Getting to know you Sunday - on Saturday

Since tomorrow is Mother's Day - Keely decided to host GTKY today instead.

 

The Questions:

1. What has been your most memorable Mother's Day? (with your mom, as a mom, or with your wife)

To be honest, every mother's day is so special to me. I try to remind my mom how much I love her everyday but I especially make sure I do so on this holiday.

2. Have you ever been pulled over for speeding and were you able to talk your way out of it?

Oh boy - have I? I've been pulled over I believe 9 times or so. Every time I get pulled over, I usually turn on the tears as quick as possible and 8 out of 9 times, it's worked. Guess they think I'm cute or something haha kidding. I think I have a lead foot or something. Or maybe I'm meant to be a race car driver; who knows.

I do have a funny story to tell though.. This one time, I was coming home from M's house and it was like 12:30 AM and I was wearing bummy shorts, a t-shirt and my hair was pulled up all messy. The road I was on goes from 55 to 40 in less then a 1/4 a mile because a toll booth is ahead. I slowed down to about 45 and then stopped to pay the toll. As I'm pulling away, I see flashing lights and I'm thinking "oh shit, I really don't know why I'm getting pulled over, this is ridiculous" and I get this crazy sick feeling in my stomach. So the cop comes up to my car and before asking for license and registration.. are you ready for this ladies?! .. he says.. and I quote "Do you have any automatic weapons or atomic bombs in your car?" Um excuse me?! Do I have what?! What the hell do I look like?! I'm an innocent girl driving home; not someone about to blow up the city? Needless to say, I got a ticket for supposedly speeding but the cop didn't show up to court and I got off :-) What a nutso he was. I was shocked when he asked that. I honestly thought he was joking at first but he was beyond serious.

3. What's the oldest thing you have hanging in your closet?
I'm not a hoarder or pack rat by any means. I clean out my closet at least every 6 months. But I believe the oldest thing I have in there are these wedding bears.. It's two white teddy bears, one dressed in a wedding dress aka the bride and another dressed in a black tux aka the groom. My grandmother who passed away when I was 6 gave them to be when I was little and I've had them ever since. They're very special to me.

4. Do you whiten your teeth?

I have before.. I'm currently not using white strips but I do use Crest Pro Health Whitening toothpaste and I think it works great. I'm huge on having nice, white teeth so I try my best to keep mine this way.

 

5. Underwear or Panties..What do you call your "unmentionables"?
I call them undies lol

6. If you could go on vacation right now..today..where would you go?
anywhere that has a beautiful beach!! The Caribbean? Turks and Cacos? Destin Beach?

7. Do you get offended when people cuss on their blogs?
No, not at all. It's who they are. If I don't like when they have to say, I have the luxury of clicking the red X at the top right.

8. If you had to give up one luxury item, it would be....?

I would give up TV. When we moved into the house we live in now, it took like a week for the cable man to come out and install it and I thought I would go crazy not being able to watch my shows but I was fine :-)

Taking a break from school work for . . .

The questions..

1. Mens chests..hairy or hairless?

Well M isn't really hairy at all and I like it that way so I'm leaning more towards hairless :-)

2. How often do you run red lights?
I try not to but if the light is yellow getting ready to turn red, I'll go through it. I'm sort of an aggressive driver :-X
 
3. If you could raid any celebrity's closet..whose would you raid?
Of course, Lauren Conrad's. I just love her style.
 
4. Would you rather have more followers/friends on Facebook, Twitter, or your Blog?
Blog. 

5. What makes you feel sexy?
Getting my hair done, M, finishing a hard workout, putting make up on and a new outfit.


6. I get excited when . . . 
When I come home and Snugs is so happy to see me, having my hair freshly highlighted lol, have girls nights, M comes home, taking pictures that turn out good, I know I'm going on vacation, school is over for a while, I get paid, going shopping.. Lots of things make me excited :-) 

7. Are you the "outdoorsy" type or more "indoorsy"?
Well I'd say outdoorsy but not in the sense that I want to go camping in the wilderness or hunting or things like that but I love to be outside when it's warm and sunny doing something such as swimming, cooking out, laying out, taking a walk, etc. 

