    I’m technically the eldest of 4, but my two (half-)brothers aren’t related to each other and my youngest brother is only 7 so the four of us didn’t grow up together.

    Passing out in the toilet of an aeroplane is the most terrifying thing I can think of. I don’t even like GOING in there!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      There is a big age difference between my younger brothers and me as well. Ahh I am terrified of those bathrooms now!

  • http://www.lammtothelaughter.com/ Brianne

    My favorite color is purple, too! Like the sultry purrrrhhh-ple. Where does your favorite purple fall in the purple spectrum? Haha

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Haha hmm good question, I would say I like the rich purple shade:)

  • http://tidethatleft.blogspot.co.uk/ Amy @ the tide that left

    I was talking last night with my husband about you learning Icelandic. I was saying how great it is to read people’s blogs from around the world and see people doing amazing things.

    I’m impressed by the marathon running too!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Thanks so much! I agree reading everyone’s amazing stories is so inspiring!

  • http://www.travel-vanberry.blogspot.com/ Van Berry

    I can’t stand odd numbers too. From my license plate to the tv volume - EVERYTHING has to be even! :D
    But as opposed to you, I suffered from several broken bones when I was younger and even had to go into surgery because of a broken upper arm with 8….I fell off a stupid pony :D

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Ahh odd numbers just drive me mad! When I was a kid I wanted a cast that everyone could sign so bad. Now I am so glad I never had one!

  • Jordan Kovacs

    Ah, I love these! I have the same organizational tendencies you do!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Thanks so much. Organization is a good trait to have, at least I think :)

  • http://weiderjl.blogspot.com/ Jenn

    Haha I picked our wedding date based on my disdain for odd numbers! We even waited til 2014 because I didn’t want our year to be 2013 … Ok that’s not the main reason but it was a plus!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Haha I think this is a very good reason, a date is important and needs to be on even number days :)

      • http://weiderjl.blogspot.com/ Jenn

        Haha I’m glad i’m not the only one and now I feel a little less crazy!

  • http://bristolinmypocket.blogspot.co.uk/ Sara Rose

    #TeamWine, and mozzarella sticks are seriously the most amazing dish ever invented.

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      #teamwinning Sounds like we would have the perfect girls night with that combination!

  • Rachel Murphree

    Fun! I’ve also never broken a bone, and it kind of scares me that it means I will break one in adulthood, when it is way worse. I blush all too easily myself, when I am nervous, embarrassed, excited, angry, whatever emotion. I really wish I could control it!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I know I think the same thing, I really hope I don’t break the never breaking a bone streak anytime soon! Whenever I am super nervous I can just feel my face getting red and wish I could control it as well!

  • http://www.handandtheheart.com/ Andrea Laughery

    I turn crazy red when I get embarrassed too! It’s a horrid. I also can’t sleep with doors, closets, or curtains weird, my husband thinks I’m crazy!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Don’t worry your not crazy I can’t sleep with any of those open either!

  • http://www.rhymeandribbons.com/ Amanda

    I love reading posts like this! I knew you had siblings but I somehow missed that you were the eldest of 5! I’ve broken many a bone unfortunately! x

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Yes I am the big sister role model, better not mess up! Ugh I am so glad I have never broken bone but I am terrified I will break one as an adult and it will be terrible.

  • http://letuswanderlust.blogspot.com/ Carly @ Let Us Wanderlust

    I love these types of posts! Maybe I’ll do the same one of these days :)

    Numbers 1, 7, 12, 14, 16, 21 and 25 are me to a tee! I can’t stand when you go to a zoo and a snake is passed around to touch! They just freak me out sooooo much! Unfortunately, growing up in rural Australia, I have seen my fair share in the wild which isn’t nice!!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Ahh snakes are just so terrifying to me! I would be so nervous to go outside and see them out there! Aren’t costume parties just the best!

  • http://www.lifeinprogress.ca/ Kathy@Vodka and Soda

    i need a schedule. even if there’s nothing going on, i need to plan out my day from when i get up. and if the schedule is off kilter? I FREAK OUT and feel panicked

      I live by my planner so I know how you feel!

