We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming..

6.14.2017

I've gotten into a rut lately of just posting life updates, which is fine, that's what my blog is mostly for, but I thought I'd ignore the backlog of photos on my phone and do a fun little questionnaire just to switch things up.

Look Ma! No hands! My baby belly is like a hydration station.


1.What bill do you hate paying the most?  
Anything car-related - I realize how essential the car is to our daily lives, but replacing a Johnson rod for $4k or buying new tires is such a drag.

2.Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner? 

Hmmm... given that we haven't been on a date in well over a year, I'd say probably somewhere in South Korea. 

3. What do you really want to be doing right now? 

Sleeping, eating, or lying on a beach somewhere with no responsibilities aka children

4. How many colleges did you attend? 

two

5. Why did you choose the shirt you have on now? 

Mostly because it covers the majority of my belly and somewhat matches my shorts

6. Thoughts on gas prices now? 

Not terrible! I think I was in high school when gas went to $2/gallon, so to be $2.05/gallon now doesn't seem too shabby. It's a damn shame that my suburban wants like, 40 gallons though. Then things get shabby reeeeeeal quick-like.

7. First thought when the alarm goes off in the morning?
 

Since my alarm is a child screaming to be lifted out of a crib and there is no snooze? First thought is usually, "Shit, I shoulda went to bed earlier." Second thought immediately following, "I gotta peeeeeeee!!!!"

8. Last thought you have before you go to bed? 

"Shit I shoulda went to bed earlier. Dammit I need to pee one more time."

9. Do you miss being a child? 

every damn day

10. What errand/chore do you despise the most? 

Probably the entire laundry process, despite machines doing most of the work for me. Why are there so many steps?? #lazy

11. Up early or sleep in? 
My reality is up early, my fantasy is sleeping in.

12. Found love yet? 
four (almost five) times over

13. Favorite lunch meat? 

Pregnant Jenny wants garlic bologna (but hasn't gotten it), but regular Jenn settles for roasted garlic herb chicken (whatever cheap brand the commissary deli carries)

14. What do you get at Walmart every time?
 

We normally don't go to Walmart, but they're the only store around here that sells the Luna protein bars that we like, so every time I go, I pick up a few boxes.

15. Beach or lake? 

Definitely beach - I feel dirty just thinking about a lake.

16. Is marriage outdated? 

If being in an outdated marriage is wrong, then I don't wanna be right.

17. What famous person would you like to have dinner with?

Famous people are so strange, I'm not sure I'd want to waste a dinner with one of them, to be honest. Maybe the Pope? I have so many questions. But then I'd have very little time to eat. And if the food isn't that great, that's fine, but I'm assuming if I'm having dinner with someone famous, then the food is fabulous, in which case, I'd rather not spend time talking because I could be eating really great food cooked by someone else. Which is a rarity for me. So I guess I have lots of conditions surrounding this dinner, so good thing it's only hypothetical, right?

18. Ever crashed your vehicle? 

Only once. But sadly, it was the greatest vehicle ever - baby blue Chevy station wagon aka The Low Rider.

20. Strangest place you've brushed your teeth? 

Who knows?? A boat? An airport? This question should be stricken from the record it's so dumb.

21. Somewhere you've never been but want to go? 

Tahiti*/Fiji*/Marshall Islands*
(*no children)

22. At this point in your life would you want to start a new career? 

There are plenty of times when that looks ridiculously appealing. Lunch breaks, SOLO bathroom breaks, hell, a break period. I normally think about job hunting when I get tunnel vision about being a stay at home mom and how this phase will never. ever. end. But eventually I snap out of it and realize that these babies are growing into children and one day this career I've got won't be so hands on and so incredibly labor intensive and there will come a time when I'm not growing someone on my front while holding another on my hip and maybe (or so I'm told) I'll miss it. 

23. How old are you? 

30 (in my mind I still feel 24)

24. Do you have a go to person?
 

Yes. A few. And I feel sorry for them/pray for them all the time for having to be my go to persons.

25. Are you where you want to be in life? 
I trust that I'm where I'm supposed to be. I don't have a lot of free time to think about where I'd rather be (outside of #21, of course) but I know that things always work out and where we are is always the best place to be.

26. Growing up what were your favorite cartoons? 

Scooby Doo, Jetsons, Flintstones

27. What about you do you think has changed since you were a teenager? 

Gah, probably maturity level, perspective, and the size of my ass. (not happy about that last one)

28. Looking back at high school were they the best years of your life? 

I think they were really fun, but I'd never go back in time to repeat them, so I guess that's a no from me. Currently looking at our Korea years through rose-tinted glasses. 

29. Are there times you still feel like a kid? 

Pretty much every single day. I wonder what my mom's making us for dinner, when I'll be done with this exhaustingly long babysitting gig (seriously though, is their mother ever coming home?!), and just know that my dad already checked the front door to make sure it's locked before bed. I'm too young to be worrying about any of that stuff!

30. Did you have a pager? 

I never had a pager back when pagers were a thing but I pretty much treat the phone part of my iPhone as a pager. Mailbox is intentionally full, send a text, please stop calling me, I never possess the free time to sit around and talk at leisure. Unless you are my mother, in which case, I know you don't mind hearing all the background noise that my children produce.

31. Was there a hangout spot when you were a teenager?
 

I'm not sure. I was too busy being a band nerd or working or volunteering to get Honor Society points.

32. Were you the type of kid you'd want your children to hang out with?
 

Yes, absolutely. Until about 16 and then no absolutely not.

33. Was there a teacher or authority figure that stood out to you? 
Just my mama! The best teacher I'm lucky enough to still have. 

34. Do you tell stories that start with when I was your age? 

Only in front of Steve so I can get a gratuitous laugh, and only when Sam starts acting like the 80s were the Stone Ages.

  1. The Low Rider! Haha I love it. I was a band nerd too. The other night Matt was talking about his high school varsity baseball days and all that went along with that and I was thinking how my marching band days sound that much nerdier compared to that.

  2. Beach vacay without kids sounds like a dream trip to me! I do recall telling my brother in law "I have tee shirts older than you." Sadly its true.
