10-4 Good Buddy {September Answers}

Alright, lovely ladies...can't wait to read your answers!  If you want to join the party, click here for the details.
1. Do you listen to Pandora?  What is your go-to Pandora station?
We always listen to Pandora at the cake shop.  
Right now, my go-to station is Elevation worship, but I also love the Jack Johnson, Tenth Avenue North and JJ Heller stations.

2. What is your favorite post from August?
Just Like Daddy -it is such a fun memory for me.

3. What non-cartoon TV show reminds you of your childhood?
Full House - My sister and I used to get so mad at my brother because he would always try to predict when the music at the end of each episode would start. {You know...during the very important learning lesson for D.J, Steph or Michelle}

4. What bad habit do you have that even annoys you?
I have a really bad habit of not shutting cabinet doors in the kitchen.

5. What 5 things would you take with you if your house was on fire?  People don't count...hopefully, that's a given.
my bible from high school, my journal, our stand up mirror {It makes you look smaller than you are}, my necklace that Wes had made using my grandma's diamond from her wedding ring, and our wedding album

6. Do you have a cleaning schedule that you use to keep up with your housework?
I use a schedule created by Motivated Moms
I like it because instead of cleaning one entire room from top to bottom, you do random things through out the house.  
It's really good for my cleaning ADD.  
Today I clean out my purse, pay the bills, clean the bathroom mirrors,clean my hairbrushes and dust Max's room and the guest rooms.  
This is in addition to other chores like laundry, dishes and picking up around the house.  
There are days when I don't do anything on the list, but it's great for when I feel overwhelmed and need a place to start.

7. What was your high school mascot?  Please tell me you have the ability to scan a high school picture to post too...
I grew up in a town called Reading and we were the Rangers.

Oh, did I have fun looking through some old pictures.
There were some pictures that I am dying to show you, but I will spare my high school friends the embarrassment.
It's one thing for me to throw myself under the bus...

So, here I am with my sister.
I was a freshman and she was a senior.
There are really no words...except for maybe eyebrows.


Here I am with my parents and my friend and her parents.
It was parent's night.
Both of our parents thought it was during halftime of our game.
It was between games.
Our coach walked us out.
No big deal.


Obviously, being tan in high school was not a priority...
I don't think that's a first place trophy by the looks on some of the girls faces either...


I used to run.
Sometimes I think about doing it again...
I wore my Puma's at every meet of my high school career.
They really smelled.  
I had to keep them in a zipped up bag.


 This was the sign my mom made for Senior Night.
She pretty much rocked it.


Sorry to bore you with my trip down memory lane...

8. What is your favorite picture from August?

 Max wanted to go out in the rain, but had to get his goggles first.  
Man, I love this kid.


9. What do you love most about fall?

boots, fires, new shows on TV...mainly Parenthood and drinks like this one.

10. Tell me your dream cupcake.
We haven't attempted a salted caramel buttercream at our shop.  
I think that would be delicious on a chocolate cupcake.  
Anything that is sweet and salty has my vote.  
Mainly, I asked this question to get some ideas from all of you.

You have until the 11th to get your questions answered!

10-4 Good Buddy {August Answers}


Alright, lovely ladies...can't wait to read your answers!  If you want to join the party, click here for the details.

1. What is your favorite makeup product?
I'm a pretty simple girl when it comes to makeup - face cream, mascara, sometimes some eyeliner and something shiny for my lips.  I try not to go anywhere without some type of lip gloss.  There is nothing worse {possibly a dramatic statement} then having dry lips and realizing you don't have anything to fix it.  This one is my favorite.

2. What foreign country would you like to travel to?
London...like right now...well, that's not a country, but you know what I mean...

3. What is the last package you have received in the mail?
I was in a thrifty love gift exchange and received my goodies from my new blog buddy, Ally.  You'll have to wait until next Monday to see what I got.

4. What is your favorite picture from July?

I'm cheating because this obviously is not from this July...but I did discover this picture in July...and this is my linky party, so I can do what I want.  
I love this picture {circa 1981} because I have never seen it before.  That's me in my grampa's arms.  I'm looking at my mom who is my age in this picture.  Weird.  My cousin is rocking a fabulous pose and my brother's face is priceless. 



5. What is your favorite board game?
There is nothing better than a friendly game of Monopoly with my husband...plus, I usually win.

6. What is your favorite Bible story?  Why?
Noah and the Ark- I'm amazed at the obedience of Noah when God was asking him to do something that made no sense at all.  

7. What is your favorite non-fast food restaurant? 
We frequent a pizza place here in town called Pizza Forum.  We knew we were regulars when they started bringing our drinks to the table without us having to order and calling us by name. 

