Blog Dare - Day 17 - How adults should celebrate their birthdays. {This could have a humorous spin!}

How adults should celebrate their birthdays. {This could have a humorous spin!} Well how adults should and how I did are two different things! Adults should be able to go out and have fun and just let there hair down and not worry about anything and definitely have a day off from everything and no worries! And do things that they enjoy and spoil there selves. Have some adult fun... That won't be how I spend my birthday...wanted to do something with friends this weekend but that isn't working out so I am sure that I will spend it working and maybe spoil myself a little but not too much...my birthday is Monday :)

Blog Dare - Day 16 - A favorite memory from the great outdoors.

A favorite memory from the great outdoors.   I enjoy going outside and just walking around and relaxing...I love going outside to take pictures of the sky, very relaxing for me to go outside and take pictures of the beautiful clouds. A good memory of the outdoors is when I was younger both my grandfather and my uncle use to take me fishing and that was nice to get out there and do that and just spend time with each of them. My grandfather would take me to a creek in the middle of a forest and my uncle would take me to the reservoir and that would be fun and cool  to just go there and enjoy the quiet and time with my uncle. Miss those days..miss them both...

Just a Kiss - such a beautiful song....

Blog Dare - Day 15 - The most romantic book...

The most romantic book...  Hmm, I don't know about this one...the last book that I've read is Twilight New Moon..so I guess that is my answer..haven't been taking the time to read lately so another one isn't coming to mind right now...Love the Twilight series!

Christian Rock Band ‘Junkyard Prophet’ Delivered an Anti-Gay Anti-Abortion Message at a School Assembly

What are your thoughts on this???

A true soul-mate

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you will ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake.  But to live with the soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul-mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.  A soul-mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life . -Elizabeth Gilbert I didn't write this, one of my friends had gotten it in an email and shared it with me. I love it though...I believe in Soul-mates and true love...I think that some of it fits to a T and a little part might not...I believe that my true love is my soul-mate :) I don't think that living with your soul-mate forever is too painful at all...I would love nothing more then to live with a soul-mate..he makes me the happiest in t...

Post an old photo... and tell us what was happening at that moment.   This is a picture from my 10th year high school reunion I love this picture. Its a picture of some of my closest friends from back in high school. I can't believe that its been 10 years ago since the picture was taken!!  My 20th high school reunion is coming up this year. How time flies!!

Blog Dare - Day 13 - A vegetable I won't insist my children eat.

A vegetable I won't insist my children eat.   I would say that has to be asparagus. I don't like it and don't expect my children to have to eat something that I myself don't like. I do insist that they eat other veggies and there aren't that many that I won't insist that they eat.

Blog Dare - Day 12 - 10 things I have yet to accomplish.

Hmm, 10 things that I have yet to accomplish... Buying/owning my own home I have started my own business but I haven't made it as "out there and known" as I would like too. To travel all over the US To go to the ocean Travel overseas To write a book To get a college degree To get my real estate license  Live a happy fulfilling life..working on this one... To put each of my children through college..only one is old enough to go to college, the other 3 have a few more years to go and then that will happen. I have to say that I have accomplished one thing and that is raising my kids right to live a good life and even though we aren't made out of money and don't have everything in the world that they want, they do have everything they need and I believe that being a loving and caring mom out weighs the things that they don't have like the fancy name brand clothes and all that stuff that is just that..things that they will outgrow and grow out of event...

Blog Dare - Day 11 - being a first time mother...

Being a first time mother has opened up my eyes to a ton of things. Its brought a new meaning to the word love into my life.  There is something about having something living inside of you that brings all kinds of emotions and such in you that you never realized you had before. The way that you can feel the baby inside you move and kick and live inside of you is nothing short of an absolute miracle but then to actually be a first time mom and seeing the baby for the first time and hearing him/her cry for the first time and then the emotions that go through you when you hold and see the baby for the first time is just amazing and wonderful. You forget about the pain and just concentrate on all the other emotions ...becoming a first time mom was the greatest day of my life!!!! And after my first, it was the same with my other three children that followed...the greatest days of my life was the days I gave birth to each of my children. I am so blessed to have such great kids. Yes they ...

Blog Dare - Day 10 - How my idea of "easy" has changed since becoming a mother.

How my idea of "easy" has changed since becoming a mother. So since being a mother the word easy is very Rarely in my vocabulary!! Unless its an easy dinner there isn't such a thing as easy anymore and even though my kids are teenagers, it still isn't that easy! Now there is just different Issues and things to deal with rather then when they were smaller. My idea of easy has definitely changed since being a MOm but its all good since my kids are my life and the air that I breathe and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world!

Fried Fish Tacos just don't make me go yum!

Fried fish tacos just doesn't sound too appetizing to me ... Ick is more like it!! I guess I'm into trying new things but I am not a huge fan of fish..I like tacos no problem there but not fried fish ... What other crazy recipes are out there that you want to share?    

Blog Dare - Day 9 - I never get to __________ anymore.

Blog dare for day 9 is I never get to _____ anymore. Hmm, ok well I never get to just go out and take a road trip to wherever the road leads me anymore and I so would love to do that, not that I did it that much before but I use to just decide that one weekend I would just go wherever the road led me and enjoy it, sometimes with the kids/family and other times just by myself. I never get to do that anymore although here pretty soon I am hoping to take a trip to Graceland with a friend or two. I would so love to go there and sight see and relax and just walk around and hopefully take tons of pics! I love Elvis always will and would love to go there. I would also love to just go and explore everything around there and take on some new adventures with my friends and make new memories and of course take a bazillion pictures of everything!! Maybe this month or next? We will see...

Blog Dare - Day 8 - If I were alone on a train -- I would be heading...

If I were alone on a train -- I would be heading... Hmm ok so today's blog dare is if I were alone on a train, I would be heading to Hollywood. Why not? I would love to see what adventures Hollywood has to offer me. The first thought was Paris..so if the train would be somehow able to get over there to Paris then that is where I would want to go...otherwise Hollywood. I want to go and walk down the street where the Stars are..can't think of the name of it...geez! I want to go in so many places and just take a ton of pics that would be awesome and I don't care if I am alone or not..I just want to go and explore and have some great adventures.

Although I haven't tried making a pie yet...hmm maybe that is one that baffles me!   I want to make one like my grandmother does with the whipped white egg whites on top of it..can't remember the name of it at the moment but I have pic of it in my head so I'm not losing my mind yet..lol...that might be one that baffles me right now since I haven't tried it but want to pretty soon.  

Would you rather have more blog readers or more blog comments?

Image
