monday morning thoughts

don't you sometimes have questions to which there probably isn't a definite answer, yet you ask anyway, hoping by some great stroke of luck you'll figure it out? well, being the detail-oriented, even slightly anal-retentive person that i am, having questions with no answers is not good enough for me. i'm hoping the universe is like a giant magic 8 ball and if i throw them out, somehow, some way, i'll get my answers (to the second questions, especially).

1. why is it that when i eat more for dinner i'm hungrier when i wake up in the morning than when i barely eat anything for dinner?

2. how old to i have to be before members of my family will understand that i am a mothercussing adult and i will make my own decisions regarding plans, life decisions, etc. without nagging from them?

3. why do people like country music? it makes me want to stab myself in the ears.

4. how come some people find potty humor amusing while others find it offensive?

5. how can little flowers turn into the most delicious tomatoes and zucchini i've ever eaten?

6. how come there isn't one little pill or one little shot i could get that would make me have zero periods for the rest of my life?

7. why do i love the taste of coconut but hate the smell of it?

8. why is it so much fun to pick skin once it starts to peel after a sunburn?

9. how come some people try to disprove anthropomorphism?

10. how do a giraffe's spots know to form in perfect little shapes that fit together like a puzzle?

11. how do flojo's feathers know which colors to be depending on where they come in on her body?

12. why is it that some people can paint and others can't?

do you have questions you've always wondered about but never had answered? i know i have tons more, but those are it for today. i'm sure in five minutes i'll think of like 14 others i should have added.

wanna know all my secrets?

that's right, i'm ready to spill (well, for the most part)! a few times before i've done posts with answers to any of your questions, and since i've gotten some new followers and commenters (thank you, thank you, thank you, comments make me happier than you can imagine) i figured i'd do it again. but, there's one thing that will be different this time around. since so many people who watched my incredibly awkward first ever vlog wanted me to do another, i figured that since i'm not sure what else i'd vlog about, i'd answer your questions! i'll plan to do the vlog one day next week when chris isn't home so i won't feel like quite as much of a fool sitting and talking into a camera!

also, i was talking to my sweet friend brittan this morning, and she echoed what i knew, the last video, even after seven takes, still didn't sound exactly like the regular me. i'll work on that for the next one so my true southern accent comes out. apparently it's camera shy or something, i don't know.

i hope you had a good weekend, and i can't wait to read the comments with your questions!

fill in the blank friday

These always look like fun, and I always enjoy reading everyone's answers, so today I'm joining Lauren and everyone else who plays! If you decide to fill in the blanks, you can leave a link in the comments, or you you leave a link on Lauren's blog.

1. If I had two hours to myself today, I'd read, call my grandma and make something .
2. If I could travel anywhere today, I would go to California .
3. There's no one thing that I could say is my happiest memory.
4. Sometimes you're shy other times you're really outspoken .
5. Beauty is just being happy and confident with exactly who you are .
6. I would be embarrassed if anyone knew that I'm scared of the dark or that I drool a little when I sleep .
7. Love at first sight is kind of shallow .

I wanted to thank everyone who commented on my last post. It really means a lot that we don't technically "know" each other, but you still care enough to send your thoughts and prayers. I knew I had the best blogger friends a girl could ask for ♥

i'm open for questions

Whew, I'm so glad it's Friday! I have lots of things to catch up on, mainly Etsy orders and SLEEP, and the fleece sheets on my bed are calling my name. I'm planning to fix something super easy for dinner so I can fall asleep on the sofa under a fluffy throw. I'm married, I'm allowed to be boring on a Friday night, plus it's too cold to go out. So, I'm following some other bloggers and telling my deepest, darkest secrets! Ask me anything you want. Seriously. Leave your question in the comments section, or send me an email!

It feels like this outside, but with rain :( not snow.

I'm hoping it will feel like this again soon.

I'll post all the questions and answers one day next week, and hopefully I will have caught up on sleep so I'll quit whining about it! I hope everyone has a fun weekend, and be sure to enter Brittan's giveaway & Kassi's giveaway!

Oh, and one last thing... I do try my best to visit blogs of everyone who comments, and then leave comments for them, but sometimes I get a little slow. I promise I'm on my way to visit if I haven't already! xoxo
