Liebster

My friend Mikelle tagged me in the fun Liebster award! 

Here's how it works: I answer Mikelle's 11 questions, post 11 random things about myself, and then tag 5-11 other "up and coming" bloggers (with 200 followers or less). Then I will ask them 11 new questions and the craziness will continue to spread!

 It is a fun way to get to know your friends a little better and other bloggers!

Here are the answers to Mikelle's Questions! 

Her blog is: http://www.hembreehome.com/

1. What is your greatest accomplishment to date?

-Probably becoming a Mom.  Which sounds corny but it's true.

-Also I've had a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C section) which if you ask me is a huge deal. 

-I always wanted to grow up and cut hair, and I graduated Barber College in 2006 and cut hair for a few years.  If I make goals, I usually reach them.  I've very determined. 

-Buying out house in 2011 was a huge goal we reached. 



2. Gold or silver?

Am I the only one that thinks this is such a dumb question?. 

3. Who do you most look up to and why?

My husband.  He is SUCH a hard worker, he never complains.  And he is so smart.  The way he can only hear or read something once and remember it, just blows my mind.  

4. What fun summer reads should we all be enjoying?

I'm not much of a reader sadly.  When I do read I fall asleep.  I think it's because I am sitting down long enough :)  I've heard the tiger series is good.  I read my scriptures at night when I remember before I fall asleep.  Or when I am lazy enough I just play them while I get ready for the day.

5. What food or drink can you not live without?

Drink: Diet Coke.  I love diet coke.  And not just "diet coke" Mcdonalds Diet coke.  It's like liquid crack.  I am not that great at drinking water.  Although lately I suddenly have been.  I think our new filter helps :)

Food: Mexican.  And any mexican.  I love taco bell, home made tacos, cafe rio, chips and salsa, chips and queso, anything like that.  Seriously my love for mexican food is a strong addiction.  I love love love it.  No shame.  

6. Do you set yearly goals? If so, what is one of them you are hoping to accomplish before the year is up?

I do set goals.  A lot.  Like I mentioned before I am a go getter.  This year my goal was to pay my tithing ON time every single pay check.  Last year I got behind a lot and I pretty sure some wasn't paid {GASP} I know I know.  Straight to hell I go!  

I've had some strong desires to pay off debt.  But I swear every time I get the ball rolling something comes up.  Our day will come.  


7. Favorite obscure YouTube videos... Go!

Both videos contain some adult language.  So forgive me.

8. If you could have one super power what would it be and why?

I wish I could breathe underwater.  

9. What is your guilty pleasure? (i.e.: Justin Bieber, ice cream, etc.)

Cafe rio is a big guilty pleasure.  I do love ice cream but I try to keep away from it.  Regular coke :)  Kardashians.  Pinterest.  

10. Name some pet peeves that drives you crazy.
people that aren't very understanding or sympathetic 

Food smacking.  And any noise thats repatative is super annoying to me.

Meat heads at the gym.  I know you're just trying to polish your guns but you should make room for the ladies.  

People in exceptionally good shape :) We get it.  You win.

Flakey friends.

Flies!  AHHHHH.

An unswept floor.  Walking on crumbs makes my skin crawl.

Repeating myself.  To my kids that don't listen, or if I mumble.  Argh.
11. Where is the one place you feel most content?

Home on my couch.  No one has to know I am sitting in my husbands basket ball shorts with no bra or make up.

Target.  I love that stupid store.

The temple.  When I actually go.


11 Random Facts About Myself:

1. I am somewhat of a clean freak and it annoys me greatly.  I live with 2 little boys and a husband that works 13 hour days so it's all on me.  And the fact that I clean, it's gets dirty, I clean, it gets dirty.  Makes me bat crap crazy.  But I hate the mess....so I guess I better clean it up!

2. My parents were going to name me "Normandee Rose" but just call me Stormy and I am so sad they didn't.  Also I am sad that I didn't get the red hair gene.

3. I used to be a nail biter, but Kevin has broken that habbit.  And now it makes me sick to think about.

4. As much as I craft.  I sometimes loathe it.  Isn't that funny?  Sewing to me is such a pain.  Yet.  I do it.

5. I wish I could have 5 cats.  Minus the hair shedding.  Crazy cat lady I am.

6. Sometimes I wish hair color and Make up weren't invented.  I love playing with hair and make up, but I would really be interested to see what we all actually look like.  

7. I'm probably the girliest tomboy you've ever met.

8. I am mildly blanket obsessed.  I always buy new soft ones,.  I love winter because I can use as many as I want!  Summer time my blanket collection is rarely touched.  .

9. I chew on my hair.  It's a disgusting awful habbit that I am embarassed about.  

10. I love baking.  I could dedicate my whole day to baking a delicious treat.  But when it comes to cooking I kinda hate it.  I've gotten a lot better but it's still a royal pain.

11. As much as I HATE dishes and making dinner I love laundry and vacuuming.  I usually (under "normal" circumstances ) can keep on top of my laundry and never am behind.
