GETTING TO KNOW ME BETTER

Thought I would play along with this question and answer from another blog I saw. Not sure where it was from but thought it would be fun to play along and share with my fellow bloggers a little bit more about me.

 

What's your favorite rainy day activity?

Sleeping and laying around being lazy!

  What time do you go to bed?

Oh my! It seems the older I am the less sleep I get...well maybe it is I can't fall asleep unless I take some doze meds. I don't know why this is going on but I hate it. So lately I go try and lay down around 9pm and toss and turn till I fall out.

How many magazines do you subscribe to?

I said this year I was not going to get anymore because I have got tons of magazines right online with you guys. You have everything a magazine has so why keep paying for them to show up and clutter my home. However, I still have BHG and Country Living coming till they run out. Another thing I found out through reading blogs is the My Coke Rewards and since I am a coke addict I have gotten a few free magazines. Marie Claire is one of those and it gives me lots of up to date fashions and makeup info.

Did you sell all your belongings because you thought the world was ending yesterday?

LOL...I didn't even know anything about this till today. I did hear something funny about this on the radio coming to work that the man who predicted this also predicted who would win IDOL tonight....James Durbin...lol....

What's your beauty obsession?

Don't have one but I have started buying the minerals makeup and love it...saw on Ebay you can buy it and cheaper than their website. I use Bare Minerals and will use it till I die or they quit making it. It has made a difference in my complexion. I use to use Clinque.

If you could only wear one designer/brand for the rest of your life...what would it be?

I am not a "brand" person...I just shop for things I like!

What's your summer must have?

time by the pool!

Do you make weekly dinner menus?

no...they are lucky if I cook during the week...sad I know...but when I do cook I cook quick foods. I do more of my (bulk) cooking on the weekend and then we eat those dishes for the week. So much easier on me!

Hope you have learned a little bit more about me...hope you join in and share things with me about you. I think I will try and do this once a week. Maybe I can figure how to do a linky.

GROSS ....EWWWW.....GROSSES......EMERGENCY!

gross.....ewe......grosses

 thought you would like to see the pic of what happen to me....plain and simple...I ended up in the hospital and had my gallbladder removed...so all the time it has not been my heart but my gall bladder....

maybe now i will start feeling better instead of all this pain i have had in the last six months

GETTING TO KNOW ME A LITTLE MORE

1. If you could live anywhere where would it be?


Sometimes I wished I lived where it snowed all the time but then again I would probably wonder why in the world did I wish for this after living in dreaded conditions such as shoveling your driveway out everyday. I think we all wish we could live somewhere other than where we do live but I have come to the conclusion I love right where I am at, in my small little rural community with no stoplight.



2. What is your ideal vacation?

Umm...that would be hard...so many places I would like to visit...but really I would like to visit New York City and one day I will take that trip.

3. What is your favorite color?

Purple...always has been since I was a child. Just something about that color just makes me go wow!


4. What are your favorite shows?

I am not much into tv but lately I did post about some new shows that have been on this summer. I like the Gates...it is sort of a mini twilight that is on ABC.

Another, Rookie Blues also is on ABC...I guess you could say I watch TV online when I am at work on my lunch break. Beats going out in the hot humid heat and cheaper to bring my lunch. My favorite seasonal show is BIG BROTHER...which I just watched the whole season on CBS at the regular time. I did have to watch one or two episodes online since I missed them for one reason or another. My favorite all time soap is Young and the Restless. Looks like soaps are going to be a thing of the past since so many of them are getting cancelled. But until they shut it off I am a die hard fan of this soap. Sop that is the gist of my watching tv...Really I can say I watch two shows on regular tv but if you count also online then I do catch up watching a few more than 2. American Idol used to be a favorite but not sure I will even watch this season since Simon left.

5. What is your favorite recipe (and share if you'd like)?

Umm will have to think about this and maybe post this in another post.

6. What is on your To Do list this week?

Oh great my to do list...you would want to know...I would like to also cause I still have not made one...it is just in my head list but gonna get on board soon and make this happen.



7. What are your kids going to be for Halloween?

Well Lexi is the only one who is left out of my kids that trick or treat so she has said she wants to be a witch again but I will see if this still hangs true once we get all the spooky stuff out.

8. Who is your best friend and what is he/she like?

I only have one best friend that I would call them that and she is my sons godmother....Bonnie.

HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY TO ME & A QUESTION

Just wanted to check around in blog land and see if anyone has seen a pair of these in a thrift store in your area...I have seen these and wanted a pair to hang on my front door for the winter time....living where no snow is in my parts they are hard to find.

I just could not resist this...woohoo I have been wanting this for over a year. I get to make banners and other cute things just like you. Question to some of you who has one...any essentials that I should buy to go with this, please share. Also, anything that may be useless, please share.

PS. My hubby says it will probably sit in the box like other things I buy...oh he is so mistaken. I plan on making some Christmas gifts using this.

WHAT...YOU ARE .......

I guess you could say my blogging seems to be boring me and probably you too! Nothing much to talk about so I will just say........

GETTING TO KNOW ME

Somehow I came upon this blog about a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed it. Well Kasey over at "All Things That Are Good" is hosting Friend Makin on Mondays so I had to join in on this. One of the things I like most about blogging is getting to meet other ladies and build some type of friendship.

This week she ask you to list 10 random things about yourself that people might not know or you just want to share so here goes.

1. I have three children that are the ages of 29,16,4.

2. I was pregnant with my youngest child at the same time my oldest child was pregnant with her 2nd child. She had her baby 4 months before I did. So that makes my youngest the aunt to her children. My youngest child was due on my Mom's birthday December 12 but I had her 5 weeks premature and she came on my oldest daughters due date. Does that make sense to you?

3. I am allergic to pencils...I can write with mechanical pencils but not the old fashion ones.

4. I am a PK which is a preachers kid.

5. My favorite color is purple.

6. I am adopted.

7. I graduated from college at the ripe age of 44 along with having my youngest child during those years of college.

8. I am a true blue G.R.I.T.S Girl and no I don't eat instant grits only the slow cooked grits.

9. My favorite time of the year is Fall!

10. I saved a mans' life, however he died 3 weeks later.

That was harder than I thought it would be.
