Ke$ha - Your Love Is My Drug

This one is just for you baby! Lol. I just couldn't help myself.

Meet Me on Monday

1. Who would be your dream celebrity date?

Gerard Butler. Just please, let him be intelligent. If he's a moron I'll have to leave. I can't date the dumb dumbs.
2. Do you have any food restrictions?
Yes, sadly. I have numerous food allergies and I'm lactose intolerant.

3. How much time do you take to get ready in the morning?
It depends on whether not I have to get the kids ready too.  Just for myself though, including a shower, an hour at least. 
4. Sausage or bacon?
Bacon. I LOVE bacon.  Is there a bacon cheesecake somewhere? Cause that would be awesome!
5. Do you Google, Bing or Yahoo?
Google.  Don't know why, I just do.

Five Question Friday!

http://fivecrookedhalos.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="Five Question Friday">http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt155/fivecrookedhalos/th_w6r0jk.png" img />




1. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?
My temper.  Lol, I have a short fuse. It's genetic. I can't help it.


2. Write about a time when you got lost.
I don't think I've ever gotten lost.  If I'm driving or walking, then I pretty much can keep track of where I am.  I sort of make a map in my head of where I am and can manage to make it back to where I started. Usually once I've been somewhere, I can find my way back over and over again without directions.


3. Camping or 5 star hotel?
Can I have both? Sometimes I want to go camping, but a 5 star hotel might be nice. Okay, I'd rather camp, but I'd like to try the hotel just so I can say I did it.


4. Have you donated blood?
Nope.  I'm either always on some kind of medication or have recently gotten a tattoo and you're not supposed to donate blood for a year after getting a tattoo, or so I've heard.  Guess I should ask huh?



5. Do you have a budget or do you 'fly by' most months?
I guess I have a budget. I only get paid once a month, so I have to be pretty careful otherwise I won't make it through the month.

Fill In The Blank Friday!

1. Something that makes me a great friend is,       I'm a good listener and just all around awesome.

2. I am    sitting in bed listening to the rain. I need my favorite pillow.

3. I am not good at keeping my mouth shut in class. I'm not the class clown, I'm the class loudmouth.  I have attention issues. Surprise, surprise

4. If I had to describe myself in 3 words, they would be     smart, silly, and impulsive. It's so hard not to interupt people all the time or start answering a question before somebody is done asking it.

5. Something I'm really cheap about is     my clothes.  I don't know why I just can't bring myself to spend more than $20 on a shirt.  It just seems wrong!

6. Something I'm willing to splurge on is electronics. I have turned into a gadget junky.  Blackberry, iPod, laptop, camera . . . . . . . .  It's horrible. 

7. I would trade       a year's supply of cheesecake       for a new truck  in a heartbeat. My jeep is a piece of junk.  I wouldn't wish the POS on my worst enemy.  Sure it gets me from A to B, but it leaks transmission fluid the whole way there. Seriously, my back window is covered in it. I'm just waiting for it to catch fire one day soon.

Thursday Thirteen - Places I would like to visit

1. Ireland. I've had an obsession with Ireland since I can remember.  Probably due to my Gone With The Wind obsession.  I named my daughter after Scarlett O'Hara.
2. Atlanta. Hello, Gone With The Wind.  I know it's not the same, but I want to go there any way,
3. New York. New York Cheesecake.  I know it's gotta be the best there right? What could be more authentic than New York Cheesecake in New York?
4. Texas. I have friends there!
5. Washington. Jason has friends there!
6. Sweden. Chocolate, need I say more?
7. Australia.  It just looks awesome.
8. Jamaica. My great-uncle is building a villa there.
9. Las Vegas. I've only been once and I had my kids with me. So really, I didn't have much fun.
10. Paris
11. Hawaii. I love the beach, and I have family that lives there.
12. Nashville. Why not?
13. Disneyland. I've been before, but I would love to take the kids again.

Music Monday

Sugarland - Stuck Like Glue

Love this song! Sugarland is awesome and the video is hilarious.

Meet Me on Monday

1. If you had to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I'd love to say cheesecake, but I'm trying to get rid of this terminal case of tank ass right now. So, I'll say pizza because you can do alot with pizza and make it pretty healthy.
2. Do you write your blog posts in advance or the day you post them?
Sometimes in advance.  If I have the time or I think of something good.
3. Have you ever ridden in an ambulance?
Nope, no ambulance rides over the weekend. Lol

4. What is your favorite candle scent?
Wow, I haven't bought candles in a long time.  I used to love Clean Laundry.
5. Coffee or tea?
Coffee, gotta have it.  My mom once switched to decaf and didn't tell me. I had a killer headache for two weeks and couldn't get rid of it.  Then I found out I wasn't getting any caffeine. WTH woman? You don't do that to people.  In some countries that qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.

Fill in the Blank Friday

1. The best prank I ever pulled was, I don't think I've ever done a really good one. I'll have to work on it for next year.


