A what about me sorta post

When you read this, if you want to do the same thing on YOUR blog, go right ahead :) People love to know more about you...atleast thats what I hear.


What experience has shaped you most and why?
I cant say that one experience, in particular, has shaped me the most. I think it has been cumulative. Things that stand out to me are 1)choosing to get married at a young age 2)choosing to move across the country, 1500 miles from friends and family 3)choosing to thrive. I taught myself how to sell, how to bargain, how to budget, how to earn income, how to stretch a paycheck, how to make new friends, and how to fit in. And, in typing this, I realize that probably the one experience that has shaped me the most was moving to colorado. All of things that I am proud of in myself, or things that I am proud of John for, would probably have remained unrealized had we not moved. Mostly, this caused John & I to grow up. You certainly learn how to become entertaining to your spouse when there isnt another familiar face for 1500 miles. We also learned every shelf in Walmart. And shopped in the middle of the night, but thats another story :)


If you had a whole day with no commitments, what would you do?
I would probably sleep. I dont do well with no commitments and I need atleast SOMETHING to get me stimulated and moving from day to day. My animals serve that purpose most of the time.


What food or drink could you never give up?
Mexican Food and Diet Sunkist - believe it or not, I actually prefer the diet. Its tastier, in my opinion. And Mexican food is my soul.


If you could travel anywhere, where would it be and why?
That changes with my mood. I would love to see Ireland. I dont know why - except there are bound to be hot red headed men. I want to see Hawaii. But I dont really enjoy the beach all that much, so again, im not sure why? The place that I am most often drawn too would have to be the Everglades. I have good childhood memories of the everglades, and as an adult, I have enjoyed my times there. Does that make me lame? Nope, it makes me afraid of planes. LOL


Who do you have a crush on?
Nobody. I am married. LOL Just kidding. I admire men, in general. That should keep you stepping, eh John?


If you were leader of your country, what would you do?
Shut down the borders, create an application for entry and make birth control mandatory for people on welfare.

Give me one savory recipe that doesn’t include cheese.
Cream chicken. Chicken breast with sour cream/cream of chicken soup mixture. Delicious. I'll make it for you sometime, just give me warning before you show up :)


What did you think you were going to be when you grew up?
As a child, I wanted to be a veterinarian. Then, I met a few veterinarians, and learned about being a veterinary technician. Realizing that Im not that interested in 100 years of school, obligations after hours, losing sleep for fear of your decision being the wrong one, I took the easy way out. I became a veterinary technician, and Im damn good at my job. I enjoy it, im passionate, and Ive been doing it for 10 years now. My brain is still as stimulated, and I definitely still see new things on a daily basis.

If you could spend just one day in someone else’s body, who would it be?
Someone thin.


Which woman writer, living or dead, do you admire most?
I dont remember writers names.

What character trait inspires you the most?
I enjoy funny people. Someone who can make me laugh and who can take a joke is key. Its something that I admire in my husband alot, but its easy to lose sight of that when life gets in the way. 9 years later, he still cracks me up, and its nice to know that he can provide me with a genuine laugh.

What is your favorite kind of music?
Country, hands down. I was recently scolded for not knowing who Def Leppard was (is that even SPELLED correctly?). I knew the name but couldnt list a single song. Ooops. But I know who Waylon Jennings is. Does that count?

I think I’m supposed to make up my own question for the end, but I just don’t have the brain power to do that. Feel free to consider yourself tagged though. If you are as desperate for blogging material as I am, this will make your day. It did mine.

What is one fact about you that most people who know you wouldn’t guess?
I spent alot of time being depressed. Sad, lonely, asleep. When im down, nothing is more entertaining than a nap. But, I laugh alot and cover that up.


If money were no object, what's one thing you don't own now or can't afford to do that you'd like to have or do?
If I could own anything, Id say land. I would buy gobs and gobs of land. Literally, gobs. I would make myself the most gorgeous house, with wrap around porch, a swimming pool, and gobs of land. Get it? Gobs.

According to the blog I stole this from, Im supposed to create my own question. I am drawing a blank, so I'll put this to you. What is one question you might want to ask me? Go ahead and ask :)
