Fill in The Blank 5.6.11

1.   What I love most about my home is       our fireplace and all the beautiful woodwork  .

2.  I'm excited because,    we're hoping to get our bedroom painted this weekend and I'm really excited to see what the colors look like when it's finished  .

3.  My preferred method for blowing  off steam when I'm frustrated is     to sit and cry, there is nothing that gets frustration out better, imo   .

4.  Currently I am craving   my cup of coffee sitting on the table, my kitty is sitting on my lap and I can't reach it without making him move, which is just mean  .

5.  The thing I love most about my mom is     that she is always willing to help when needed, even when not needed :)  .

6.  If I was going to write a book about my life, the title would be     "Coming and going"   .

7.  If I were to eat one thing for the rest of eternity it would be     crab legs, period  .

This weekend FITBF is travel based... and since I've done so much traveling, I feel obligated to do it!

1.  My dream vacation would be       somewhere breathtaking.   I've always wanted to go to Australia for my honeymoon (assuming I ever get to take one), and to me that would be a dream because of everything that goes into it (being based on spending time in a beautiful place with my husband).  HOWEVER... Steve and I are planning a trip to Hawaii winter 2011, and I think that is going to be a little bit of a dream too!  I'm so excited and can't wait to make that a reality      .

2.  The best trip I've ever taken was      its tough to decide between spending a drunken week with my mom, my brother and one of my best girlfriends in Cancun or spending a romantic long weekend in Napa.  I've been several places in the name of love and while those were all great trips it hard to not say that getting up on a stage at a Mexican Resort dancing to "Follow The Leader" was anything but amazing.  Mexico is amazing, I'll pick Mexico   .

3.  The most important items to take on a road trip are      mad libs, snacks, lots of good music, camera, and an atlas   .

4.  The next trip I'm looking forward to is       probably Hawaii.  We've agreed to save our moneys for Hawaii, which means no trips, although we do have some camping planned this summer and we have talked about taking a trip to Chicago area to tackle Six Flags  .

5.  If I had to pick one CD to listen to for a long road trip it would be     Eminem.  I can listen to him over and over and over... and over.  Which CD, you ask?  I'd say his latest disc; Relapse   .

6.  The biggest disaster I've ever encountered while traveling  was     nothing really.  Other than a lost bag, which wasn't really that big of a deal.   Or maybe the one time that the weather in Minnesota was so bad (snow, ugh), that I got stuck for another night in San Fran... not a horrible place to be stuck   .

7.  My favorite traveling memory is      probably the road trip I took with Erin and K.. we drove from Minneapolis, up through to North Dakota, and all the way across to Seattle, then down through Portland, into San Fran.  From SF we drove down to LA/Hollywood/Venice Beach, then we stopped through Vegas on the way back up to Minnesota.  While we were in Montana we took a wrong turn and ended up on some dirt road... upon trying to pull over and ask a passing card for help the car sees us and just waves as they drive by... LOL... it was the funniest thing ever (maybe you had to be there)... we finally found another car who told us exactly what we needed to do.  The lady was even nice enough to wait for us by the turn we needed to take, to make sure we didn't miss it.  Best road trip ever!      .

1.  The very best thing about the summer is      camping and campfires.  I love being up in Northern Minnesota under the stars with friends, we are limited to the months of nice weather, so enjoying it while we can is a MUST   .

2.  My first crush ever was      a super hot guy named Austin.  He was literally the hottest guy in the 4th grade... EVERY girl wanted to be his girl friend.... oh the memories .

3.  This may sound really silly but       I sleep on my couch.  I have a bed, I just don't use it.  I'll post more about it in the coming picture posts   .

4.  I squeeze my toothpaste from       the bottom, if I'm using a tube.  I've been using that new toothpaste, it's in a... canister type thing, no squeezing necessary with that one... and the toothpaste is amazing!   .

5.  My absolute favorite "comfort food" is     probably chips... or chex mix... well, anything salty really.  What can I say...   .

6.  A random fact about me is that      I never want to have kids.  I feel like it's a completely selfish decision and I feel horrible, but I just don't want them   .

7.  The one piece of technology that truly makes my life better and I couldn't live without is      Tivo.  I value my TV time.  I keep drama out of my personal life as much as I possibly can, so I NEED the TV to get the drama elsewhere      .

