Getting to know You

The questions..

1. Are you more of a talker or a listener?

Probably a talker.

2. Bra. Underwire or wireless?

wire..for sure, but I do like a good sports

3. I wish I was.....?

a mom or employed

4. The Academy Awards are on tonight..will you watch?

no, I've never really been one to watch any of that

5. Do you put your deodorant on before or after you get dressed?

after---always after

6. Would you rather do the dishes or clean toilets?

clean toilets. sinks are usually high so they are uncomfortable for me.

7. How much did you weigh at birth?

I  have no idea-I wanna say 7 pounds?

8. If you could only buy one thing for the Spring/Summer season..what would it be?

a new pair of flip flops, but anything fresh and new I would take

Fill In the Blank Friday..on Sunday

I know, I know...it's Sunday

But for lack of anything else interesting to really post about other than re-potting my Norfolk Island Pine tree this weekend, I thought I would enlighten you with some more about me!

Can you guess which one is mine?

If you guessed the left one, you are wrong...it's the right one. YAY! I was worried that mine wasn't growing very well because I would occasionally forget to water it and have to pull dead/dry branches off. But after seeing that other one, mine looks GREAT!

Anyway--time to fill in some blanks.

1.  One thing I MUST do before I die is be a mom--for sure! I'd also like to travel the world, but that is more unlikely to happen as we are both teachers. 

2.  I would rather be creative (photography, sew, artsy-things) than teach any day. 

3.  If I could give my younger self one piece of advice it would be getting married early was totally worth it and to be a little more adventurous once and awhile!

4.  If I won the lottery tomorrow I'd buy a house outright with land [even if it is a small house!] If I could buy a job I would.  Maybe opt for a beach house instead ?!?

5.  The best surprise ever was when my hubs bought me a new computer for Christmas.

6.  My biggest fault is I am completely and utterly the worst decision maker. I'm trying to work on it, but I'm still terrible. Probably because I'm okay with what other people choose--if that makes them happy.

7.  My biggest strength is I love challenges.

This week the topic for the photo challenge is "Hilarious Outtakes".
One of our pups was laying so nicely and looked ohh soo peaceful and innocent. The button was pushed..that picture was snapped..and this is what we gots. A body-less dog that looks like he is ready to eat you.

Here.There.Where?

I've lived in this place for pretty much my entire life. All but maybe a year. [unless you include college, but I came home FREQUENTLY]. I was never a teenager that hated living here because it was boring. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Sure there aren't a ton of things other than grocery stores, Kmart, gas stations within 5 minutes..but it's what lays just outside. 

I'm talking about...

being within a reasonable drive to philly or a beach, or Ikea ☺

being able to count 3 or 4 movie theaters 

[that you could use if you go to the movies-unlike us]

A plethora of decent shopping areas that include a Target, a Walmart, 2 malls, 2 outlets, and just about 

most stores an average person could ask for.

and then you have our families. It's safe to say I've always been a family girl. I enjoy being near them. I love that since I've been married I've never had to take a trip to visit my parents or my in-laws. You can just drop in, and yet they are still excited to see you!

I would miss all of this. But I think I have finally hit that point where I wouldn't mind am up for a move. To venture out into a new place with my *family*-the mister and the pups.

I've never pictured myself as being a *city girl* but even that seems fun and interesting and exciting right now. Who knows what's drawing me to this. Maybe it's just the fact that we would be on our own again-living how married people are supposed to be living---on.their.own. Or maybe it's because I know in order to move at least one of us would have an adequate job. I know however I am tired.completely DONE with subbing. I hate it.

I will say however not all places sound appealing to me [I'm sorry if you live in one of them]:

Missouri, the Midwest states [I couldn't imagine living surrounded by land for thousands of miles], Ho Chi Minh City--places like that. 

I am just.so.ready. to know where we will be in August/September--and hoping, praying, that it's somewhere else. Since we thought at first that this move would be temporary, we quickly realized it would be longer. We've been here for more than 6 months. The part that has to be the hardest is that it feels as though we are moving backwards--not forwards, not even floating in place---backwards. And that is NOT a pleasant feeling.
