I have been tagged

One of my blogger friends, Maura who is now my IRL friend tagged me for this post so here goes....

Here are the rules: You give five random facts about yourself. You answer the questions provided to you. You come up with different questions. Then, you tag five people to do it, too.

Five Facts about Me:

I cannot wait to be a mom. In my "life plan", I would have had 2-3 kids by now. Too bad, I am still working on finding a husband!

Today on January 30, I became an aunt of 2 nephews! Luke James entered the world at 2:26 AM, weight 6 lbs. 9 oz. 

My biggest accomplishment last year was losing 35 lbs. 

My second biggest accomplishment was finding the guts to end a 4 year relationship with the boy who I thought was "the one".

Possibly due to the 2 previous facts (definitely the 4rth), I found a boy who really might be "the one". The best thing is is that he tells me I'm "the one" for him almost on a daily basis.  

1. What's your favorite movie?

My Father the Hero

You have probably never heard of it

Here is a post about my favorite movies. 

2. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Charleston, SC

I've never even been there, but think it would  be a great town to live in! 

I wouldn't mind living somewhere in Europe for a year too! 

3. Summer or winter?

I think I would have to go with summer. The biggest reason for that is because I am a teacher. It really has nothing to do with the weather! 

4. If you won one million dollars, what would you splurge on?

That's hard. I would probably splurge on a house. I am so tired of living in an apartment! 

5. Do you have any siblings?

I have one brother. He is a year and a half younger than me. He is getting married this year to the mother of his now 2 children.  

6. What's your dream job?

Being a mother!

If it has to be a paying a job, I am really not sure. I would like to be some sort of event planner or maybe an interior decorator. Both of those sound super fun! 

7. If you had to give up one social media outlet between Blogger, Facebook and Twitter, what would it be?

Well I gave up facebook a year ago and haven't looked back yet. 

8. What's your favorite cartoon character?

I am not a cartoon person AT ALL. I never really watched cartoons when I was little and can't stand them now. 

9. What's one beauty product you can't live without?

Only one??? That's tough. 

10. Give up eating out for a month or give up shopping for a month?

Definitely eating out. I don't like to eat out that much now so it wouldn't be that hard for me. 

11. Can you speak any other languages?

Nope, just English. 

And here are my questions:

1. What is YOUR worst bad habit?

2. What bad habits drive YOU crazy?

3. What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself?

4. Clean or messy?

5. One thing you miss about being a kid?

6. Favorite song of all time?

7. If you could meet a genie in a bottle, what would be your 3 wishes?

8. What would you have as your last meal?

9. Favorite thing to do on a Saturday afternoon?

10. Favorite workout? 

And the 5 bloggers I'm naming are:

Jenn @ Perfectly Imperfect

Rochelle @ Life, Love and in Between

Savanah @ What Makes Savanah Smile

Holly @ A Cajun Belle

Brittany @ Less Britt and More Life

Anyone?

So I am going to a Mardi Gras ball this weekend and need to figure out how I will do my hair. Anyone want to be my personal stylist for the night?? I have no talent when it comes to my hair and I also have thick, curly, frizzy hair that I try my best to straighten and tame on a daily basis! It has gotten a lot better over the years thanks to the invention of the flat iron! I've seen quite a few that I like on Pinterest, but could probably never copy doing it myself!

Phone Photo Fun

Today I am participating in Phone Photo Fun with Savanah. There's really not that much interesting stuff in my phone, but here goes. 

The first few pictures are a few from our trip to DC back in December. I lugged around my DSLR camera with several lenses...yea the battery was dead....yes I am an idiot. So I had to use my iPhone. 

















I cannot wait to see The Lion King musical this summer. I have been waiting for this for YEARS!




I cannot wait to see Cory Morrow and Roger Creager on February 25 after the Rodeo Cook Off. Some girl friends of mine are coming in town and it will be a great weekend!






I love my new place setting in my dining room. I started collecting Juliska Berry and Thread plates awhile back....why wait to get married right? It obviously wasn't happening anytime soon anyway! 





My sweet little one curled up right next to me. She has to be next to me at all times of the day. Seriously. 

My outfit on Saturday night. Terribly picture quality.
