You know you missed 'em... 7 Questions

I'm supposed to open with a funny picture. Seein' as how every one likes a little public humiliation and I'm the one in charge of my own here... for your viewing pleasure, ladies and gents:

What's going on here? Let me tell ya'- I'm puttin' on my makeup. Brown smudges? Oh, lovely. Lesson learned? Don't leave your skin-matching foundation in the car when you go on a trip in the summer. It gets all hot and melty and then you're trying to match a color fit for someone whose "Native  American" hues are a little darker than my own. (Please don't be offended... I'm legit Cherokee.) This photo is courtesy of my husband thinking I looked hilariously cute. Can you blame him? ;o)

1. It's the first day of August- Are you savoring the Summer or ready to jump into Fall?
Oh...poor...me.... You know I love teaching but I'm trying to grasp the last days of Summer like sand in a bottle... *le sigh* Savor the Summer. (but quite frankly, this triple digit heat in Oklahoma is RUDE.)

2. You need a quick and healthy meal, what do you make?
I'm going to be honest and say, healthy meal? Probably not. Cheetos? Probably so. Sad but true- I suck at eating healthily.

3. You're at the mall, how do you shop?
The stores I always hit are Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secret, and Forever 21. I also make sure and get an Auntie Anne's pretzel or a meal from Chick-fil-a. Other than that, I kind of start at the end I walked in on an hit all the stores in which I might want to stop. Random. Sporadic. Carefree. I hate shopping like I'm on a mission. I'd never find anything that way.

4. Would you rather buy a new house or renovate an old one?
I already bought a home that is nearly 100 years old. I've not done much "updating". It's just been more personalization than anything. I like the charm of older homes. I like that I wouldn't have as much to think about with a new house...but honestly, price wise, for our little family it'd be better to renovate an old one.

5. Long hair or short hair?
I've done both. I've learned I will NEVER do hair that short again. No. Not gonna happen. Not a good look for this lady.

Short Hair - 2008

I currently have long hair.

6. Who is your oldest (not by age) friend?

Well - you see - I've had the same best friends since I was 8 years old. We met in third grade. Read a little about those beauties here. If you want to back a little further... visit first grade. My friend Carolyn and I were besties in 1st and 2nd grade and when she moved away it was a bummer. Fortunately, Facebook helps us stay in contact.

7. What is your favorite blog- currently?
Okay - this is a hard question because there are obviously ten million wonderful bloggers out there. So - I am going to go with someone "BIG" so as not to hurt feelings and also because I lust after her closet. First, Jane Aldridge from Sea of Shoes hands down. I pretty much think she's got style for miles and miles. If I were richer, I'd dress like that all the time. She makes me feel less like a weirdo. Love her. Lots of picture posts and really... isn't that what people like? I do. :o)

Second, Kandee Johnson the youtube Vlogger/tutorial Queen.  She's always so incredibly upbeat and positive. I love her tutorials. I love her blog. I love her. She's got a great way of making me feel like I'm her real life friend. Plus, I remember when she friended me on youtube. I just about peed myself with excitement. Talk about some hyperventilation. Recently, her father passed and she's been on a youtube hiatus but she still manages to write sweet, encouraging blog posts. How could anyone not love her???

 

Get yo' fashion on ya'll!
