11 Random Things about myself:

1. First of all, I'm not going to follow the rules.

2. Doing the baby's registry was one of the hardest things I've ever done.  So many decisions.  Should the highchair match the kitchen?  Will we have another kid?  Should everything be pink?  It's harder than you would think.

3.  My baby brother moved out of my parent's house this past weekend.  He's 25. 

4.  I think my dad is depressed over him leaving.

5.  My sister quit smoking about two weeks ago.  She's been a mess.  She may be bitchier than me right now. 

6.  My mom got a new sewing machine.  Buttons, Hugs and Stitches is kicking butt and taking names.

7.  I'm glad Button is staying inside my belly but I'm ready for her to be here.  

8.  I'm ready to start remembering things again.  I forgot to certify Matt's GI bill this semester.  Fail.

9.  My favorite band broke up.  The new band that most of them started sucks.  

10.  I've been hot all winter.  I run my fan in my office while everyone else runs a space heater.  I'd like to unplug them.

11. Cereal rocks my world.

Mimi's Questions:

1. What's your favorite color? Pink and teal and purple.
2. Favorite number?  Ummm.... 7.
3. If you could trade bodies with the opposite sex for one day, would you? And why? **snickers**  No way, gross.  Boys are gross.
4. Could you kill someone if you had to to save your life or someone you love?  Most likely.
5. What's your favorite movie that you are embarrassed to admit? I have a hard time watching movies.  I can't stay focused on one show that long.
6. What's worse...cooking dinner or thinking of what to cook?  Thinking of what to cook, for sure.
7. Favorite book?  I like anything by Sophie Kinsella although I haven't had time to read a book that wasn't a school book since the summer.
8. What thing makes you gag?  Mustard, sick.
9. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?  Home to sit on the couch.  That's not too much to ask for.
10. Is your Christmas decor down?  Yes.  We do still need to move our furniture back but Matt won't let me help do it.
11. Would you go to the moon if given the opportunity?  Na, there's nothing there to do.

I'm sorry but I don't have the time, nor the patience to tag 11 people.  If you haven't done this and want to, feel free.  Use the same questions. :)

And I'm going to link up with Talk to Us Tuesday today.  Happy Tuesday!




Hope you are all having a fantastic week!

Award and Questions

Forever ago, I was tagged by the Annoyed Army Wife to answer some questions.

So here we go:

1. What side of the bed do you sleep on?
I always sleep on the side farthest away from the door.

2. Do you have an alarm clock that you can dock your iPod in? If so, which one and do you like it?
No I have a $10 alarm clock that I only use to look at the time. I use my cell phone's alarm for my alarm clock.

3. Should I get an iPhone when my contract expires on my current phone (in less than a week)?
I wouldn't because I'm at a computer all day. I'm not really into all those fancy gadgets either. But if you think it would make your life more enjoyable or add some convenience, then go for it.

4. What's your favorite cookie to bake, if you bake?
I haven't made cookies in forever. But I love no-bake cookies but I guess that probably doesn't count as baking.

5. What's the most annoying noise in the world to you?
Slurping, hands down.

6. Who was the first person to break your heart?
Oh, some asshat.

7. What time do you wake up in the morning usually?
6:20 a.m. and then snooze until around 6:35.

8. What time do you normally go to bed?
I go to bed around 9 p.m. and usually fall asleep around 10 p.m. Lame I know.


Then, I received this award from Erin at Every Branch. Thanks for the award!

Rules

1. Thank and link back to who gave you the award.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Pass it along to blogs you've recently discovered and enjoyed.

4. Leave the recipients a note telling them about the award.

So let's see.... 7 things about myself....

1. This semester is boring the crap out of me. I have a 98% in one class and a 96% in the other.

2. I'm not looking forward to Christmas this year. It's mostly the financial aspect of it that I hate. It's just a lot of money to spend on stuff that people don't really appreciate that much anyway.

3. In the last 12 years, every job I've had I've worked for at least 5 years or I'm still working at.

4. I like to look up the most random stuff online. Yesterday, I was looking at personalized ornaments for the pups.

5. Eyebrows are the first thing I notice on a person.

6. Sometimes I call Matt "shug" like Nancy Gribble says on King of the Hill. The pups are "lil shugs".

7. Last night I made stuffed green peppers for supper. They are Matt's favorite.

I'd like to pass this along to:

I was tagged

by two people to answer some questions. I swear someone tagged me in a wedding questionnaire recently too but for the life of me I can't remember who, when, or where.

