You guys asked me tons of questions and I love it! Ready for tons of answers??
Mmmkay. Let’s go!
Lindsey @ Mommywonderland asked: What kind of perfume do you own? I’m looking for a new scent and could use some “options?”
My favorite is Kenneth Cole Black. I also still love Clear Water, like 10 years after I started wearing it. Hehe.
I usually take Fashion Friday pics on Wednesday or Thursday. Or maybe the weekend before when we went out for dinner or something. Usually though, I am headed to playgroup, Target, or Joann’s. You know, the usual. I was dressing all comfy when I first had Cooper, then suddenly I got really tired of never wearing any of my clothes. It isn’t much harder to get dressed up, and I just generally feel better when I do. Besides, leggings are just as, if not more, comfortable than sweats!
I was 17 and my dad was a children’s pastor in FL. There was a couple (Mark and CA) that were going to ministry school and working with him there. CA’s brother came from NY to visit them, and they told him they had a girl for him to meet. He joked that he could be my dad, I was underage, robbing the cradle, and on and on. Whatevs. One look at me and he was hooked. Teehehe. That was April 2002, we officially started dating in November, (long distance) he gave me some shiny diamonds in July, then we got married December 3, 2005. Oh, yeah, by then, I was 21.
List and list of crossed out names, X’s over every name in the “10,000 Baby Names Book”, and arm wrestling. It was literally the ONLY boy name we agreed on, along with one girl name. After we decided, we found out it was a name on my mom’s side of the family, so we were really happy. His middle name is the same as the hubs middle name.
Rachel @ The McMommy Diaries asked: What is the update on the thyroid and are you/can you run anymore?
The thyroid is finally back to normal! Whoot! I take meds every day, but I have a whole year on this dose before I have to go back for another check-up! I haven’t run regularly since the roid rage. I really want to get back into it, but the timing is just crappy with moving. After next week, my jogger will be out from under a pile of boxes, and we’re taking off!
Also, if Alabama goes to the National Championship in Pasadena, we are going, how far away are you? and would you want to meet up? 🙂
I am about 4 hours away, but…YES, YES, YES!!
Oh… do you have a favorite pair of shoes?
Um, how about multiple favs? Right now it’s my black booties. Or new brown boots (that match yours!).
What does Hubs do? He’s a sales manager for an appliance company.
Nicoolmama at What a long strange trip it’s been asked: What do you do to stay in such great shape or are you one of those people that it comes easily to?
Amber @ A Glimpse into my Thoughts asked: How do you stay adorable and skinny after having a baby? I know that may seem silly but you still look 21 and freaking skinny! I’m SO freaked out to have kids because I’m terrified of losing my body.
Well, girls, lets just say clothes hide alot! Ha! I ran before I was pregnant and until I felt like the baby was going to fall out on the sidewalk. I really believe that helped me get back to my pre-baby body. My hubby and I have been doing P90X and it’s amazing. I would MUCH rather work out than watch what I eat, so I really try to work out. My eating habits are non-awesome!
Old School or more recently, Four Christmas’. Can ya tell I LOVE Vince Vaughn?
Becky @ Becky’s Photography asked: I need help putting together an outfit to wear to court for the divorce…What would you suggest? Please take into consideration I have very little curves and cannot afford a suit and don’t like to wear pantyhose.
Becky! I love ya. Wear a black dress or black skirt and top. You can totally wear heels without pantyhose, get you some long pearls from Forever 21, and RED lips! Classy, and sexy!
Ashley @ Ashley Amazing asked: What are your go-to shoes when not given the option to wear stilettos? Include pictures!
These were my go to shoes all summer.
All my favs for the winter so far are heels, like these!
I am a southern gal, though, and love me some flip flops! The hubs has 13” on me so heels are usually my thang!
Angie @ Seven Clown Circus asked: What aspect of motherhood was/is most surprising to you?
The constant need of such a little person! It is a more than a full time job, but more fulfilling than I ever dreamed. I didn’t know I had so much love to give!
Jessica @ Mommy Needs Coffee! asked: What are the top few things you can’t live with out on the daily basis?
Coffee!! 2-3 cups every morning. My blackberry, NickJr, and mascara.
Kara @ His, Hers and Ours asked: How big of a family would you and hubs like to have?
Given the complete disagreement on baby names, we’re screwed if we have more! Kidding. I don’t know the answer to that. We thought we wanted 2-3, but are finding ourselves completely content with our 1 right now.
Well, there you have it! Thanks for your fun questions. Love you all!
I've been waiting all weekend for this! Yay! ( That sounds a little sad now that I have typed it out….)
Great post. I loved you answers.
Thanks for answering! It's nice to read all the random bits of info!
LoVeD this!!
I heart Vince as well….cute AND funny 🙂
Love your answers, especially to my question! I was wondering if maybe you just got all dressed up, took the pictures and then took it all off again! 🙂
Loved learning so much about you!! 🙂
I was wondering what you were doing with all our questions!! P.S love that mine was first!(luck of the draw I know, but I feel special!) I am totally going to check out black!!! Thanks friend! This was a great idea!!
I have not seen four Christmases, heard it was good and I too love me some Vince.
I really enjoyed this post. I am a sucker for how people meet their husbands or wives. Keep up the great blogging. Oh BTW have you ever shopped at H&M? If not you should check it out.
They have cute clothes!
Love the Q&A's. Lots of fun!
I also really love that you decided to dress for yourself. It really does improve my mood too if I am in something that looks halfway decent. And I am LOW maintenance…he used to take longer to get ready then I did. LOL
Crap! I forgot to come up with a question! But I love your answers!
I love those boots!!! I'm with you on the things you can't live without…except the NickJr part which i'm sure will be added to my list when we have a little one 🙂
love your answers! the how i met the hubby one is the best. i see why he got "hooked" 😉
ps. yes you too can have fergie hair. jane salon in sac. ask for holly!
I so jealous that you get to wear heels! When the hubs and I first met he was taller than me by like an inch – ha! However, after 6 years, he is now the same height as me. Insert super sad face. I have a lot of heels that I'll never be able to wear with him because I have this complex about being taller than my man. It goes back to the days of middle school and me being taller than all the boys. Booo!
Thanks for answering my question. 🙂 I loved reading this. I just might have to do a q&a on my blog too!
Oh my! I would love to look s pretty as you when I run errands, LOL!
