Dollar Dollar Bill Yall

19) Would you marry someone much richer or much poorer than you?

Simple. Yes and yes, but let's face it...I'm a teacher, there aren't many poorer than I. =)

I'm thinking of a Beatles song..."All you need is love", but I'm going to add my own line: " But I'm not an idiot!"

I realize money is important especially in today's economy and I know it's a topic to start many fights over, but as long as my future husband has goals and ambitions, a job he loves, and can provide some sort of something for our family I'd be happy...and I'd want him to expect the same thing from me!

Your Wish is my Command

18) If a genie granted you 3 wishes, what would you ask for?

I'd like world peace (the REAL kind, not the Metta kind) as much as anyone, but don't Genie's have certain rules?...remember Aladdin? So, I'm going to keep it simple. Right now my 3 wishes would be...

1. The Thunder to SWEEP the Lakers

2. More production...less stress with 7 days of school left

3. A carefree, easy going, world traveling summer (that's just 1 wish, right?!)

And yours would be?...

You're Bothering Me If...

17) Tell me five of your pet peeves?

       Wait?...What?...Just 5? I will try to narrow them down and if I think of more I will type them out, because let's face it...this is my blog and I can do whatever I want. In no particular order...

1. LOUD eating!...Smacking. I don't care if you can't control it and your eating a "loud" chip, you will get the eye roll and I will move away from you!

2. Food Judgers. You know, those people who look awkwardly at your food and proceed to ask you, "what's that?" and then make a funny face. Ummm...no one is shoving it down your throat, I didn't even ask you to look at it!

3. People (mostly Wal-Mart people) who yell at the top of their lungs at their children, saying the most awful things..."What are you, stupid?"....Uhhh no, but, you're about to be when I slap ya upside your head and take your kid home with me!

4. People who feel the need to put in their two cents when they have NO idea what you're talking about!...That goes along with people who feel the need to run the gossip mill!

5. People throwing cigarette butts out their window!...Hello, we live in Oklahoma, not the wetlands! Grass fires, ever heard of them? I have!

Oh, I'm sure there will be more to come later. Stay tuned!

Frogs & Smelling Roses

16) Are there any fears you have that you would like to get over?

I think everyone has an unusual fear...mine being frogs. Weird, I know, but I do. I'm trying to get over it, because some of them are kind of cute...but they just freak me out! Dogs bark, cats meow, frogs do nothing and just jump at you! Ahhh...

On another level, a fear I have is letting go...I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a control freak, OCD, Type A person...interesting mix, huh? I'm learning that my life doesn't have to have deadlines. The beauty of life is just living it...and I'm trying to realize that, so if you see me running around trying to meet one of my many "deadlines," stop me and tell me to smell the roses! 

Cubs, Sooners, & Thunder...Oh, My!

15) Which sports do you play or watch?

Actually play...none. Attempt...all.

I'm not the typical girl who says she likes sports, but really has no clue what she's talking about. I know my stuff and I LOVE sports!

My favorite sport would be baseball! There is nothing better than spending the day at the ball park, watching a game, and eating a hotdog. Love it! I am obsessed with the Cubs. Ernie Banks "Mr. Cub" is my all time favorite Cub! One of the top things on my bucket list is going to Wrigley, I love the history! One of my goals in life is to see them win a world series!...I believe!

In Oklahoma we take our college football seriously...BOOMER SOONER. If you have never been to an OU football game it must be one of the top things you do before you die! The tradition, the legacy, the atmosphere, the fans, the location, and not to mention the amazing talented football team. It is something everyone needs to experience!

Yay!! OKC finally has a professional sports team and could we have gotten a better one?!...Nope, they are absolutely the best...hands down (maybe I'm partial). Seriously, who would have thought in a few short years the OKC Thunder would be on top?...probably no one except Oklahomans! We love our sports and we love our teams. The KD Westbrook combo couldn't be any better if you added fries and a large drink!...THUNDER UP!

Africa #14

14) If you could take a year off an go travelling, where would it be?

I have never felt more called to go to a place than I have to go to Africa. I have never been, but am praying to take a trip in God's time. There are thousands of places I would love to visit...NYC, London, Paris, Fiji, and so on...but the place I would choose over them all would be Africa, I feel an automatic connection to the people and want to help them in any way I can. I am absolutely heart broken by things happening in Africa, but am also so humbled seeing them make the most out of what they have. I have no doubt Africa will have a major impact on my life and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me there!

Burning a Butterfly...

13) If someone gave you $1,000 and asked you to kill a butterfly by burning it alive in the flame of candle, would you do it? (Note: I found this question by "googleing" random questions, but I think it could tell a lot about a person!)

Wow! What a question, huh?!... Like I said, I cannot take credit for this question (thank the Lord). 

My answer: no, no, & no.

1. That is just cruel and a little creepy/future serial killer-ish.

2. I love butterflies.

3. My students might kill me as we just finished learning about butterflies and they LOVED them!

It's one thing to intentionally step on a spider...I mean hello, those things can bite/harm/kill you, but not a beautiful butterfly. If you answered yes to this question I don't think we can be friends any longer.
