Getting to Know You Sunday #7

1. Do you like seafood? I used to love it, but recently my taste has changed and I only eat fried shrimp or crawfish. (Mmmm crawfish!) I really dislike fish, crab, shrimp that isn't fried...

2. Are mermaids hot? I think they're absolutely fascinating. Ariel's been my favorite since forever, and I think they're beautiful.

3. Have you swam in the ocean? I've surfed in the Pacific and have gotten my feet wet in the Atlantic. I've also swam in the Gulf of Mexico more times than I can remember. I love the ocean.

4. If you got stung by a jellyfish, would you let a stranger pee on you? Um...to be honest I have no clue. Depending on the amount of pain I'd be in I don't think I'd care who did what as long as it made the sting feel better.

5. Have you ever pee'd in the ocean? Guilty. I did this a lot when I was kid, but when I hit about 13 I stopped doing it...it's just nasty!

6. Can you make a cute fish face? I can make a fish face. Is it cute? Not so much. (The kids below are adorable!)

7. When you see the lobster tank at the grocery store do you just have this overwhelming urge to set them free or cook them up? Definitely to set them free!! I feel so bad for these little guys!

8. Are you afraid of sharks? Yes. When I was about 10 years old I would dive into the pool at my grandmother's house and for some reason I'd pretend that there were sharks in the deep end. If I didn't swim to the top fast enough then they'd eat me...crazy! Jaws totally ruined my liking to sharks.

Getting to Know You Sunday #6

1. If you accidentally knick a car in a parking lot...Do you leave a note or do you get the heck out of there? I would most definitely leave a note. I've had this happen to me in the past and I hated that the person just drove off and left my car injured. Not. cool.

2. Love your body or plastic surgery? Hmph. Well at the moment I do not love my body. (I had no idea marriage came with a Freshman 15!) However, I do like my shape and with a little exercise I'll be good as new. I'm not against plastic surgery, but I don't think I'd have it. I've considered having a nose job, but I've come to terms with that.

3. What about your favorite blog(s) continues to drive you back? The blogs that I love the most are the ones that are full of hope, honesty, love, reality, and humor. Life isn't perfect and it's okay to write about it.

4. What percent of your blog is BS just to make your life seem more interesting that it really is? None of my posts are BS. I do try to tone down my whining and complaining so that my blog is a pleasant place for readers, but other than that this is 100% real, 100% me.

5. If you had to give up one type of meat for the rest of your life, what would it be? Right now it's a toss up between chicken and pork. Lately I haven't been a big fan of meat in general so I don't think giving either of these up would bother me.

6. How often do you eat out? Does fast food count? If it does, then probably a few times a week for lunch. I typically always cook dinner.

7. Skinny jeans or boot cut jeans? Boot cut. My thunder thighs eat skinny jeans for breakfast.

8. If you caught your spouse cheating, would you forgive, divorce, or plan to kill? Cheating is completely unacceptable in my book. Other than hitting me, Keith knows that these two things are grounds for separation. I hate to think that one mistake would end my marriage, but I've grown up around this type of situation and it's something I swore I'd never go through again.

Getting to Know You Sunday #5

1. If you could host a Reality TV show, which one would it be? Cake Boss!! I love this show and think it would be so fun to watch Buddy and his family in action! (Not to mention all of this awesome food I would hopefully get to try!)

2. Do you put your seatbelt on before or after you start the car? I put it on right after I start my car. The first thing that I do is lock my doors. Ladies this is a great habit to pick up!

3. Shave or hair removal cream? Definitely shave. I've tried hair removal cream before and it smelled weird, burned my legs, and didn't remove all of the hair.

4. What's your favorite feature in a house? Hmmm...I would have to say the front porch. Although Keith and I never use ours, I would love to get a swing and rocking chairs so that we could sit outside and just enjoy each other.

5. What is your favorite "Fall" scent? Pumpkin spice candles. Hands down!

6. What TV show are you looking forward to seeing most this Fall?? Chuck!!! Season premiere is September 20th and I can't wait!

via

7. Personal Shopper or Personal Chef? Neither?

8. What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of "Fall"? The first thing that came to mind is "crisp air". Here are my likes and dislikes about this wonderful season!

October Faves
Cool weather (sometimes)
Mellowcreme pumpkins (LOVE these)
Going to the fair
Candy candy candy
MLB PLAYOFFS
Pumpkin spice candles (like the one in my office.)
Leaves changing/falling (sometimes)

October Dislikes
The Halloween display at Walgreens (sooooo scary...)
Creepy people who take Halloween to a whole different level
Did I say Halloween?

