Tag! You are It!

Brooke @ What's the Story Brooke? tagged me in this post, so I'm going to go for it.  I love the blog world.  :)


                                                                               Here are the rules:



1. Post these rules.
2. You must post 11 random things about yourself
.3. Answer the questions set for you in their post.
4. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
5. Go to their blog and tell them you’ve tagged them.
6. No stuff in the tagging section about you are tagged if you are reading this. You legitimately have to tag 11 people.


My 11 random things-

1.  I wash my hair once maybe twice a week.....  (Dry Shampoo or just washing the crown of my hair gets me through) #lazy

2.  I may have put self tanner on G one night when I was bored.....

3.  My arms are double jointed

4.  I have to have something sweet every single day

5.  I love to car dance and do it often- I always get in the mood to go dancing on the way home from work when I listen to the top 5 countdown.  I'm seriously doing the butterfly while driving.

6.  I've met Tom Cruise- I may have gone paparazzi on him





7.  I hate smoking- it's 2012 people.....smoking is so 1997.  Gabe knows them as "cancer sticks".  I think it's dumb.  Anyone with a brain shouldn't do it.  I saw a father last night leaving the circus with his cancer stick in one hand and his 6 or 7 year old daughter in the other- REALLY????? REALLY????  ugh, poor thing-  not only are her lungs suffering, but her beautiful blonde curls have to smell like shes been at the bar all night.  Everything about a smoker smells, they think they cover it up with perfume, cologne, gum, but it just smells like a musty cancer stick.  I smell them when they walk by me or get on the elevator and it's awful...  Ok, I should probably stop- but, not a fan. :)

8.  I have a tattoo on the inside of my left wrist.  It's a daisy.  My grandmother's first name was Daisy.  She passed away in a car accident in 2004 and I was extremely close to her.  I love it and don't regret it for a second!  I got it in Seattle on a mission trip in 2007. 

9. I never curse.  like ever....   I say "shoot a monkey" and "mother of pearl"  My ears tingle when people do, especially in a work setting or if it's a lady- well I guess she isn't a lady, so a female.

10.  I hate confrontation.  I really need to be better at it or better at handling it I should say.  I hate when people don't like me or aren't happy with me.  This is actually something I would change about myself.  I think I've toughened up over the last 3 years, but wish I could just shrug stuff off sometimes.

11.  I don't have a smart phone.  I think I am the only one on the planet.  I don't have internet at home or cable..... I'm pretty much a cave woman.

Questions I am to answer from Brooke:

1. Birthdays. Love them or hate them.

Hate is a strong word....but I don't love them.  I think it's funny when people make a big deal about their own birthday and plan their own parties (ahem ahem Brooke).  I guess my parents didn't make a big deal about it to me, so I'm a little apathetic.  I want Gabe to enjoy them though, so I'm working on this....





2. Get your purse/gym bag: What are the first five things you pull out?

My purse is in Brooke's trunk :( ha.  Gym bag? hahahahahaha

It would probably be lipgloss, receipts, calendar, more lipgloss and either goldfish crumbs or a fruitsnack





3. What is the one meal you can make better than anyone else?

ooooo, hard to choose! ha.  JK.  Red Velvet Cake (not really a meal).  Lasagna I think.....




4. You get one wish. No restrictions. What is it?

I would wish for 10 more wishes.





5. Cake or Pie?

Cake- duh





6. What’s your secret talent?

   oh man, I don't think I have one.......   I don't think I should admit that I can play the trumpet, so let's see.  I can name all 50 states in a song??? haha.







7. Early bird or night owl?

Night owl to the max. 





8. Biggest pet peeve?

When people say they are going to do something and don't. 
Can I list more? 
When people get on fb and off of fb or block something and unblock, just make up your mine, I feel like it's all for show. 
Slow drivers- don't you have somewhere to be? 
Guys our age who still act like they are in college. 
When employees at fast food restaurants look at you like you are the devil for wanting to order something, crack a smile, I'm not making you work there.
Foul language- yes, I'm prude





9. What’s your favorite weird food combination?

Mayo on butter beans.........sooooo good.





10. Which would you choose? No social media for a year or no working out for a month? Why?

I think I already have the no working out for a month down, so I guess I would have to say no social media.  I need to know who's pregnant and engaged or I'm just going to have a meltdown.... (haha- sarcasm there)





11. What are you sending me for my birthday?

Not Cake!!!!!! :)


My questions for fellow bloggers:

1.  What is something that made you smile today?

2.  What is the one thing you would change about yourself and why?

3.  What kind of perfume or cologne are you wearing right now?

4.  Wine- Red or White?

5.  What would be your dream vacation?

6.  What's the one thing that completely grosses you out?

7.  What did you have for lunch today?

8.  What do you miss about high school?

9.  How many kids do you want?

10.  List top 5 TV shows you watch

11.  What's your greatest fear?

I'm not going to tag anyone, because I don't know who reads my blog- so if you see this and you want to join the fun- Do it!

Loves.

 



2012 Circus

Brooke, G and I went to the circus last night. 

Parent Hint:  The circus sells light up toys for $12.00 and cotton candy for $10.00.  I went to the dollar store yesterday during my lunch and purchased glow sticks and a light up wand for $2.00.  I hide it until he starts asking for me to buy one and then say, well look what we have- distraction, cool light up toy, happy kid = check.  I didn't have time to look for cotton candy, but next time I will have this in my bag as well.

Photo Session-


Check out G's face.....hahaha

In the zone.....


After this picture I asked Gabe, "Gabe, try not to squint your eyes, can you do a softer smile?"

This is what I got- ha.....

Again, with these faces!


Now on to the show......



B likes cats.....



The elephants are my favorite!

Until next year................

Christmas Time is Here

My parents and brother took G Christmas tree hunting......I think they really let him pick it out, because it wasn't the best tree I have ever seen- ha




Callaway Gardens Festival of Lights

Our tradition continues in visiting the lights at Callaway- this year Madolyn went with us.  We also rode the trolly vs. riding in your own vehicle.  I loved it!  Everyone sings Christmas carols along the ride- I eat that stuff up.

Gabe chatting it up with Santa- (he told him he wanted a football helmet)

Christmas penguin! ha

A & Mad



Awwwwww

Also making this a tradition- fried milky way bar and fried oreos- I thought we were doing an "eating" pic....
Taking in the light

Maybe this was planned...maybe it wasn't

ooooo, so pretty
I wish I had pictures of all the lights- they didn't turn out on my camera- you have to go though- it's amazing!

Santa is coming soon.................

What is wrong with me?

Why can't I stay on top of this blogging thing?  I want to so bad, I really do!  I'm going to attempt to catch up to January 2012, so get ready for a stream of posts coming your way.  I'm also considering going public with the blog.  I think maybe it would motivate me to update more and what's the point of blogging if I don't want it to be shared.  So....I'm going to think about it.  Happy Sunday!  Hope everyone made it to church this am- God is good :)

Love from Starbucks!
