Answer these as best you can:

QUESTIONS–

1. Would you consider yourself a healthy eater?
2. What is your favorite ‘summer’ food?
3. Do you have any hidden talents?
4. What would be your dream job?
5. What is your favorite summer activity?
ANSWERS–
1. For the most part, I eat better than a lot of people, I would say. I don’t eat fast food, don’t drink soda, and I really have only been eating sweets (a lot) since this pregnancy. I’m not some super health food nut but I don’t eat garbage.food
2. Summer always makes me think of light foods like fruit, etc. I really like corn on the cob at barbecues and margaritas. Lol, I guess that didn’t really answer the question.bbq food

3. Hidden talents? Rough one! I can curl my tongue and I know a TON of song lyrics. But I honestly can’t think of anything. :(

4. LOL, I don’t have one. I would like to be a publisher or editor – maybe for romance novels. I always say I want to stay home and write but  I know I would miss going to work every day.

5. I would say my favorite summer activity would be taking vacations to not-very-far destinations, as I am doing right now. However, my kids are irritating and I am not getting much done in terms of my online grading. UGH!

WWTK – Get crackin’!

Answer these as best you can:

QUESTIONS–

1.) What motivates you?

2.) Would you consider yourself highly productive or somewhat lazy?3.) What is your last “big” accomplishment?

4.) What would you like to accomplish but haven’t?

5.) What would make it possible to accomplish one of your all-time goals?

ANSWERS–

1.) I suppose this depends on what the goal is but for the most part, I am motivated by my desire to better myself as an individual, a mom, and a wife. Accomplishing things on my mental to-do list also gets me going.

2.) I’m a “must accomplish a certain amount before rest” type person. So though I might seem lazy – or slow to start some days – I would definitely consider myself highly productive each day. I can’t really lay around much without feeling guilty.

3.) Oof, tough question. BIG is such a relative term. I suppose one of the last big things I did was getting these two extra online jobs so that we can afford to live the life we do. On a smaller scale, I have done a lot of pregnancy related nesting in the house and really thrown out a lot of junk. I love cleaning out and purging unnecessary things. I used to hold onto a lot of mementos but I have gotten very good about hardening my heart and tossing stuff I don’t need to keep.

4.) Well, as cliche as it sounds, I’d certainly like to finish this damn novel. I have been working on it for so long and, after all, I have a creative writing degree. Jobs, kids, and life pretty much get in my way. I still feel compelled to write but I’m too tired at night to do it. My brain hurts.

5.) One of my all-time life goals is to someday own a sandwich/ice cream/comic book shop. LOL. I mean, we’d specialize in sandwiches, also sell ice cream, and have an old-fashioned look and sell comics. Of course, print comics are on their way out so who knows if this will ever happen. The thing that would facilitate this would be Ash and I learning how to run a business, getting older and having an empty nest, and then committing to a location. Also, we would have to have a lot of savings in the bank, just in case it’s a total flop.

WWTK – Sorry no linky on my site this week

3. Link-up and spread the word

4. Don’t forget to have fun!

Answer these as best you can:

QUESTIONS–

{no. 1} If we met up for coffee what would we talk about?
{no. 2} What is one great thing that has happened to you this month?
{no. 3} Where is the last place you went? 
{no. 4} If you could meet up with one or two bloggers who would they be?
{no. 5} What are your pet peeves?

1. Most likely, I would tell you about how I am 30 weeks pregnant and I was WORN yesterday. It was a really low day. I could barely stay awake! But I also feel much better today.

2. Well, having those unexpected memorial Day plans was pretty damn awesome. I was feeling a little friendless when everyone talked about their plans but magically, that solved itself!

3. The last place I went? You mean, not work, a school, or the doctor? Well, as stated, we went to St. George Island. It’s such a wonderful  getaway for being only one hour 40 mins away.

4. I would most definitely want to meet Sundry or Cactus. They both seem so down to earth. And have been blogging a long time.

