Thanks to Mallory, she gave me a Sunshine Blogger Award! :)

She said in her blog post that my blog was an inspiration to her, which made me smile! :) I hardly see myself as an inspiration, but I'm glad that I've been an inspiration to you Mallory! Thank you so much!  You made my day. :)

5. Thank the brilliant soul that recognized your talent and bestowed this wonderful award on you...and of course link back to them as well.  

Question Time!!

1. What would you most like to change about yourself?  I'd like to be able to get out of my brain a little bit, and be more daring.  I am much better than I used to be. I used to be so shy and reserved that I didn't do anything out of my comfort zone.  While I am getting better, I wish that I could stop being so nervous about things, and do things out of my comfort zone....such as go to the Zumba class that I've been wanting to go to!

2. What is your theme song?  Oh geeeez...I'm not sure.  I think right now it would just be "The Fighter" by Gym Class Heroes. It has been inspiring me to continue to fight for what I want, and to meet my goals.

3. One part of your life, a memory, action, etc., that you wish you could surgically remove from your brain.  It's actually two separate memories, but when my grandparents passed away.  My grandma died first, and then my grandpa a few years later, and each time was such a hard time for my entire family, it was hard to watch everyone in so much pain.

4.  What generation do you wish you had been a part of? The 1940's and 1950's.  Mostly because I have a crazy love for Frank Sinatra, and would have loved to be around during that time period.  Everything seems so classy, unlike now, where it's hard to find class in this generation.

5.  What was your favorite Childhood Toy?   All of my stuffed animals/dolls/etc.  I loved to play house with them.  One of my favorite pictures of me is me taking a nap, with all of my favorite dolls all lined up on a body pillow, and me sleeping, hardly on the pillow because I wanted to make sure there was enough room for my dolls.

6.  What is your favorite housecleaning chore?    Vacuuming, or Dusting.  I have this weird love of doing things where you see a result.  So dusting is fun, especially when it's really dusty, because you can see an immediate difference, where mopping, you really can't tell.  And I love to vacuum just because I like to see that all the crap that was in my carpet, is no longer there.

7.  Do you twitter?  Do I have a twitter? yes.  Do I use it? not really.  I will send a tweet from time to time, but I don't do much other than read others tweets.  And mostly, I follow famous people.  My twitter news feed is generally filled up with Kardashian tweets.

8.  Any goals? To be able to complete the 2013 Disney's Princess Half Marathon.

9.  Do you drink margaritas all the time?  No.  I don't like tequila.  I always think I do, until I have some, and then I remember that it's absolutely terrible.

10.  What's the ugliest car you've ever driven and were embarrassed to be seen in? Well, I've only had two cars in my life, and I loved them both.  My husband, on the other hand, has a had a lot of cars, and when we first started dating, he was driving a Tiffany Blue Chevy Aveo.  It was terrible.