8. Would you rather have your dream home or a million dollars?
I'd rather have a million dollars because then I could build my dream home and still have money left over to do fun things :-) 

P.S - Don't worry. I know I haven't posted in a while and this isn't the best post ever BUT I am still alive and will be returning soon, I HOPE! I'm drowning in school work :-( I need to be rescued! Miss you all! Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

It's Sunday.. so you know what that means..

It's time to learn more about me with another edition of

Getting to Know You Sundayyy! Head over to Keely's blog

and join in on the fun!

The Questions . . .

1 - Why did you start blogging?

This is actually a strange reason.. I was googling something one day and came across a blog and then started looking at more blogs, and I was hooked. I wanted one of my own to document things and it just seemed interesting and fun. I'm so glad I started though because I have "met" so many amazing people!

2 - Who's the one blog friend that you would want to meet most in "real life"?

Honestly, I would love to meet all of you! You ladies are some of the most incredible, down to earth people I've ever talked to. Everyone is so encouraging and doesn't pass judgment. And there's always atleast one person who can relate to you. Don't forget that!
But if I HAD to chose, I would probably choose these 2 ladies:
Liz because she just gets me and helped me through a pretty confusing time; plus, she's such a positive person!
Allison because we've talked about it, she seems super fun to hang out with and plus we could workout together haha.
And of course.. mrs. Kelsey Claire, only so I can indulge in an alcoholic beverage, or 2, with her while sitting on a patio in TX and act way younger then we are :-)
Gosh, I really would like to meet so many more!

3 - Why are you always concerned with losing that "extra 10 pounds" when chances are your husband/boyfriend/friends tell you that you look just fine the way you are?

I don't lose weight for any man or anyone in my life except myself. It has to do with my self confidence and how I feel about myself. I chose not to associate myself with people who pass harsh judgments like that.

4 - What's the one thing you wish guys could understand about you?

Hmm, I think I'm a pretty straight forward girl so I don't think there is anything. I tell how I feel and what I want so I'm not too hard to figure out.

5 - Tattoos. How many do you have and how many are visible when you wear your "everyday" clothes?

I don't have any tattoos. I do want one though. I would probably get Snuggles paw print. She's my child :-)

6 - What was the best year of your life and why?

Very tough question because every year has something great that happened in it. But I guess I'll choose 2005 because it was the first year I was out of high school, 18 years old, and I can say it was one of the funnest years I can remember having.

7 - Name three things you would do if you were a man for one day.

Eat WHATEVER I wanted without having to worry how many calories I consumed, sit with my hands down my pants (cause that's what they do), and have selective hearing.

8 - What's your alcoholic drink of choice that usually raises a few eyebrows?

I wouldn't say it raises eye brows but my favorite drinks are Sangria and a cold beer :-)

And now I leave you with this furball of cuteness:

Don't mind her hair - She's going to the groomer soon!

Getting to know you & weekend recap.

It's that time of the week again . ..

Head over to Mannland's blog

and join in on the fun!

The Questions..

1. What year did you graduate high school?

2004

2. What part of your body do you neglect the most?

My feet/toes especially during the winter months but not anymore since spring is here! I'm getting another pedi on Tuesday ;-)

3. Beach house or Lake house?

Beach house for sure.

4. Mac or PC?

I have a PC but I really would like this:

(macbook pro)

5. Did you wear braces?

Nope, never :-)

6. If you could be one person for a day, living or deceased, who would you be?

To be honest, this might sound strange, but I would like to be someone who lived during the roaring 20's because I think it was such a cool time period. The style and attitudes just seem so carefree.

7. How many times have you moved in your life?

Hmm, I believe I've moved 5 times.

8. Would you rather cook or clean?

I'm not the best cook but I can clean like it's my job.
I'm the queen at organizing as well so I'd rather clean.

