Life

*Thought provoking questions found here.

What gets you excited about life?

My daughter. Honestly, she is all I live for. I love to try to see the world through her eyes and enjoy being her mom. I am excited about our future together and hope to see and do many things throughout the next 16 years until she decides she is ready to leave her mom :) Hopefully, she and I will be good friends when she is an adult. I want her to always be able to count on me for anything. Whenever I am down, my daughter knows how to bring me back up, and each day I am learning to live a little more and give more because of her.

Ten on Tuesday

1. When you are on a plane and the kid behind you is kicking your seat, what do you do?
I imagine I would turn around and ask the parents to tell the kid to stop but I will NEVER get on a plane so this question does not apply to me!

2. What food that you KNOW is bad for you and you shouldn't have, but you love/eat it anyway?
Hmmm. Cheese? Red meat? White bread? DOUGHNUTS? ICECREAM? I love all bad foods...

3. What is your favorite book of all time?
I haven't read it yet. I am hard to please :-)

4. If I came to visit in your town, where would we eat?
Anywhere fancy...a place where I wouldn't dare take my daughter. She is my only dinner partner these days.

5. You have 500 dollars and 40 minutes to spend it at any store you want. Where do you go?
TARGET. I love Target. And I am pretty sure I could spend that much there very quickly.

6. What blog do you read everyday/the most often?
This one, this one, and this one. Obviously I love reading about the lives of moms with a buttload of kids. Maybe one day that will be me as well.

7. What's the longest you've ever been stuck at an airport?
I wasn't "stuck" but I did wait on my brother once for SIX hours. He had two flights that were both delayed and I was his pick up person. Wouldn't have been so bad had I not been there by myself with a 7 month old who just wanted to crawl around soooo bad.

8. What's your daily makeup/face/cleansing routine?
I shower, then I wash my face with Clinique. Then I use tons of makeup from Sephora and make myself look like Barbie. Dang. Sephora should have been my answer for question 5. I could easily spend $500 on those products!

9. Where is your farthest away friend?
My best friend and ex is 5 hours away from me. Everyone else is "around the corner".

10. Where is your favorite place to go hiking (or to enjoy nature)?
I love vacationing anywhere where there are mountains and waterfalls. So beautiful and peaceful!

Always Wear Clean Underwear

Thought provoking questions found here

What's the most sensible thing you've ever heard someone say?

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

I have always loved this quote and it reminds me of when my mom always told me to treat others as I would like to be treated. I always make sure that I compliment others, that I fully listen to them, and I take great care to not offend anyone. I never pass judgement, and dislike when others do so to me without actually knowing me.

Now, the most unsensible thing I have ever heard someone say? Wear clean underwear in case you get in an accident. WHY would someone not wear clean underwear in the first place?!? Lol.

Ten on Tuesday

1. What do you traditionally do for the 4th of July?
Go to my mother's house to eat with family and then hang out and play games until it is time for fireworks.

2. Did you follow your tradition this year? How did you celebrate yesterday?
Nope and spent it sick! Yesterday was my birthday too so TOTALLY SUCKS! I am getting over a nasty stomach virus, and spent Sunday in the hospital dehydrated. Fun times, I tell ya.

3. What is the best fireworks show you've ever seen?
Well, they are pretty much the same here every year, but they are pretty good!

4. Have you ever been injured by a firecracker?
Never. I don't get anywhere close to them things!

5. Burger, Brat, or Hot Dog?
Hmmm...depends on my mood. Never a Brat (gross), sometimes a burger, sometimes a hot dog, and sometimes if I am really hungry or can't decide, a burger AND a hot dog.

6. Do you sport red, white, and blue on our Independence Day?
Yes. Not usually all three colors but I do like to wear one of them at least..normally I like to wear a red top with dark denim.

7. If you had to be from any country other than the USA, what country would it be?
Um, Europe? Wait..that is a continent. Haha, so some country in Europe I guess but I think I like being right where I am the best!

8. Charcoal or gas?
Gas. I dislike charcoal very much.

9. What’s your favorite thing about this fair country of ours?
Our freedom to do pretty much whatever we want...like wear what we choose to wear and marry who we want to marry. Things like that.

10. God Bless the USA, My Country Tis of Thee, or the Star Spangled Banner?
If I just had to choose, My Country Tis of Thee. However, during this whole questionaire here, I have had Katy Perry's Firework song stuck in my head....
