Happy Hump Day!

To put a smile on your face...I've laughed at this a few times today!!  Got it in an email.

{one} what was your first job?

I'll have to say a few...when I was 14 or 15, I worked as a swim instructor...then when I turned 16, I started working at my Dad's as an office assistant...But my first real job was as a Recreation Therapist at a children's behavioral health hospital...still doing the same thing, at a different place and loving it!

{two} have you ever seen a stand up comedian?

Couple times on a cruise, no big namers...not that I would really know any, but Mike DVR's a few here and there that can be pretty funny.

{three} when was the last time you played mini golf?

Probably about a year ago with the kiddos at work.  Use to love going to play mini golf on dates!

{four} what was the last picture you took?

Last night of car light trails on riverside.

{five} burnt food: yes or no?

no… yuck.

{six} if you have a pocket full of change, what do you do with it?

I'd never have a full pocket of change because I don't carry cash...but Mike has a big old mug that I would put it in if I did.

{seven} can you touch your tongue to your nose?

Yep, not super long that I can stick it in my nose though.

{eight} do you scrapbook?

I used to be a scrapbooking crazy girl...I made a baby book for a friend and have had intentions to make Casey's Marine scrapbook.  For my own photos, I think I'm gonna try the digital scrapbook.

{nine} do you buy lottery tickets?

No, although before Oklahoma had the lottery, when I went out of state, I would buy one just to say I've played the lotto, but since we've had it here, haven't bought a one!

{ten} do you prefer to be in front of the camera or behind it?

Both!  I absolutely love being the photographer, but love to get in the pics with family and friends even though I don't do it a lot.

Happy Hump Day!

Happy Ash Wednesday!

{one} what color is your kitchen?

The walls are one of bazillions shade of white, but I have accented with Oranges, Yellows, and Reds.  Very warm and fun to cook in!

{two} do you have a good luck charm?

nope, guess not.

{three} do you prefer to write with a pen or pencil?

Pen...I have to use black at work, but if I had it my way, I love writing with fun color pens like orange, pink, turquoise, green, or purple!

{four} can you use chopsticks?

Yep, but no pro!

{five} do you prefer baths or showers?

Showers, definitely.  It's funny, my girlfriends and I had this conversation last night...I would love to love baths...but I get so bored and too hot, so I normally don't last too long in the bath.

{six} what is your favorite salad dressing?

Poppy Seed

{seven} can you sing the alphabet backwards?

Nope!

{eight} do you have any allergies?

Thankfully No.

{nine} crunchy or creamy peanut butter?

{one} do you wear holey jeans? if so, do you buy them that way?

No, I think that they are fun, but I just can't bring myself to spend the money for holey jeans.

{two} do you get a full 8 hours of sleep per night?

No, again...I sure wish I would have better sleeping habits, but I blame Mike...he's such a night owl, so I stay up and usually fall asleep on the couch while he's watching T.V. or on the computer.

{three} what’s your favorite way to eat an Oreo?

I just eat it normal...no special way.

{four} do you wear shoes in your house?

If you mean do I not allow shoes on the carpet...yes, we wear our shoes...but my usual thing to do once I get home is kick off the shoes the socks and go barefoot!

{five} who would you call first if you won the lottery?

Mike!!  Then my parents...but I won't hold my breath!

{six} have you ever been in a food fight?

I don't remember one.

{seven} do you snore?

Not on a normal basis, but Mike says I sometimes do if I get 'over served' ;)

{eight} do you know how fast you type?

Nope

{nine} can you do a headstand (without using a wall)?

Yes, but not for long.

{ten} how do you like your popcorn?

I like buttery popcorn and then add some more of my own melted butter!  My arteries love me!


Play along here!

The Groundhog was Right!

Let's just hope it's not a fluke! As many of you know, on February 2nd,  Phil came out and did not see his shadow and declared that there would be an early spring!  Praise Jesus!  I for one, completely forgot all about Groundhog Day and Phil because we were in the middle of Record Breaking Snow Storms in Oklahoma.  I am starting to feel the Spring make it's way in.  Today was absolutely beautiful and I'm so sad I had to work inside ALL day long!  But I did pull out the capri's!  I was so pumped to be able to wear my capri's to work today and I was so happy all day. 
It's hard to imagine just in the last 2 weeks, we had over 25 inches of snow (over 40 inches in some areas of the state!!!), hanging out in my long john's, having to get all bundled up with lots-o-layers, spending hours choveling snow, and an 85* temperature change!!  Over 100* change in Nowata... I think...the temp there was  -31 at one point!!!  FRA-FREAKING-FREEZING!!  But today it got up to 70* and was wonderfully beautiful!

And what a great way to spend such a splendid evening...With Mike's Grandma.  Today is her birthday and we (Mike, me, and Joanna-Mike's sister) took her out to Zio's for her birthday dinner.  Then we headed back to her place for cake and chocolate ice cream....mmm mmm good!  Mike and Joanna enjoyed the helium balloons and I thoroughly enjoyed that!  Happy Birthday Grandma Doris!!

A little belated...Happy Love Day!
Hope everyone shared some love with someone on Monday....I shared the day with my kiddos at work, we made valentines and played some Valingo!  (Valentine's Day Bingo) and talked about how we can show our love to others.  Then I got to go to the dentist and had a superb check-up.  I love going to the dentist!

Mike and I don't make a big deal outta Valentine's Day, but we had fun making dinner...a heart-shaped steak...yes that was the only steaks that Reasor's had and yes I took a picture of it, and yes Mike made fun of me for taking a picture of it.  So we enjoyed our heart-shaped steaks with green beans and a baked potato.  I also made dessert...Chocolate Crepes or as Mike liked calling it Chocolate Crepe Myrtle. My husband is a dork and I love him so much for it! I also love that Mike insisted that we have dessert first!  So after dessert, then dinner, we watched the wonderfully romantic movie....Step-Brothers!  I love that movie, I laughed so hard the first time I watched it and it's still so darn funny to me.  We had a wonderful evening. 

Hope y'all had a great weekend, Happy Love Day, and a Happy Hump Day!  So glad Friday is almost here!

Share the love, every day, not just on Love Day!

{one} how tall are you?

4'11'' and 5/8ths...yes, 5/8ths!

{two} besides bills, what do you spend most of your money on?

Nothing really that fun...groceries, a little house decor here and there...but really I'm a tightwad!

{three} what are your three favorite websites?

Blogger, Facebook, 365 Project

{four} what brand of tennis shoes do you prefer?

My favorite is Mizuno, but currently I have Saucony...The Marines issued these to my brother and I found some at Marshall's for really cheap...so I tried'em and really like them.

{five} what food can you absolutely not stand to eat?

There are lots, but probably Sushi or Salmon.

{six} How many pairs of jeans do you own?

3-4 that fit and 2-3 that I hope to fit back into!

{seven} if you could have any job, what would it be?

I love my job as a Recreation Therapist.  I love working with kids with behavioral health problems because it's a new adventure everyday.  We have good days and bad days, but it keeps me on my toys and reminds me to stay young at heart.  With that said, if I couldn't be that, I would want to be a Professional Photographer of sports, nature, and people and a Veterinarian.

{eight} have you ever ridden in an ambulance?

Nope, thankfully.

{nine} how many pillows do you sleep with?

We have 6 sleeping pillows and 2 decorative pillows on the bed...I sleep with one under my head and one next to me...Mike sleeps with three and Remi sleeps with one.  Yes she is a super spoiled doogie!

{ten} on a scale of 1-5, how organized are you?

Mike would probably say 2-3...I say a 4.  I like things to be organized and I know where my things are...but others may not see my organization skills the same way.
