Manic Monday

 

What are the values you cherish even though they may run counter to societal values?

Long live Reality T.V. not kidding. I love it. I love all the MTV shows, all the VH1 crap, the Bad Girls, the Kardashians, Kate plus 8, you name it. I seriously value it as good t.v.

Whatever you want to say is your opinion, and this is mine. Don’t get me started on Jersey Shore, it’s crap but I can’t miss a minute of it.

Mondays make me___________.

Happy. It’s Spaghetti’s Saturday, so around our house we enjoy Mondays. Sorry people, your Saturday is only Thursday around this house.

If you were to publish a book about yourself, what would you title it?

“Unconventional Me.”

Fill in the blank: If I had a nickel for every time I...

Took a picture. Yeah… I’d be rich… I think our last vacation would be worth… let’s see… 318 pictures x .05 cents = 15.90! Hey it would have covered my last print out of photos!

What do you think about while you exercise?

Haha… hahaha… haaaaahaaaaha… really? Exercise? Bwahaahaahaa…

What are 5 things you love about your spouse/partner/significant other (or children or pet)?

Well since you asked I will do them all… this may be long… but a good exercise for me (this is the most exercise I will do today)

Spaghetti

1. His smile

2. His patience

3. He is SUCH a hard worker

4. His sense of humor

5. He’s mine.

Bagel

1. He laughter

2. Her imagination

3. Her thoughts

4. The way she sleeps

5. Her new found sense of style

Weaky

1. That he adds more and more words to his vocabulary every day

2. The way he runs

3. When he runs for “momma” every time.

4. His kisses

5. His love for my dad. His Papa Carrots

Maggie May (our boxer)

1. Her wiggles (at 7 she’s still got puppy wiggles!)

2. Her empathy is astounding. I cry she’s there. No questions asked. (example while writing this post I got up to get coffee, and stepped on something sharp which stuck in my foot. She saw that I sat on the floor, and came over to check out my foot and give me kisses. My mag pie)

3. Her love for Spaghetti

4. Her sounding bark/howl when someone is here.

5. Her back scratches in the grass. You know when they lay on their backs all 4 legs in the air, and shift back and forth.

Sophie

1. Her love for me. That’s my puppy.

2. Her wiggles. Hands down the wiggliest dog ever.

3. Her love for the sun. Open door, she goes for the sun. Like a solar panel.

4. She is A.MAZ.ING with the kids. Especially when Weaky tries to ride her like a Shetland pony.

5. When she comes over, gives you a kiss, then just walks away. Wiggling.

Jordan and Chloe

(not that I don’t love both my cats dearly, but they are simple and I’m getting tired of this exercise… sheesh even this exercise exhausts me!)

1. Easy, their curiosity. Hello. Cats?

2. Chloe’s love for all things with the dryer. Inside right after I dry, and during the dryer she lays on top.

3. Jordan’s love for foreheads. Sit at the art table and tip your head down. She sniffs and chews at your hair. Too weird.

4. Chloe’s LOVE for being brushed, it’s tedious but it’s good for her, and it’s good for me to slow down a bit.

5. Jordan’s 1 foot rule. No matter where she lays in the art room, she puts one paw forward. Or hangs it over the edge of the table or tower.

What are 5 things you want to do in your life?

1. Live

2. Go on a Caribbean or Cancun vacation with Spaghetti again.

3. Continue to share my love for art. Be it teaching classes, or having my store one day.

4. See both my children grow up and have children of their own.

5. Visit another country. Options are Ireland, Italy or Australia.

What are you saying goodbye to?

Stampin’ Up!

Sigh. I’m pretty sure I’m not making quota this month. And I’m not going to go in debt trying. And I’m not going to hound my customers to make it either.

SU! has made my life amazing. I’ve made friends, and met wonderful people. I’ve traveled to Utah, Wisconsin and Michigan, and made some great things. But over all 6 years later, it seems to consume me, with little or no income.

Right now I need to say goodbye, and enjoy my hobby of scrapbooking and creating with out the HAVE to of meeting quota’s and the HAVE to create for a class, EVERY two weeks.

NO. I want my freedom to create with what ever and when ever I want. Goodbye Stampin’ Up!. I love you. I thank you.

What are you currently fascinated with?

Haha. To truly know Feisty, you have to know that I am fascinated with SO many things at once.

Right now I am fascinated with getting the house organized. With Bagel starting school, and Wrigley season for Spaghetti coming to an end he will be home more. So this is my time to get things together.

I am fascinated with scrapbooking. I was into going monthly to the local scrapbook store to crop. And I still do. But that one day a month isn’t keeping me at a pace that is keeping up with all the pictures I want to scrapbook! So I try to do a few a week. I just did 5 over the weekend and a digital scrapbook of our trip to Michigan.

I am fascinated with family time. More and more Spaghetti and I are realizing how important ALL our family is. Well that and the fact that our loss of family members in the last 5 years is a bit of a wake up.

I am fascinated with Facebook. Don’t lie to yourself, so are you. Think about it. A few years ago I mocked FB and it’s bland boring ways. Now I can’t go more then 12 hours with out my brain being crammed of witty posts.  I love the fact that SO many people who have made my life better are just a mouse click away.

Alright enough of my random thoughts. Thanks to Manic Monday for the great topics. These are about a months worth of Manic Mondays. I really need to do these on Mondays… and more often. They are good for me.
