I've come to realize...

I stole this from Brittany Ann at Living in the Moment, check her out, she's fabulous!

I like doing these types of things once in awhile because it gives me a chance to reflect on my own answers and also it gives me something I can return to and see how much I've changed, or stayed the same! Plus, it's also kind of fun!

Anyway, sit back, relax and enjoy.  I know I did!

***

I’ve come to realize that my job. . . is not the one I want to stay in forever.  I want to be and will be a school counselor, hopefully within the next school year and if not then 2011-2012 school year, Here I come!

I’ve come to realize that when I’m driving. . . sometimes I make it to my destination and have no idea how I did it.

I’ve come to realize that I need. . to stop worrying about the little things.  I get so wrapped up in worrying that it can't be healthy!

I’ve come to realize that I have lost. . . my desire to go out and drink because I have so many other things to do.

I’ve come to realize that I hate it when. . . people are rude for no apparent reason.  Get over yourself and realize that everyone has their opinion and it's just that, their opinion and they are entitled to it.

I’ve come to realize that if I’m drunk. . . it doesn't happen very often and I get very chatty, sometimes to the point of no return if you know what I mean!

I’ve come to realize that money… is not something one should worry about.  But don't look at this girl, she worries about it as if it's her job.  Money is also not everything and definitely does not buy happiness.

I’ve come to realize that certain people. . . may not like me and I'm ok with that.

I’ve come to realize that I’ll always. . . think of home (my parents home) as my home.  Maybe it will change when we have kids, but I'll always want to live close to my family.

I’ve come to realize that my sibling(s). . . is very different than I am, but that's what makes us unique.  He is my only sibling and I love him with all my heart and wish the very best for him.

I’ve come to realize that my mom... needs a vacation.

I’ve come to realize that my cell phone. . . should be apart of my body because I cannot leave home without it.  If I do, I have to go back and get it, most the time.

I’ve come to realize that when I woke up this morning. . .that I did not want to get up for work and that I wished I worked for the schools because I would have had an extra 2 hours this morning!

I’ve come to realize that last night before I went to sleep. . . I forgot to say my prayers

I’ve come to realize that right now I am thinking. . . about all of the things I'd rather be doing than being at work. BUT then I become thankful that I have a job.

I’ve come to realize that my dad. . . is a very hard worker, he is kind, fun, hilarious at times and irreplaceable and I'm lucky to have him as my dad.

I’ve come to realize that when I get on Facebook. . . I spend entirely too much time on there.

I’ve come to realize that today. . . . is Friday and I have a ton of work I should be doing.

I’ve come to realize that tonight. . . will be a movie night with the hubby.

I’ve come to realize that tomorrow. . . I get to go dress shopping with some of my friends from back home for one of their weddings and that I get to see my family to celebrate my Dad's 54th birthday!

I’ve come to realize that I really want to . . . have a baby, be finished with school, find a great counseling job, move back to my hometown and start living our life as a family. :-) 

I’ve come to realize that the person mostly likely to re-post this is. . . anyway who is in need of something to post.

I’ve come to realize that life. . . should not be taken for granted.

I’ve come to realize that this weekend. . . will be fun and relaxing.

I’ve come to realize that my friends. . . are one of God's greatest gifts to me.

I’ve come to realize that this year. . . is hopefully going to be a great one!

I’ve come to realize that my husband. . . is my other half, my best friend, the love of my life and the person who keeps me grounded.

I’ve come to realize that maybe I should. . . get back to work.

I’ve come to realize that I love. . . staying at home more than leaving it.

I’ve come to realize that I don’t understand. . . why some of the most wonderful people don't get all they deserve.

I’ve come to realize my past. . . has shaped me into the person I am today.

I’ve come to realize that parties. . . are usually not for me.  Sometimes we like to go to a party, but we're always that "old" couple who leaves early to go home because we hate feeling sick in the morning.

I’ve come to realize that I’m totally terrified. . . of never being able to have children.

I’ve come to realize that my life. . . is amazing and I wouldn't have it any other way.

***

Please steal this if you want to, it was kind of fun.

Happy Friday!  I hope you all have a great weekend and we'll "see" you Monday!

A Decade in review

Lucy posted this and I thought it would be a good reminder of what the last 10 years have brought to my life.  Enjoy! :-)

What has this decade looked like for you?

Random Dozen

1. Which Wizard of Oz character are you most like?  Toto- I just love that dog! :-)

2. When you're deciding what you're going to wear each morning, which item do you select first? My pants Why?  Because then I know what I'm matching my top and shoes to.

3. What kind of animal do you think the world could live without? hmmm Mosquitoes, yes, I know you said animal but I choose an insect! 

4. How many Christmas trees are in your home? none yet! :-(  But we'll be putting one up this weekend!

5. Would you prefer to be emotionless if it mean you didn't have to feel a heartbreak? No chance in H E double hockey sticks!

6. Do you ever experience holiday let-down or depression? Sometimes, I love the holidays, but they are over so quickly and then January and February are so long!

7. Do you like Michael Jackson's music? Some of his songs are good and I think he was a great musician despite his many odd traits.....

