THE CIRCLE JANUARY 2015: NEVER HAVE I EVER...

neverhaveiever
Happy New Year, Circle friends! I am so pumped to read your posts that I'm not even going to come up with a funny introduction or segue. Yep, you can just hand over the Best Blogger Ever award now...

My co-host this month is not only hilarious and inspiring, but she's such a gem in the blogging world. Amanda's honest, she's kind, and she writes the BEST blogging posts ever. And we so happen to have named our blogging series the same name (here's hers/here's mine). So basically, we're twins. But I'll let her do some talking now and introduce herself to ya!

Here are a few things you should know about me: I don't like coffee, and I don't own a smart phone, so you won't hear me talking about apps or coffee shops on the blog. What DO I love? Jesus, writing funny stories, sharing running and blogging tips, and making Shutterfly photobooks. Oh, and eating cupcakes. Come over and visit me at The Lady Okie Blog, and I'm sure we'll be friends in no time.

When Amanda and I were brainstorming topics, we went back and forth about a few different ones but landed on this one because we both wanted something fun and for lack of a better word, different. I think this prompt could go in so many different directions and I can't wait to read yours!

So here are my answers to the prompt, Never Have I Ever...

EATEN A PB&J SANDWICH. Weird, right? Well, not so weird if you're allergic to peanuts! Honestly, sometimes I wish that I wasn't just so I could have an easy go-to snack/meal, though.

READ OR WATCHED HARRY POTTER. I'm sure you're either A.) leaving this blog immediately or B.) gasping with disbelief. My parents were never huge fans of the idea of magic when I was a kid so I never jumped on the Harry Potter train. Someday, maybe?

USED A DISHWASHER. I've actually already disclosed this fact before, but maybe (hopefully?) you haven't read this one too recently. My parents prefer hand-washing dishes so that's all I've ever known!

GONE TO PROM (OR ANY HIGH SCHOOL DANCE, FOR THE MATTER). I'm not sure I actually missed out on any of this, though. You can call me a crazy person for skipping out on this but I'll just call myself a thrifty homebody.

HAD A CUP OF COFFEE. I'm thinking that this prompt could be answered with a lot of food facts about yours truly. But I have never had one cup of coffee (except for a frozen mocha drink my dad got). The smell and taste is just not my jam.

LEFT THE COUNTRY. This is one of the ones I really want to change, though! I've never left the country (not even Canada) but I hope to someday because although traveling sometimes stresses me out (or mostly airports/airplanes), I know there's a lot out there that I have yet to see.

So what have YOU never ever done before? Is there anything that we have in common or anything that you hope to never accomplish someday? Jot them down and link up with us! Amanda and I cannot wait to dive into your posts!

Mark your calendars because next month we're writing (and sharing!) letters to our past selves. Feel free to write a serious letter, a silly letter, or something in between. You could choose to write to your past self as a child, teenager, or even last year's self, too. And if you're bold, share an old photo, too! The link-up will go live on Wednesday, February 11th and I cannot wait to read your letters then!
