29 things for 29 years

Today is my 29th birthday…I’m more aware of this birthday than others because of my30 before 30 list(which I’ve barely made a dent on) and because it’s the last year in my 20s!! Gahh! I thought it would be fun to share 29 things about me…some are quirky, some are truths I’ve learned & some are get to know me!! This may also count as my first confessions post!


1// I have this weird ability to memorize songs. I can also guess most songs from the first note I hear. Can’t play an instrument to save my life 




2// I’m a huge fan of Jeopardy. I watched it growing up and nothing brings me greater pleasure than getting an answer right that the three contestants didn’t get




3// I am incredibly close to my parents – I talk to them on the way to work every single day and then again on the way from work




4// I always feel the need to buy more pens, stationary and purses…I feel like I can never have enough. Gary disagrees 🙂




5// I can read people’s lips – really comes in handy when we’re in a crowded and loud bar and you can’t hear a thing…or if you want to be sneaky with people haha




6// The question I get asked most frequently is what my nationality is and when I was in college I loved to play around and say I was Greek, Portuguese or even Persian…now I just stick to Russian! 




7// In college when we went out, sometimes we didn’t want to say our real names, we’d give out fake ones…mine was Penelope! For some reason guys used to think my real name was actually a fake name




8//  My sister is often times my sounding board for business ideas – she just gets it




9//  I make a to-do list for myself every day, except for Saturday…that’s my day to just enjoy




10// I will justify a gel manicure or lip stick purchase 




11// I have a sweet tooth…I basically need something sweet every single day – see photo above as exhibit A




12// I’m actually not a big drinker – I like one glass of wine or prosecco, any more and I get sleepy! 




13// No surprise to many of you, but sushi is my food of choice and it’s a safe assumption to make that I have it every Friday if we’re in town! 




14// There needs to be some sort of back ground noise like a fan or a/c on in order for me to fall asleep




15// I get this super high pitched cutesy voice when I see a baby or cute puppy! Gary does the best impression of me!




16// I sometimes forget that I’m an actual adult with a husband…like how did time fly by so fast?!




17// I am a goody-goody! Always have been, always will be. Something about getting in trouble still terrifies me! 




18// When I get dressed for a night out – my mind immediately goes to when I will come home and get into my comfy clothes…literally can’t get into my PJ’s fast enough




19// I honestly had no idea that I would still be blogging two years after starting




20// For 26 years of my life my initials were BS…thankfully I got married and now they are BSP! You now know why I didn’t have anything monogrammed until then!




21// I cry at the drop of a hat…reading or writing something sentimental or watching a commercial! 




22// I love not having to drive a car every day, but I miss owning one




23// I didn’t start drinking coffee until after college, now I have one cup a day and it can barely constitute as coffee as it’s mostly milk (creamer) and a hint of sugar! 




24// I own more pink/nude lipsticks that one person should have




25// I’ve realized that the arm pop I do in almost every single picture might need to stop 




26// I’m a creature of habit & love routine…give me my normal wake-ups, walk to work, dinner and nightly shows and I’m a happy girl




27// Speaking of shows – I may or may not have an obsession with The Voice & the banter that goes on between Adam & Blake




28// I’ve never met a lobster I didn’t like (seafood obsessed)




29// I’m so incredibly thankful for all the friendships in my life! There are people I’ve known for 20 years and those that have only been in my life for 2 years, but the impact that they have had on my life has been amazing!




Phew, coming up with 29 things about myself is hard!! Do we have any similarities?!

    Happy birthday!!! I turn 29 next Tuesday and was thinking of doing something similar but I don't know that I can think of 29 things… I am such a creature of habit and so is Travis, I tease him that if I just pick a random day of the week and time I can tell you exactly what we would be doing.

    Happy, happy birthday!!! My 29th is on Sunday so I may be stealing this idea for next week. LOVED getting to know more about you – we have lots of similarities. I too am a goody-goody, I get anxious about anything that may get me in trouble. While I don't talk to my parents everyday, my mom and I email every morning. I need something sweet, too. The list could go on. I hope you have just the best day!!!

    Happy Birthday Biana!!!! Wow we are similar!!! I have a sweet tooth, buy at least one new pen, notebook, coin purse a week; I watch Jeopardy everyday with my husband, and I used to not get things monogrammed either because my initials were MAH, now their MAC. lol =P

    I hope you have a great birthday and it was awesome reading about you!!! =)

    I just love this… & reinforces that I know if we lived near each other, we'd be great friends 🙂
    I totally cry for every emotion at the drop of a hat too 🙂 … & I always try to read lips. I feel like I'm good at it, but yeah… probably not so much. Do you watch those Jimmy Fallon games where they lip read? haha… I love Jeopardy too & love when a category comes up that I know & I can nail all of the questions. I feel like a boss.
    I hope you are blessed with the most amazing year yet!!!! Happy Birthday to you lady!

