My Questions from Aubrey:

1. What do you do when you have time to yourself? There isn't a lot of that these days with an almost 3 month old baby. but mostly I grocery shop and sleep.. yup the glamorous life of a mom!
2. What's your favorite thing to do with your kids?     Teach him new sounds. He's starting to mimic and its the cutest freaking thing I've ever seen in my whole life!
3. Does the toilet paper go over the roll, or under the roll?    OVER, I HATE when it gets put on backwards and its the middle of the night, I'm far too tired to figure it out at that point. 
4. When it comes to your blog, what is your ultimate goal? It's a place for me to vent and share my opinion.  Sometimes it gets me into a lot of trouble because I have a lot of those opinions. I never really expect anyone to read my blog so its fun and surprising when I get comments:)
5. Would you rather swim in a pool or an ocean?   I'd have to say pool.  Oceans always seem like a good idea until you're all itchy from the salt water.
6. What is your favorite holiday, and why? Holidays are rough for me because I typically work every single one. but I love Thanksgiving.  The parade on TV the awesome food and family.  It doesn't get much better than that.
7. What is the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you? I'm constantly doing embarrassing things. I'd have to say the one I do the most is I'm bad with names and things like that.  So I always call people by the wrong names. Maybe that's dumb but I always get so embarrassed.
8. What is your favorite book? I have so many.  My newest favorite is Everneath by Brodi Ashton.  I love it to pieces and can't wait to get my hands on the next one. but give me anything Richelle Mead and I'll finish it in a day, even if I've already read it.
9. What are you currently most addicted to?   Pinterest and anything that can keep me awake while I feed my son at 3am. I also have been doing a lot of reading on my nook app. So maybe I should just say my iPhone.
10. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go?  I have to pick just one?? Have you seen my travel board on Pinterest? Oh man, probably the 311 day cruise, that counts right?
11. What is your favorite thing about blogging?   Connecting with other bloggers. And the feeling I get letting out my craziness.

 

 

Eleven things about me

 

1. I love the band 311.  My first date with the hubs was to a 311 concert, in fact we met because we both love 311.  We were married on 3/11. We named our son after a 311 song.  Okay we might be a little crazy about it.
2. My son was born on Pnuts birthday. Who is Pnut you ask? he's the bass player in 311. Should I come up with facts that don't involve 311? Okay Okay I'm thinking.
3. I'm an assistant manager. I work for a growing theater company in Utah.  I've been doing it for 10 years now. 5 with a national company and 5 with the company I'm with now.
4. I'm surrounded by boys in my house. We have a boy dog, the hubs and my son.  And I LOVE it! I wouldn't trade it for anything.  In fact I'd be perfectly happy only having boys.
5. I'm terrible at keeping secrets. I always need to tell at least tell one person.  I usually tell the hubs. he's good at keeping secrets.
6. My favorite food is my Grandma's Strogonoff. It's literally the best ever!
7. I've seen all the HIMYM episodes a million times. Okay maybe its not THAT many but its close okay!
8. My Husband is my bestest bestest friend. he's my bbf! I couldn't live my life without him. I really never ever want to.
9. I'm LDS and proud of it. This doesn't mean I'm perfect. I'm no where near.  I try really hard to be a good a Mormon but I am who I am.  It also doesn't mean I hate gays, have horns or a tail. Or any of those other crazy rumors.
10. When I see sales at stores that say 3 for 11 dollars I always feel like I need to do it! I know I said I wouldn't use 311 anymore but its a truth fact.
11. I never thought I'd be strong enough to have a baby.  I'm super proud of myself. Pregnancy sucks but I did it.  and Labor was easier than I thought it would be. I love being a mom!