Weekend Recap:

So my weekend was fantastic. The weather was gorgeous; the sun was shining and the temp. was in the 70's! I was happy being outide.

On Friday, I got off work early which is always a plus. That night, M & I went downtown for his friend's birthday to a place that is inside & outside. It was a pretty good time. Before we left though, I was hungry so I was bad and got McDonald's :-( I felt so guilty the next day lol.

Saturday, M & I went to my boss's house for a cookout. Since M is graduating soon, her husband is trying to get M a job at his workplace. He works for an awesome company. Everyone got along so well; I was happy. We stayed for a while and then came home to nap. That night, M & I went to a local bar that has seating outside for some drinks & appetizers. I love sitting outside on a beautiful night! Then we came home to watch the games. (Sorry Kansas fans! I was shocked by the loss).

Today is the last day of spring break :-( I don't want to go back to school. Even though I didn't go away for break, I couldn't have asked for better weather or a better week. Since M was going back to school today, we went to his house to watch the MD game (great game by the way, they were so close to winning!) and just hung out until it was time for him to leave. I'm going to miss him but he'll be home again for Easter though.

Sorry for the long post! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend :-)

GTKYS.

I'm back again this week to participate in

Getting to know you Sunday! I really like it :-)

The Questions . . .

1. Are you more of a talker or a listener?
Depends.. if someone needs to talk to me, I'll be sure to listen and offer advice if they want me to. If there's something I need to get off my chest or a topic I feel strongly about, I'm definitely a talker. I think I'm a good mix of both lol.

2. Bra. Underwire or wireless?
Underwire please! I like the girls to look nice haha.

3. I wish I was.....?
Hmm.. I wish I was talented. Like I wish I could draw, or sing, or dance like they do on tv haha.

4. The Academy Awards are on tonight..will you watch?
I'll flip back and forth through the show but I probably won't watch a lot because I'll be trying to accomplish some homework lol.

5. Do you put your deodorant on before or after you get dressed?
After because if not, I'll get it on my clothes lol.

6. Would you rather do the dishes or clean toilets?
Do the dishes for sure. Toilets are nasty!

7. How much did you weigh at birth?
7 lbs, 6 oz.

8. If you could only buy one thing for the Spring/Summer season..what would it be?
Flip flops for sure. I love those things!



Have a good Sunday everyone :-)

Getting to know you Sunday.

I am joining in on the fun that MannLand5 brings us every Sunday. I've seen plenty of ladies do this so I decided to have some fun with them! I've never done this before but I think it's a fun way to get to know me and you! Plus, the questions are always interesting :-) Head over there and participate! Have an awesome Sunday! 

. . The Questions . .

1. Would you rather bungee jump or sky dive?

I would do both. I'd probably like to sky dive more. I'm not afraid of heights or anything like that. I love roller coasters and flying on planes so I can only imagine how much fun both of these would be :-) 

2. When using a public restroom to you squat over the seat or sit?

Well if there are seat covers, I always use those, usually two at a time lol. If not, I squat because I have no idea who was sitting on that seat before me.

3. Favorite flower?

I think hibiscus flowers are so pretty and so are tulips. 

4. Pedicure or manicure?

Pedicure for sure. I love how they massage your legs and feet and then use the hot towels after. It's so relaxing. I wish I could get one every week.

5. How many siblings do you have?

I have 1 biological brother (20). A step-brother (20). Step-sister (15). Half-brother (7).

6. Do you pee in the shower? (gasp!)

I believe I have before but not usually lol. TMI question!!

7. Bikini, tankini, or one piece?

I always weart a bikini. I don't like my legs the most and these swimsuits wouldn't cover my legs anyways lol. BUT this summer, I'll be in better shape (crossing my fingers) so then I'll be happy in a bikini :-)

8. Where do you hate to shop at, but go there anyway?

Wal-mart. Lord, don't even get me started. I go there because of the prices but usually head to Target. The parking lots are terrible & the people there are just from a different planet. Drives me INSANE.
