McIntyre from NKOTB.
- In high school, I had over 100 pen pals all over the world.
- We celebrated Festivus this year with my sister’s family….SO MUCH FUN.
- I hate the sound of metal forks or spoons touching someone’s teeth. Gives me chills just to think about it!
- I’m always, always putting my foot in my mouth.
- Before hubby and I had kids, he bought me a forest green (with tan leather interior) Cabrio convertible. We later traded it in for a more practical vehicle….but I loved that car and wish we still had it!
- I despise cough drops and never eat them…unless they’re Luden’s cherry drops, which taste like candy.
