It's been a while

Posted by Shauna |

Since I got tagged for something and actually completed one of these! But I asked for it! So I am going to complete it with joy!

Favorite person (outside family)? I am so not answering this. This is such a terrible question Soliloquy - and you just did this to get other people mad at each other!

Favorite food? LOVE Fried Okra

Quirks about you? I actually dont know if there are that many normal things about me. Let's see: I wear shoes from the moment that I wake up to the moment that I go to bed. I hate to be barefoot in my house. There are more. Many more. But I will just go with that.

How would the person who loves you most describe you in ten words or less? I would ask. He is not home. We'll see if he gets home before I go to post this. Or maybe, he should make a little comment and tell you people about me.

Any regrets in life? Yes. But even the things that I regret have greatly shaped who I am and who I am becoming every day.

Favorite Charity/ Cause? I have felt a strong pull toward adoption lately. I have always had a strong passion for the cause of Christ! The "cause" of Eternity.

Favorite Blog recently? ooooh, lots of favorites. New favorite would be www.beachymimi.blogspot.com - Queen B's mom is freakin' awesome!

Something you can’t get enough of? Diet Dr. Pepper and recently the gym

Worst job you’ve ever had? Hmmm....Copier Sales.

What job would you pay NOT to have? There are oh so many. I have gotten really comfortable staying at home and working from my house...for myself. I would prefer to never work for another person again.

If you could be a fly on the wall, where? The set of The Office. Hilarious.

Favorite Bible verse right now? Jer29:11For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Guilty Pleasure? Regular Dr. Pepper

Got any confessions? Nope

If you HAD to spend $1,000 on YOURSELF, how would you spend it? I love stuff for my house - I think I would get new bedding for my bed. And a sink for our guest bathroom. And some accessories.

Favorite thing about your house? Our backyard. It is about a third of an acre (smaller than yours Lanxi, but whatever). I love it!

Least favorite thing about your house? Our master bathroom. Ugh.

One thing you are bad at? Accepting criticism. I like to act like I can. But I have a tough time with it. Not because I think that I am perfect though. It is mostly because I know that I am crappy at things - so I dont really need anyone else to point it out!

One thing you’re good at? Blogging. Taking pictures of my own face.

If you could change something about your circumstances, what? I would give one of the kids away. I am SOOOOOOO just kidding!

Who would you like to meet someday? Soliloquy. :) I thought that would make you smile.

What makes you feel sexy? Putting on eye makeup. Not really the putting on part - but once it is done. And wearing clothes that fit and look great.

Who is your real life hero? You know - I dont ever really think about this. BUT. My mom is amazing. I adore her steadfastness. And her patience. She is just very lovely and wonderful. When I think of the Proverbs 31 woman - I believe that she is truly striving to be one of those women whether she knows it or not!

What is the hardest part of your job? The balancing act. But you know what. I love the satisfaction that good balance brings at the end of the day.

When are you most relaxed? When I am asleep and I can't think anymore. I dont really relax until I have no control over it. I sometimes find my fists balled up even when I am laying in my bed at night. I have to conciously relax my hands and my brain and all!

What stresses you out? Money. Cold hard cash money.

What can you not live without? Baby kisses. I thrive on my kids kisses!

Do you agree or disagree with the recent article that reported that blogs are authored by narcissists? I could care less. One of those battles that I dont care to fight.

Why do you blog? So many reasons.

  • It is my life-story. I think that my kids will treasure it one day. I will treasure reading back over what exactly was going on in 2008.
  • I suck at talking to people in person unless I am 100% confident and well-rehearsed in what I want to say. I can say what I want on here. You people can read it. Disagree. Agree. Whatever. I dont have to fight back if I dont feel like it. If I do want to fight back - I can calculate and write out what I want to say!
  • Friends. Oh how we love to have friends, right? Well, a blog allows me to surround myself with a bunch of friends that choose me. You pick me. It makes me feel special. I love it.
  • There are more but i wont bore you.


Okay - rules:
1. Answer the questions
2. Link back to whoever tagged you
3. TAG some people....there was a list but I dont have the time to do that many!

Bloggers you don’t think will answer
OR just do what I did and fill out however many you want from whatever category. It’s my blog after all, I can make up the rules too!

I am tagging:

I know that I am your favorite person...you just couldn't put it because we are family! And, can you believe I have never had fried okra?

Well, I was excited to see my name in the favorite person category until I read the answer in its entirely and realized you were speaking TO me and not about me.

And then I had hurt feelings.

Until I read that I'm the person you want to meet someday?!

My hurt feelings vanished. Well, when we do get to meet - and we WILL - we're going to have to decide who's going to shake and who's going to pour.

Martini's that is.

GREAT answers, girl! Loved them!!

Yes Laura - you are my favorite person - but dont tell anyone else please!

Vintage Dutch Girl said...

I'm working on it!

Stephen & Lauren Reber said...

So can you make fried okra--also a first-timer there.

Tammy said...

You are so right, Beachy Mimi is just hysterical. I am loving her blog right now!

Thanks for stopping by mine!

I did what you said (mixing Diet Dr. P & regular Dr. P) so that now I'm pretty much acclimated to it, but I found a new diet soda love and I had to share it with you...Diet Cherry Coke - IT ROCKS!!!
