Spring Blog Party

I'm feeling rather "springy" today so I linked up with Dancing Barefoot on Weathered Ground for Lynnette's spring blog party.  The sun is finally shining here and I have some rugs out drying on the railing of the steps (my "clothes line" until the real one is up) so I figured, why not!


What is your comfort food/drink?
Food: chocolate.  I'm addicted.  Badly.

Drink: Sweet tea.  REAL sweet tea.  I'm convinced you have to be southern born to make it right though.  Unless you are my MIL.  That woman makes some good sweet tea.


Be brave – tell us something very random and weird about yourself.
I HATE cleaning my bathroom and unloading my dishwasher.  The bathroom is the smallest room in the house and takes the least amount of time, but I hate that chore.  As far as the dishwasher...I will load that thing up with dirty dishes ANY day, but I down right HATE unloading it and putting away the clean ones.


Do you have a strong desire to do something you’ve never done? What is it?
Hmmm.  Cloth diaper.  LoL!  I'm so excited for this little one to come so that I can put his butt in some of this fluff laying around!  I'm convinced that delivery will be much easier for me if they just hold a cloth diaper down there and tell me to place the baby in the diaper.  LoL!


Books: Fiction, Non-Fiction, Romance, Biographies, True Stories, Self-Help, Devotional/Study? 
What are your favorite types of reading material?
Fiction.  I like to get lost in another reality entirely.  I'm a sucker for the Harry Potter series...and The Hitch Hiker's Guide. 

Music: Funk, Rock, Country, Jazz, Classical, Film Score, Blues, Classic Rock, Crooner, Alternative, Heavy Metal, Techno? What are your favorite types?
Man, where to start.  I grew up on classic rock.  I LOVE jazz, enjoy playing the blues, and would rather sing Opera.  Our radio is stuck on KLOVE and my husband and I share a slightly unhealthy obsession with Frank Sinatra.  Some of my favorite songs are Country and Hip-Hop.    I think you get the picture.

If you inherited a million dollars, what is the first thing you would do with your money?
House.  Nothing extravagant.  I want the one next door.  New car, pay off bills.  The rest gets saved back.  Seriously.  I dont really WANT of earthly things.  I just want to be comfortable, not have to worry.  I enjoy saving money much more than spending it.  I would probably take some and get some chickens, honestly.  My personal splurge would be egg producers.  LoL!

Name one weakness of yours (confession is good for the soul).
I'm very gullible.  I will believe just about anything you tell me. 

If you could live anywhere at all (and take all your loved ones with you), where would you go?
Turks and Caicos.  Landon and I went there a few years ago for his cousins wedding at the Beaches resort there.  I fell in love with the place.  That million dollars would probably send me back for a week too.  It's also the place Landon proposed to me.

Strange Talent? Can you juggle basketballs, put your legs behind your head or perform some other strange feat?
I make milk.  You?

What’s something you consider yourself to be good at? (Don’t worry, it’s not bragging, it’s acknowledging a God given gift).
Domestic things.  I LOVE taking care of my family.  I cook, I clean, I mow, I garden, and I love each and every minute of it.  I did the work thing and I was MISERABLE the entire time.  Now that I'm home taking care of my boys and my house....well, I've honestly never been happier.

What is one of your favorite things to catch a whiff of?
Polo Black.  Landon wore that cologne when we first started dating.  I also love Baby Magic lotion, lilacs, and the smell of fish.  Seriously.  I grew up on a fishing boat and it's just not summer with out the smell of rotting fish carcass.  LoL!

If money wasn’t a factor, what stores would you shop in?
Saving money is a game to me so I'd shop the same places.  I would, however, splurge a little in places like Hobby Lobby.  Love me some craft supplies!

What is your greatest fear or strange phobia?
Ok, this is strange when you think about how far modern medicine has come, but I'm scared to death that I will die in child birth.  Yeah, me of all people.  Little miss "I love babies, want so many" is scared out of her mind.  Each time I get pregnant I feel as though I am cheating death in the delivery room.  Does NOTHING for my anxiety.

What is your greatest accomplishment?
My kiddos.  I think that the greatest gift we can give to the Earth...and humanity in general...would be our kids.  The things we teach them, how we raise them.  I hope my legacy is a good one.  Look closely to this picture...there are two of my babies in it.

What are your favorite animals?
Sloths.  They always happy in a "high as a kite" sort of way.  Like they really dont care whats going on around them.  They just take life so easily and always have that goofy grin.
