Summer #BlogChallenge Day #20: A Picture of Young Me

--Photo of you as a young child--


This first photo is one I know I have put on my blog before, but of all of my pictures growing up it is my favorite.  I love the way I look and I love pictures with trees in the background.  I also like it because I look so completely different now.  I only had blonde hair for a couple years before it started to darken.  You can see even in this one that I had a hint of brown in my hair already!  The only thing that I wish is that I could remember what we were doing that day!

Summer #BlogChallenge Day #13

--How you see yourself by the end of the year--


I have a few different things that I would like to see as big changes for me by the end of the year.  The first thing that I want to complete is my goal of losing the 50 lbs that I have gained so that I am smaller again.  I want to feel healthy and to try to ease the strain on my body from this extra weight.  I am one of 50 bloggers who are doing Shaklee's Cinch It program for 6 months and I am very excited!  You can follow me on my blog HERE.

Summer #BlogChallenge Day #6: My Nickname!

--Nicknames you have & why you have them--


Today's post sort of goes back to my blog name.  I talked about why I named my blog what I did and I mentioned that Pash is my nickname.  What I didn't do was tell you how I got my nickname.  


Growing up I didn't have any nicknames.  I went by Ashley, even when there were many Ashley's around I was still just Ashley.  I can't even remember people calling me Ash or anything like that.  It wasn't until High School that things started to change.


I got new friends and in my group of friends there were four of us named Ashley.  You know it's really hard talking to people when you sit at a table with that many Ashley's!  We all started to get nick names one was Blondie, another Clover, and we got to me and no one knew what to call me.


My friend Alli!
My friend Alli one day just blurted out P'ash!  It was perfect as odd as that is.  I loved it from the start.  She came up with it because my last name starts with the letter 'P'.  I went by this name for four years.  My boyfriend didn't even know my name was Ashley for a long time (before we were dating) because my friends always called me P'ash!

Summer #BlogChallenge Day #4: Blog Name

--Meaning behind your blog name.--


I admit I have people ask me all the time what the name Parsimonious Pash means.  I had been wanting to start up a blog for a couple of months when I came up with this name with the help of my boyfriend. At the time this blog was going to be solely about me saving money although that has evolved over the months.


I originally wanted something that stood out and it was my boyfriend's idea to use alliteration and I really wanted my nickname 'Pash' to be in the name to make it a bit more personal.  Parsimonious is defined as stingy or frugal.  I wanted to chose something that had to do with being frugal so I thought this was perfect and made me stand out since there are so many blogs with the words coupon, frugal, or money saving in them already.

Summer #BlogChallenge Day #3: 15 Facts About Me

--15 interesting facts about yourself.--



1. I have Charcot Marie Tooth Disease, Kyphosis, Scoliosis, a hip deformity that I won’t write out because I always get the name wrong and will be wearing AFOs in about a week! (will post pictures when I have them!) Yes, I am disabled, but I work hard not to let it hold me back!   

2. I am a student almost done with my BA in Health Care Administration and although this wasn't my first choice I still love what I am getting into.  My first choice was Orthotics and Prosthetic Technology and I really, really miss all of the work I had been doing making orthotics and prosthetics.

3. If you can believe it the picture yesterday is my natural hair color, but when I was little I had blonde hair and it has just gotten darker as the years have gone by. 

4. I love my boyfriend with whom I have been partnered with for 5 ½ years.  We are polar opposites in most ways, but I cannot see my life without him in it.  He knows me inside and out and that is more than enough for me!

5. I love animals, especially my dog, Kratos and cats, Gonzo and Deimos.  I love animals so much that these past couple days have been really tough on me because there is a little baby kitten under the office where I work and I cannot coax him out and it makes me so sad.  I am terrified that he is starving and cold under there with the windy cool weather we have been having.

6. I could read all day if I didn’t have other things to do.  I am not picky I will read kids’ books, young adult novels, paranormals, romances, thrillers, horrors, and non-fiction!  I just love books!

7. I waited 10 years for Diablo III to come out because I am that geeky.  If you are wondering yes I stayed up until 3AM just to start playing.  I did not sleep for 48 hours after buying it.

8. I love photography, but don’t have a working camera aside from the one on my phone.  The old camera I had for 2 years and I took over 3,000 pictures with it.  I hope that gives you an idea of how much I love photography! So, you know of course if you want to give me a free professional grade digital camera I would love you forever! ;) Lol.

9. I love doing the research on the Family Tree for my family since my grandfather cannot anymore.  I started back in high school and really want to get back into it again! I find the history fascinating and it’s exciting to see where the tree takes you!

10. I am a singer.  I sang in choir all throughout schooling and I sang a little in college.  I don’t sing professionally or even in public, but I still love it! <3  It always makes me feel so much better after no matter what my mood was.

11. I am bisexual and very open about it.  I came out to my friends in Junior High and to my parents in High School.  Aside from that I also started a Gay Straight Alliance in high school that really helped a lot of people.  I even got 200 people to sign for the approval of the club!

12. I loved going to MDA Camp as a teenager and loved the wheelchair hockey and archery even more! If it wasn’t over an hour away to the closest wheelchair hockey league I would be on a team.  I do want to get into archery again and hope to in the near future.

13. I desperately want to move to Alaska however I don’t see that ever happening.  Lol.  Especially if my boyfriend gets into making video games like he wants to.

14. I love the Victorian Era and think that I would have fit in real well in that time period.  I also love corsets because of the look of them as well as because they relieve a lot of my back pain. Yes, that is me though it was a few years ago. (When I was 50 lbs smaller.)

15. I can be a little OCD.  My boyfriend and his dad love messing with me when we go out because I have to have everything in a certain spot.  They will move things around and drive me crazy as I put everything back in its spot.