8. Why is it that we never judge people who have their teeth fixed for cosmetic reasons, but every other cosmetic procedure has a stigma? Wow, that's a very good question... I've had my teeth fixed, but wouldn't consider doing anything else.  I guess I'm not "enhancing" for someone else, but everyone knows a great smile makes the person feel better.... On the flip side, maybe other "enhancements" make some people feel just as good.... I need to stop judging people! gosh!

9. Enjoy horseback riding? Yes, but it's terrifying at the same time!

10. Shoes--practical or stylish? BOTH!

11. What was the name of your first pet? Feel free to post a pic.  Harry, I have no pictures of him on the computer because I didn't have a digital camera back then!

12. What percentage of your Christmas shopping is done? hmmmm 90%!

Sorry guys, I was lacking creativity motivation to use my own skills to come up with a post for today... Obviously I've been slacking a bit because I've lost a couple followers, but thanks to all of you who comment and who have stuck with me! That's ok, I'm not truly desperate sad, it's their loss right? haha j/k I'm not one to toot my own horn often. 

On a serious note though, I truly enjoy the friendships I've made here in bloggy land and I just want you all to know that even though I don't comment everyday, I still value you and I love reading and keeping up on your life with you! Have a wonderful rest of the week!!

Sugar Doll

The fabulous Brittany Ann at Living in the Moment gave me the The Fabulous Sugar Doll Blogger Ward!

This is my second award ever and I am very excited about it!! :-) Thanks Brittany! 

The rules:  I must list 10 Interesting facts about myself that you don't already know!

This is probably more difficult and I hope I don't lose any of you because I'm not all that interesting :-)

Without further adue:

1.  Thanksgiving is my all-time favorite holiday!  I love the fact that all you do is get together with family and EAT!  Then you may watch some football and then EAT some more!  :-)  If you cannot tell, I love eating!  haha

2.  Even though I love Thanksgiving, so very much, I Love Christmas almost just as much!  I love wrapping presents, listening to Christmas music and spending time with family.  O, and I love decorating for Christmas.

3.  This is related to the above, but I cannot stand when people put Christmas lights up before Thanksgiving, let alone before November!  I know the weather is a bit nicer, but come on.... Thanksgiving is a holiday too and it deserves just as much respect on it's reserved day!

4.  I have worse handwriting than a 12 year old boy.  No.Joke.

5.  I have no self control when it comes to brownies, cake or cookies. I think I need an intervention.

6.  I cannot have company over unless the house is at least picked up.  Even if it's hubby's friends, I have to scramble to clean before they come over.

7.  My hubby and I are getting a camera for Christmas (with the help of my parents) and so we've put a limit on Christmas spending for each other.  I've bought him one small thing, but otherwise he is SO hard to shop for.  He pretty much gets what he wants within reason, so buying him something is so very hard.  He'll tell me what he wants, but I hate giving gifts when people know exactly what it is.  There's something about surprising people with a gift that I love.  I love getting them something that I think they will love and then seeing the reaction on their faces.

8.  Whenever I go shopping, I'll end up always returning something.  I have a thing about not trying clothes on at the store.  I hate dressing rooms and the idea of trying clothes on in them. 

9.  I too have road-rage.  Sometimes I'll go so far as to honk unnecessarily and I may have tailgated a time or two in my whole 8 years of driving :-)

10.  Surprises are my favorite.  Though, 10 9 out of 10 times I'll try to figure out what it is.  Hubby is great at giving bad hints so that I can never guess what it is.  I don't actually want to know what the surprise is, but there's something about surprises that makes me go crazy and try to figure it out anyway.  He's learned to be pretty sneaky when giving me surprises.

Now, 10 of you lovely ladies are very deserving of this Fabulous Sugar Doll Award!  Those lucky 10 are:

Mrs Bee at Secret Life of Sass & Lex

Jamie at His 'n Her Towels

Ashley at Joshley and The Charles

Abby at Life with B & A

Becky at The Branches

Kait at My Crazy, Unpredictable Life

Sara at That's Sassy

Taryn at The Colorado Desert

Lucy Marie at Lucy's Life

Summer at B is for Brown

Thanks so much Brittany!  It was fun learning new things about you! :-)

T - Time you wake up: During the week I set my alarm for 6:53, though I wish I could get up earlier so that I could workout in the morning, but I do not have the motivation for that! On weekends, I get to sleep in till the late time of about 8-9..... :-)

U- Underwear: I love love love American Eagle's Aerie's Boybrief underwear

V - Vegetable you dislike: Zucchini and Brussels spouts

W - Ways you run late: gosh..... Think I have more time than I really do, take too much time doing something other than getting ready, the fact that I'm known for never being on time, don't want to be too early, there are a lot of reasons as to why I'm late.... oops!

X - X-rays you've had: Dental xrays, back/neck xrays for the chiropractor, xrays for my feet (I felt like an 80 year old woman, but the balls of my feet felt like they were on fire when I worked out), xrays for my ankle when I sprained it.

Y - Yummy food you make: I make a lot of yummy foods.... Jesse's favorite's are lasagna, French Dip subs (his new fav), my cookies (with vanilla pudding) [If you haven't tried making these babies, ask me for the recipe and you won't be disappointed!]

Z - Zoo favorite: Monkeys for sure! Love them!
