Day 15: Bible verse

HA! It has been far too long since I have actually written on this blog. Maintaining three different ones can be pretty daunting.

This particular one is hard for me. I am not a religious person in the slightest. I mean I have my own personal beliefs that are very private for me. I honestly don't think that there is a Bible verse out there that really has struck me as significant and meaningful enough for me to actually remember always.

I always love things about forgiveness and loving each other. So I guess that is my Bible verse. :)

BIG CHANGES

Day 14: A picture of you last year - how have you changed?




Well one thing is very obvious, I am no longer pregnant! YAY! This was taken around June 18th, 2010. I was 35 weeks pregnant here and due July 22nd. I ended up having Sy on July 14th, (same day as his older sister) and here we are a year later.

A lot has changed both physically, emotionally and mentally. But for the most part I am reasonably happy.

Bucket List...Sort Of...

Day 13: Goals

My goals used to be HUGE and out of this world, ones that would seem unattainable. But then one day I was brought back down to earth when I had children. Now, well now my goals are simple. The basics that normal people would hope for. So here they are, in no particular order.

1. Own a house.
2. Raise my children to be good, healthy, open-minded people.
3. Run a marathon.
4. Be honestly happy. (This one is a never ending work in progress)

That is it, rather long list huh? I really just wanted to be basic in my life. I figured those were ones that I could actually do one day.

Never alone...

Day 12: Something you don't leave the house without.

I realized I have not done one of these in a long since I started doing so much with my cakes. So I thought what a great time to do it while a cake is in the oven and then needs to cool for a long time before I can slather on the ganache.

So before I got married and had babies I would have to say that I never left my house without my wallet or purse. (Never really was a purse kind of girl)

But then I got married and popped out two children. (Well more like the doctor pulled them out, since I had c-sections) So now, save one or two times, I never leave my house without one of my children. It usually ends up being the most grumpy child of them, requested by my lovely husband. Because taking a grumpy child to a store is so much easier them letting them stay at home. :)

So there you have it, hopefully I will catch up soon enough.

T.V. Time

Day 11: Favorite tv shows.

Currently I don't own a television. I know, I know, this day and age it is strange. But it is true, the only tv I watch is online via either hulu.com or netflix.com.

So my current loved shows on hulu are:

Modern Family
Biggest Loser
Cougar Town
The Daily Show
Colbert Report

Netflix:

The First 48
Cake Boss
Law and Order SVU

Nothing too exciting, but there they are.

“The key to change... is to let go of fear."

Day 10: Something you're afraid of.

I think to be honest, I am afraid of a lot of different things. But I think there are different levels of fear. For instance I have a fear of clowns, but I think it is just a creepy fear. Fear of sharks, I find them amazing creatures, but never in my life would I ever want to come into contact with them.

But my biggest, most over whelming, and horrific fear is: bathophobia.

Now it might sound like I am afraid of the bath. But the actual fear if falling from a high place, more or so to my death. Now this isn't just some fear, it literally debilitates me. I can't think straight, I feel sick, I feel helpless, weak. I get to a certain point height wise and all bets are off. I am scared beyond straight.

Now if I am in a tall building and look down, but know there is a protective shield that is keeping me safe...totally find.

Roller coasters, no way.
Sky diving, um I would probably pass out mid air.

Anything along those lines is a no way, next type situation. Honestly even thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach. I think the main reason it is so scary to me is because I feel like while falling you can actually think about your death coming. You know it is going to happen, just a matter of time. And that time is what frightens me the most about it.

So there, now you know the one secret to get me to say anything. ;)

Day 9: A favorite picture of your best friend.

I have two best friends really. I mean the generic answer is alway the spouse. Well yes, Jon is my best friend. But I do have another best friend that also means a lot to me. She is family, but still another best friend. So here is first, my husband Jon:



Okay so it says favorite picture of your best friend, so ignore the crazy eyed lady sitting next to him. This picture was taken on our anniversary. (Don't ask which one, 'cause I really don't remember) Jon and I fit each other so perfectly. We have our moments and fights over things, but we never seem to be able to hold on to the grudge or fight for very long. I guess it just doesn't seem worth it. He is so intelligent and I am so thankful for him. We are just so good for each other in so many ways.

Love you Jon!

Secondly, my other best friend. Kind of feels only right to have a male and a female right? So here is my other best friend, Kelli:



I love this picture of her because she is just so fun and looks so happy here. Kelli and I are called "soul mates" by my parents. We really were meant to be very close friends I think. She is so much fun and I adore her wonderful sense of humor. She is so smart and is currently going to school for sociology. Every day she impresses me with her abilities and urges me to go outside of my box.

Love you Kel!
