Getting to Know You (pt. 2)

Hey, y'all! Today we're doing the to be continued from our previous Getting toKnow You post. I stole this idea from Lora... so now these are the last 18 questions to learn about how I think!

...Who would you want with you if you were stranded on a deserted island?

Well, I think I'm supposed to say my husband or kids, but I think I'd rather have Amanda with me. We'd be able to keep each other entertained without driving each other bonkers.

...If you could do anything you wanted right now, what would it be?

I would lock myself in the bathroom to take a bubble bath and finish the book I'm reading.

...If money was no object, what would you do all day?
sit in the sun and read. 

...Where do you most want to travel, but have never been?

France. I took French in high school, and I still remember most of it. I really want to go there to experience the culture. Not even to Paris necessarily. To the country side for sure

...What is your favorite memory?

Taking walks with my grandmother when I was a kid. Well, honestly anything with my grandma. She passed away last year, and I miss her a lot. She was a great teacher and a great friend.

...Who is your favorite author?

J.K Rowling because Harry Potter... duh!

...What is your favorite book?
Well, if you see the previous answer... the Harry Potter series is my favorite. Obviously. But I also really love The Chronicles of Narnia.

...What was your favorite activity in gym class?

Kickball! We used to play it every Friday. Way better than running laps.

...What has been your biggest challenge?

Raising children. Holy Hell... there is so much snot and poop and whining. Don't get me wrong, I do love my kids! It's just very challenging raising them.

...What is your biggest success up until now?

Same answer... raising my kids! It's difficult but very rewarding!

...What does your perfect day look like?
Waking up late, having nutritious meals, and not feeling any amount of stress at all during the day.

...University or life experience, which do you feel best prepares you for life?

I've never been to college so for me it's definitely life experiences.

...What is the one thing that should be taught in school that isn’t already?

How to balance a check book and manage money. I think too many kids leave school without knowing how to manage their money and get credit cards way too soon.

...If you were to create a piece of art, what would the subject be?

probably my kids. I know I say that a lot, but that's all I know.

...What one thing would you change if you had to do it over?

I'd probably go to school. Yes I think life experiences are better, but I know degrees get you pretty far as well.

...If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to?

That's a tough one. Probably 1994 so I could see my uncle one more time. I never got a chance to really get to know him.

...What does your life say about you?

That I don't spend enough time for myself. It's all work, taking care of kids, and taking care of my hubby.

...How would your friends describe you?They would most likely say I talk too much, I'm loud, outgoing, crazy, goofy, and a mess. 

So there you have it! The End for "Getting to know you" :) I hope y'all enjoyed your visit. 

Getting to Know You (pt. 1)

OK, y'all... I confess... I totally stole this idea from Lora at Heart of Life. Go check her out, you won't be sorry. 

And because of the title of today's post I give you Julie Andrews! 

This will be a two part series because I really don't want to do 45 questions all at once. 
Part one: "Would You Rather" Questions. 
...Watch, Star Wars, or Star Trek?without question: Star Wars. I enjoy both, but given a choice it would have to be Star Wars!
...Read on a Kindle or paperback book?I love paperback. I don't own a Kindle or anything like it, so maybe that's why I don't get it, but I prefer a
good old fashion book. Currently I'm reading the most recent book in the Blue Bloods series by Melissa
De La Cruz. 
...Go to a play or musical?I love musicals. Phantom of the Opera is my all time favorite. I love everything about singing and music.
...Go to the theater or a movie?I think this is referring to the theater as in a show or something like that. If that's the case I pick theater. I prefer watching movies from home because of the lovely little pause feature!
...Hike or bike?Hike. I despise the bike. I don't even touch the bike at the gym. I don't understand how freaks (read: people) can stay on the bikes for more than 10 minutes at a time. If you're one of those freaks, that I talk to on a regular basis I'm not sorry... you're a freak I don't understand how your ass doesn't hurt all the time!
...Wear jeans or chinos?Um jeans. I don't even know what a chinos is (are?) memo to self: google this later...
...Have a Margarita or Pina Colada?Margarita please! Nuff said. ;)

...Drink a glass of Guinness or Fat Tire?
yuck... can I pick neither? If I am drinking beer I want it to be Yuengling. 

...Crash with friends or stay in a hotel?Crash with friends. I'm cheap. 
...Visit Europe or Mexico?Europe. I live in the southern part of the US. Mexico is close enough to where I experience their culture daily. I want to experience something new. 
...Vacation in Hawaii or Alaska, and why?Hawaii please. And why? Um because I hate the cold. I'm a baby. I want warm, tropical with a beach. I hate the sand, but no where near as much as I hate the cold. 
...Go skiing or snowshoeing?who snowshoes anymore? seriously? Is that still a thing? I guess skiing, but I'd rather snowboard
...Travel by plane, train, or automobile?Planes. But given I have a family of four, two of which are small children automobile is usually the mode we take. Planes are so much faster though. 
...Enjoy a houseboat or speed boat?Houseboat. I like having luxuries from home on the boat. 
...Go climbing or zip lining?
zip lining. I guess if I have to choose 

...Go to a comedy club or dance club?comedy club. I'm a horrible dancer. I'd rather laugh at someone else than feel like someone is laughing at my dancing.
...Have a night out or evening in?Night out. As long as it's not to a club. I spend a lot of nights in. I need a date night!
...Watch TV or read a book?read a book. I usually have the TV on just for background noise when I'm doing something else (like now). I enjoy focusing idle time with a book
...Go canoeing or waterskiing?canoeing. I'm scared of waterskiis.
...Camp in an RV or stay in a tent?
omg. RV please! I've stayed in a tent so many times that it's scarred me for awhile. I don't mean to sound like a spoiled brat, but I'd rather not "rough it" for awhile. I just don't want the RV experience like from the movie. 

...Use Facebook or Twitter?Twitter. I use facebook because a lot of my family is on there and they don't tweet 

...Choose a free trip or money?

Free trip. I have a job for money, but because of bills and such I don't get free trips.  
...Win the lottery or find your perfect job?win the lottery. nuff said. ;)
...Swim in a pool or the ocean? Swim in a pool. I like the ocean and beaches, but since I'm not a fan of sand in my bathing suit I prefer swimming in pools.
...Travel by sailboat or cruise ship?sail boats for short distances. cruise ships for long distances.
...Watch sports or play sports?watch sports. I'm not very athletic. I used to be, but now I'm a couch potato.
...Play dodgeball or kickball?kickball because it's more like baseball. 

So there you have it, y'all. 27 questions about me. Part two will publish the next time I have a blank on post ideas.