First I was tagged by Frugalista @ Frugalista Getting Married. She's one of my favorites. She's honest, beautiful, and always leaves me positive comments.

1. If you could have one wish granted what would it be?
I'm actually pretty content. I'd like for there to be more hours in the day sometimes. And I'd like for my family and pups to live forever.

2. Do people in your real life know about your blog or do you keep it to yourself?
A few people know about my blog. My mom (hi mom!) and my husband read it whenever I post. My sister just recently found my blog too.

3. If you could change one part of your body or appearance what would it be?

I'd just like to lose weight but I'm working on that.

4. If you became a billionaire would you quit your current job?

I probably would quit my office job so that I could focus on school. I keep bar tending once a week or so.

5. What do you like best about your body or appearance?

My eyes. The are bright blue. And my eyelashes are super long.

6. What is something that people might be surprised to know about you?
I have nothing really surprising or exciting that I can think of. Some of you may not know that I was a college drop out because I loved to party. Now I'm going back to school and have a 4.0.

7. If you were forced to give up one of your 5 senses which one would it be?

Probably smell because a good smelling food can make me hungry and a bad smell makes me sick to my stomach.

8. If you could have any superhuman power what would it be?

The ability to read minds. Then I would never have to guess what people are thinking.

I was also tagged by Nicole @ Sailor's Sweetheart. Nicole and I are fairly new to each other's blogs but I love reading her blog.

1. What is one piece of advice you've been given, mantra, etc. that you try to live by? For example, mine is "Everything happens for a reason."
I believe that everything happens for a reason too. One saying that annoys the shit out of me is, "It is what it is." Obviously. If it were not what it is, it would be something else.

2. What is your idea of a perfect day?
Sleeping in, waking up to the house clean, lounging around with Matt, and playing with the pups.

3. If you could eat one food, and only one, for the rest of your life, what would it be?
If I wouldn't have to worry about gaining weight, I'd say chicken alfredo. If not I'd probably go with grilled chicken.

4. What is your favorite movie and why?
Sweet Home Alabama. I just love the story line and that they end up together in the end. I also love all the Cheech and Chong movies because they are hilariously stupid.

5. If you could tell one person who is no longer in your life (for whatever reason) something, what
would it be?
I would tell my friend that died way too young that I have not and will not forget about him.

6. If you we're going to be stranded on an island and could only bring 3 books with you, what books
would they be and why?
Assuming I'd have my guitar, I'd bring the three biggest books of guitar tab I could find. Definitely some Led Zeppelin tab.

7. What clothes are you most comfortable, feel most yourself, in? Jeans and a tee, sweats, dressed up, etc.
Hands down, jeans and a baggy t-shirt. Sexy huh?

8. What do you think is most important thing in a relationship?
Communication. You might not always agree on something but if you can talk about it that helps.

Thanks ladies! I'm not going to tag anyone because I've seen this floating around a lot.

Hope you are all having a great week!

Question & Answer Part 2

I really don't have anything new or exciting to talk about. Minus that we went camping over the weekend and had a great time. The boys absolutely love camping.

I had a few more questions to answer so, here you go.

From Katie @ The Adventures of Josh and Katie

When you were little what did you want to be when you "grew up"? I think I wanted to be a teacher. But really, don't most kids?

How did you know he was "the one"? I knew Matt was the one when I told him everything about me and he didn't turn and run. And maybe something to do with the way my stomach felt the first time we kissed.

Do you believe in regrets? Or just learning experiences? I do regret some things but once it's done, it's done so I try not to worry about it and just learn from it.

From Mrs. S at The Adventures of Mr. Superman and Mrs S.

What would you do with a million dollars? A lot. First, I would do whatever it takes to get pregnant. Then, I would pay off our house and truck. Then we would build a house (not real big) in the country with lots of land so that no one could live close to us. I would want an underground pool with a slide and a hot tub for the winter time, a green room for my plants, granite countertops and nice cabinets, and the biggest walk-in closet with lots of clothes, shoes, and purses. We’d have a huge fenced in yard, so the boys would have plenty of room to run.

