Boss Sanders

First, the questions you all asked:

1.  Since you like books, and questions, I love book recommendations. What are some REALLY good ones you’ve read lately?  I guess that would depend on what type of book you are wanting to read…  One of my all-time favorite authors is Janet Evanovich (look for her series with the number in them).  She has some hilarious stuff.

2.  I got one: Why did you cut your hair so short?   lol I haven’t had my hair cut in a long time and really needed a trim at the very least before our trip.  And, then…OPTION A won.  So, that’s what I did.  I DID get it a tad longer than option A, though

3.  what is your favorite mistake? This one actually stumps me.  Most of the mistakes that I recall made me feel really crappy.  So, a good one?  I have no clue!  With that said, I think all of my mistakes are chances to grow…

4.   What do you think of little white lies? Theoretically speaking, I think they are okay.  Realistically…I think they teeter to much on a very fine line - and it’s hard for individuals to not cross the line.  Personally, I either avoid the question, talk around it, or totally change the subject if I don’t want to lie about something (even white lies)…or I will tell a truth that doesn’t exactly answer the original question but is so close that people usually don’t catch it.  I’ve been hurt so much by lies and betrayal, I try to live my life as honestly as I can.

5. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Somewhere warm where hurricanes don’t hit, no crime, and little to no allergies.  And, I’d want my parents to live within 2 hours at least.  My family is probably the only reason we haven’t ever packed up to leave to CA or FL or GA or Hawaii…

6 flip flops or high heels?  I’m short, so I do love high heals that don’t cut into my feet…and as long as I’m not wearing them to church and don’t have to walk in the grass!  I also really like flip flops!

7. - 9. You’re stranded on a deserted island with no hope in sight of rescue.
Who’s with you (real or fiction. Be honest – doesn’t have to be a family/spouse. Remember – you’re gonna be on the island for a long long long time.)  MacGuyver.  Only - can he look like Jenson Ackles?  *swoons*

You managed to salvage your cd player. What cd is in it?  Hopefully a cd on how to survive on a deserted island.  But, seeing as how I don’t own one of those…it’d be a mix CD…with Rascall Flatts, Taylor Swift, and a variety of other music artists (with some praise songs thrown in)

You also managed to salvage 1 dvd. What dvd is it?  One question.  Why am I carrying a DVD around with me?  And, does it matter if I have no DVD player?  Or electricity?  With all of that aside…I really want to see Enchanted.

10. What is one secret that nobody knows about you?  If there is a secret about me that NOBODY knows about me…then I don’t know it either.  I’m that open and honest.  HOWEVER…I tend to break up my secrets….so no ONE person really knows them ALL (with the exception of MAYBE Steven).  And then, God of course.  You ask, I tell.  I’m still learning to trust people to not run away when I tell my deepest secrets…that, and I’m not sure many people care. - Which could leave anyone a bit hesitant.

11. What are you afraid of?  Losing the people I love.  If you only knew how these thoughts grip me.

12.  Would you rather have a book deal, record deal or movie deal? A very high-paying movie deal…costarring with Jensen Ackles.  Ha!

And now, for the randoms….

13.  I graduated high-school at age 17 with a semester of college FINISHED.

14.  As a kid, I got teased ALOT.  I HATED recess in Elementary school.  I would beg my teachers to let me go do my homework inside.  They wouldn’t let me, so instead, I tried to stay out of sight on the playground as to not be bullied.

15.  I confronted some of my Elementary bullies in HS…they didn’t remember and couldn’t believe they did what they did.

16.  I took Calculus in college for FUN.  It wasn’t required for what I was going for.

17.  I dropped out of college at Junior status to be a stay at home wife.

18.  I can cook, but choose to not do so very often.  I don’t want to add to the list of what’s expected from me every day - and I HATE cooking without creativity.  And, we don’t have the cash to do really creative stuff that I know HOW to do.  HOWEVER, next month, we’re going to try to switch things up a bit - which will bring me into the kitchen to help cook with meals…as a team.

19.  I love theatre.  I love watching and I love acting - although I may not be too great at it.

20.  I love arts and crafts because it gives me the freedom to create.  I love being able to look at things and saying…”Hey, I could do that!” and then, doing it.  It really comes in handy when I can MAKE something for a fraction of the cost.

