Manic Monday

I love this site, for all she has is questions to answer on Monday's! I don't always keep up, but they are fun when I do. Enjoy my random thoughts provoked by Manic Monday's site...

What was your best day of the week last week and why?

I don't know if I had a best day, but I had some best moments? Like when P!nk preformed at the Grammy's and then recieved a standing ovation! I was SO proud of her for getting all those famous people wet, and dazzling them with her amazing talent at the same time! Go P!nk!

I also enjoyed my Diva Night out with my friends as always. We made projects, visited, and talked Stampin' Up! business.

I enjoyed when we went with my IL's to this fun resturant all train themed, and our food came on a train to our seats!

What's the longest you've ever gone without sleep?

Probably the day I gave birth to Bagel, I was restless of coarse the night before, but we were due to be induced the next morning, I was to check in at 6 am, so that ment be up at 4:45 to get ready and drive to the hospital. I didn't sleep the whole day, and we started pushing around 11 pm, it wasn't until 1:23 am she was born, and I had SO many stiches from tearing (yes it was as horrible as it sounds, and more information for you, the epidural wore off so I felt ALL the 23 minutes of my doctor sewing up between the front and back door down their.) I was told I needed to start feeding her right away (seriously kid?!? Right now!) I do think after all that, and spending a bit of time with her, eating breakfast, calling everyone (yes at wee hours I called. It was the least they could do, was listen to me babble after what I just went through) I asked the nurses to take her to the nursery, and Spaghetti and I passed out around 7 am.

So short answer? 26 hours 15 minutes...

Is how old you look and/or how old you feel right now different from your actual age?



Yes and no. I am 31. I physically feel 31. Too me I am older, out of shape and in need of a care program for myself that includes a better diet, some sort of exercise, and I seriously need to start taking better care of my skin (wash off make up before bed, and use more lotion. I do use sun screen since I am whiter then copy paper)

Mentally to me age is just a number. Sure I'm more mature, I don't feel the need to go out drinking, or dancing ever. I do want the luxury of just hangning out with friends more, but that will wait till the tots are bigger.

I still act silly, run and ride on the back of my grocery cart, with the kids or with out. If I hear music I will just dance, with someone or by myself. I live my live to the motto "Life's too short to be taken seriously. No one get's out alive anyway"



If you could only have one section of the bookstore to visit, which section would it be?

This is a hard one because I am a bookstore whore. I would have to say the magazine section. Sad I know those aren't books, BUT in the store I frequent, the magazines are right by the new releases, so my Dean Koontz, books would be near by, I have all his older ones, so the newer one would be within reach.

Hmmm but then the art/craft books need to be near me too, I love the magazines for the art and craft magazines, so I guess that section could be left out, because I can get all the upcoming ideas with the magazines. I just also need to be within' reach of the Starbucks inside the store...

If you could only subscribe to one publication for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Creating Keepsakes, or Scrapbooks ect. I love them both, well lScrapbooks ect. is by Better Homes & Gardens, so would I get to take advantage of that magazine too? they are good. But I am falling for Creating Keepsakes... and the new one, a bit to pricey for me to subscribe to, at $15 an issue, is Where Woman Create, a look inside different artsy crafty woments art rooms!



What activity always makes you lose track of time?

Blogging. I can lose HOURS blogging, reading, commenting... Growing up, what was your favorite sitcom?


Rosanne. We loved Full House too. But hands down, we were alot like Rosanne, in the fact that my mom was a silly smart ass like Rosanne (still is!) I was a prissy brat like Becky.


What's your idea of a romantic date?

Spaghetti and I in Chicago, no kids, staying at the Hard Rock Hotel on Michigan Ave, drinks in the lobby while famous musicians walk with their entorages near by. Then dinner at a nice resturant. And then off to our room for some quality one on one time. I remember this weekend. It was July 2008, for my 30th birthday. That all happened... sigh... someday...

What are you most afraid to lose?

My family. I know losing our parents will be devistating to both of us, I can only hope it's not for a long time. I have a feeling my sister will out live me, I just feel it. Spaghetti jokes about dying at 70, I plan on living till I'm 106, so I am NOT living 36 years with out him! No way! I hope to live a long happy I also can NOT bear the thought of losing one of my children. I do think that will be the two people that would just cripple me.What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself?


My ability to not sing. I wish I could. I was cast in all 4 musicals in High School, but as the chior section, the only solo I got was for a dancing banana. I didn't not sing. I danced while my friend sang. I would love to be able to sing nice.


Do you believe everything happens for a reason?


Yes. Even the horrible things that happen, the loss of loved ones too. To maybe teach us to value life more? My sister's disorder is the hardest to understand. Maybe we wouldn't be this close, maybe we would be closer. But yes I think it's all for a reason.


What would be your dream job?

To have a store with my mom. We would sell handmade arts and crafts, and even had a room to teach others in. I have dreamed of this place SO many times. I want it to be ecletic, and random, but clean and orderly, to inspire, and be a place of happiness. If it's a old house I dream of a yard where we can have a play area for kids while mom shops. Or if it's in a town, I dream of a courtyard with small garden area to plant in. I wish for this place sooner then later...