Then, I would pay off my mom and dad’s house so, mom would quit working and watching my kid(s). I’d drive to Alaska like I want to. I’d keep driving my car, until it fell apart. I probably would work less so I could finish school quicker. As in, I’d work Tuesday through Thursday from 9-1. I’d buy Matt a tractor and a four-wheeler so he’d stop talking about getting one all the time and if we were living in the country we would probably need one. I’d probably get a rabbit, some turkeys, a baby goat, and some ponies.

I would donate some of it to the VFW in our town because they are broke as a joke. I’d donate some money to the animal shelter, too and maybe adopt some animals, no cats though. I would probably buy a bigger camper but keep ours. Then, I’d save the rest.

Now, I really wish I had a million dollars. *Sigh*

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Question & Answer

Awhile back, I gave you the opportunity to ask me questions and in return I would answer them. I know it's taken me forever to do this but here it is.

From Whitney at Everything Happens for a Reason

What is your dream job? I want to be an accountant. So I suppose that’s my dream job. I love numbers.

What is your favorite meal? Currently my favorite thing to make is zucchini casserole. I love zucchini in the summer time. There is a ton of different ways to make it too.

Where is somewhere you would like to go, but haven't been before? I want to go to Alaska, during the summer. Not only do I want to go there but I want to drive there. The hubby said “no way.”

From Los at Plethora

Where is your favorite vacation place? Anywhere camping, I don’t really have to go far to consider it “vacation.”

Who would you most like to meet (dead or alive)? If I could “meet” anyone I would want to meet my friend that died 11 years ago. I like to be able to party with him and our other friends just one more time, listen to him play guitar again, and tell him that I will never forget about him.

What is your favorite food (or drink)? My favorite food is pasta, any kind really. My favorite drinks of the non-alcoholic variation are coffee and water. Sugar free Red bull and Grey Goose and Bud 55 are my go-to alcoholic beverages.

From Mrs. S at The Adventures of Mr. Superman and Mrs S.

If money weren't an issue, where would you go for a dream vacay? If we didn’t have to worry about money, I would like to go on vacation for a couple months and just road trip around The States with our camper and our dogs.

What would you do with a million dollars? I started writing and writing about this so I'm going to dedicate a whole post to it.

From Brittney at A Day In The Life Of A Navy Wife

What do you love and hate most about being a milspouse? I love the sense of pride it gives me. I love that I was strong while my husband was deployed and became a better person because of it. I hate the hurry up and wait and the fact that stuff is always changing.

How did you and your hubby meet and fall in love? We’ve been friends since the 90’s. Literally. We ran around with the same group of people. We started "talking" after we had been friends 10 years and I was love with him before I ever kissed him. He was at Ft. Lewis when we started “talking.”

From Shayla at Sunshine & Sprinkles

How many children do you want to have? Preferably I would like to have twins. One boy and one girl.

What are the best and worst things about being married??? I think the worst part is that I’m not as independent anymore. I used to love how independent I was. The best part is knowing that it is forever, and that no matter what, I will always have Matt.

From Jennifer @ Crazy Shenanigans

Where's one place that you'd love to travel to but haven't been? Besides Alaska, I would love to go somewhere in the Caribbean and drink fruity drinks with umbrellas on the beach.

From Mrs. B. @ From Our Place To Yours

What are the websites you MUST check every day? During the week, besides blogger, I check my facebook, my school website, and our bank website. On the weekends, I don’t write blogs, only read them, and check my facebook.

From Random Musings of My Life

What is one thing you have done (young or old) that you wish you could take back or change? I can’t really think of anything. Everything that I have done has made me who I am today.

What is the grossest habit you have? Hmmm... I'm a picker. Pimples, scabs, ect. I need to quit.

If you had all the money in the world what would you change? (Interpret how you wish) I would get rid of a crappy music. I would pay all the no talent assclowns to quit and burn all their music.

Who was the first boy you kissed? Some douchebag, who is now a rodeo clown.

One fun memory from your wedding... Instead of blowing bubbles or throwing rice when we walked out of the church, everyone took a shot.

Thanks for all your questions! I had fun answering them.