21.  I love to travel but don’t get to do so very often.  And, I’m really starting to look forward to our Jamaica trip more and more.

22.  Random acts of kindness mean the world to me.  And yes, I am *that* girl that would invite a beggar to have lunch with me.

23.  It seems like after almost 3 really, really hard years, my marriage is where it should be.  And I thank God.  And my husband.

24.  I love my friends.  Online, offline, the ones that are related to me, and the ones that are not.  I love you all.  You mean the world to me.  All of you.

25.  I love throwing my parties.  I love the planning, I love the decorating, I love the creativity.

26.  I’m a certified wedding planner.  I pursued it for a VERY short time before realizing that to do that sort of job in THIS area…would mean to go broke.  Most everyone wants FRUGAL…which means: no wedding planner.  Bummer.  I’d be good at it too…even the frugal weddings.

27.  I read into people’s actions and what they say.  I study it, I mull it over…and sometimes, I obsess.  I wish I didn’t.

28.  I’m afraid.  Some days I’d love to shout out all of my “secrets” to anyone…but I’m too afraid of rejection.  So, I don’t.

29.  I hate taking baths.  Why?  I don’t know.  I get hot and feel like I have better things to do.  That - and, my tub isn’t really a comfortable place to read.  I’d rather sit up in bed with candlelight and music…or something.

30.  I’m fascinated with cooking from scratch these days.  I love the idea that I can make so much stuff with so few ingredients…

31.  I hate the theory that if something doesn’t kill us, it must be okay.  Do people know how stupid they sound when they say that?  -That, and how people think that if something wasn’t safe, the government wouldn’t allow it.  Mmkay.  Did you know people used to use lysol as a douche?  The government let them sell it like that…and how safe do you think that was?

32.  I love helping people and listening to them vent.  BUT, not if it’s the same thing everytime and they COULD help themselves, but don’t.  That just frustrates me.

33.  I hate being ignored.

34.  If I think you are ignoring me or being a jerk, I’ll get defensive and I’ll withdraw from you.  My mind would rather leave you than be left.

35.  I am Catholic, but that doesn’t mean I believe what ever the Catholic church tells me to believe.  I do my own thinking and think no religion is perfect.  We all have only a piece of the puzzle.

36.  I don’t wear “whitie tidies” or “boxers”.  Ha.  I’m thinking I’m not telling you what I really do wear.

37.  I love getting mail.  Even better, I love “care packages”…heck, or just packages!

38.  I’m actually really excited to be organizing my house.  It’s not that it was over-cluttered…I just wanted a bit more organization.

39.  I have this complex.  Well, I think I have many.  One of which is…  I feel compelled to scrub my floors every other day and vacuum twice I day.  I fight the urge, however…and do not.

40.  Just because I have a rather high moral code doesn’t mean I’ll judge you for doing something different.  It’s not my job and I don’t want that responsibility.  I don’t have to agree with you, but I try not to judge either…just try not to make me do it with you.

41.  I tried pot in high school.  It gave me green boogers.  I didn’t like it.

42.  I’ve never really tried any other drugs - nor do I wish to.

43.  Nana has me on a Bare Minerals kick.  I really want some, now.  Especially the eye colors.  I have the coolest Nana ever.

44.  I want 5 kids.  I really, really do.  And - I think Steven has finally accepted it.

45.  I want to homeschool said 5 kids.  Not, out in the boondocks type homeschool and farming.  I mean, we go to a classroom with other homeschool kids once a week, and the rest of the week, I teach them.  I remember being bored in some of my subjects at school.  I want to be able to cater to each of my children’s individual needs.  I love learning and I can’t wait!

46.  Things like secret tunnels and rooms fascinate me.

47.  I love colors.  Our room is blue, our kitchen is a citrus-y green, and our living room is dark red.  We’re not finished painting the house per se…but we got tired of doing it ourselves.  It’s not fun.  But I love how the rooms make me feel!

48.  I have a love/hate relationship with myself.  I pretend to have confidence, but I can’t really say that I think I’m hawt.  Or even close.  If I were to draw a picture of how I see me…it would probably very distorted.  I know this, and yet…it doesn’t make me feel any better.

49.  I’ve almost died at least 3 times…that I know of.

50.  I love large bookstores and craft stores…oh man, how I love them…and fabric stores!!

51-100 - Help me out.  I need more questions!  Anything you want to know about me?
