Five Question Friday!

It's Five Question Friday! It's Five Question Friday! Woooo Hooo!!! *doing a dance* Today has not started off the best. My boss is in a pissy mood, i'm sick with allergies, and some other personal things that i'm having to think alot about. It's just draining. But thank goodness for Mama M's Five Question Friday! If you've never visited her blog, you should go! Shes so fun!

1. Would you ever vacation alone?

I always told myself, that the only time I would ever vacation alone would be to "find myself again". That sounds a little dorky, but hey it's true. But other than that reason, there's no way I would vacation alone! I need someone to talk to and have fun with! I'm actually wanting to plan a vacation with some friends for next winter! We're thinking bahamas, or alaskan cruise!

2. Do you go the speed limit?
Well yah! Don't we ALL go the speed limit. I go the speed limit WHEREVER i'm going. Ok. I'm lying. Big time. I don't EVER go the speed limit. Ever. Sorry. I have a lead foot. I'm called Miss Speedster. The horrible driver. I go 75 in a 55. Don't ever let your kids ride with me. If you know what's best for you. Don't you ride with me either. I'm awesome at talking my way out of speeding tickets though. Done it 3 times.

3. Why did you start blogging/following blogs?
Well, I didnt even know what blogging was until about a year ago. A friend of mine has a blog and I went to it and seen it was pretty neat. Then I seen she was following an awesome blog name My Charming Kids. So I clicked on that, and became hooked! I followed MckMama and some other people's for about 6 months until I decided to make my own blog. Even though i'm quite boring, but i'm trying!


4. Where do you shop for yourself?
Hm. I never shop for myself. The last thing I bought myself was a sweater from Victoria Secret and thats because I had a gift certificate for it. But when I do have money to blow, I love victoria secret, forever 21, express (even though i dont buy from there), aeropostale, and etsy stores. But i'm addicted to furniture shoppping! i could stay days in furniture stores! it's so weird. i love antique furniture, sorta like MckMama's whole house! yeah i know, gorgeous right?




5. What was the song that you danced your first dance with your spouse to at your wedding...or...what song would you like your first dance to be to?
Me and lance haven't decided what we will dance to in our wedding. I love "Then" by Brad Paisley. Such a sweet song. He loves OLD country songs. So we may go with one of them. Who knows! But we have decided we will elope! Just us two, on the beach or in the snowy mountains.

Hope everyone has a FABULOUS weekend!

Five Question Friday!

My Little Life
Yay! Five Question Friday again! Five Question Friday always mames Fridays even better! Head to Mama M's blog to check her out!
1. What is better, growing old with out money or dying young and wealthy?
Even though I love having money. I mean, you get stressed out when you have no money! You stress about not paying bills on time, etc. But money is not everything. And I feel that I have not lived my life yet. I still want to get married, have kids, have a career, etc. So, i'll have to say growing old with out money!

2. Who takes out the garbage at your house?
Ha. Well LANCE is SUPPOSED to. Well, he does take it out, but never on time. I believe thats a man's job! No woman should have to take out the trash!
3. Have you ever had the same dream many times?
Well of course you always have the dream of someone dying. Ugh, don't you hate those? I've also had the dream about saving peoples lives. I used to be a lifeguard, so I have dreams about saving drowning victims, or car wrecks and such! I guess I like being the hero! haha!

4. Can you play a musical instrument?
Does the air guitar count? haha! I would call myself musical challenged. I can't sing or play any instrument. I really wish I had a voice but I dont! But I bad to the bone on some air guitar!!!

5. If you owned your own store, what would you sell?
Hm, that's kind of a hard question. I've always wanted to own my own store. I believe it would be an etsy store, or a furniture store! I think it would be a mixture between etsy and antique store! Love Love Love stores like that. Ah, now I want to own a store. Darn.
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

Where Have I Been?

I miss blogging. I used to blog almost everyday, but i'm not around a computer everyday like I was. I started school last week. I only have two classes. Anatomy and Physiology II and the lab. It's already kickin' my butt. There is just so much information that it overwhelms me! But i'm going to make it through. It's so interesting learning about the human body. You wouldn't BELIEVE what the human body can do! I've started exercising and trying to eat right. I hope this will last. I really want to lose some weight and get in better shape. For the mornings i've been making a smoothie. They are so good! I was reading about Kendra Wilkinson's smoothies that she drinks every morning and so I decided to go with her recipe. Except I added protein powder in mine. Here is my recipe for breakfast smoothies.

5 ice cubes
1/2 milk or skim milk or greek yogurt
Protein Powder
4 Strawberries
Half a banana
Tablespoon of Granola or Special K cereal

Put in blender in this order:
Ice
Milk
Protein Powder
Banana
Strawberries
Granola or Special K
Blend until very smooth! It's delicious!!
You can add an entire banana but it was to banana-ny for me, so I only used half a banana. Enjoy!

Five Question Friday

My Little Life
It's finally five question friday! I've had a pretty crappy morning so far. Woke up with a sore throat and a migraine, so I called into work and told them i'd be a little late. I went back to sleep for a couple of hours. Then went to physical therapy and ended up spilling water on my lap on the way there, so it looked like i peep myself. Then realized aunt flo came for a visit too..sigh. Today has not been a good day but THANKFULLY, the fun Mama M has me in a better mood because of her wonderful five question friday! So if you haven't played along, go on over to her blog and join in.

