Do you screen your phone calls?

I have called ID, but I would not say I screen them. It's nice to know who is calling before you answer though. I am not one of those people who don't ever answer the phone. 

When was the last time you lost your temper?

It has been a while, because it takes a lot for that to happen. I try my best to be as patient as humanly possible, especially with 2 kids.

When you're lost, do you ask for directions?

I do, yes! I mean why be lost for hours when all it takes is a few minutes to get you back on your way. My husband refuses and it's the most irritating thing ever. We once drove to LA and I kid you not, we were lost for like 5 hours. All to, at the end, be back where we started. 

Better late than never

If I was a car, I'd be: A Range Rover Sport

If I was a drink, I'd be: A midori Sweet and Sour

If I was emotion, I'd be: Happy

What's one of the simple pleasures in your life?

For me, I am so addicted to Starbucks. Everything is just fine and dandy if I have my Starbucks. lol - Pathetic I know, but fits it with the simple pleasure. 

What do you like to snack on when you watch a movie?

Depends on the mood I am in. Sometimes I can go and want popcorn, others a Hot dog. But I always need to have something to drink.

If you were a Survivor contestant, what would be your luxury item?

Mascara - love my MAC mascara!

Of all your favorite foods, which one would you find the most difficult to give up for the rest of your life? Mexican food - hands down! 

Which month of the year do you think best describes your personality? I'm going to say the month of my Birthday, March.

If you could be a contestant on any game show, past or present, which show would you pick?

What is your favorite candy?

There is so much Yummy candy out there, is it really possible to name just one type of candy? I suppose rather not listing anything, I should provide a list of my favorite, weight gain in a bottle , treats. In no particular order:

• Snickers 
• Kit-Kat
• Charleston's Chew
• Whatchamacallit

Again, just to name a few... or 4?

Name one thing that you'd want to receive as a gift for Valentine's day.

Although, I enjoy getting gifts, the # 1 thing I always long for is time with my husband. We do not get enough of it. Dinner and a movie is great, even just a movie. Do  you know how many weekends we said, wanna see Benjamin Button tomorrow? We even looked the show time up online Friday.. but never went.

Can we truly love someone who loves another? 

Yes, because I have, unfortunately. I allowed myself to fall in love with someone that was still in love with someone else, had I known, I would not of allowed myself to open my heart to him. It was too late by the time I found out and the damage was already done.

Ahhh.. I don't think there is a better way to start this Beautiful Monday morning and week out any better than with some good ol' blogging! As I sit

here in my new office digs sipping my Venti Iced White Mocha from none other than Starbucks!

What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod (or music collection)?

Let me start by saying there isn't just one! I probably have one of the most craziest iTunes libraries! Just in purchased music alone I am racking in almost 1,700 songs! That is not including my separate CD collection! In this collection you will find a little bit of everything. Starting with some Alicia Keys to Al Green, then on over to some Backyardigans " A Pirate Says Arrgh!", then over to some Bon Jovi, maybe taking a stop for some holiday cheer, Burl Ives 

(yes, got to have my Christmas music too), Oh oh.. how about some Chipmunks?? Got a little Dane Cook for you funny people... Getting soulful with some Joss Stone.. Being "Bad" with some Michael Jackson, Acting more childish with some Raffi, going back in the day with some TLC and Vanilla Ice ( remember Ice Ice Baby?) Yep, got that song too! A little White Snake never hurt nobody... What you ganna do about some Wrex-N Effect " Rump Shaker"?

So, as you can see I have a strange, but some might say healthy, variety of music in my Library or on my ipod. Everyone needs a little variety in their life and mine just happens to come in the form of music. That is just a fraction of the weirdness but at least it gives you an idea.

How much time do you spend each day in your commute? (Or if you don't work outside the house, how much time do you spend in your car or other preferred mode of transportation?)

I work from home, so the most time I might spend in the car is on the weekend if we go places.

During the week, the furthest I go is just a few miles to take and pick Andrew up from school.

There may be the occasional trip to Costco or Starbucks ( teehee), which both are about 5 miles from my house. Other than that I am very much so happy to call myself a home body.

What's your favorite wardrobe item and why?

Oh gosh! This is a good one.. I am just now building my jewelry collection and it's starting to be a favorite.  Nothing better than making an outfit pop with some beautiful Jewelry. And I just got a ton of it from my Silpada Jewelry party last weekend! So, it's a new and exciting thing to me. I used to wear it more often but, unfortunately, a house we were renting 7 years ago was robbed and all the jewelry I had received from my husband when were dating was taken. All that was left behind was my birthstone band bracelet and the diamond earrings I had just got for Christmas. I was so crushed! They had taken my cross necklace, my pendant, even my engagement ring! And what is worse, they had just left our 600 dollar Camera on the bed. To tell you the truth I would of rather they taken that! The meaning to all that jewelry cannot be replaced.

Anyways.. So, I'd have to say Jewelry is my new favorite wardrobe item. But then again purses are always fun ( wink wink ).. That is a whole other blog =)

Have a Fantastic Week!

What gives you hope?

Well the only thing I am or was hopeless about was the country, but now that has all changed, so I'd have to say Barack Obama! 

How often do you get your haircut? Describe your worst haircut.

LOL this is funny because I was just talking about this. Are you ready? The last time I had my hair cut was last March! Yep almost a year ago! I need to get  my hair trimmed BAD. Anybody got some time they want to lend? I am all out.

As far as the worst, it was done at Super Cuts. Horrible!  The lady who botched my long beautiful locks back then is the person who made me vow to never go back, I don't mind paying 40 bucks for to get my hair did, and simply for the fact that my hair has never been messed up on a 40 dollar cut. But maybe that is why I only manage to get it trimmed once a year?

What's your most treasured piece of jewelry? Why?

Simple! My wedding ring. Because it was given to me by the person I vowed to spend the rest of my life with. He picked it out with thought, knowing that he was going to give it to me, him giving me this ring, to me, symbolizes that he gave me his heart. And I will forever treasure it as if it's just that.

Do you have any idiosyncrasies or unusual quirks when it comes to food and/or eating?

Not really. Unfortunately, I love food. Too much maybe. I have no control when it comes to my favorite's. Just like anyone I have things that I dislike. 

Have you ever written love letters? If so, do you still have any of them?

Yes, I used to write letters to my husband when we were dating. I think he still has most if not all of them. I still have some that he had given me as well. I even have old movies tickets from movies we went to see. The movie ticket collection has slowed since marriage and kids! =)

How easy or difficult is it for you to say you're sorry?

Not hard at all. If I know and feel as if I have done something wrong or have made a mistake, I will be the first to admit my fault.

What is the biggest mistake you made in 2008 and will not make again in 2009?

Be a little more careful with spending

Do you make New Year's resolutions? Why or why not?

I don't really make them anymore. I feel if I am going to do something I just have to do it!

Who do you nominate as “Man or Woman of the Year” for 2008?

Probably Barack Obama. Not only did we make history but I really hope that he is going to do for us what our nation needs.

What was your greatest accomplishment in 2008?

Wow, unfortunately, I don't think it can get any better after what 2007 had for us!