Blank Friday 4.30

I need a mindless activity after this week; I present to you Fill in The Blank Friday: Movies

1.  My absolute favorite movie of all time is      The Wizard of Oz - it's beautiful.  My favorite part is when she walks out of her house, into a world full of color   .

2.  My favorite movie as a child was      "Annie".Same as above, but "Annie" was a close second.  I loved singing the songs and watching Annie run around that big huge house!  Oh and how can I forget "we love you Miss Hannigan" .

3.  The best movie quote ever is       hard to pick!  I love the lines in Adam Sandler's older movies... like "stop lookin' at me swan!" or "he called the shit 'poop'"    .

4.  My favorite actress is     probably Jennifer Aniston.  I just think she is so pretty.  Also     My favorite actor is       Nick Cage (LOL)... Edward Norton   .

5.  The movie I could watch over and over is    Any Lord of the Rings Movie.   .

6.  My favorite movie genre is      comedy, action, or ... well... anything really.  I love all movies - not so much for the romantic comedies though, I'm just over watching the same story   .

7.  A movie I'd like to watch this weekend is      The new 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' - quickly... I used to LOVE these movies as a kid.  I have no interest in supporting the new movies (especially since it's a Michael Bay film)... but I can't NOT see it... I already know it's going to suck, but I just HAVE to see it.  So dumb    .

Fill in The Blank 4.23.10

With Friday comes Fill in The Blank Friday over at Laurens place... I wonder if Lauren had any idea what she was starting?  Happy Friday everyone!

1.  One song that always takes me back to my youth is     "Hangin Tough" by The New Kids On The Block (better known as KNOTB).  It was around the time when boys became of interest to me and Donnie Wahlberg was just beyond what I wanted in a man (or so I thought at the time)   .

2.  My first concert ever was     New Kids on The Block at the Minnesota State Fair... see above explanation  .

3.  If I could create my dream music festival I'd want these bands to be there:     Eminem, Tupac, Dr. Dre, Sevendust, Hollywood Undead    .

4.  The best make-out/"boot knocking" song ever is    "Nice and Slow" by Usher - listen to it and you'll understand  .

5.  The best concert I've ever been to was     Hollywood Undead.  It was actually just this past fall (2009) and it was absolutely amazing.  I hadn't been to a concert for quite some time before that, so maybe it was because I was old (or had a nice buzz)... second place goes to Eminem... I'd pay top dollar to see him any day of the week   .

6.  A memorable musical moment for me was        I guess I don't really have one that sticks out more than others.  I've loved every Sevendust show, because they simply rock the house.  Being within touch of Nelly Furtado at one of her shows and getting her autograph at another was amazing (she is so little and soo pretty!).  Deep down though, I'm a gangster rapper, so any show that has allowed me to display my skill in front of thousands of people has to be a highlight... wait, I guess I was only in the crowd, not on stage... I guess my fantasy took that one over   .

7.  The song on my iPod that's getting the most play these days is      well, I don't really do the ipod thing, but the CD that gets played most in my car right now is the 2 newest Eminem CD's... pretty sure he is my favorite of all time    . 

Fill In The Blank Friday

It's rare that I blog on Friday's, having the day off I don't have a computer in front of me 24/7... HOWEVER... I've found this little gem of a blog feature called "Fill in the Blank Friday" - which a few of my blogging buddies have done in the past.  Thought this week would be a good week to try it for myself.  It's a neat way for you peeps to learn a bit about me... and an excuse to get a blog posted on Friday's :)

So without further ado; Fill in the Blank Friday!

1.  The first thing I do in the morning is     use the little girls room   .

2.  Every night before bed  I     check Facebook, triple check that my alarm is set, lay down and call for my cat (if he's not already with me) .

3.  My favorite thing to do when I'm having a bad day is      cry... no matter how serious the things bringing me down are.. crying always makes me feel better   .

4.  Something that makes me cringe is   centipedes  .

5.  Social situations    are fun and sometimes a great excuse to get dressed up and pretty :)   .

6.  I like to collect      shot glasses and dolphins - I have a shot glass from every state I've been to (upwards of 30), and I have a decent collection of dolphin figurines  .

7.  Weekends are for      catching up on sleep, cooking breakfast with the boyfriend, and overall just enjoying life!