1. Worst trouble you ever got into as a teenager?
um, I wasn't the most nicely behaved teenager if I can put it that way. I wasn't the worst either. I never went to jail, or ever did crack. But I did come home with massive hickies on my neck one time. It looked like someone litterally took a baseball to my neck. So that was pretty bad. I snuck out of the house a few times but never once did anything bad when we snuck out. It was just the thrill of sneaking out! That's pretty much it. Yeah, I wasn't the best, but I had to get it out of my system. lol.


2. Are you a morning person or a night person?
Defintely, without a doubt, a night person! I HATE HATE HATE mornings! ugh. I'm not looking forward to having kids. I usually dont go to sleep til about 11 because I just can't go to sleep.

3. Are you a one-handed or a two-handed Texter?
Two-handed. Because I have the long keyboard that flips out. And thats really hard to try to do one hand.

4. Democrat, Republican, or Independent..or maybe even Green Party (whatever that is).
Republican. But never voted! Last year when I was actually of age to vote, I didnt know there was a "deadline" to register to be a voter, and I missed it. I was totally bummed to.

5. Are you a pet person?
I'm not a huge pet person. But I do love my little dog very much. I couldnt have a bunch of cats running around, or dogs. But I would like a lab though. I love labs.
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!!

How often do you wash your bras?

So, I get an email once a week from Slate Magazine on an article called Dear Prudence. Prudence is a psychologist (or somethin like that) and she gives advice to people who email her. I actually love her advice, and the questions are sometimes CRAZY! The other week, I received an email and it was about all the advice for the whole year that she gave. She had wrote about some of the readers that emailed her about some of the advice that she gave, good and bad. There was one advice that she gave to a young man. He was really freaked out about his girlfriend not washing her bra everyday. So Prudence told him that it was completely normal for a woman to only wash her bra once a week. Well, a woman emailed Prudence and told her that was absolutely CRAZY that she told that young man that. That is was disgusting if a woman does not wash her bra everyday. She goes on to say that she was so freaked out about it that she even CALLED 94 women and not one of them said that they only wash their bra once a week.




So i'm totally freaked out because I don't wash my bras everyday. Especially in the winter when I dont sweat. Now, in the summer when its really gross and nasty outside, I make sure my bras are clean and not have my gross sweat on them. So, am I totally gross for this? Am I supposed to be washing my bras everyday. I just think washing your bras everyday can ruin them. I pay good money for my bras and dont want them to get messed up. I swap out my bras everyday, but just dont wash them everday. Can you even imagine having to hand-wash your bras every. single. night. thats just to much work for me. So i'm asking you, am I disgusting? Do I need to start washing my bras everynight. Or is that woman crazy? lol.

Let me know your opinions!!

Five Question Friday!

I missed Five Question Friday last week, so i'm excited to be doing it today! I feel like I need to get on track on my blogging. When I miss a couple of days, I think my readers will get bored, and quit following me. So please dont stop reading, i'll get better! If you've never went over to Mama M's blog, go! She's totally cool, funny, and so fun to read! So go over there now!

1. What's your "comfort food"?

Ice Cream! It's 14 degrees out today, and I can still eat ice cream (is ice cream one word or two?)! My favorite is chocolate of course..but i love chocolate and peanut butter, and other kinds. Lance thinks i'm SO weird because I put ice cream in a bowl, then poor milk on top of it and eat it like that. Its just like a milkshake but not mixed up! So that can't be TO weird, can it?
2. Do you send Thank You's (handwritten or email)?
I really never sent a lot of Thank You cards. Even for my graduation gifts, I didnt send any out. How bad am I? Lance's mom bought me some REALLY cute note cards and a "K" stamp that I stamp on them. So I sent one as a thank you card to a lady that let me use her as a reference for the radiology program, and also sent one to my work for the cute candy basket they sent me after surgery. But when I do Thank You's, it is by handwritten, seems more personal to me.


3. If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?
The Bachelor, if I were single. Other than that, Friends! Love Love Love that show, even though its not on anymore.


4. What is your favorite online recipe site?
foodnetwork.com , bakerella.com , allrecipes.com , marthastewart.com , and one other that I completely forgot what it was!


5. If you had to choose: "Friends" or "Seinfeld"?
Oh wow, should I even answer this one?! Friend's is my all-time favorite tv show, EVER! I watched it every. single. day. and it never gets old. I have almost every season on dvd and I promise I could say every word that comes out of their mouths. Ok, now that i'm reading this, i'm thinking i'm a tad bit obsessed with Friends. I hope someone is in the same boat as me. lol.

Hope everyone has a fabulous friday!

I'm Back

Boy, have I missed blogging! It was so hard to blog when i've been at my house with no internet for the past two weeks. I have tried keeping up with you all through my cell phone, but I could not leave comments. But i'm back! I hope to get back in to the swing of things. I had a wonderful Christmas break, which i'm still on until next Thursday, then I start back to school. I'm meeting with the advisor of the radiology program I am applying for tomorrow morning. I'll be getting some paperwork and see when my observation is. I'm pretty excited. I've got an interesting post coming up, so be on a look-out for that. Here are a few pictures from Christmas, yes, i'm late at getting them up, but some are to cute to pass up.

Emma Grace. Isn't she cute?


Opening presents with dad


His radio flyer scooter!


His new pony! He was really timid with it at first, and he wasn't
wanting to take pictures.


But he got used to him and started feeding him.



The shadow box me and my mom made my sister & brother in law.
Everything in the box is parts from their wedding.


Playing with the toys. Caden is drawing on an aquadoodle.
Parents, this thing is really cool. The pens are filled with water, so
no ink is involved.
