I Watch Wrestling...You Want To Make Something Of It?

So, these fun gals ( Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi , and Shawn ) are dying to know how I will answer these questions...

{1.} Which activities make you lose track of time?

Surfing the net, crafting, and taking a bath--seriously, I can just keep adding hot water and stay in there forever...

{2.} Is there such a thing as perfect?

Not on this earth, so save yourself some time and quit looking!

{3.} When do you feel most like yourself?

When I'm around the people who don't dress to impress and who don't care if I have makeup on or not.

{4.} Describe your life in a 6 word sentence.

Most days it works for me!

{5.} Share one of your most beloved childhood memories.

Once on a Sunday night, we thought we were going to church, as usual, until our Mom drove straight past the turn off for church and to the coliseum, where she surprised us with tickets to that night's wrestling show. 1. We never missed church and 2. my Mom was a single parent, so I know how much she sacrificed for those tickets. Deep breath, yes I grew up a wrestling fan...and I still watch it. No judging me, kids!

So, these fun gals ( Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi , and Shawn ) are dying to know how I will answer these questions...

{1.} Name five of your favorite new blogs that you're reading.

I've been busy lately, so I've just been keeping up with my old faithfuls, but I have recently added How Sweet It Is. She has some amazing recipes!

{2.} When you were a young child or teenager, did you have an idea of how many children you wanted and what their names would be? Did you follow through on your ideas?

I always thought 2 but the jury is still out.

{3.} What is the silliest thing you fight with someone about? It could be your spouse, sibling, parents, co-worker, etc.

Definitely with the Rev about the household chores. The usual--toilet paper on the roll, sink full of dishes, clothes on the floor. It really is the little things.

{4.} What is your favorite scent that others may not find very nice? Ex. gasoline, sweat from your sweetie, etc.

I LOVE the smell of a Sharpie. Sometimes I find stuff to write with one just so I can smell it...

{5.} What are your thoughts on plastic surgery? (Have you had it? Want it? Regrets?)

Well, I've been told my expressions are hard to read, so Botox would really throw a monkey wrench in that, but I really want some filler between my eyebrows (super deep lines!) and I'd take some help in making mountains out of the molehills, if you know what I mean..

So, these fun gals ( Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi , and Shawn ) are dying to know how I will answer these questions...

{1.} What was the last thing you searched for online?

How to fix the slide on a zipper...its not as easy as you might think...

{2.} If we visit your home state, what is one MUST we should do before leaving?

We live in NC--some would say eat barbecue (I'm not a fan), you could visit historic lighthouses or see the beach and the mountains all in one day, if you were feeling ambitious. If you visit us in the fall, you must go to the Apple Festival and eat tons of junk food!

{3.} What do you think pharmaceutical companies should invent a pill for that
isn't on the market yet?

The cure for stupidity in pill form would be nice, not so great for trees though, since you'd fill up quite a few prescription pads for that one...

{4.} When was your first kiss? Was it good or bad?

I was in the 5th grade, his name was Kerry, and it was on the playground at Mrs. Braswell's daycare. It was just a peck, so not really good or bad---but now all of you Moms are scared to send your kids to daycare, right?

{5.} What is your guilty pleasure TV show that you can not miss?

All of my reality TV shows--Bachelor/Bachelorette, America's Got Talent, Dancing with the Stars, Teen Mom, and on and on...

So, these fun gals ( Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi , and Shawn ) are dying to know how I will answer these questions...

{1.} What is the best or worst pick up line you have ever been given?

I've never been given one, seriously...

{2.} What is your most and least favorite day of the week?

My least favorite is probably Monday--just trying to get back into the work week routine and all of that jazz. My most favorite is probably Saturday, especially if I don't have plans and I just get to do whatever I want (well, whatever I want and the laundry, too, of course...)

{3.} How many hours of sleep do you require each night?

In a perfect world, I'd get 8-10. I'll settle for 7. If I get less than 6, you better watch out...

{4.} Is there a song that takes you back in time? What song is it & what's the memory attached?

I don't know if I just liked it a lot or if my Mom just played it a lot, but I always remember Debby Boone's, "You Light Up My Life" playing in the lower level of our split level house, the level with the horrible wood panelling and hideous curtains. I can also sing pretty much any Barry Manilow tune (again, thanks to Mom!). Sadly this has not really gotten me very far in life...In recent years, no story attached, but I cannot help but smile and have a better day if I hear Hanson's "MmmBop," Boyz2Men's "Motownphilly," or Outkast's "Ms. Jackson.

{5.} What is your biggest guilty pleasure?

Magazines--love them, buy them, read them cover to cover. If they imposed some sort of fine for tree killing and wasting paper, I would still buy them!

So, these fun gals ( Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi , and Shawn ) are dying to know how I will answer these questions...

{1.} You have been asked to give a 10 minute speech to teenage girls. What is it about?

Finish college, wait until you find the "right one" (no matter how long it takes), and always have at least one good girlfriend you can tell everything to.

