Tag... I'm It

 My sweet, awesome, amazing friend Jaci (of Me And My Soldier Man) tagged me!

1. When someone tells you to "go to your happy place," where do you go?

I don't really have a 'happy place', I guess...  I think of the beach, or of Disneyland, or of a big, fat, awesomely yummy ice cream sundae.

2. You're in a room with a stranger - who will certainly die tomorrow. What do you say to them?

 Forgive me for answering a question with a question... but how do I know they will die tomorrow?  And do they know?  If they told me, that would mean that they are comfortable talking about it.  In that case, I would ask them if they felt they had lived their life to the fullest, what they would change about how they lived, what things, now, at the end of their lives, seem like they were actually important, and what they wish they would have just let go of and gotten over...

3. What one TV show would you like to be on (reality or fiction)?

 I wish I could be on one of the crime-solving shows... CSI (Vegas, NY, Miami), Criminal Minds, etc... I think I would do a dang good job at figuring out who done it.  It would also be lots of fun to be on Scrubs though.  Gotta love Sacred Heart Hospital.

 4. How many facebook friends do you have?

  I have 439.

 5. What did you have for dinner last night?

 I had yummy homemade meatballs, pasta, and Texas Toast.  Good food, and good company :)

 6. Describe yourself in 200 words or less.

I am an army wife, a stay at home mom to two amazing toddlers and a little furbaby, a daughter of awesome parents, a sister to a great man, an in-law to a bunch of crazies (but I love them despite it), a cousin, niece and granddaughter to an insane zoo of people.  I love my family and friends more than anything else, especially The Hubs & the kiddos... I'm a Mormon, and love the idea that, as long as I do my part, I will be able to be with my family forever.  I am a neurotic insomniac with some control issues and a little bit of ocd.  I try to make myself seem like a hardass, but I'm really a bleeding heart.  I love to decorate, to make things look 'pretty' and am obsessed with Damask.  I used to write, and wish I still had the 'touch' but lately I can't get into it as easily as I used to be able to.  I love love love taking pictures of anything and everything, love being able to document life, especially the special moments, so they're not forgotten.

7. What is your biggest pet peeve?

  People not being polite; not returning smiles, being rude when you accidentally bump into them and then apologize, cutting you off, or just not acknowledging your presence at all.  Rudeness really bothers me. 

8. What is the thing that, when it happens, you think, "Today is going to be a good day"?

 Waking up to a clean house, and the kids waking up happy, not crying.
