Blogger 411

Linking up with

from mrs to mama

for a little 411 about yours truly :)

1. How long have you been blogging? 

And what got you started on blogging? Has your blog changed?

Let's see...

I have been blogging for a little over 2 years...I think?

On FB one day, I saw Litney had a link to her blog.

Checked it out & decided I totally had to do it!

Ha, yes. I started blogging about Luke to have a keepsake 

& to keep family updated.

Now I blog about all 3 of my boys :)

2. Did you go to college? 

If so where, and what did you study?

Did I go to College??

Ha. Ha. Ha.

That is an understatement.

Yes! THREE in fact!

McKendree. Hickey. SWIC.

I'm an expert on colleges. Just not an expert on graduating.

Long story short.

I went to McKendree right out of high school.

I was not ready to go, but my parents.... insisted.

Came home after a year. (met my now hubby)

Still wanted my dream job. Decided to finish my generals at SWIC.

Then got pregnant with my Luke.

Scared shitless.

My parents and I decided to take a safe route and attend Hickey.

Even though it wasn't my first or second or third career choice.

I did it. I did it because it was a short program, 

and no matter what I had it to fall back on.

I did  actually graduate with an AA there!

Then, after being pregnant & raising a baby...

I realized it was still possible to achieve my goal.

So I went back to SWIC.

Then I had Logan.

But I still kept going.

Then got pregnant with Liam...

One day. One day.... ay ay ay!

3. Where have you traveled?

Oh my! I have actually been quite a few places!

At least 15 or so states including Hawaii. 

Paris. London. 

And JAMAICA in June!!!!! 

4. If you won the lottery, 

what would be the first thing you would buy?

I have never really thought about this.

But I think it would def have to be a vacation for all my closest 

family & friends. Especially after seeing the craziness 

some of our fellow Red Budians went through just a few short months ago!

5. What are your 3 biggest pet peeves?

Biggest?! I have a lot!! I'm a little on the OCD side.

1. LYING. Not cool. No point in it.

If you are always honest, you never have to remember what you said ;)

2.  My husband thinking it's necessary to share a cup at dinner.

Get your own fool! You know I'm going to throw a fit about it. Ugh!

3. The sound of toenails being clipped. Disgusting!!

6. What is your favorite movie?

I don't know if I have a 'favorite' movie, 

but The Blind Side was the first thing that came to my mind.

I LOVE that movie. For so many different reasons.

However, my husband always makes sure to reiterate every.single.time

we watch it 'Sarah don't get ANY ideas'. He knows me too well, ha! 

7. What is your drink of choice; wine, beer, or liquor. 

Or Water, Soda, Tea?

Oh don't do this to me!

Preggo. Tea. 

Not Preggo. Wine, beer, AND liquor.

Ha, I promise I'm not a lush.

It just depends on my mood. Really. 

Wine = when I just want to relax

Beer =  when I just want to have a good time & remember the night...

Liquor = when I am on a mission. I have been known to have straight tequila nights.

8. What is something you enjoy to do when you have me time?

Me time? What's that? Haha. No really.....

Blogging.

Mani/Pedis.

Reading.

Shopping. 

9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store,

 which store would it be?

Target! Duh!!

I could get stuff for the whole family!

And the house.

Ahhh, that would be the best thing ever!!

10. Share with us an embarrassing moment of your past?

 Or present.

Oh.Em.Gee.

Unfortunately....one comes to mind.

My MOH speech at my cousin's wedding.

I was so freakin nervous that I thought it would be a good idea...

to have a couple shots before the reception.

Needless to say, everyone & their mama (including my own!)

bought me a shot. 

I embarrassed myself.

I embarrassed my parents. 

I embarrassed my grandparents.

I AM STILL EMBARRASSED!!

Apparently the entire thing was recorded.

I don't have enough courage to watch it.

Oh well, it is in the past. My family still loves me...

And the bride & groom thought it was hilarious.

Lesson learned. NEVER again!

11. What day would you love to relive again?

Hmm.

Probably my wedding day!

It went so so so soooo fast.

And I have never felt so twitterpatted in my life.

And I loooove loooove that feeling :)

12. If your life was turned into a movie... 

what actor would play you?

Julia Roberts. Hands down!

LOVE her.

13. What are the jobs you had in

 high school/college/the early years?

Tanfastique/Mr. Video...8 years baby, 8 years!

Subway...2 years. And honestly, I loved it!

Pathways...a behavioral school as a personal aide.

LOVED it. In fact, it is where I hope to go back to once 

the boys are all in school. Ahhh, I can't wait :)

Hallmark...ya, that lasted maybe 6 months. I'm not a smock kinda girl.

The Office Bar & Grill...I have a feeling I will somehow end up working

there off/on foooorever. That's ok though, I kinda like it there :)

14. Show us a picture from high school or college.

Due to the fact that I did NOT have a digital camera in high school

or in college...And I do not have a scanner. The pictures are limited.

But I think some of you might recognize this girl...

Aww, Kati J!! My bff from Hickey :)

15. If you could travel anywhere in the world, 

all expenses paid, where would you go?

Ireland!!

I HAVE to see my favorite Irelander, Vicki.

I miss her oh so much!!

 Ireland is spectacular & I want to see for myself!!

16. Show us the most current picture of you or you, 

or your family, or anything of meaning to you. 

As good as it gets with a current family picture, haha.

Even baby Liam is in it :)

5 years from now...

THREE boys off the bottle & potty trained!!!

Celebrating 8 years of marriage.

Packing lunches & going to Christmas concerts.

Being a total football mom.
