Knowing is Half the Battle

Here are the much anticipated answers to my little quiz....because I know you are all dying to know.



Right?



My favorite color is brown. This surprises most people. I usually hear, "out of all the colors in the world you pick BROWN?" This is usually said incredulously. I have loved brown for about 10 years now. To me it looks like warmth...it's natural...earthy...and it's the same color as chocolate. Can't go wrong there. My master bedroom is painted entirely in chocolate brown. Yummy......



I have 3 siblings. Two sisters and one brother. I'm stuck in the middle....maybe that's why I like that song so much! :0)



I have had several nicknames in my lifetime. I did a post about this at one point. However, the nickname that I have been called for almost my entire life is Smash. This was bestowed upon me by my older sister, who I lovingly refer to as "Smelly". Good times.



My biggest pet peeve....this one messed up most of you. Except for that first one about the toilet seat being left up, all the other answers were some of my pet peeves. I hate a kitchen full of open cupboards. I had a roommate once who left ALL of them open ALL of the time. It drove me crazy. I also have a hard time having people touch my feet. Not so much that I can't have a pedicure though. My biggest pet peeve however, is people's lack of respect for my time. My life is just as busy as everyone else's. So, don't waste my time! And now you know...



My major in college is psychology. I plan on being a child and family counselor. I've always wanted to do this {well, at least since I went to college the first time around}. Now, I'm hoping I actually make it through and finish up.



Sadly, I have moved 27 times in my life. I know...it's a lot. I hope to keep the number under 30 as I live out the rest of my life because....Holy Cow!



And, um....duh! Girls Night is my favorite day of the month! The second Thursday of every month is when I run away with my girls and party down. I'm a die hard and have only missed one night in 2 1/2 years. If there is something else going on, it takes a back seat to MY night. And I'm not kidding either. :0)



People....I cannot live without sugar. I will die. Ok, maybe not literally....but my body will go through some serious withdrawals! Remember? I tried? And what happened? I made it two days and ended up eating almost an entire container of Lofthouse cookies. Not good.



Medical terminology...though I do talk to myself...I'm not schizophrenic. And though my son thinks I'm crazy...I'm really no psychopathic. As indicated here, here, and even here....I am a classic case of obsessive compulsive disorder. And can I tell you how frustrating it can be? Sigh.



My favorite food? Italian ALL. THE. WAY. I loves me some pasta. It makes me happy.



Do you all feel well informed now? I'm so glad!
Also, it looks like there were two people that got 9 out of 10 answers correct! I'm impressed ladies! Happy prizes will be coming your way very shortly! And to everyone else...thanks for playing!


One more thing....



I've been blogging for a long time now, but it wasn't until yesterday that I got my first blogging award. I'm a seriously glowing....beaming really. Somebody loves me that much!





See? TravelinOma gave this to me. She said my blog warms her heart. :0) I'm so glad too! There is a story behind this award though. Memoirs of a Mommy is a blog by Noah's mom.

"Born with a heart defect, he was blessed with a heart transplant when he was an infant. Someone gave Noah a new heart. And someone else's mom had a broken heart. Noah's mom created it to celebrate the first anniversary of his transplant and it's going around the Internet to raise awareness of organ donation."

Though he was much older than Noah, my grandfather is alive and kicking today because of a liver transplant. He was the recipient of an organ donated by someone who had enough heart to share a piece of themselves with someone else. For this, my family will always be truly grateful. My grandfather is an amazing man. :0)

Happy blogging!