5. I have so many! Here are a few: people who toss lit cigarettes wherever they feel like, People with more than 10 things in the express check out, Not using turn signals, and obnoxious sports fans.
There you have it. I don’t have the link code this week, sadly, so that’s what it is. See you next week!

WWTK – Get away from it all

4. Don’t forget to have fun!

Answer these as best you can:

QUESTIONS–

1.) How connected are you to your phone? Do you always have it on you?

2.) Would you be able to be away from your computer for an entire week?

3.) If you had to get rid of one of the following, which would it be and why? Cell phone, computer, or TV?

4.) Do you think you could ever live “off the grid”?

5.) Tell us about a time you disconnected from technology/the world and how you dealt with it. Was it good or bad?

ANSWERS–

1.) Yes, I am pretty connected to it, however, I am not afraid to let it ring and go to voicemail. I got my first cell phone in 1998 and phased out a landline in 2001 so I am pretty used to it being my only mode of communication. The new smart phones are pretty much tiny computers so the fact that it does everything sort of forces me to have it with me all the time.

2.) If it weren’t for ongoing online teaching, I would totally give up the comp for a week. I don’t think I’d miss anything.

3.) I’m going to say cell phone, believe it or not. I still like having TV. perhaps it’s a generational thing because I asked my freshman this same question and their answers was unanimously TV.

4.) I watched this documentary about a small island off the coast near Vancouver and about 80 people live off the grid in homes they constructed. They barter. Their entire system revolves around self-reliance… and solar panels. Sure, a few leave for a day here and there and go buy things but for the most part, they’re totally on their own. I think I would get used to it. I’d need to have that one last straw that pushed me to abandon life as I know it and go that direction. I would probably end up really liking the freedom though.

5.) Whenever Ash and I take our weekend beach vacations, I don’t bring my laptop and I try not to call anyone (I have my phone in case something goes wrong with the kids). I’m totally happy fr a few days away from all that we’re tethered to.



WWTK – Schoolhouse Rocks!

2. Include the super cute button in your post (grab the code above)

3. Link-up and spread the word

4. Don’t forget to have fun!

QUESTIONS–

1.) How were you as a student?

2.) What was your favorite subject and did you excel in it?

3.) What – if any – is your fondest school years memory?

4.) Did you attend college and if so, how was that experience?

5.) Would you go back to school – be it in person or online – if you could? (Or to earn another degree?)

ANSWERS–

1.)  Growing up, I was a very driven student. Though my parents didn’t push me to succeed, I looked at school as my job and tried to do my very best at all times. This resulting in lots of all A report cards, winning poster contests, etc. As I got closer to college, I admit that I slacked off because I wasn’t being challenged. School was pretty easy for me up until the dreaded college algebra.

2.) I always loved English (of course) and yes, I did well. Though to be honest, I liked pretty much all subjects until high school math. In high school, I really loved my science classes but knew I’d never pursue a science as a career.

3.) For some reason, whenever I think of school, the first thing that pops into my head are the years from 3rd to 5th grade. I went to a private school until then and after, Orange Brook Elementary in Hollywood. It was only a few blocks from my house and I walked. I loved my teachers, friends, getting good grades, being a hallway monitor, and winning spelling bees. The playground was awesome, they had huge open fields where I ran and oftentimes beat even the fastest boys.

4.) Ahh yes, for me, college was a given. I moved just far enough away (four hours) to be separated from my parents but not so far I couldn’t easily drive home for the weekend. College was fun and stressful. I changed majors halfway and took five years to complete undergrad. But I learned a lot and not just in actual classes. College is such a huge life experience. I don’t regret going at all. Neither do I regret grad school.

5.) I think that someday, I may return for my PhD but it probably won’t be in writing. I guess it depends on whether or not I think it might help me gain a better job… or not.

Sorry I’m late today; had to take my gestational diabetes test and you know, they give you a 6 ounce drink that has the sugar equivalent of three Cokes and then make you sit an hour before drawing blood. Fun!

