Now that everyone has stopped doing these, I guess I'll go ahead and post mine

Recently (or not so recently maybe), I have been nominated by a few sweet ladies for the Liebster Award. Basically, you must answer eleventy billion questions about yourself and then ask just as many to other folks that you nominate. I exaggerate... It's only 11 questions and facts. But I have this general feeling that no one wants to read 50 facts about me. I honestly can't come up with that many things anyway. Unless we list every type of chocolate I like and why, the one peanut butter I'm addicted to and why (it's Planters, by the way), and how, if I could change one single stinkin' thing about my house, I would make the stairs not creak. Great alarm system, horrid for keeping sensitive sleepers asleep. Ok let's get to the Liebster thing. I think I am just going to answer questions that I have witty answers for. But of course.

Kathryn asked:
Where did you attend college?
Well Kathryn, as much as I love yelling "War Eagle," I have to be honest with you. I actually attended two schools. First, I did two years at Troy University. Yes, you read that right. Before I bled orange and blue, I was yelling "Go Trojans!" and living in a very creepy dorm with my best friend from high school. You might have one of these schools in your town, possibly in a strip mall even. They seem to be cropping up everywhere. But I went to the ORIGINAL Troy University in Troy, Alabama. Not Troy-Dothan, or Troy-Montgomery, or Troy-Taiwan. Troy-Troy. What led me there? Free tuition. But then I got the feeling that I did not want to major in chemistry (firstly, because I do not like chemistry, secondly, I kind of always smelled like rotting eggs after leaving the chem lab. Nothankyou). So I transferred to Auburn University. There, I lived in a trailer or two, met my husband, got my degree in Exercise Science, and then a secondary MRS degree.

What annoys you most about milspouse bloggers?
Ugh, what really annoys me is how they turn out to be such great friends, true battle buddies, and then don't live where I live. How dare you all for being so nice and not living next-door to me.

Allison asked:
What was your very first post (link to it)?
Here it is:
http://lifewiththelieutenant.blogspot.com/2011/01/now-he-sleeps.html
I was clearly a sleep-deprived mess at this point. I just started talking to the internet- no introductions, no real purpose, just whining about my lack of sleep. (And OMG look at how teeny weeny Sammy was! Bless his heart, still reeling from the baby acne.)

What unique item do you always keep in your fridge?
Lately, a quarter, a pacifier, an unidentified fuzzy substance in a jar of pasta sauce, and liquid-y feta cheese. Also, usually Sam. He is fascinated with picking his own grapes out of the bowl and generally treating the open fridge door like a personal invitation to an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Bonnie asked:
What is your favorite season?
My favorite season is, by far, fall. (Mainly because it is the gateway season to winter.) Not 80-something-degrees fall, but actual fall. Leaves-changing-colors-and-falling-off-the-trees, pumpkin-candle-burning, cool-enough-to-not-sweat-through-your-shirt FALL. Anyone that is still lusting after summer needs to do a good 8 months of *super-fun summer* time in the South. Sweating and bug bites and coating multiple layers of sunscreen on squirmy children cannot be classified as fun. I am so sorry, summer lovers. Also, if you care to learn more about my hatred of hot weather in general, you can click on the label "I hate the heat" in the sidebar. You're welcome.

Bethany asked:
What is one hot-button issue you wish everyone would just shut up about?
Honestly, the only place I see any "hot-button issues" is twitter. And I just ignore it all. I got off Facebook many moons ago because I'm sick of what that website does to people. But here I go creating hot-button issues of my own. To answer the question at hand- I wish everyone would just shut up about politics and how other people choose to live their lives. Let's strive for peace. I hope that is specific enough, yet also too vague to piss anyone off. Also, vote for me as Miss America 2013. Peace, love, and big hair, y'all.

What would your significant other say is your best quality?
"Bodacious Bahama Mamas." And that is a direct quote from the man himself. I also have a brain and seem to take decent care of our children too, for what it's worth.

Kiki asked:
Do you prefer sweet or salty?
Yes.
And I'll have a glass of wine with that too.