    Happy 29th! This is a great list and I can totally relate to the adult thing…I seriously still have trouble as I see myself as 28 in my mind and now that my daughter is 25 I'm like WTH. Totally have to have some sort of noise to sleep and get way too excited if I check into a hotel with a fan or a noise machine available to check out.

    Hope you have the most amazing day!

    Actually, we have A LOT of similarities! I too am super close to my parents and talk to them every single day, I love me a good pen, I can also read people's lips, not a big drinker either and my coffees are really weak! LOL! High pitched voice…yep, I think most girls do that with puppies and babies. 🙂 Hope you have an amazing day!

    What a complete and utter JOY you are and your parents must be bursting with pride! I LOVE that you talk to them twice a day! I am old enough to be your Mom (omg or Grandmother!! I am 60!!! But I am a SUPER YOUNG 60 and have friends in their 20s and all ages!)………you are sooo level-headed, wish I had had even half of your talent in my 20s…hell, I wish I had it now! I am like you with knowing/memorizing songs…it's unreal. Doesn't matter the genre, I am into ALL types of music and I have that same skill! I also LOVE buying lipstick, always have. PJs, yes! LOVE LOBSTER!!! You are just such a joy, I am so glad I came upon your blog last summer. Wishing you the HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS!!!!!!!!! Oh and I am the same with sleeping with a fan and background noise too! xoxo

    March 10, 2016 / 4:24 pm

    Biana, to say I love this post is an understatement! You and I have so much in common and it was great to realize that with this post! You look very Portuguese (I'm part) as well as Greek, are you all that you listed or just Russian?! I'm also part Irish and Lithuanian and no one ever believes me, until they see my mom an her red hair and freckles! You don' look like a Penelope at all, lol, so that's why the guys thought you were faking it, hahaha…omg, you're too funny! Ok, so before I got married, my last name was….Salmon! Haha! Yup, so I would just say here as soon as the teachers called Jalisa, so they wouldn't say my last name! I am the WORST when it comes to reading lips, I can't do it and hate when people try with me because I'm always, like huh? And I get frustrated! I too can't believe I'm in my late 20s and married, like seriously, I feel like I was in high school the other day, what the heck happened?! I talk to my mom every day and we have such a great relationship, I always joke around with her and call her hot stuff or hot mama and she love it, haha! I think it's awesome that you talk with your parents twice a day! Anyway, I loved the post and you are such a cool person, it was so great getting to know you more! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, gorgeous! Cheers to many more filled with joy, health and wealth!

Close with parents, Jeopardy lover, to-do list every day, sweet tooth, creature of habit, forgetting I'm an actual adult with a husband AND kids? Check check check check check check! Lol.

    Oh, and also, when I used to go out with my girlfriends I always used a fake name as well. I always used Olivia because I loved it so much and now I have a daughter named Olivia. So crazy!

    Happy 29! I met Kyle when he was 29, so when he turned 30 he felt kind of old….but now that he's in his 30's, he loves it.

    Kyle always does the best impressions of me, it's hilarious I have more fun laughing at him mocking me than him making jokes.

    I wish I could read people's lips I'm usually just guessing.

    But wait, what nationality are you??? I get that too. I usually just make up stuff as I go just because I kind of find it inappropriate to say anything about it.

    Happy happy birthday lady! I hope you're having the best time celebrating! Glad I'm not the only one that talks to my parents all the time – it's the best! To do lists – yes! I still do have some for the weekends but they are always very short! And I am such a goody goody – the thought of getting in trouble makes me so nervous and if people even talk to mean with a mean/yelling voice I get so upset – too sensitive, haha!

    Happy, Happy Birthday! We have a lot of similarities. I'm an easy crier! I love the Voice because of Blake & Adam, too! You know I feel you on the stationary, pens, and notebooks. Oh, and I am not always great with songs, but I'm so good with names & remembering how I met people. Hope you have the best day! Love you! xo

    Happy Birthday!! When I turned 30, I made a 30 in the next 30 list. Check one thing off a year. Also, I love Jeopardy too!

    My fake name was Taylor, and who even knows where I came up with that one!! Oh, and I'm the SAME way with songs/music…I'm so glad to hear that there is someone else out there like me! Hope you have a wonderful birthday, and cheers to a fabulous year! XO

    Happy birthday, girlfriend!! As always, I love learning more about you and I'm the same way about memorizing lyrics… I'm especially good with rap songs 🙂 And I'm the opposite when it comes to sleeping- I love a dark, quiet room but Ryan insists on having the TV on (on low most days!). Hope you had a fabulous night out with Gary!

    xo, Kristina

    This was such a fun post and I feel like I'm so much like you on a lot of these things! We watch (and keep a tally score) of jeopardy every night we're home, so I totally feel you on being excited when you get an answer that the contestants didn't get! 17, 17, 21, and 23 are totally me too- though I'm starting to like my coffee less sweet somehow! haha. Going to read your weekend birthday recap next 🙂