–QUESTIONS–

Answer these as best you can;

1. If you could be great at any sport, which would it be?
2. How do you like your coffee, or what is your go to for ordering from a coffee stand?
3. What is your favorite TV show, and why?
4. If you could get, or give, one thing for Mother’s Day what would it be?
5. Do you have any special plans for Mother’s Day?
ANSWERS–
1. I would like to win a race one day. I’d like to be better at running; faster. To do that, I’m going to have to get tougher! (I’m in the gray, center)

2.I almost always get a latte but I do enjoy regular coffee. I have a Keurig and alternate between Caribou Breakfast Blend and Newman’s Own dark roast. I put about 1/4 cup of skim milk and one scoop of sugar in it.

how-to-work-a-keurig3. Hmm, favorite TV show. I go through phases of TV but I always watch Bones, even when it’s not that good. I love the characters and the storylines and how it has built itself up over the years. Oh, and David Boareanaz.

4. I am getting one of the things I wanted most: a string trimmer. Last year I got one of those Scott’s special fertilizer spreaders. We’ve started a trend of lawn equipment for Mother’s day and I wouldn’t want it any other way.scotts-snap-center

5. The only plans we have are to go to breakfast, which is my favorite meal to eat out for. We’re going to The Egg, which used to be something else but apparently broke from that mother company. Either way, it is tasty!480798_568261486523475_1943714984_n



WWTK – Ethics and Morals edition

4. Don’t forget to have fun!

–QUESTIONS–

Answer these as best you can;

1.) You found a twenty dollar bill in the parking lot on the way into the grocery store. What do you do?

2.) Is it considered stealing to take pens from a bank? What about extra napkins or plastic forks from a fast-food restaurant?

3.) If you know about something “illegal” going on at your workplace but you are not involved in it, should you tell someone or do you stay quiet?
4.) You accidentally scratch the paint on the car next to you in the lot. You know you got there after them so it is your fault. Do you tell them or leave?
5.) If you won the lottery – be honest - how much would you give to family members/friends?

ANSWERS–

1. I have actually found money in the parking lot before. I usually look around to see if it’s painfully obvious that a person near me was the one who dropped it. If not, I totally pocket that. I mean, anyone could claim it if I took it inside so why not let that be me?

2. In this case, I don’t take pens mainly because I worked retail for two years and when customers took my pen, I got very stabby. Admittedly, if I go into, say, Satrbucks  or Chipotle, I take a few extra napkins and sometimes some spoons, if I need them in my office. Not ungodly amounts or anything.

3. I know of someone who is in a legal situation right now for something similar. Place of work had some “extracurricular” drug business going on but every employee was arrested. Did he know? Perhaps. If it were me, I’d probably keep my mouth shut because I’d also like to keep my job.

4. Man, I am stumped by my own question! If I really scratched someone’s paint – like, really bad, I might leave them my info. Or wait around a few minutes to see if they come back so we can talk. if it’s a small scuff, I’m outta there.

5. The age-old lottery question! I would definitely give money to my parents, because they’ve been struggling. And my sister would get a good bit for the same reason. See, if I did win, I’d take the lump sum. Pay my taxes up front and then dole out and save the rest. I highly doubt I’d be just giving it away to friends. Because Lord knows everyone would suddenly be my “best” friend if they needed money!



WWTK – Morning time!

–QUESTIONS–

Answer these as best you can;

1. What does your morning routine look like?
2. How long does it take you to get ready for the day?
3. If you could wear one thing every day what would it be?
4. Are you a girly girl or more of a tomboy?
5. Where is your go to place to shop?
ANSWERS–

1. LOL What routine? No, I kid. Our alarm goes off at roughly 5:50 and Ash gets in the shower. I lay in bed. Then I shower, let the dogs out and feed them, then put together kid lunches. Then I wake them, tell them to get dressed. Depending on the day, I make sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits but most days they get a cereal bar or toaster strudel. We’re out the door shortly after 7 and I take Isaac to daycare first, then stop by (usually) a place for coffee or breakfast for myself, then drop Elliot off at school before heading to work myself by 8.

