I always rate upon receiving a card/package, so if you sent yours and I haven't rated, please let me know to make sure I did receive it! Also, I will always send swaps! So please, if you don't receive one from me, let me know before rating!

Warning..I edit my profile often to change it up and add things..it's an always changing project!

After having the wording on my profile the same for more than a year, I'm going to try to edit it some so you can enjoy coming back to visit my little place on the web. :) My name is Blair and I'm 27 years old. (err..27 years YOUNG) I am happily married to my best friend whom I grew up with, we've known each other since we were 9. We got married on February 28, 2009 in Las­ Vegas, Nevada­! Our biggest passion in life is bowling. My husband and I own a business at the bowling alley, we run the Pro Shop where people buy their bowling balls and bowling equipment. Bowling takes up almost all of our life! My husband actually has his bowling pro card, so maybe you'll see him on television one day. (Can't hurt to have high hopes, right? )Haha.

I love cooking, cleaning (yes, that's weird but I do), playing XBox 360, texting, listening to my music (HUGE Lex & Terry podcast fan), and playing cards (Blackjack and Three Card Poker are my specialties, but I use to rock at Texas Hold 'Em). My DVR is probably my favorite thing I own, although my iPhone is a VERY close second. I DVR every show that I watch. What are these things you non-DVR people call "commercials"? My fast forward button eats them. :P

I'm not as crafty as I wish I was, but I do enjoy working on certain crafts! I enjoy crocheting, love paper crafts such as making cards, envelopes, gift tags and stickers. I have a dream of learning MANY other crafts, Swap-Bot opens up that thirst for new crafts. I'm constantly amazed by some of the talent I have seen on this sight! Oh to be a fly on their wall for a day to learn the tricks of the trade.

The reason I joined Swap-Bot was to meet people I would never meet. I stay super busy with working and owning a business, but I have free time during the day at my administrative assistant job, and I thought it would be a good way to have relationships (friendship ones ;)) outside of my small town. I'm very open minded and I've been told that I'm a really good friend. I'm loyal and I'm always there for support and friendship.

I like things done my way.

I am trying to understand sports a little better. Football is my new favorite sport, and my husband and I are big Washington Redskins fans! I love the energy of big live sporting events!

My husband is my best friend.

I buy Cosmopolitan­ magazine every month the day it comes out. It's my weakness.

I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I love spontaneity. I'm kind of impulsive. Sometimes that's exciting, and sometimes it gets me into trouble.

I never return phone calls.

I think a lot; I lack the ability to shut my brain off. Sometimes it keeps me up at night.

I ask a lot of questions. I don't consider it a way of being nosey (because I'm not the gossip type), but a way to get to know people. You won't know if you don't ask!

I'm very indecisive..­and I hate it.

I like the flexibility and instant gratification of digital photography, but I like the surprise you get when you develop film, too.

Nosy people annoy me to no end.

I have a short attention span. I'm easily distracted. My head's always in the clouds. Daydreaming isn't an activity for me; it's a way of life.

I hate petnames.

People who whistle all the time scare me.

And so do people that wink at me...

I love, love, love to bowl. But not as much as my bowling addicted husband.

I hate chocolate, ketchup, seafood and hotdogs

Even though I'm usually blush on the inside, I don't believe many compliments I get.

I can't stand being nagged.

I'm one of the nicest people you could ever meet. (Hehe, not to sound conceited, but I'm just a genuinely nice person and love meeting new people.)

I use exclamations (!!) and parenthesis () way too much! I'm sure it tends to annoy people, but I don't mean for it to!
