Meet Me on Monday....

Love Java's questions:

1.  Who would be your dream celebrity date? Brad Pitt
2.  Do you have any food restrictions? Nope, however I wish I could restrict myself from sugar. I lack complete self control over my sweet tooth.
3.  How much time do you take to get ready in the morning? An hour, this natural beauty doesn't come quickly!Very envious of those of you who can leave your hair wet and it naturally dries gorgeous. And I'm the Tammy Fay Baker of mascara use -I was not gifted the eyelashes I desire.
4.  Sausage or bacon? Why can't it be bacon and sausage? Mostly bacon though
5.  Do you Google, Bing or Yahoo? Google

Fill In Friday!!!

1. My favorite kitchen secret is: Um, hm, I really don't think I have one. I'm feeling a bit left out if this is something I should have. Unfortunately there's no secrets in my kitchen, just miracles that edible things come out of it!!

2. _____is my favorite flavor of ice cream: Since childhood Mint and Chip has always ranked number one. Since being married to my husband, I've really come to love chocolate and peanut butter, especially the kind you get at Cold Stone where they mix it all for you. But honestly, I can consume mass amounts of just about any ice cream - yummy....

3. My favorite pair of ______ finally wore out: Oh so sad, my black boots. I wear them with everything, and they were hotter then hot. They were actually my third pair of the same Steve Madden boot. Three inch heels, hit right below the knee - with pants, skirts or dresses... I'm currently searching Ebay in hopes to snag another pair. Victoria's Secret currently sales them but I can get them cheaper on Ebay... hm... I really miss them....


4. If I could just have one more ______. Redo of the last four years. They have not been the best....

 Love that I can do Meet me on Monday on Sunday night....

1.  If you had to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Mexican... hands down. I can't pick one thing, that's too tough, but as I've said before, I think I'm a Hispanic women trapped in a blond Caucasian body.
2.  Do you write your blog posts in advance or the day you post them? 99.9% of the time the day I post them.
3.  Have you ever ridden in an ambulance? Yes. My mother, brother and I were in a car accident when I was probably about 9 or 10. Another car pulled right out in front of us and my mom broke her collar bone. I hit the dash board with my face, but was fine. Unfortunately we were headed to my Aunts with our Thanksgiving turkey. Needless to say our family gathering ended up turkey-less that year.
4.  What is your favorite candle scent? Vanilla
5.  Coffee or tea? Well, absolutely coffee..... But.... let me tell ya about a little coffee company I know that puts green tea in with their coffee as well as two other super foods.... Living Java Coffee (which my husband and I happen to own). Check out our website, it tells you it all. But suffice to say, I get the best of both worlds, GREAT tasting coffee with all the benefits of green tea....

Follow Friday

 Feeling Beachie (which I love love love the name of because I LOVE the beach) turned me on to her Friday fill in... so here it goes...

1. If I don’t _____ in the morning, my day feels off - I need a shower and my coffee. Both shuttle me into awareness of the day.

2. When someone walks into my house for the first time, they usually comment on _____- my wood floors. We spent a boat load on them with money from a trust we inherited, and they are beautiful!!!

3. Every time I see the movie, ______, I cry - yeah... though I love a good movie, I don't have anything that comes to mind. And I can't say there are too many movies I'll watch repeatedly. I feel lame, but I really don't have an answer for this. I am a sap, if there is a sappy moment, I have tears.

4. My feet feel best when ______ - I've treated them to a pedicure, which I haven't done in some time. Doing them myself just isn't the same.

Yes, It's Monday AGAIN....

I love Never Growing Old's meet me on Monday posts cause they give me something to post about with out much thinking (which I can't seem to do too much of these days)...

1.  Crunchy or soft tacos?

We eat tacos a lot at home. Fish tacos in the summer, chicken all year long. Always soft - corn, no flour. Although when I go out, I love crunchy. I am a mexican food addict. I swear I should have been born to a Hispanic family.
2.  Do you scrapbook?

Oh heck no. I gave it a shot, but it takes way too much time and way too much creativity. I'm very good at copying - no originality in my creativeness. I figure I'll take it up when my kids have grown and flown the coupe, then I can look back and miss the days of long ago. I am envious of the beautiful books I've seen, but that gene is just missing from my dna.
3.  Do you take any daily medications?

Nada. However, now that my kids are a teen and preteen, there are days I wish I could consume enough to take me to la la land!!

4.  What is your favorite sound?

Depends when you ask me. Silence is rare, so I treasure that when in the rare moments it occurs. I love the sound of my neighborhood - its so quiet and you can hear the birds - always reminds me that God takes care of the birds, how much more will he take care of me. The ocean... I can sit on a beach and listen to the waves endlessly, it puts my soul at rest. Laughter, true from the gut giggles and laughs. And the words I love you...
5.  Where were you born?

Fullerton, California - I'm a born, raised and can not ever imaging leaving - Californian

A Special Request....

Very recently a child who attends my daughter's school was diagnosed with a brain tumor. 

She is 12 years old. 

If you have a facebook profile, I'd love for you to "like" her page. She has a fun goal to reach 10k friends, and I would love to see her reach that goal by the end of next week. She started her page at the beginning of last week and currently has over 4k followers.

Here is her facebook link Jessica Joy Rees and her website jessicajoyress.

She is an inspiration. She's has an incredible faith. She is already touching the lives of many.

But...  she is only a child......

Today's Meet Me On Monday....

1.  What jewelry do you wear 24/7?

None - I take my wedding ring off at night, sometimes forgetting to put it back on when weekends roll around. If I do not have a reason to go into the jewelry box, there it will sit. I love people who can accessorize, and though I do have my fair amount of baubles, I typically gravite to the same pair of earrings, little gray and white seed pearl clusters, that go with everything.
2.  Do you twirl your spaghetti or cut it?

Twirl - where's the fun in eating cut spaghetti??!!!
3.  How many siblings do you have?

I have one brother, 3 step brothers and 3 step sisters - love them all dearly
4.  Were you named after anyone?

Nope - I'm original baby!
5.  Coke or Pepsi?

Not a soda drinker really, but Pepsi all the way. When I was pregnant with my son for some reason my body REALLY liked the taste of Pepsi. Even though I do not consume much soda, during that pregnancy I allowed myself one Pepsi and week - it was like drinking liquid gold to me. I could easily go the rest of my life and not drink another soda. Now coffee, that's a whole different ball game!!
