Everybodys Doing It

I've been tagged by Steph and since I knew I wouldn't be at post today, I did this in advance.

Step 1: respond and rework—answer the questions on your own blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention, add one more question of your own.

Step 2: tag—eight other un-tagged people.

1. What were you doing before you started this post? Well, I was at the library and then the PX and then finally here...doing this post.

2. What is the last thing you read/are currently reading? Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot

3. Do you nap a lot? Yep, in fact Boomer and I took a nap yesterday.

4. Who was the last person you hugged? Sean I am sure

5. What is your favorite TV series? Six Feet Under! I love it

6. What was the last thing you said out loud? "Bless you" to the guy next to me on the computer

7. What websites do you always visit when you go online? hotmail, blogger, MySpace

8. What was the last item you bought? Blanket, alarm clock and various other household items. I need to go buy a Dr. Pepper though, I've got a wicked headache.

9. What is your most challenging goal? Losing this last ten pounds. It's not easy. I've been slacking and eating things I shouldn't...in excess.

10. If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished- anywhere in the world, where would it be? Oohh I can't have two places? I'm going to say Wyoming, close to the Grand Tetons. It's one of my favorite places I've ever been.

11. Favorite Vacation spot? Any National Park...I love visiting them.

12. Say something to the person who tagged you: Steph- I'm so glad that I "met" you through blogging and I can't wait to meet you in person, my fellow Okie. :)

13. Name one thing you just can't resist no matter how bad it is for you: Reeses Peanut Butter cups. They could be my currency...they are so good.

14. What is your favorite item of clothing? My American Eagle jeans that are distressed in all the right places.

15. If you were any spice what would you be and why? I'd be cinnamon, because I'm sweet with a bite.

16. Name one thing you can not live with out: occasional Dr. Peppers...I'll never be able to completely stop drinking them.

17. Has a celebrity's haircut ever influenced you on your own hairstyle? Yep, I wanted Britney hair a few years ago, but in never turned out like hers

18. What is your drink of choice. Water or if we're speaking alcholic? A nice Mojito..with fresh mint of course

19. What would you eat for one meal, if you could eat anything and not gain the calories or fat
grams, etc?

I would eat as much Mexican food, preferably Ted's, that I could fit in my stomach. Chips, salsa, guacamole, chicken enchilada's, more chips and salsa. and tortillas! Oh my gosh yum.... (I'm so stealing Steph's answer)

20. What are you wearing right now? My fave jeans, a cream colored sweater and clogs

21. What's your favorite room in your house? Well...once it's decorated probably our bedroom

22. If you were to have a baby boy and girl tomorrow, what would you name them?
Personally I'd want to name them Vanessa and Logan, but Sean has vetoed both those names

23. What is one of your fondest memories?

The summer I took two of the best trips of my life. The first was a two week trip to through some of the National Parks in the west. Beautiful scenery, awe-inspiring actually and then my cruise to Alaska with my family. It was the last big vacation I've gone on with my family and it was awesome.

24. What's a talent you wish you had?

I wish I could pick up languages easily. I really have to work to be able to even understand them. They don't come to me easily at all. Well...at least in my opinion they don't.

I'm tagging whoever hasn't done this and would like to!

Randoms of Yours Truly...and the long awaited hair pic

I've been tagged by KD over at Life of the Wife , Katie at True Life: I'm an Army Wife and Melissa at Flying Tiger.




I always love hearing random things about people so I live for tags like this.

1. I have a thing about numbers, even though I hate math. For example, when pumping gas I like the amount to end evenly on the dollar. If I'm setting my alarm clock I have to set it in a number ending in a O or 5. Same way when I'm cooking something in the microwave.

2. I've never seen The Notebook or Titanic all the way through. I'm not really a fan of chick flicks.

3. My family makes fun of me because they insist I say batato instead of potato. I don't think this is true though.

4. Before this year I'd never had a massage and I've still never had a pedicure.

5. If I could go back and do it over I'd choose a different wedding dress. Paying out of pocket for my own wedding didn't leave me enough money to get the dress of my dreams.

6. When I was younger I pretty much refused to eat meat. Exceptions were hamburgers and chicken fingers. I loathed roast and refused to eat steak. Thank goodness I got over that as an adult. (I was 20 before I really started liking steak)

7. I love to dress up, but I could be perfectly content to wear a hoodie, jeans and tennis shoes everyday. Alas that would put me on What Not to Wear so I try to mix it up.

I'm not tagging anyone because I'm pretty sure almost everyone has done this, so if you want to do it, feel free!

Ok...so here's the hair pic. Yeah...to some it may look the same. Yes, the cut pretty much is, but I swear the color is darker.

Up Close and Personal (A Tag)

So I've been tagged by Mrs. Forever over at A Housewife's Journey to Forever and I always love a good tag, so here it goes.

Top Four Wishes:

1. I wish I could magically lose 10-15 more lbs and not have to work really hard at it.

2. I wish I could someday be a great photographer and make money doing it!

3. I wish I had the style of Stacy London and the decorating sense of Martha Stewart.

4. That I could become fluent in any language.

Four places I want to travel to:

1. Australia- there's something about the Land Down Under that I really want to experience. Minus the poisonous snakes and scary spiders.

2. Greece- I've wanted to go there forever and everytime I see pictures of it I get this longing to experience it.

3. Africa- namely somewhere I can go on a safari. It's on my list of places to see before I die.

4. Normandy(France)- specifically Omaha Beach and that area. Just thinking of what it must have been like on D-Day gives me goosebumps.

Four careers I want to be involved in:

1. Photographer- I love everything about photography. I constantly think in my head what would make a good picture. I'm not sure I want to go into wedding photography or the likes of that, but I do love taking pictures of babies and those I love.

2. Librarian- I'd really like to be a elementary librarian. I loved working at a library a few years ago and I've wanted to be a librarian ever since.

3. Professional blogger- If I could get paid to blog or even have my blogs published in a book would be awesome! I want to write like Jen Lancaster!

4. Mom- One of these days when I'm ready I do want to be an awesome mom.

Four things I would like God to say to me at the gates of Heaven:

1. So you finally made it!

2. I've got some people I want you to meet

3. Now's your chance to ask me all those questions you've been saving up for years

4. See that lovely mansion over there? Second one down? Yeah...that's yours!

Four people I tag:

1. Mrs. Newlywed

2. Rebecca at My Cup Overflows

3.Lindsey at Learning to be a Wife

4.Whitney at Glamorous Life of a Housewife