8. What summer Olympics event do you enjoy watching the most?
I thought it was gymnastics, but I am a nervous wreck watching it.  If I knew everything that was going to happen, I would enjoy it so much more.  The swimming has been really fun to watch.  I'm definitely a Missy Franklin fan.

9. What is your favorite post from July?
My Portion - I love how God always knows exactly what we need at the perfect time.  By the way, not a whole lot has changed on the adoption front.  Praying for a miracle, but trusting God with his perfect plan for our family.

10. What famous person would you like to have dinner with? 
Will and Kate.  I could totally be friends with royalty...right?  Another reason I would love to go to London...

10-4 Good Buddy. {July Answers}


If you're wanting to join the party, click here for details.

1. What's your favorite free thing to do with your family?
Going to the park...although lately it's been hotter than blazes.

2. What project in your house are you wanting to get finished or...ahem....start?
Max's bedroom.  Pictures up on the walls, dresser painted, clothes switched from his old room to his current room...

3. What are your top 3 favorite phone/iPad apps?
instagram {I'm doing the photo a day challenge for the first time this month}, Jo-Ann Fabrics has an app with their coupons {I'm always forgetting my paper coupons}, and the Phone4Kids app {Max's favorite these days}

4. What is your favorite post from last month? {June}
Probably my Father's Day post - I loved the impromptu pictures that I got of Max and those two-word sentences make me smile.

5. What is your go-to fast food restaurant?  ps...I never spell resturaunt  correctly.
Chick-fil-a - nothing better in greasy-food-land than a chicken sandwich, waffle fries and a half-cut ice tea.
6. What clothing style do you love?  Find a picture on-line that describes the clothing style you like best.
My style is based on finding things on sale.

Do you have a Clothes Mentor in your area?  I just discovered the one in our town and have found some awesome deals!  It's a re-sale store that carries brands like Banana Republic, the Loft, and J. Crew.
They also give you cash for your clothes, shoes, accessories...which completely makes me uncomfortable and insecure about other people deciding whether or not my "stuff" is worthy of their store.  I did it though and walked out with forty bucks and a garbage bag full of "stuff" they didn't want.

Anyway...
Here are some summer outfits on Pinterest that caught my eye.  Simple, comfy and minimal jewelry.  I guess that's my style.





7. What attribute of God are you clinging to most these days?
GOD
IS
SOVEREIGN.
It's so comforting to know that He's got my life and my family's life under control.  This means so much to me as we are in our second adoption journey.

8. When you think of junior high, what's the first thing that comes to your mind?
 Losing my contacts all. of. the. time. {in campers, during basketball games, etc} and County Seat.  Please tell me you remember that store!!!

9. What is your favorite summer dessert?
Right now, I'm really loving our ice cream maker.  In the past week, I've made vanilla and peach ice cream.  This could become a problem...

10. What is your favorite picture from last month? {June}
I really can't get enough of this picture...


Alright ladies, get to answering!  Can't wait to get to know you better!

You have until the 11th to answer these questions...


1. What is one quirky thing about you?

The volume on the T.V. or the heat/air conditioner temperature in the car have to be set on an even number.

2. What does your perfect date look like?  {Not the person...the activity}

A picnic {in non-humid weather}, a walk and ice cream


3. What is your favorite picture from last month {April}? 


I love it when I get a picture of Max smiling...plus he's wearing his "knockers" {binoculars} shirt.


4. What are your top 3 favorite TV shows? 

Hawaii 5-0
House Hunters
Family Feud...don't judge.


5. What is your favorite outdoor activity?

This may sound strange...especially coming from me...but I just pruned some bushes for the first time, and it was surprisingly enjoyable.  That's kind of a side note, not my favorite activity.

My real favorite activity is taking walks with my family.


6. What is the last movie you saw?  

Mirror, Mirror


7. Look up from your computer right now.  What is the first thing you saw?  

my messy kitchen


8. What area in your life are you working on improving right now?

Finishing things that I start.  

If you came and looked around my house right now, you would see that I have a long way to go in this area.  I have been banned from bringing any more projects into the home until the ones I have started are completed.  I emptied all of the cabinets in our living room to clean the shelves and most of the stuff is still sitting on our dining room table.  I cleaned the shelves last week.

9.  What is your favorite post that you wrote last month?  

Just So I Don't Forget - I know it's a post that I will be so thankful that I have written 10 years from now.  I may continue to do a Just So I Don't Forget post every once in a while...

10. What would be your dream job?

I would be an anchor on the Today show...specifically Matt Lauer.  He gets to travel all over the place and meet all kinds of interesting people...and he gets to go the Olympics.
