We Want to Know Wednesday

{1} What would you do with an extra $1000 a month?
 An extra $1000 a month??? I really wouldn't know how to act, but on a serious note I would buy my son a car, I would also start paying off items to clean up my credit report. 

{2} What category of blogger do you think you best fall under? 

The random girly category. 

{3} What is your go to solution when you are having a bad hair day? 

by pulling the front up in a clip, since I have had it cute Its to short to pull it all up. OMG that so reminds me I have to put up my hair makeover post.

{4} If you were a Crayon, what color would you be?

I would want to be a hot pink, I think pink makes people happy.

{5} They say love is in the little things. What is a little thing someone does to show you love? 

 Even though I say it drives me crazy but when my dad calls me 10 times a day to tell me the simplest things like he stubbed his toe.

When Paul helps my dad around the house with repairs, my dad went Legally blind a few years ago so its hard for him to do things. Paul knows its hard on my dad not to be able to do simple things so he lets my dad help even though sometimes he is making more of a mess.

Paul, me, mom, & dad

We Want to Know Wednesday Q&A

 

The theme of the Q&A this week is Friendship:

1) Do you make friends easily?

Sometimes it takes me a while. I tend to be shy at first but I open up when I get to know you  

3) What 3 qualities are a must in a friend?

Be honest, loyal, and caring.

{3} What makes you a good friend?

I am always there no matter what for any of my friends, even thought I might disagree with their decisions I try my best to give my support. I am very trustworthy and when we have an argument I will be the first to apologize.

4) Have you ever met a bloggy friend in real life?

NO but I am hoping Mamarazzi has a little time when she is in my area in June.

Yes? tell us about your meet up. No? Who would you love to meet?

Hmmm this is a tough one, because I want to meet you all. Well of course Mamarazzi. Brandy from You Don’t Know, she is always making me laugh and her son is such a cutie. Ellen over at Fat Girl Wearing Thin, I was paired up with her for a swap, she is an amazing woman.

5) Who is your best friend? Tell us about them.

Lisa & I

We met in 3rd grade she had just moved to California 2 weeks before I did and the teacher sat us next to each other. We have had many up’s and downs throughout the years but I love her with all my heart and she will always be the Bestest Friend to me.

Jennifer & I

Jennifer is my BFF from High School.  Honestly I won’t can’t tell you how we first met, but I will say we have a lot of memories that make us laugh all the time. We are only 3 weeks apart, (yes I am older and she will never let me forget that) I don't know what I would do with out her.