{2.} Do you have a pet? Tell us about them. No pets? Why?

This is tough, because Scarlett doesn't actually realize that she is a dog...she is a 3 year old Miniature pinscher/Pekingese mix and she is the best EVER. She's like our little baby, except she pitches fits when we try to dress her up. Also, we have 1 fish left who has killed off all of the other fish...

{3.} What is the biggest inconvenience about the place you’re currently living?

The laundry is downstairs in the basement. Steep stairs + heavy baskets of clothes = No Fun!

{4.} What do you think is the single best decision you have made in your life so far?

Definitely the decision to follow Christ--it doesn't make everything smooth, but it makes the bumps possible to handle.

{5.} What are the THREE "nevers" of your life? (things you would never do or have never done.).

Totally hypothetical here because MeeMaw says you never say never...I'll never go skydiving, I'll never wear a thong bikini in public (probably not behind closed doors either, if you want to know the truth!), and I'll never eat mayonnaise.

So, these fun gals ( Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi , and Shawn ) are dying to know how I will answer these questions...

{1.} If the blogging world had a talent show, what would your act be?

I do not get up in front of large groups of people and do anything, period. This is ABSOLUTELY non-negotiable. My nerves will cause either hysterical giggles or full-on weeping. Sorry, kids, can I just run the concession stand? Every good talent show needs a concession stand....and I can bake like nobody's business....

{2.} What's the most likely reason you might become famous?

I can't handle fame, I do not like to be in the spotlight, please see the answer to question #1....

{3.} What question are you repeatedly asked that you are tired of hearing?

When are you going to have kids? Yes--we are getting old, yes--we know how you get them, yes--we are trying, and no--it is none of your business how often. That about covers it.

{4.} What's the last thing you broke?

Well, my wallet is always broke, but I doubt that is what you are asking. I honestly can't think of anything that I have broken recently. And if I could, unless I had already 'fessed up to the Rev so that he could fix it, I probably couldn't tell you.

{5.} Finish this sentence. I can't believe I used to ________.

Spray massive amounts of cheap hair spray (think Rave or White Rain) on my "wings" and blow dry them until they were crunchy. Don't judge, you gals who grew up in the 80's know you did it, too....

So, these fun gals ( Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi , and Shawn ) are dying to know how I will answer these questions...

{1.} What must you do before you go to bed at night?

Take out my contacts lenses and I have to do it last thing before I get into bed because I am blind as a bat. (Right now, the Rev is reading and he is griping about how I don't wear the expensive glasses that I have enough and I should just be taking my contacts out earlier and wearing said glasses more often...blah, blah, blah...)

{2.} What is one thing you must snack on at the theater?

My favorites are Milk Duds, Twizzlers, and popcorn. If I have Milk Duds or Twizzlers I buy them before hand at the store and sneak them in in my purse (don't judge!--that's how Mom raised us!). If we do popcorn, we usually split that and a drink because movie theater concessions are crazy expensive!

{3.} Before going on vacation what must you do?

Fully clean the house top to bottom. I get this from my Mom. If something happens to me while I am on vacation, like an accident or I die, I can't have people coming into the house and talking trash thinking I live like a pig and have you seen how the Rev attempts to make the bed? Cleanliness is next to Godliness---it's not in the Bible, but it still has to be true...it just HAS to be...

{4.} What is one thing you must do every day?

I am assuming that the necessities like bathroom, hygiene, eating, are already a given, so I'll go with talk to the Rev. There have not been many days in the 11 years that we have known each other that we have not talked at least once. We spent hours on the phone every night when we were dating. He always complains that I don't talk on the phone as long when he calls anymore (since working in customer service, I loathe the phone!). He is going to stay on campus for a week next month to take a Master's module, so maybe I will blow up his phone with calls!

{5.} Is there something you do that must be done in a particular order?

Cleaning (please see #3 if you are still oblivious to the need for cleanliness...). Pick up any stray items and put away first, then all of the dusting/polishing furniture, bathroom and kitchen next, vacuum, then mop. I do not appreciate interruptions or deviation from this order...and if I come to your house (which I would totally do!), I will do it the same way!

So, these fun gals ( Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi , and Shawn ) are dying to know how I will answer these questions...

{1.} If you could choose a Super Power, what would it be?

Ok, I'm going to go with coordination. Trust me kids, when you don't have it, you realize just how super it is! But on the off chance that you are looking for a more "super" answer, I'd say the ability to read minds, but not everyone's--some of ya'll probably have thoughts that I just don't want to know!

{2.} What would be your first frivolous purchase if you were awarded a million dollars tomorrow? (and don't say "that's not a lot of money", it sounds pretentious)

I need this like a fat kid needs cake, but I really want one in my life where I am rich and fabulous!

{3.} What would be the hardest current luxury for you to give up?

Hot water, without a doubt! And yes, that is a luxury since not everyone has equal access to it.

{4.} If you were given a choice between being given great wisdom and great wealth, which would you choose?