  • http://meetatthebarre.blogspot.com/ Amanda Elizabeth

    I’ve broken one finger….ugh I get those caffeine headaches as well they are the worst!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Those caffeine headaches seriously are the worst, they are so difficult to get rid of!

  • http://anothercleanslate.com/ Kate @ Another Clean Slate

    I’ve never broken a bone either- knock on wood! And I have a hibiscus tattoo too but its pink :)

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I love the hibiscus flower its so pretty, it was my great grandma’s favorite flower so I got it in memory of her:) Yes knock on wood that I won’t break a bone!

  • http://www.adeecodedlife.com/ Dee

    We’re the same for #s 1, 3 (except for the tat), 11, 12 and 14. :)

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Woo hoo for team purple and wine!

  • http://luyoutravel.blogspot.com/ Elizabeth Georgian

    Great post! I’ve never broken a bone either and also have a serious weakness for chocolate (especially nutella). My other skill is that I can do awesome headstands because I’ve done yoga for a long time.

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      When I was in Italy I was in nutella heaven! Awesome I am jealous of your headstand skills!

  • BlushandBarbells

    I’m kind of shocked that you don’t like beer! There are a ton of great micro-breweries in Oregon.

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I know right. I am from a place with such a big beer culture but luck for me we have tons of great winery’s as well and most of the microbreweries have delicious ciders I love.

  • http://southernbelle23.blogspot.com/ Whitney @ EHFAR

    I’ve never broken a bone either!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I really hope I never have to deal with a broken bone, knock on wood.

  • http://voyageofthemeemee.com/ Amanda MeeMee

    I’ve never broken a bone, either! *knocks on wood* And I used to play the flute, too! BAND GEEKS UNITE! :P

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Heck yes, band geeks all the way!

  • http://tothedayslikethis.blogspot.co.uk/ Sammy Dorn

    I love odd numbers. 11 & 7 are my lucky numbers! ;) I played flute in primary school - I was awful!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I was so bad at the flute as well ha, it was a good thing my career ended early.

  • Lisa @ Ameliorer la Vie

    I worked as a barista one summer and it was pretty fun! I’m with ya on the caffeine withdrawal. Every time I sub, I don’t drink coffee and the headache sets in, but that might also be from screaming kids, haha.

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I loved working as a barista such a fun job!

  • ablondearoundtheworld

    1. I suffered that too, I quit drinking coffee. First days were a NIGHTMARE. Now I don’t have coffee-headaches anymore!
    14. Ever tried beer with Fanta? I hate beer as well and love the Feer (or Banta) ahahah :D

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Awesome good for you! I have tried quitting drinking coffee a few times but the headaches are just so painful! Ohh I have never tried a Feer I will have to give it a try.

  • http://www.theartisticbrunette.com/ Megan Thudium

    We’re both coffee lovers! Of course, we get along so well. Plus I’m very excited to learn that you played the flute. You should play it again. :)

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I love a good cup of coffee! I think my mom still has the flute so I will have to give it a try when I am home again and see how it goes.

  • Cachoo Joo

    First post of yours I read and I feel like I learned a lot … haha! Excellent introductory post :P
    My parents almost got me to join 4H too when I was younger - just didn’t have enough time. I was a barista though for a few years, I never grew to love coffee though which people found funny (can make a mean latte tho ;) )

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Awesome so glad you found my blog! I loved working as a barista was so much fun!

  • Jenny P

    My first visit to your blog. What a fun post. I completely understand about open doors, drawers and chairs not tucked under the table when the lights go out at the end of the day. Oh dear!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Welcome so glad you stopped by! I am glad I am not the only one, I can’t stand having a bunch of open doors!

  • http://ifsandsandbutts.com/ Alex

    Oldest of 5! Oh how I envy your childhood (I’m an only).

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Ahh I couldn’t have imagined being the only one. My sister that is right after me is 3 years younger so I never remember a time when I was the only one. Feel free to head to my house for some sibling chaos!
