Housekeeping. You want me fluff pillow?

I'm doing some housekeeping/catching up today...here we go.

The lovely Sara at Everyday Life with the Nevilles tagged me...

1) Would you ever skydive?
Yes, but I'd probably tinkle in my pants a little.


2) Do you prefer baths or showers?
Showers. I like the theory of baths, but then I start thinking about sitting there in your own filth-water and the constant fight to keep the water warm. Then it just seems like too much work.


3) What is the best vacation you've ever been on?
My honeymoon. It was the best week of my life. I've had some really fun, fantastic ones since...but that's the tops.

4) How do you and your hubby (or boyfriend) celebrate anniversaries?
We celebrated our 4th anniversary by getting married. Our standards have dropped off considerably since then. :) Now it's usually a card and extra kisses.

5) Have you ever had sex in a public place? If yes, where?
I have family that read this so I'll say no, in fact I've NEVER had sex. I have proof...my baby is adopted! See?! Completely asexual!

6) If you could be one person for a day, who would it be?
Maybe Oprah. I'd like to see what it's like to know so many famous people and have more money than I know what to do with. Or better yet, Stephenie Meyer...a published author with more money than I know what to do with. That way I get the cash without people knowing that much about me.

7) What is your favorite color and why?
I don't really have one. My clothes fall into the black, gray, blue, green category. Though I have lots of purple things, including (at my desk right now) my ruler, post-its, stapler, pencil and cell cover. Hmmm...maybe purple?

8) Is there anything that really scares you?
Not being able to move past this point in my life. As many things currently that are wonderful (Pie namely, and you awesome dudes) we're struggling to make ends meet. Like just about everybody, the recession has kicked our butts and the stress is no fun. And the added stress of really wanting a different career doesn't help. It's terrifying to think that having to fight this hard to stay above water will last too much longer.

Sara should have asked me how cute I think her Hudson is. The answer is VERY. And now for my 8 questions.


1) Do you have any tattoos? What/where?
2) Where were you born?
3) What was the first drink you had legally after turning 21?
4) Which side of bed do you sleep on (if you were standing at the foot of the bed)?
5) What is your favorite curse word?
6) What is your favorite band from the 80s? Bonus points if it's a hair metal band.
7) Do you believe in ghosts/ufo/the supernatural?
8) Who holds the #1 spot on your freebie list? You know what list I mean {wink, wink}

Now I have to tag 8 more bloggy wonders to participate in this activity...

ha! Cracking up over your answer to #5. Too funny!! And thank you for saying that Hudson is cute- we think he's pretty darn cute too- though I could be a bit biased :)

You may be biased, but I'm completely impartial and I say he's gorgeous...so you know it's true! :)
I hear ya on #4 cause we celebrated our 3rd anniversary by getting hitched and #5 made me laugh out loud.

its going to be anyway!!!
Shut it...and don't forgot how much I know about you!
I love your answer to number 5! I can't agree with you on the bath thing because I love them. A bath with a book and a glass of wine is heaven in my book. Especially if I get to put music on and lock the bathroom door (so the monsters don't join me - a certain dog is known for throwing his toys into the tub).

I do really enjoy the idea of them...but I haven't ever had a great one. I think that's why I'm still resisting. Something has always been a off...water temp, tub itself, unwanted company...
Sara, thank you so much for the award. While I would argue that my substance is questionable, I SO appreciate you thinking of little old me. =) Your blog is adorable.

Of course! Happy to pass it on!
so with you on the bath thing. at first i'm all 'ahh...relaxing!' then i get all paranoid about the stewing in your own filth thing and the relaxation is right out the window
1 reply · active 760 weeks ago
It's that and then the water temp dance...you get in scalding hot, then it cools...you add more hot, then it's a weird mix that makes you feel sort of feverish. I just can't get it right.
My honeymoon was by far my favorite also! :)
I wish I was back there right now.

Me too. We went back to the same bed and breakfast last year and it was awesome all over again. But that first week of being married adn relaxing after the craziness of the wedding...bliss.
You are fabulously wonderful!!! Thank you so very much!! I love your questions!! I'm excited to answer them. I'll try and post tomorrow!!! You made my night!
1 reply · active 760 weeks ago
Of course! It's well deserved!! Can't wait to see everybody's answers
Oh...and I totally agree about the Stephanie Meyer thing...and if we are going that route I would say Kristen Stewart too....I think she's a bitch but she gets to make out with Rob P and well....he's just so pretty!!!
As far as baths go. I have a huge tub that I pretty much have only used after Mia was born and I had to sit in there and soak...because...well....it just wasn't pleasant down there after an episotomy!! TMI sorry!!!!

There's a jump tank somewhere in TN that might not be as scary...but I would totally be that girl with the suspiciously damp jump suit.
Ooooh Thanks Girl! I feel so honored. ;-)

I'm with you on #3, pretty much had it out of my system by 21. And I'm impressed with the Journey pick. Nicely played!
I love your answer to sex in public places, you make me laugh out loud!!