Wisdom, for sure. If I had that, I would be smart enough to get the wealth! Plus, wealth is kind of in the same category as looks. Pretty (or wealth) is temporary, but dumb is forever....

{5.} I you were to be stranded on a deserted island for 100 days what 5 THINGS would you pack?

Ice cold Diet Cherry Pepsi, Magazines, Bug Spray, Sunscreen, and the Rev (I'll need him to hunt and gather....)

So, these fun gals ( Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi , and Shawn ) are dying to know how I will answer these questions...

{1.} What game show have you always thought you could be on and totally WIN!

Wheel of Fortune - about 15 years ago they had tryouts in our area and I really wanted to go, but I had to work. I think that could have been the moment that changed it all.... I could also rack up some serious cash and parting gifts on an 80's and 90's version of Name That Tune.

{2.}Do you have a tattoo(s)? What are they and what made you chose them? If not, would you get one, yes/no/why?

Yes, 1 small one. Its about the size of a nickel and is on my ankle. It is the Japanese symbol for free (as in spirited, not as in of charge...). If I had it to do over, I probably wouldn't have gotten it though.

{3.}What is your favorite piece of jewelry that you own?

My wedding rings, for sure. I have been only wearing my band, because I have a baguette that is loose in my engagement ring and I need to get it fixed, so I have felt naked for a while!


{4.}What is your driving pet peeve(s)?

I have to drive to get where I am going, you do not have to talk to get where you are going. If you can't converse on the phone and still pay attention, HANG UP!!!

{5.}What was your favorite sitcom growing up that you wish was still on?

I had a lot of favorites growing up, but I am pretty sure that before I picked the Rev, I was going to marry Alex P. Keaton. I loved Family Ties...and Growing Pains...and The Facts of Life...and now I have all 3 of those theme songs playing in my head.... and so do you, you are welcome.

So, these fun gals ( Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi , and Shawn ) are dying to know how I will answer these questions...

{1.}If money didn't matter, where would your perfect vacation take place? Briefly describe.

I really want to go to Hawaii. We are saving up to go for our 10th anniversary in a few years. No set schedule while we are there, just a lot of relaxing...

{2.}What's a bad habit that you have {or had} that is/was hard to break?

I used to bite my fingernails really bad, but I don't anymore. I try to keep them filed and neat, but if one breaks, I have to file them all down, so they will be the same length, weird, right?

P.S. So glad this question was not open to our husbands...

{3.} If you weren't on a diet or counting calories, what would you like to have for dinner tonight?

What? You are supposed to count calories? Who made this ridiculous rule?

Seriously, though, probably the Chicken Marsala at The Cheesecake Factory followed by the Chocolate Tuxedo Cream Cheesecake. This would be my birthday meal every year, if we lived close to one.

{4.} If you had the chance to interview anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and what's one question that you would ask?

I'd say God, but I know that I will get the chance to ask Him all of the questions that I want to one day anyway. And I have a feeling if I don't know the answer to something yet, it's because He is not ready to tell me.

So, I either want to ask some dorky, math genius to teach me the formula to figure out the winning lottery numbers or I want to ask Britney Spears if her hair ever grew back.

{5.} Describe yourself in 6 words.

Wife, Christian, Loyal, Organized, Crafty, Thoughtful.

So, these fun gals ( Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi , and Shawn ) are dying to know how I will answer these questions...

{1} What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex? Are you an eyes or a smile person? Maybe another body part?

I'd say eyes, teeth, and not a visual, but sense of humor. Boring and unable to laugh at one's self does not cut it.

{2} If a movie was being made about you who would you like to see cast to play you? And would your movie be a comedy, drama, romantic-comedy, action film or a horror movie?

Well, it would definitely be a comedy, unless there was a straight-out-of-bed-no-makeup scene and then it might dabble into the horror. As far as who would be cast to play me, I have no clue, but I definitely want some creative license used to make me at least a size 6, OK?

{3} Does your high school yearbook include a senior comment section? If so share what you said about your future goals. Have you met those goals? If you do not have a yearbook just share what your goals where when you were 18 and if you have met them. If you’re brave enough include your Senior Picture!

No comments section, I grew up in the 'hood, I don't think they expected much of us. As far as whether I have met my goals from WAY back then, um, no. I was going to teach, probably Spanish, but that didn't happen and no kids yet, but it ain't over yet, so who knows. A senior picture would just be cruel and unusual punishment for all of us...

{4} What latest trend simply baffles you?

* Justin Bieber hair - get your hair out of your eyes!

* Silly Bandz on adults - I mean really, they are for kids and you do know that they are all the same shape when you put them on, right?

* People who are famous just for being famous - I don't get it...

{5} When you walk into a room how do you present yourself? Do you walk in with confidence and command the attention of others or do you slink in and do your best to go unnoticed?

Total wallflower--if it wouldn't draw unneccesary attention, I'd wear a shirt that said "Please do not notice me."
