Since I didn't get Friday's post up in time,
I'm just adding them both right now. :)

1. How often do you shave your legs in the winter?

As horrible as it sounds, about once a week. Thankfully my leg hair actually slows down in the winter, so I'm only just starting to get prickly by the end of the week.

2. Valentine's Day cards for your spouse: funny or romantic?

 Hubbly & i actually don't get Valentines cards or gifts for each other. (Unless it's candy, & sometimes he will get flowers...but that's it) 

What we do, is go to the Walgreen's for a little bit, walk around & show each other the cards and gifts we WOULD get each other. 

Saves a ton of $$ annnd, it's actually a lot of fun, since mostly we stay in the humor section. :D

3. What are you most looking forward to about spring?

 Warmer weather more often... & PuddleJumpin.. it's my FAV!!

4. What's your favorite way to pamper yourself?

Getting my eyebrows waxed, getting my hair done, & getting a massage... aaaaaaaaaahh.. :)

5. Does your tax return go into savings or do you spend it instantly?

 Since most of the time it takes about a week & a half to get them back, our tax return is pretty much already planned out to where its all going to before it arrives. Anything left, gets spent... quickly. :)

1. Do you enjoy going to a casino now and again?
 Ahaha.. I really never go, I JUST went last night, for the first time in 3 years!

2. What makes you happy most of the time?
My Hubbly. (& Music)

3. Are you jealous of someone right now?
 No, not specifically I don't think so. I don't really understand the process of jealousy. I mean I guess I could say i am jealous of every pregnant woman I see, That's fairly true.

4. You're stranded on a desert island with one fictional character.
Who is it? Why?
It has to be fictional? Crap I unno... off the top of my head...Damon, from Vampire Diaries. #1- He's Hot. #2 - He can turn me so I will survive. #3 - He's HOT. #4 - He's hilarious, & I love to laugh. #5 - HE'S HOT!! Duuuh. 

5. Have you ever been in the emergency room?

Last time I was in the emergency room, it was because I had had a panic attack while driving and it wouldn't stop, so I had to be sedated.
(I'm seriously prone to them)

6. Where is the last place you drove to just for fun?
Ryan & I love to just cruise. Nowhere specific.. just driving, talking,singly, relaxing... it's the perfect getaway.

7. If you were to make your living as a photographer,
what would love to shoot?
BABIES! Babies & Preggos & Wedding/Engagements. But mostly BABIES!!
