BUT NO MORE!

today you shall learn silly things about me. Enjoy!

1. Where is your cell phone: 
On my desk…. I am awkward at talking on the phone…

2. Your hair:

It is an utter disaster! I went to get my hair cut and colored. The stylist (I use that term loosely) refused to color it the way I wanted it). Now I have a “mom” haircut….

3. Your mother:
Works so hard to make a better life for herself. And she loves my daughter so much!

4. Your father:
Pretty funny fellow. Member of club “Beefy Boy” (note: you would have to be a family member to understand that reference).

Recently all I want is coconut shrimp from Red Lobster.

I did not have any dreams..but my hubby dreamed that it was illegal to have pets…

12. Where were you last night:

 Sitting at home watching “Gilmore Girls” in DVD. Lauren Graham is a goddess, and I am convinced that if we ever me we would be best friends….

13. Something you are not:

I cannot tell a lie! Seriously, I get all weird-faced and fidgety if I try to fib.

14. Muffins:

Favorite muffins are from the MudHouse in Springfield, MO. “Death by Chocolate” is really a dessert disguised as a breakfast item!

Are few and far between. But I love them so much! 

22. Your life:

Is better than I make it out to be in my head.

32. One place you go over and over:

To the bathroom… kidding… unless you know me…

33. One person who emails me regularly:

Jenna. We try to cheer each other up with our silly e-mails.

34. Favorite place to eat:

I think I need to find a place that I like in Arkansas. The only restaurant that comes to mind is in Springfield “Nonna’s”

35. Where do you want to be in 6 years:

I want to live somewhere like Germany or Austin or anywhere that is not Arkansas (I know that was all over the place). I want to be working from home drawing and taking care of my kiddos (I do plan to have at least one more within the next 6 years). I want to be healthy and see my husband succeed as an amazing Math Professor.


Wow. If you read that whole thing, I commend you.

    I laughed at the “Beefy Boy” memory! What a fun memory that is! I just got a visual of us all on a vacation together again, but this time with some new “Beefy Boy” club members…our husbands! Don’t know that they really fit that description, but just a funny thought.

    I just came across your blog today and I am glad I did!

    It was nice reading this and it is so great to find someone else who adores and appreciates Lauren Graham. I would not admit this to just anyone, but I have the whole Gilmore Girls series on DVD. I lost count the times I’ve watched each season, however most of those were background company while I stay up all night on some days when I have a lot of work to do for school.

    Dessert disguised as breakfast foods are the best. I also refuse to pay for cable, only because I’m a fan of movies more than tv shows. Plus we have Hulu.com :]

    Anyway, I’ll definitely subscribe and I apologize for the long comment. Just wanted to leave a quick note. Take care!

    Thanks for the sweet comments!
    Karen: I am so glad that I am not alone in my Gilmore Girls Love.

    Sandy: Perhaps texting is the way to go.

    Jenna: Your dream is probably a vision of the future. Mom hair should be outlawed.

    Leslie: We have to have another family vacation with our own beefy boys!
