Mallorie from Happy Home tagged me in a MeMe, and since I’m lacking in inspiration I thought I would play along.
11 Randoms About Me
1. I get super crazy about having a clean floor right after I’ve swept and mopped. I will literally get down on my hands and knees and pick up little bits of dirt or whatever is tracked in the house. It is absolutely insane.
2. I never wake up on time. An alarm is just a suggestion, right? Who wants to be on time, anyway? Make an entrance!
3. I am a huge fan of the Transformers movies. Jason and I watched the most recent movie this weekend, and I cried when I thought Bumblebee was going to die. I do believe I screamed “Noooooooooo! Not Bumblebeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” as I ugly cried.
4. I buy salad greens every time I go to the grocery store, intending to get my salad on, but those greens end up turning brown and slimy in my produce drawer. Good intentions and all that.
5. It drives me crazy when Cooper tells me no. I mean, I know every parent doesn’t want their child to tell them no, but I think I probably take it to another level. I float above myself when it happens and I actually see myself becoming my mother. “Don’t you tell me no, Mister! I AM YOUR MOTHER!”
6. I am a diehard Republican, but I have 0 interest in the Republican candidates. Political rant: While I think Gingrich has the best hope of actually balancing the budget, I think he’s a bit of a douche. Jason says that shouldn’t matter but it does. Cheater cheater and all that.
7. I am horrible about buying picture frames and never placing pictures in them. Jason forced me to go and get pictures printed before Christmas since we were hosting Christmas Eve dinner. He said he was embarrassed. Whatevs, Jason. Step one is the picture frame. Step 20 is the picture.
8. My house is only truly clean when I know someone is coming to visit.
9. My method of cleaning is to move things from room to room, until it finally ends up in the final room and I’m forced to put it all away. When I clean the kitchen, I put everything that doesn’t belong in the living room. What doesn’t belong gets moved to the stairs, and so on and so forth. I’m really just moving messes around the house, but it works for me.
It would literally make my year if Kim would rip off her wig and show us her real hair.
I used to spend a lot of time daydreaming about being a contestant on shows like American Idol, The Voice, etc. Now I daydream about being the parent of the winner of American Idol. In every situation where someone achieves something or wins something, I think how proud of a parent I would be if that was Cooper.
Mallorie's Questions
1. If you could live anywhere where would that be?
If money was no object, I’d have a beach house on Edisto Island, and I’d live in Columbia, SC or Charleston, SC.
2. What is your favorite board game?
Life.
3. What is your favorite season?
Winter. It goes far too quickly in SC/GA.
4. If you had to choose would you rather have a perfectly cleaned house each day OR never have to cook again?
Ooh, this is a hard one. I’d choose the perfectly cleaned house, though.
5. If you found out that you had unlimited funds and money was no longer a problem what is the first thing you would buy?
I’d pay off all our debt and I’d probably buy new cars for Jason and I – something bigger for me and more fuel efficient for me.
6. Do you get a bigger rush from a big splurge or finding a great deal?
I’m an impulse shopper… so really, both.
7. How do you sleep at night? Side, back, tummy?
I sleep on my left side.

I love Real Housewives of Atlanta and New Jersey.

Probably my pregnancy posts or my post about depression.

Nails!
I'm being lame and not tagging anyone... but feel free to play along if you would like!

Step one is the frame, step 20 is the picture. Okay I admit I burst out laughing at that one and JW came running to see what was so funny.
I got tagged for this. Trying come up with 11 things about me. That's gonna be a toughie.
I like having a clean floor too. It never seems to stay that way for long though. And my house is also never truly clean unless I know someone is coming for a visit. And then I clean from top to bottom and still worry that it's not clean enough.
I totally do the same thing with salad greens. I envision the beautiful salads I'm gonna make and how wonderful they'll taste. And yet, it never seems to happen. Because along with all the good stuff, I buy all the crap too.
I had a shitload of picture frames. One friend apparently has this NEED to buy them for me or something because every gift she gets me includes at least one picture frame. And I have yet to use even one of them. She doesn't come over often but when she does, she never asks about them. And oddly, she doesn't have that many pictures or frames at her own house so I don't know why she always gets them for me. I usually either re-gift them or toss them because I don't have anything to put in them. And there ain't no way in HELL I'm puttin' my own pix in them and hanging them up on the wall!
Which Kim are you referring to? Kim Kardashian? She really needs to cut that hair and do something wiht it.
I'm an impulse buyer too.
Sorry I'm just now seeing this!!! :-) Love that you played along! I usually don't do these either but I was lacking in a blog post idea so I played along ;-)
