Ditto

Describe your self. What do you think about yourself and do you think people perceive you in the same way?  Energetic, fun, no nonsense...I hope people perceive me the same way.
Which is your most favorite book ever?  The Island of the Blue Dolphins
Which is the one television character that you simply adore?  Julie Bowen
What kind of music do you like? I like it all. Classics, rock, sometimes I can even be a little bit country.
Which is your favorite genre of movies? (Comedy/Romance/Suspense/Action/Horror) Comedy and Romance: I am a sucker for Beaches, The Notebook, and any Adam Sandler movie.
What do you do when you feel very sad or depressed?  I cry, I don't cry much but when I do it pours.
What makes you angry? Are you short-tempered? How do you overcome your anger? When adults act childish. I am not short tempered but once I am mad it takes me awhile to calm down. I talk it through with my hubby or one of my girlfriends.
Which is the best vacation you've ever had? Florida, when we took Anthony to Disney.
If you could have a luncheon with any three people (real or fictitious/from any time period/dead or alive), which three people would you choose and why?  Marie Antoinette-I like cake, Harriet Tubman-how did she do it? Marilyn Monroe because she intrigues me.
Which is your most cherished childhood memory? What kind of kid were you, naughty or nice? Spending time with my Grandma June, I miss her so much it hurts my heart. I was actually very good. My family still talks about how good I was until I became a teenager.
If given complete freedom to start afresh, what profession would you choose and why? Dermatologist, I love fresh gorgeous skin and to pick that skin that isn't.
What is your idea of fun? If given a chance to skip work for a day, how would you spend the entire day? Freedom is fun to me, not having any obligations or agenda. Wake up with the kiddos, have a warm breakfast, and play outside. We try to do that on the weekends and I cherish that time.
Which is your favorite time of the day? Mid-morning or right after bathtime at night when the kids are ready to snuggle.
Are you a morning person or a night person? Depends-usually I wake up pretty content but sometimes the full moon can guarantee a fun night for me.
What is the craziest thing you've ever done? Parasailed in Playa Del Carmen.
Name one person you love the most and one person you hate the most. This questions is weird. I love lots of people the most and really only dislike one person that was a monster of a boss-still don't hate him.
If we were a couple and we had a fight, how would you try to patch things up?  Showering you with a ridiculous amounts of love until you cave of forgiveness or annoyance.
What is the funniest prank played on you or played by you? My 30th birthday my friends acted like it was not a big deal. Completely floored me, I was literally throwing a tantrum downstairs and the doorbell rang. Out on the street was a party bus full of people ready to party!
If given a choice, which animal would you want to be? Why? A dog, because I love them a whole bunch.
Who was your first crush? Did you ever tell him/her about your feelings?  Jacob, yep. We were third grade sweethearts.
Which is your most favorite place in this earth? The lake.
If you were stranded on a lonely beach, what are the five things that you would want to survive? My phone, a bottle of wine-make that a case of wine, a tent, a journal, and a toothbrush.

He had me at checking my email...

So above is a cute picture of my hubby. He voted for the first time this year! See that bright red sticker. Yes, I know, I told him he better appreciate that he has the right to vote. So he did, then he would not tell me who he voted for. I have a hankering suspicion but that is between us. Anyhow, he also had something very big happen to him last week. Erik is now the Superintendent of his company! With that comes a lot of responsibility including his own office, new truck w heated leather seats-I add this because he is in love with them, and now instead of working in the field he is in an office with a cute polo shirt, clean jeans, and a laptop. I think he floated home last week after his promotion. He calls me from his new fancy phone telling me how he is checking his email, creating folders, and bidding jobs. FORGET 50 Shades of Grey, he had me at checking my email. No one deserves it more than Erik. He has worked really hard for this and all his hardwork has paid off. Great job honey, I am so PROUD of you!

Halloween 2012-success!

 

We had a dragon, zombie, and baby giraffe.

 

Anthony and I made his costume. Had a blast doing this with him!

 

Talia would not sit still for a picture, I think she was really into character.

 

Holding hands at trunk or treat-you see this very rarely.

 

 

 

Do you think we wore them out?
