Sunday's Getting to Know YOU

Another long hiatus, I apologize. SO much has been going on! The hubs and I were up sick all night throwing up and fevered, and a pipe in the shower busted and dumbed  a couple gallons on water into our basement - NOT GOOD.

Anyway, I'm trying to ease my way back in with the fun and easy blog carnival, Sunday's Getting to Know You

*wanna play..copy the questions..answer them..then come back here and link up*

The Q's.

1. Do you think mustaches are sexy?

Not by themselves, no. But if it's paired with a goatee or other facial hair, possibly. I'm a sucker for 5 o'clock shadows.

2. What's the last concert you've been to?

Wow, I'm not sure I even remember, it's been awhile. It very well could have been Alicia Keys two summers ago.

3  What was your favorite 80's sitcom?

I would have to say Punky Brewster, or Who's the Boss

4. Were you named after anyone?

My middle name, Marie, is after my paternal grandmother.

5. When you buy new clothes, do you wash before wearing?

No, I usually wear them ASAP

6. If you didn't blog, what would you do with your spare time?

Well, I haven't been blogging much lately, so most of my spare time has involved sleeping. And picking up extra hours at work.

7. What is your favorite department store?

I would have to say Target - LOVE Target!

8. If  you were to get Laser Hair Removal..where would you get it?

If I never had to shave my legs again, I think I'd be okay with that! =]

Sunday's Getting to Know You

Before we get started, just a reminder that TODAY is the last day to enter my first EVER giveaway... check it out!!!

Secondly, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all the dad's out there, and especially to the love of my life, who also happens to be the best daddy ever! Love you baby!

Okay, onto business....

The questions..

1. While at the beach, pool, etc..Do you cover up your assets or show them off?

Cover them up as classily as possible. I don't prefer two pieces on anyone really. Maybe it's modesty, but maybe that's because I've never had the body to wear one. Either way, can't do much about my cleavage, since I have a lot, but I tend to wear flattering one pieces. The suit I have now is darling, and was a gift from my hubs for losing weight.

2. Road trips or Plane trips?

Planes. I love flying

3. I can't stand it when...?

Women don't wear bras. One of my BIGGEST pet peeves. Ever. I mean, come on. Let's be serious for a moment: I cannot think of any instance, for any woman, of any size to not need to wear a bra! These days you can find bras to fit any shaped dress/shirt/blouse, so please ladies, put one on! I'd rather not see how cold you are, thankyouverymuch!

4. Have you ever gone topless at the beach?

Never ever ever.

5. How many blog carnivals do you do a week?

Since I don't know what that is, I'll say none.

6. My favorite thing about the weekend is...?

Sundays. I love Sundays. And getting to spend time with my beautiful little family.

7. Pancakes or waffles?

Pancakes

8. Water Park or Amusement Park?

That's a tough one. Depends on the weather, I guess. I would rather go to a park that has both!

Sunday's Getting to Know You

Ahhh...my favorite. Talking about myself and sharing random bits of information to strangers who probably couldn't care less! LOL Just kidding, this is fun. And I always love reading your answers too!

The questions..

1. If a person has a booger in their nose. and you can see it, do you tell them?
Depends on the person. If it's someone I know well, I will probably tell them. I would want them to tell me!

2. What are you passionate about?
Singing, being a mom, and I never thought I'd say this....but staying fit. Exercise has become a drug for me, and I love that it makes me feel great!

3. How long have you been blogging?
On this blog, about a year and a half. But I've been blogging long before, in different forums (i.e. Myspace, Xanga)

4. What is your favorite "summer" drink?
Love me some sweet tea. And of course, the perfect summer drink: The SLURPEE. =]

5. What is your favorite type of music?
I used to answer with Top 40, but I'm getting old and kids these days! Oi! I like a little bit of pop, little bit of country, R&B, Gospel, Oldies, basically.....anything I can sing along to, I like.

6. Something I do before I go to bed is......?
Set the alarm, then check on my babies and make sure they're comfy and covered. Love watching them sleep, so precious!


7. My Summer vacation plans are...?
My summer vacation will make up of paid-for gigs to travel and lead worship, cause we afford much else. I DO plan on enjoying the pool at the gym and trying the water park in our area this summer, though. I also just love chillin' in my back yard catchin' rays while my kids play on the slip N slide and sprinkler.

8. My favorite must have, can't live without, beauty product is?
I'm not one to stick with one beauty product normally, I like to try new things. I can't live without mascara, and I usually stick with Great Lash Mascara by Maybelline. I also love Oil of Olay Beauty Fluid lotion!


What about you?!?

Sunday's Getting to Know You

I'd first like to apologize for all the blog slacking that has been happening. I can't find enough time in my day. But for all of those who love all the random bits of information I always seem to be sharing, then read on for Sunday's Getting to Know You

The questions..

1. The most expensive thing hanging in my closet is.....?

I can honestly say that nothing in my closet would classify as 'expensive'....I rarely pay full price for anything. I have an old banquet dress that my mom bought me for a few hundred dollars, that might be the most expensive thing in there. 

2. Have you ever played a team sport?
I played basketball in middle school. I would have continued through high school but I missed try-outs to take drivers ed. I was also a cheerleader in middle school.

3. If you were a bug, what kind would you be?
Is there a bug that is NOT ugly and NOT a nuisance? Yeah, I'd be that one!

4. Where on your body is the worst place to get sunburned? (thanks Ian)
Honestly? Chest. NOT FUN. I mean, uh....I've heard.

5. Are you happy?
I'm getting there. Not because my life is getting better (or that it's not great already) but because my definition of happy is changing, and that's a great feeling.

6. People are always abbreviating..are there any abbreviations that make your skin crawl when people use them?
I hate when people abbreviate 'probably' to 'prolly'  - what is that?!? Two letters is not going to change your life, people!

7. Do you love where you live..or could you live anywhere?
I am one of those people that could probably live anywhere if the right people were around me, but I can honestly say I DO NOT love where I live right now. Just our house and neighborhood. I love Rochester, Michigan - which is where my actual life takes place (church, work, gym, pretty much everything else I do) but I don't really like living in Pontiac. Lesson learned about buying my first home.

8. What, if any, extreme measures do you go to to keep yourself from overeating when you're full?

I have a few tricks that are new for me: 1. I always drink lots of water while waiting for my meal. It makes me feel fuller and I tend to eat less. 2. If I know that I've eaten enough but still feel hungry, I'll get up and do something else for a few minutes. Within 5-10 minutes, after the food settles, I usually don't feel as hungry. 3. Ask for a TO-GO box BEFORE you dig in....and put half of it away for later. 4. Remind myself how good it feels to be losing weight - it's amazing how that motivates me to stop eating when I should! =]