2.  Well, as noted above, from alarm to sitting down at my desk, it’s a roughly two hour process. But in terms of myself getting dressed and put together? 15-20 minutes, counting shower time.

3. I would wear comfy tops and shorts with boat shoes every damn day if I could. Wait, I do that NOW. I call it pregnant chic.

>4. I have always been more of a tomboy but sometimes I do put makeup on and/or let my hair down.

5. I buy my jeans from American Eagle but for the most part, I find tops here and there. I have had good luck at JC Penny and Macy’s.



WWTK – Week 12 – Would you rather Edition

>Incognitus Scriptor

<div align="center"><a href="http://incognitusscriptor.com/" title="Incognitus Scriptor"><img src="http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s671/HoneyAndBoo/WWTKbutton-1-1_zps2077872a.jpg" alt="Incognitus Scriptor" style="border:none;" /></a></div>

2. Include the super cute button in your post (grab the code above)

3. Link-up and spread the word

4. Don’t forget to have fun!

–QUESTIONS–

Answer these as best you can; feel free to explain why

1.)    Would you rather… go out to eat or make a nice meal at home?

2.)    Would you rather… drive or fly?

3.)    Would you rather… go to a sporting event or watch it on TV?

4.)    Would you rather… read a book or watch TV?

5.)    Would you rather… go to bed early or sleep in late?

ANSWERS–

1.) If it would be without kids, I would rather go out to eat. I sometimes get the itch to try a new recipe and then I like to cook at home but I always end up dirtying so many dishes, etc that I would rather just have someone serve me.

2.) Hmm, driving is long and annoying but the hassle of getting to the airport, security, other people, etc can really detract from flying. When Ash and I have taken longer vacations without kids, we’ve flown but we drove with them to Chicago and that was also just fine. Cost is also a factor. I will say driving as my answer, because the pros outweigh the cons.

3.) This is a tough one. For most sports, I would rather watch on TV. Football, for example, is a good one for TV. NASCAR, on the other hand, is way more fun in person. And then some, I wouldn’t watch one way or another! (Golf; ugh.)

4.) Eh, some days I cannot stand the noise/drone of TV. I go through phases where I love the books I am reading and it’s all I want to do. Then other days, television is so relaxing. I don’t have a lot of shows I HAVE to watch so I just flip around until something interesting pops up.

5.) Oh any day, rather go to bed early. Sleeping in makes me feel guilty. And if I do “sleep in”, it’s around 7 or 7:15 at the latest because we got lucky and the kids were tired.

–QUESTIONS–

1. Were you born and raised in the town you live in, or did you move to that town?
2. What is your favorite thing about the town you live in?
3. Are there any special annual events there?
4. What don’t you like about your town?
5. If you could live any where, where would it be?

ANSWERS–

1. No! I was born outside Baltimore but moved to South Florida when I was a baby. I moved to Tallahassee in the Fall of 1997.

2. My favorite thing about Tallahassee is that it is a big small city. Our population is about 200k but we’re still Southern and have that small-town feel to us.

3. We have a lot of annual events, actually. We just had Springtime Tallahassee, which has a big parade and food and a races, etc. It’s great fun! Here’s a photo from the  parade a few years ago and oneo f Ash racing last year.5582256755_21512db536_z6885953812_9ea4b2e950_c

4. I guess I have to say I don’t like the college traffic. Those kids really don’t know how to drive. And maybe the fact that the next closest actual big city is at least two to two and a half hours away. But overall, that’s not that big of a deal to me.

5. Anywhere? I don’t know; I like the idea of the Pacific Northwest but I’d be thrilled to live in a reasonable house on the beach in Hawaii. I want a carefree lifestyle. LOL.
