30 Days of Truth - 21, 22, 23, 24

Day 21 → (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?

No questions asked my arse would be on the way to where ever she is in a matter of seconds. She is my BFF for a million reasons and I couldn't imagine not being there. Though to be completely honest in the 14 years we have known each other we haven't gotten in a single fight and I just don't see that being an issue.


Day 22 → Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.
Ha! I can come up with more than one answer for this and some of them I don't want the world to know. Buuuuuttttttt.... This is kinda saying what do you regret and honestly I don't really regret anything. There are things I should have done differently but without doing the things I did I wouldn't be the person I am today.
But a real honest to goodness answer would be Not gotten myself into debt. I'm almost out. And I know that my debt was NOTHING compared to some people but I am mad at myself for letting it get as far as I did. Day 23 → Something you wish you had done in your life.



SAVED SAVED SAVED! Money that is. Goes along with above but had I saved more we would be able to have our current dream home much faster. Not that we are hurting but it would be nice to have more.


Day 24 → Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)
I don't really see how this is a truth so.... I'm skipping it. :)

Day 25 → The reason you believe you’re still alive today.
Because I have never wanted to die and I take care of myself?! What kind of question is this? There are a million and one reasons I'm alive the major reason is to be the best mom to my little B though.

Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day to all my lovely readers! I hope you have a wonderful time if you celebrate this Hallmark Holiday! ;)

J and I don't. We usually get each other a card and call it a day. I said Happy Valentines Day to him this morning and he looked like a deer caught in headlights. He said he didn't even realize it was today! haha.

However, I had a valentines photo shoot with B a couple weeks ago and want to share the pictures! I'm so in love with them. I made her tutu and she is wearing my pearls my grandparents gave me for my 8th grade graduation.

Her baby blues make me smile. I wish my eyes were that blue without contacts.

30 Days of Truth 18, 19 and 20

Well we survived the blizzard - barely. It is hard to say exactly how much snow we got since we live in the wide open and the winds were gusting up to about 70mph at times but we heard they are estimating our town at 20-22". We have 6'tall snow drifts in our yard and now that J has plowed our driveway we have hills that are about 8'. We lost power 3 times but thankfully only a matter of about 2 minutes at the longest.
But.... by barely I mean my Brynnie isn't feeling good. She had a fever of 102.5* and was so sad all the time. She wouldn't sleep yesterday or last night unless she was being held. Not that I minded that at all. She woke up this morning and her temp was down slightly to 101.3 and now it seems to have gone. Last I checked she was at 98.0 :) She is still a bit fussy and I actually think the cause of all of it is teething but only time will tell on that one.

Onto the 30 Days of Truth (I should probably just be calling this 30 Truths since I threw out that day thing huh?)
Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.
I have no issues with gay marriage. If you love someone who am I to say you can't be with them? It may not be for me but I don't see why people have problems with it.  



Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
Well as for religion I would have to say I am more of a spiritual person than a religious person. I appreciate that everyone has their own beliefs but I get upset when people try and push their religion on me. I believe in God. I believe in a higher being. I do not go to church. I will celebrate my religion in my way.
Politics are a whole other subject.... I will sum up my feelings on politics with this story. One night J & I were talking to B and telling her how wonderful she is and that she has the ability to be anything she wants in life. I then said you can be anything but don't be a bad person, like a prostitute or murderer or thief. Don't lie and lead people to believe one thing and then do another. All Jeff said was in other words Don't be a politician. I about died laughing from laughing so hard. I try and avoid talking about politics.



Day 20 → Your views on drugs and alcohol.
Drugs are def not for me. I don't see what good that they can possibly do. Prescription drugs are even too much for some people. As for alcohol I will admit I like my adult beverages. At one time in my life I liked to have too many in a night. Now I am at a point that I drink for the taste because I enjoy it not because I want to get drunk.
I know too many people who use one or the other too frequently and have gotten themselves addicted and into a mess of trouble. I'll just stick with my wine and margaritas on occasion and be a happy girl.

Gasp! 30 Days of Truth! 14-17

It can't be?! I'm actually going to do one of these posts? (I maybe kinda forgot about them. Sorry)
Day 14 → A hero that has let you down.
To be totally honest I have no.freaking.clue what I would say to this.
Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.The people in my life are important and I wouldn't try to live without them. I couldn't imagine the thought. So I just won't. However there is something that I have yet to figure out how to live without. Sugar! I have such a huge sweet tooth it is disgusting. I would eat candy or cake or ice cream or similar every.single.day.

Day 16 → Someone or something you definitely could live without.Drama! Oh dear lord. It is ridiculously absurd the drama that still pops up in my life at 29 years old. I swear people still act like they are in grade school. It pops up at work dealing with 50 year old men, people my age, and random things I hear.

And as a side note and a pre-courser to the blizzard we are supposed to get hit with tomorrow I will say I would gladly do without snow. YUCK!


Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.Oh wow is this a bad time to talk about books. I'm OBSESSED do you hear me OBSESSED with reading right now. J got me a kindle for Christmas and I think he is kicking himself for it. I have my face buried in that thing the minute B goes to sleep at night. (At least I try to)
I mostly read fictional works so I honestly can't come up with a book that answers this question the way it is supposed to be answered but I have recently read 1 series and am now onto a second that are so gripping I can't put them down. The first was Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. They were simply amazing. I read all 3 of them in 6 days. I cannot wait for the movie to come out though I know I am sure to be disappointed in it. (March of 2012 for any fans that don't know that yet.)

And the series I am currently reading is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I am IN.LOVE! with the main male character of this series. Jamie Fraser. Swoon. I came home from work the other day and told Jeff I had a crush on someone. He looked at me all crazy like. Then I told him it was a character from a book and I don't think he has ever looked at me crazier. I seriously think he wanted to commit me to a mental institution on the spot. I can't help it. I told my uncle- he is also reading the books and he said he wants to be Jamie Fraser. He is that amazing. Seriously swoon.
I'm currently on book 2 Dragonfly in Amber. (Thank god for my Kindle and the instant gratification of downloading a book in 60 seconds - oh and for waiting to read a series 20 years after the first book comes out. Yes I googled it.) And I gotta say... still in love.

More from me later as we are in the middle of Snowmagedon 2011 and our power has already gone out once for a couple minutes. Plus dinner smells delish and is making my tummy all rumbly. :) If we survive this you will hear from me soon.

xoxo....P
