10 Things You Didn’t Know About Shelly

Time for a fun but informative post here on the Two Classy Chics blog. Many of you have been following this blog for years and others may be relatively new to this lifestyle blog. Well guess what? Today I am going to share with you a few things I bet ya didn’t know about me!

10 Things You Didn’t Know About Shelly

1. When I was a young teenager I wanted to grow up to be a flight attendant. However…when I was 17 years old I changed direction and ended up becoming a nurse. Yes, a nurse! I retired from that profession back in the mid 1990’s due to health problems.

2. I am allergic to tree nuts but I can have regular nuts like peanuts. My allergy to tree nuts started when I was 14 and ended up in the hospital ICU after ingesting walnuts. Needless to say…I now hate tree nuts!

3. As you all know…I have one living child. My daughter Jenelle is a reviewer here on the TCC Blog. What you don’t know is that I was pregnant 5 times and lost 4 babies. I lost three during miscarriages and one was ectopic and was surgically removed. I treasure my daughter Jenelle because she is a wonderful gift from god!

4. I got married to my husband at age 18. We were BOTH preached at that I was too young to get married and certainly not to a man who was 8 years older than myself. Luckily for us…we didn’t listen to any of them and got married. We just celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary earlier this month.

5. I love animals…well, most animals! The animals that I despise and can do without are: snakes, spiders, mosquitoes, bees (allergic), fruit flies, house flies, worms, beetles, etc. Gross me out!!! Nasty!!!

6. If I could travel to any country in the world outside of the United States I would want to travel to and visit the country of Belize. Hey…did you know it’s a HOT honeymoon spot? Perhaps it would make a great 31st wedding anniversary destination!

7. If I could travel to any area within the United States I would pick the outerbanks of North Carolina. Oh my gosh…it’s so beautiful and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to live there!

8. I used to have long hair, really long hair! About 8 years ago my hair was down to almost the top of my waist. I decided to have it cut off and to go short. I donated all of that hair to Locks of Love! Great charity and if you have long hair and wish to go short…I highly recommend Locks of Love.

9. I have a few fetishes or obsessions! I like a very neat, clean and organized home. Dirt and dust drives me batty! I must have my toes and nails painted at all times (hate naked nails). I have to sleep with my feet uncovered and with no socks on! If you cover them up or make me wear socks to bed, well…I will wake up every hour and be miserable! When I sleep, I have to have complete quietness and no lights on.

10. I was a popular kid in school but never left it go to my head and I was never snotty to others. I treated all people the same. I didn’t have to have the best of everything growing up and was content in school to be just who I was…never pretended to be anything that I wasn’t. Not all popular kids are brats!

Well, there you have it! Ten things you didn’t know about me! I hope this little blog post has helped you to get to know me a little bit better. Now…tell me something about you?
