I don't follow a whole lot of blogs. I like to follow people, I admit they are mostly women, who I find intriguing. And, I continue to search for other blogs that are similar to mine - following the path of crazy motherhood and family. Nonetheless, I often come across blog challenges, questions, conversation, and subjects to prompt posts. I feel sometimes that using them takes away from why I started blogging in the first place; but, then again, sometimes I just can't help it!

So, here it is: a post prompted by another blog's questions.

1. What would you pick to eat if you only had one meal left?

Heath and I were just talking about this yesterday! I think it would be chicken alfredo and garlic cheese bread, and creme brulee for dessert. :) Yum! Coming in at a very close second place is Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. I'm easy to please. I could seriously eat KM&C (that's an acronym I just made up.....take it....share it...) for every meal if it wouldn't end with me weighing 8oo lbs! Gotta love those carbs!

2. What quality is the most important to you in the opposite sex?

I always say a sense of humor; but, now that Heath and I have been together for so long, I recognize that 'communication' has kept us together. Yes, I 100% appreciate the goofy dancing and stupid phrases. We have a blast together and are very compatible. He isn't too bad on the eyes either. ;) However, that, alone, can't keep a relationship solid. It is the fact that Heath and I never go to sleep angry, never let an argument just 'disappear', and share our feelings that has equaled 10 years of fabulousness. :)

I hope that we can display a healthy relationship to Lucy. Communication is so important in all facets of life. Now, if everyone else could share their feelings openly and rationally, we could all get along just fine! :) Can you read the psychology major in me coming out?

3. If you could pick your birthday, when would you want it and why?

I don't think I have a specific day that I would want to change my birthday to. Now that I am older, my birthday has become very "unimportant." I may change the day, just because it is so close to Valentine's Day. When I was younger the elementary school Valentine's celebration and my birthday always got mixed. Now, Heath and my Valentine's dinner always gets doubled up with my birthday. Oh well, it isn't too big of a deal to me though.

4. What is your dream job?

Ha. Does anyone ever really know the answer to this question? There have been jobs that I thought I would love and when it came down to it, I didn't. So, who's to say? Unrealistically, I would love to be an actress or something else that would make me millions for working a minimal amount of time. Plus, professional hair and makeup sounds amazing! :) More realistically, or so I think, I would really love to teach in higher education. We'll see...I just want to be happy with what I do.

5. Biggest Pet Peeve?

Sometimes I ask myself how I became so anal. I have a slew of pet-peeves. They make me sound so up-tight. So, here they are: when people say "a hunerd" instead of "a hundred", when people use double negatives in a sentence (ex: "I didn't hurt nobody." "I never done nothing before."), when people cuss at their children, when people's jeans get caught on the tongue of their tennis shoes (some people do it on purpose - ugh!), when some one's eyebrow hairs are messed up, when people walk through my yard, and when I, myself, use improper grammar when speaking. I also hate when people drag their teeth on a fork; but, I think that is more of something that gives me the 'heebie-jeebies' more than anything else.

6. What show can you not miss?

My life sadly involves a lot of television. I am a sucker for a good movie and have grown to love the DVR more than most of my household items. This fall we've been watching: Biggest Loser, Teen Mom, 16 & Pregnant, Melissa and Joey, Hellcats, 2 1/2 Men, The Buried Life, Glee, Storm Chasers, and Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Soon, we will be watching: American Idol, Kendra, Pretty Little Liars, Greek, Huge, Secret Life of the American Teenager, Tosh.0, and 10 Things I Hate About You. And, okay, okay, I'll admit it I also watch Hannah Montana, Sonny with a Chance, and Jonas, L.A. Some would say that was a pretty awful group of shows; to them I say..........well, I've got nothing.......just watch it before you knock it! :)

Occasionally my husband makes me watch Blue Mountain State (is that what it's called?), South Park, The Office, Mythbusters, Jersey Shore, and that R.J. Berger show on MTV.

Well, that is all for now. I hope this gives you a little more insight to my life and more specifically, my mind. Every time I say, or type rather, something ridiculous I can't help but to think, "Oh, Lucy, you have some pretty silly parents! I hope you aren't too embarrassed by us when you're older!"
