1. If you could have your dream job, what would it be?
OK honestly?! This is going to sound really cliche, but I really believe I'm doing my dream job right now. I love being a stay at home mom. I think I've had pretty cool/interesting jobs in the past. Working at the court was so exciting and always had crazy things happening, but it got monotonous and inmates smell really bad. Working for the City Council was also cool, I liked knowing what was going on in the City, but at the same time I kinda hated the job. I worked at a bank all through college, and I wasn't fond of the job but LOVED the people I worked with. I miss them all the time. But when it comes right down to it, there isn't a job I'd love to do other than stay home with Dottie. I've basically looked forward to being a stay-at-home mom since I was 5, and believe me. It's as great as I always thought it would be.
2. Who is your style icon?
This cracks me up. I don't think I've really had style a day in my life. I don't ever really look at people and think of them as my icon. If I had money to have "style" I still think I'd dress in REI, Columbia, Athleta, Nike and Keen. haha! How's that for style?? I got to dress up for work for 11 years straight. So I'm really enjoying the comfortable "mom" look of jeans and t-shirts and anything comfortable. I sound like I probably look like a train wreck...I still TRY to look cute. I just love that I can buy shoes/pants/shirts that don't have to triple as work/play/church. I can just buy clothes I like and be done with it, not think "is this appropriate for work?" (Although being pregnant and working was the best. I just wore whatever I wanted. I figured if anyone complained I'd ask for a raise to buy "professional" maternity clothes. Consequently I wore lots of maxis and flip flops!)

3. Any beauty secrets you're loving lately?
HA! These questions make me laugh. I use coconut oil a lot. I know, it's a total fad. But seriously, it's great conditioner for your hair. Put it in at night and wash it out in the morning. Washes out great. If I blow dry my hair (IF) I usually put a little coconut oil on the ends too. I think it's the greatest/cheapest hair moisturizer out there!
4. What goals you want to accomplish this year?
Well dang. I accomplished like the only New Years resolution I had. To get below pre-baby weight and to beat my goal of my half marathon time. (Which I did, goal was 2 hours, I ran it in 1:58. Go me) Other than that I'd like to get pregnant this year and I'd really love to find a home to buy. That last one is not in my control a whole lot. It's all in Jeff's job's control, but hey, I can make it my own goal.
I'm also really trying to utilize nap times. Instead of just watching Teen Mom or New Girl, I try to knit during one nap and read during the other (of course that's after I get ready for the day and clean the house) But so far I've really enjoyed it. We don't have cable/satellite right now, and I honesty quite enjoy not having it. I've watched a lot of really good movies and I've read more books than I normally do. I'm also ready for fall knitting. This time of year I get antsy to start knitting scarves and mittens and all sorts of things. So yeah, I need to get on it!

| As much as I was ready to get Dottie out (this was my due date), I miss being pregnant and can't wait to do it again! |
5. What is one of your guilty pleasures?
I can only name one? That's not going to happen. I love Dr. Pepper. I love the movie The Waitress. It's really got a terrible story, but I just love it. I also love MTV shows like Teen Mom. I also really really love junk food. It's terrible. While I was pregnant I got hooked on Klondike bars (hence the massive weight gain) and I still LOVE them. Also lately I have a thing for Butterfingers.
6.What is one of your most embarrassing moments?
My most recent one I won't write about on here. But you can ask me. Let's just say it had to do with delivery.
Ok, let's face it. I don't want to own up to any of them on my blog so the one I'll write about is when I was younger and finished a soccer tournament I had to use the restroom, so we stopped at McDonalds and I ran in. I was still in my cleats and there happened to be a whole (cute) boys team I had to walk through. Of course they just mopped and of course I slipped on my butt. They were very nice about it but I was pretty embarrassed.
Yeah that's the only one I'll write down. haha.
Can I tag anyone that still reads my blog?? I don't even think there is anyone out there. But if there is and if anyone writes one please let me know! Like Lisa, or Alicia, or anyone!
