Friend Makin' Monday Baby!

You know how this works by now but just in case go visit Kasey for all of  the details. 

Just a little side note. I love Kasey! I do not remember where or when I "met" her but I'm sure glad I did! She is super cute and hosts Friend Makin' Monday so we can met new friends. So this is a great big THANK YOU KASEY for all you do to get us together!

Now onto this weeks task.

I wouldn't be caught dead...

Wearing high waisted skinny jeans. Lets be real here girls, they are one of the biggest fashion disasters ever. If you have hips bigger than a 3 year old they make you look like a walking Days Of Our Life hour glass...not a good look! I truly believe this is what happened to me while on the assembly line. God looked at me and said "she's gonna have a great sense of humor...I'll give her a size 4 waist and a size 12 ass...she'll find a way to make it funny". Oh, thanks God! Have I mentioned before I don't think you're too funny?!!? 

My hidden talents are...

I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue, twice if it's long enough!

Here are two things I consider myself to be very good at...

1-Being organized...everything has a place and every place has a thing.

2-I always trying to find the good in a situation...I said try!

Here are two things I consider myself  to be very bad at...

1-Riding a bike. I can do it but I must always look were I'm going, my hands follow my eyes. I crashed with Honey on the back of my bike when she was about one. I blame this totally on Babe since he refused to put her on his bike, Mr. "I can do anything" was so much more equipped to handle her than I was.

2- Anything that deals with numbers. Balancing a checkbook, I don't have one! Helping the girls with math, we have a tutor. I just check out when it come to numbers. 

Have I ever won a trophy?...

ummm, I don't think so. Wait, I do remember a trophy but I have no clue what it was for! I probably stole one of my brothers!

Here is one thing many people do not know about me...

I'm so out there and honest with anyone that will listen, I just don't know...I talk to myself all day long. I carry on complete conversations in...my head. I revisit events and situations I wish I had handled differently...in my head. The scariest part is that I find nothing wrong with it! 

My earliest memory...

I remember almost everything about my Grandparents house on the "hill". I was only about 5 when they moved to Florida and we only visited them once a year but I can tell you the layout of the house, which tree the tree swing was in, how much water we were aloud to have in the tub and I can still smell that smell! Man I miss them horribly! 

My favorite music group in Jr. High was...

Journey ahhh, Steve Perry. Looking back I can honestly say 'what was I thinking'? Great band, great music but Steve Perry, seriously! 

What is something my worst roommate ever did?...

I've never had a roommate. I went from my Daddy's house to my Hubby's house. So this will have to be something about Babe, lets see. This is something that he does that drives me crazy! He brings a water bottle to bed every night. He leaves that water bottle on the night stand every morning. At any given time there will be 6-12 empty or partially empty water bottles siting there. I refuse to pick them up. I clean around them and when I just cannot stand it any more I take them and line them up on the floor of his closet. SO aggravating! 

When I was a kid I wanted to be a ____ when I grew up...

Like most little girls I wanted to a veterinarian.  That changed to a Physical Therapist for handicapped children when I got a little older. I went to beauty school and high school at the same time so I could help pay for college working at a salon nights and weekends. Then I met Babe and the only thing I wanted to do from then on was be a wife and a Mommy. I'm now living my dream!

My worst dating experience was...

I went out with a "friend", he thought it was more, on a harmless date to a party. The party ended up being in downtown Chicago. I knew my parents would have freaked, I never did anything I wasn't allowed to do, but I went anyway. While driving around looking for the party, in a very seedy area of Chicago, we got a flat tire. We pulled into a parking lot to fix it when cop came to "help". He was a nightmare! The guy I was with had just got home for the military so his hair was still buzzed, the cop accused him of being a-wall and told me to "walk my pretty little ass to the nearest pay phone and call my Daddy to come get me". I was terrified! He called me back to the car and proceeded to have, what was his name???, run around the car with a tire iron in his hand, stop when told, tighten a lug nut(is that what they're called) and then run again until told to stop. He would hit ??? with his baton as he ran past him, this went on for what seemed like an eternity but was probably only 5 minutes, long enough! He finally let us go after terrifying me and humiliating ???. Way to put a bad taste in your mouth about cops right! We drove home in complete silence and then ??? walked me in, he wanted to tell my Daddy what had happened himself, very honorable! Of course my parents were furious but not at either one of us, they wanted to go to the police station and file a complaint. I was too freaked out and begged them not to. Needless to say I never  went out with ??? again and I stayed far away from Cook County! 

If I were about to die what would I want for my last meal...

Chips, salsa and a Patron Margarita ~ no salt! If I'm going down I'm going down with a buzz!

The most important person in my life is...

The obvious answer is God whatever, whenever, however, He is there! After God is Babe, he is my rock, my soul mate, my provider, the father to my children and the love of my life! My Nannie always told me to put my husband first, a hard concept for me once I had children. She said one day your children will be gone and if you have let this relationship fade you will be all alone. Smart lady! 

If my house were on fire the 3 things I would grab are...

This has been discussed at our house repeatedly. Babe grabs the girls and I run my office where I start throwing scrapbooks out the window to my waiting family. I can loose everything and we would rebuild but without those precious memories I would be lost! I now have every picture from the last 5 years on a hard drive so that would be the first thing out! 

 Happy Monday Y'all
