Getting to know Me Questions - part 1

What's worse - Physical or Mental cheating?
Gosh, they both suck. If I had to choose, I would say mental cheating and here's why... a physical act is 100% of the time performed after the mind tells your body to. Which means that for each physical act of cheating, there are lots of thoughts that come first... now the other part of the question that needs some explaining is this... what is cheating? is it the physical act? or the mental act? if one had a thought but didn't act on it... is it cheating? or being human? in my mind this is the chicken and the egg debate. I don't think there is a defining line that IS cheating... but I know it when I see it.

Is it easier to forgive or forget?
It is MUCH easier to forgive. I'm not sure we are ever really meant to forget completely... but we are definately meant to forgive and grow from whatever wrong was done... don't bury it, step over it... and you will be able to look back at your life someday from the top of the pile and remember every single lesson life has taught you and be thankful to be on top of them rather than under them!

Can men and women be "Just Friends?"
yes. yes. yes. I believe that personalities and connections are what draw people together... If you are looking for more than friends, I'm sure you will find it... but if that part of your life is full and satisfied... there is no need to ever want or need to be more than "just friends"!

Dating co-workers?
You should never ever ever date co-workers. *insert eye roll here* I spend most of my waking day at work as do most people in the US... so unless you are an internet stalker (HEHE) or frequent local bars... how on earth is a person supposed to meet another person for any decent length of time other than at work???

All expenses paid vacation to anywhere?
Ireland. I want to see the fields and the castles. I want to hear the accents all around me. I want to meet a Leprechaun (lol)! Then Austrailia I think... or Africa... or Europe... or Memphis... or Nashville. Heck. I want to go everywhere!!!

On the way to the electric chair - What's your last meal?
There is this place in Costa Mesa California (I don't know where...lol) that serves the most delicious Jack Daniels Marinated Steak I have ever tasted! Wendy's french fries and a chocolate frosty to dip them in. Giovanni's Veggie pizza with Rod's Buttermilk Dressing. Olive Garden's breadsticks with alfredo sauce to dip them in. Sheesh - I would die a happy girl! lol

Retreat.

Got back from Farmington Saturday evening. It was the best, most relaxing get-a-way I have ever had! Met up with my very best friends and just hung out. Have you ever just clicked with people that "got" you? Felt that you really belonged? It had been FOREVER... it was so good to be able to get away and connect with amazing people.

I want to thank my amazing husband for taking care of things at home so I could go. You are the best and I love you forever and always!!!

We are all excited for L and E to come visit :). The weather has been pretty good during the day so we will get some good pictures of E... I love my friends!!!

Nothing of Significance

1. Started the 1st season of Storage Wars on Netflix... it is really interesting because Jon will chime in with a "it's really like that" now and then... lol. We bought a storage unit at an auction about 6 years ago in Mesa. Jon thought it would be fun. :) We didn't spend a lot and got a lot of cool stuff out of it...and A LOT of crap. We would totally consider doing it again someday knowing what we know now!

2. Got my office Halloween decorated :) Love it! No one comes to the house around here so I kept a few things at the house, but went kind of nuts at the office - once a year is not going to hurt anybody!

3. October is the STICK TO THE BUDGET month! And we're going to dangit. lol We have no excuses not to. Well, there are always excuses. Like Josh needed new wrestling shoes this year - size 9!!! So we had to break down to spend the $40... but luckily there was a little bit left over from last month so it didn't throw anything off. I'm sure there will be more unexpected things - but we will make do.

That's all I can think of for now...

Reasons I CANT WAIT to move...

1. Theme nights with friends
2. Sunday BBQ's
3. Couponsense
4. Finding friends to craft with
5. Kickboxing class
6. Game nights
7. Movie nights
8. Cooking (freezer meals)
9. Concerts
10. Date nights
11. Monthly FHE's with family

I'm sure there will be a billion more reasons.

Love this quote.

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. she loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BABY BOY!!!

Today is Josh's 12th birthday! We all made it! lol
