Oh no.. this is always hard...

4.  What is something that people other than your close friends and family (those who know you best) would be surprised to know about you?

This one is a little difficult.

I love to work on cars.

I'm terrified of balloons.

I've never been on vacation any further than California.

 I'm terrified of heights.

I love pigs & penguins.

I am very very OCD.

I'm highly afraid of most birds.

I love to listen to old school rock:

Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, AC/DC, Metalica

I also enjoy old country:

Reba, Brooks and Dunn, The Judds, Garth Brooks

I'm not fond of most meats or fresh veggies.

Last but not least, I can seem not very nice, (when I really am)

that I don't like people, (that tends to be true)

& I have a HORRIBLE swearing problem.

(It just dosn't show online, cause I have to THINK before I type.) 

:D

What about you???

I wanna be dinosaur...

It's my FAVORITE time of the week!

It's time for:

For those of you who are new:

Just like cartoons early Saturday morning ...
When you would get up early on PURPOSE to wrap yourself in a blankie, big bowl of cereal in your lap and watch silly shows till you couldn't laugh anymore??

Everyone likes to laugh. I haven't met many people who don't. We all love to laugh, or smile, giggle to ourselves, or laugh out loud so randomly that the people around us wonder if they need to call for help...

(That last one is my FAVORITE pass-time)

Well I know that I do. I also know I LOVE to make others laugh, therefor..  

"Silly Saturdays!"

Sit back, drink some coffee, chow some cereal, and remember what its like to just laugh.

...like there is nothing else that matters in the world...

Share them with your friends. Keep them to yourself. You can even join in and share what YOU'VE got!

All I ask, is that you smile, relax, and Laugh!

Don't forget to leave you thoughts, questions, requests and <3 in the comments below!!

Dear Katy Perry and Nikki Minaj,

That moment when you both try to outdo Gaga's outfits and Gaga casually strolls in as a man...

OHHH. MY. GAAWWD.

This new sleep schedule is whooping my butt.


I've been shutting down all tech by midnight & getting myself to bed waaaaaaay before normal time to try to prepare for my new work shifts. I really didn't realize how much work I get done in late night hours!
Everyday seems to be shorter than the next... I get up, do housework, run errands, drive people where they need to go... and before I know it it's bed time again! Is this how normal people run there day? No time for what they need to do??
Don't even mention wanting to do something, or anything resembling "me time."
There is none of that here.

 I'm trying my hardest to get caught up on my housekeeping and errands
but with me being the only one cleaning without being asked directly..

(and even then, there are fifty million reasons why others shouldn't have to help)

and trying to keep up with everyone else's mess ontop of my own,
it seems like an endless circle.

 ...sweeping, mopping, dishes, laundry, cat boxes, dog dishes...

I don't know what I'm going to do once I start working.

Unicorns??

3. Where do you think unicorns get their magic powers from?

Kay, I have a secret.
Well... Not really.

I have to admit, I'm not really  that funny.
I know this, & I don't try to be funny, I have Ryan for that...
I'm constantly reminded by my family that I have no humor.  Because of this reality, all I can think of when I hear "unicorns" is either Harry Potter, Lisa Frank,
or Brittany from Glee.

2. What alcoholic beverage best describes you?

I feel like I've been here before...

Or maybe I just really like to #WineParty it up...

Malibu Style!!!

according to Quibblo I'm a:

You're young, fun, good-looking, and tasty. You like to stir things up. You're a Mixed Drink! And with all those ingredients, and funky names, you're probably also on the high-maintenance side as well. But you deserve the attention.

& according to Blogthings it's made with:

You're the life of the party, and a total flirt
You are also pretty picky about what you drink
Only the finest labels and best mixed cocktails will do
Except if you're dieting - then it's Diet Coke and Bacardi all the way

Put that together, & apparently that becomes a:

Mai Tai!

You aren't a big drinker, but you'll drink if the atmosphere is festive.
You're much more likely to drink outside the house than inside the house.

You don't drink that often, so you sometimes forget your limits.
And when you're drunk, watch out! You're easily carried away.

What about you??