Getting to Know You Sunday #4

1. What kind of athlete has the hottest body? To me, a hot body is one that is healthy, confident, and active. I really admire baseball players for literally playing ball 9 months out of the year. And for women, I think a dancer's body is beautiful.

2. Are you a planner or a procrastinator? "I make plans to break plans and I've been planning something big" are lyrics by The Academy Is, and they used to explain me perfectly. I've gotten way better in the past few years and find that I follow through with most things.

3. Diet or regular (soda)? If I drink soda at all I try to make it diet. I loooove Sprite and tend to drink that a lot. I hate drinking my calories, but one here and there isn't too bad.

4. What's your one "must have" for Fall? My mind is focused on school and my real must have is a new computer.

5. What's your favorite fast food restaurant? Raising Canes! South Carolina is finally getting a location here and I can't wait!

6. What do you think is the sexiest profession for a guy? A meaningful job with passion is the most attractive thing. A job in public service, ministry, with children...anything that gives back.

7. Did you wear braces? Nope, but in the 5th grade I tried to convince my parents that I needed them. They were so cool back then!

8. Would you rather have a guy that's super sexy or kind? I chose to have my husband. He's sexy, kind and so much more.

Getting to Know You Sunday #3

1. Do you think mustaches are sexy? Absolutely not. I think some men can pull it off, but all in all staches just creep me out.

2. What's the last concert you've been to? My hubs took me to see Taylor Swift last year. It really was such a fantastic show...a little long...like +3 hours of her singing, but still good!

3. What was your favorite 80's sitcom? I was born in 1986, so I don't remember what I watched, BUT I do know that I loved and still love Full House. Kapish? :o)

4. Were you named after anyone? Not that I'm aware of.

5. When you buy new clothes, do you wash before wearing? Sometimes I do. You never know you tried those items on before you!

6. If you didn't blog, what would you do with your spare time? I'd probably waste my time on Facebook, but I'd like to think that I'd be productive and study for the LSAT or read a good book.

7. What is your favorite department store? Does Target count?

8. If you were to get Laser Hair Removal..where would you get it? Definitely on my legs! I'd save time, cuts, and the embarrassment of wearing a dress to work and forgetting that I haven't shaved in a week.

Getting to Know You Sunday #2

1. If you were to win an award today, what would it be for? I'd win the Emotional Award today. The waterworks were definitely working...stupid hormones. (Sorry KC!)

2. What is your shoe style? During the week I wear flats and heels to work, and on the weekend I'm a flip-flop kind of girl.

3 Does your car reflect your personality? Yes and no. I drive a Yaris (aka the Baby Yaris) and the car looks a bit silly, and I can be a silly girl. Then again, I'm pretty assertive and my poor little car is not. :o)

4. If you could take over someones body for a day..whose would you choose? As much as I'd like to choose someone whose body I admire, I'm going to have to say nobody. I want mine, but a toned version.

5. Love or be loved? I pick both (obviously) but if I had to choose, it would be to love. My heart is too big to just keep receiving it...I'm a giver.

6. If you were on death row, what last meal would you choose? Lasagna and a nice, big salad.

7. Have you been on vacation this Summer, if so where? I haven't, but we're heading to the mountains in October! Yay!!!

8. What is your favorite food related guilty pleasure? Sweets are definitely my weak spot, especially ice cream!

Getting to Know You Sunday #1

1. If you had to choose a country to live in besides USA (or the country you live in), which would it be? If I had to choose, I would love to live in Italy. Ever since I was little I've always been fascinated by the people, food, music, etc. and would love to immerse myself in their culture.

2. Which would be worse, wearing flip flops in the snow or wearing gloves in the summer? Flip flops in the snow, definitely. At the beginning of this year when it snowed in Charleston I wore jeans and sneakers. After falling a few times my jeans were soaked and my legs were burning! I can't imagine wearing flip flops!

3. Fried or Bake and why? Even though I am trying to be healthier, I definitely choose fried! You can take the girl out of Louisiana, but you can't take the Louisiana out of the girl! :o)
4. If you were an entertainment reporter, which celeb would you love to interview and why? I would love to interview Sandra Bullock. She seems like a genuinely kind person, and I really love the work she has done on and off the screen. Such a classy lady!

5. What was your favorite book as a preteen/teenager? I loved the American Girl Series - Molly, The Babysitters Club, and Sweet Valley High!
6. List your top 3 guilty pleasure television shows. Cake Boss, Chuck, and One Tree Hill (KC and I are watching Season 5 right now with crazy Nanny Carrie. He he.)

7. What bumper sticker slogan best describes you/your attitude/your life?
Be patient, God isn't finished with me yet.

8. If you were to join a circus - what performer would you be? I'd like to think I'd be an acrobat. :o)