2. The best prank ever pulled on me was, I don't think anybody has pulled a really good prank on me either. Sounds boring huh?





3. A day without laughter is a day wasted.





4. The most important things in life are the people you love. I agree 100% with Lauren. 





5. I dream of one day me and Jason having our own house and being done with school, working full-time jobs we actually enjoy and getting on with life.  Sounds like a lot now that I look at it.


6. I dread public speaking even though I've been told I'm really good at it.  I'm not much for being in the spotlight.





7. A discovery I made this week was just about everybody was as shocked as I was about having to grade math papers for my daughter's 4th grade class.

Five Question Friday

Yay! Mama M is back! Her daughter is feeling better and is home from the hospital! Welcome back Mama M!




1. Have you ever had surgery?
Yes, twice. When my babies were born.  Both were c-sections. The Boy was too big to come out on his own and The Girl wanted to come out feet first.  She's been doing her own thing since before birth.




2. Ever ride in an ambulance?
Nope, not yet any way.




3. How are you in a medical emergency? Panicked? Calm?
Calm I guess. Haven't really flipped out so bad that I wasn't helpful so I guess I'm doing okay. I have to know CPR and First Aid as part of my job so I guess I should know what I'm doing. LOL



4. Do you have a garden? Flowers or veggies?

Nope, no garden.  If I had one I'd probably plant veggies. Home grown tomatoes are awesome!


5. When did you move out of your parents house?
I moved out after I got married and moved back in (omg) 4 years ago this July.  In my defense I got divorced and went back to school and I'm almost finished with my Bachelor's degree, so hopefully I can get the hell out of here soon.  I miss having my own house and would love to sleep next to my boyfriend every night.

Music Monday

Katy Perry - Teenage Dream

I confess, I love this song. She's great.

Meet Me on Monday

Questions:




1. Crunchy or soft tacos? Definitely crunchy. Soft tacos just seem like a burrito to me.

2. Do you scrapbook? No, but I bought a ton of stuff years ago and was going to start and never did. I just found all the stuff a week ago, so I'm thinking about it.

3. Do you take any daily medications? Yes, tetracyline for acne. I'm an adult, I'm not supposed to have zits.  Never had a problem when I was a teenager, now I have acne. WTH?

4. What is your favorite sound? Kids laughing.  Specifically my kids laughing, but making other kids laugh is pretty good too.

5. Where were you born? Kingsburg.  Lol, the Swedish Village in the central valley. That's hilarious.

It was cute

Saturday night during dinner The Girl comes up to me and starts telling me about what she wants for her birthday. Her birthday is in October. In case you're living under a rock, it's March.  A little premature for starting the birthday gift shopping. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the heads up, but I'm sure it will change no less than a thousand times between now and October.

Any way, the conversation went something like this:

"Mom, for my birthday I want the blah, blah, blah something electronic journal."
(I was listening, she just talks so darn quiet)

"Your birthday is in October."

"I know"

"It's March"

"I know, but that's what I want"

"Okay, well thanks for the tip"

I looked up and saw Jason smiling at us. He heard the whole thing.  We smiled at each other and it struck me later as the type of thing that parents do all the time. The kids are cute, they smile at each other like "how cute was that?" It amazes me how much a part of our lives he's become and how much the kids are getting attached to him and him to them. The summer is going to suck while he's gone. I haven't even told the kids that he'll probably be gone for six months. The Boy is going to have a cow.

Wow, I ended up going a totally different direction with this than what I started with. Oh well. I'm going to publish it any way. Have a great week everybody.

Six Word Saturday

Took a walk in the rain!

It was fabulous.  It wasn't raining really hard and it wasn't too cold. I'd rather walk outside than on the treadmill.  Especially with the lovely trails we have around here.

Fill in the Blank Friday

1. My most prized possession is my camera. I waited for years to get this camera.  I love my Canon Rebel. I love my laptop too, but I think I'm more attached to the camera lol


2. If I could be one age for the rest of my life, I would be the age I am now. I don't really want to go back and do anything over again and I like my life right now. I'd be happier if Jason and I lived together instead of me living with my parents, but life is actually pretty good right now. I have two beautiful, healthy kids, an awesome boyfriend, I'm almost done with school, and I love my job. Sounds good to me! 



3. The best way to spend a weekend is with my love at the rodeo! Woohoo! I can't wait! One more month.



4. My outlook on life is put your big kid chonies on and deal with it.  Bad stuff is gonna happen and it sucks, but it doesn't last forever so get over it and get back to the good stuff. (can you tell I've only had one cup of coffee?)



5. If you want to annoy me, while I'm reading, ask me what I'm reading. Hello, I'm reading a book and clearly you can see it, so read the title and leave me alone!


6. I am completely defenseless when it comes to cheesecake. Come on, you knew that was coming.



7. When dressing for the day one should put on whatever they want. Seriously, if you like it, go for it.  If you're happy, comfortable, and smiling then maybe other people will be too!  Happy Friday!!!!!
