A Silly Question Meme

I stole this week's meme from Adventures in Newlywed, it's some pretty silly, random, questions. Play along if you wish!



What is your salad dressing of choice? all time favorite is Cardini's original Caesar.

What is your favorite sit-down restaurant? that's hard...but probably this little Mexican place near my parent's house.

What food could you eat for 2 weeks straight and not get sick of it? cheese! (does that count)

What are your pizza toppings of choice? my favorite local pizza place has this amazing white pizza with chicken and spinach on it. It is fab!

What do you like to put on your toast? I never really eat toast...but if I did I would put butter on it.

How many televisions are in your house? 2---one in the living room and one in the "study"/"guest bedroom." If it were up to me we would have one in every room...including the bathroom!

What color cell phone do you have? black...and it has a black and sliver case thingy

Are you right-handed or left-handed? right

Have you ever had anything removed from your body? I had a mole removed...and some baby teeth before I got braces...and my wisdom teeth...and I guess splinters?

What is the last heavy item you lifted? I have no clue.

Have you ever been knocked unconscious? nope.

If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die? I don't think I would want to know...it would be depressing. Maybe if I was really really old...then I might want to know, but for now, no.

If you could change your name, what would you change it to? I wouldn't change my name, I am ok with it now, but when I was younger I wanted to change my name to Justine.

Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1000? Absolutely! Show me the money!

Last run-in with a cop? I got pulled over probably a year and half ago because I didn't have a front licence plate on my old car...I told the cop it just fell off and got a warning...little did she know that I had just never put it on because it looked ugly on that kind of car.

Last person you talked to? a client at work...I talk to them all day.

Last person you hugged? K, this morning when he left for work

Favorite Season? fall...but I love summer too.

Holiday? Christmas

Day of the week? Saturday...because it's the weekend of course!

Month? I have no clue...maybe June since it is my birthday month?

First place you went this morning? outside to walk Hanna.

What's the last movie you saw? K and I watched "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" on LMN last Sunday...it wasn't that good.

Do you smile often? I guess.

Do you always answer your phone? Nope, but then again I don't get a ton of calls.

It's four in the morning and you get a text message who is it?My friend, E, most likely asking me how to get rid of her hiccups.

If you could change your eye color what would it be? I wouldn't, I like having blue eyes.

What flavor drink do you get at Sonic? Alas, I have never been to a Sonic...there are none near me. I am planning to go on the way to the beach because that is the closest one...last year it was waaay to crowded but this year I am stopping no matter what!

Do you own a digital camera? Yes, I just got a new red one and I love it!

Have you ever had a pet fish? I have had several...Miriam, Frank, Chuckie, Sparkle...Frank was killed by my mom who dropped him down the garbage disposal while cleaning his bowl...then turned it on...or maybe that was Chuckie?

Favorite Christmas song? "Do They Know It's Christmas?"...seriously, it isn't the holiday season until I hear that song.

What's on your wish list for your birthday? since I just had one...I have no idea what I will want next year.

Can you do push ups? No, even when I was in really good shape I couldn't do them. It could be a mental block.

Can you do a chin up? I don't think so...but I haven't tried since middle school.

Does the future make you more nervous or excited? a little of both

Do you have any saved texts? Not intentionally, just the ones I haven't deleted yet.

Ever been in a car wreck? yes, my high school bf hit a telephone pole with me in the car.

Do you have an accent? actually not at all, I think it is b/c I have lived all over the place.

What is the last song to make you cry? I have no idea. Songs don't normally make me cry. Just TV commercials

Plans tonight? cook dinner, watch Top Chef Masters from yesterday, go to Petco, attempt to stay up to watch Real Housewives, drink some wine, think about the fact that I have completely slacked off on working out.

Have you ever felt like you hit rock bottom?no

Name 3 things you bought yesterday? I actually didn't buy anything yesterday!

Have you ever been given roses? yes

Current worry? finances...now and in the future.

Current hate right now? my job

Debbie Downer

Sorry for being so down and un-fun lately, I promise my mood is on the way up and next week my blog should return to it's normal snarky and (I think) fun self.

In the meantime here is a random meme...and have a happy weekend!

eating: today I have had a think thin bar (they are awesome heard about them from Black Labs and Lilly) and a salad for lunch.
drinking:water...it's really all I ever drink...except alcohol.
wearing: seven jeans, white tank top and blue short sleeved cardigan from the limited and light brown snakeskin flats from DSW...it's jeans day at work.
hair: down
nails: semi-short and unpolished, I rarely have nail polish on my finger nails because I pick it off. Toenails are pink.
purchased today: nothing yet, maybe some wine later or some food.
wanting: $500 to fall from the sky so I don't have to use my money to pay the deductible for my car!
What bill do you hate paying the most? my bills don't normally bother me too much, so I guess just the bill I mentioned above at the moment!
Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner? Hmmm...hard to say. I guess it depends on your definition of romantic. K and I went to this cool gastropub last weekend so I guess it would be that.
Name of your first grade teacher? Miss Coleman...I think.
What do you really want to be doing right now? laying on a beach
What did you want to be when you were growing up? lots of things...a waitress, a pilot, archaeologist, teacher, news reporter...to name a few
How many colleges did you attend? just one
Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now? The cardigan I picked because I haven't worn it in awhile and the white tank top because I wear either a black or white cami almost everyday!
Gas prices? they seem to be going down again, so that's good.
If you could move anywhere and take someone with you? I would move to the beach and take K with me...but that's not really practical right now.
First thought when the alarm went off this morning? Five more minutes!
Last thought before going to sleep last night? I hope the puppy doesn't wake me up in the night. (she didn't, I slept very well)
What errand/chore do you despise? cleaning toilets really grosses me out...so I don't do it. I actually have never done it in my life. Of chores I do...vacuuming. K does both of those things at this point.
If you didn't have to work, would you volunteer? absolutely! That would be awesome!
Get up early or sleep in? well I used to always sleep in, but now that I am older I actually like getting up (relatively) early.
Have you found real love yet? Yes.
When did you first start feeling old? When my little brother got to high school haha. Actually, I don't know...some days I feel old and some days I feel like a kid.
Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual? no way!
Favorite guilty pleasure? hmmm that's hard...definitely food. Maybe loaded cheese fries?
Cowboys or Indians? Cowboys
What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now? Mix 106.5
Do you like the person who sits directly across from you at work? no one sits across from me at work.
What famous person would you like to have dinner with? Peter Jackson, the director of Lord of the Rings...because I am a huge nerd. Or maybe Tim Gunn.
Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose? I have never used one at all.
Last book you read for real? I read all the time and re-read books over and over again...I can't actually remember what book I finished last (I think I may be experiencing short term memory loss haha) at the moment but right now I am re-reading Jemima Jones, just for something to read.
Do you have a teddy bear? Yes I do, I got him when I turned 3 and his name is A.G., I slept with him every night until K and I moved in together. Now he has a place of honor in my walk in closet and whenever K is out of town I sleep with him again.
Do you go to church? On Christmas Eve.
At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship? Definitely a new career!

The Name Game

8. STARWARS NAME: (the first 3 letters of your last name, 2 letters of your first) Burco

7. DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite color, fav animal) Pink Monkey (that was a hard one, I like a lot of different colors and animals)

Honest Scrap

Jey Rey tagged everyone who reads her blog for this award and since I am having a boring day at work and need to avoid online shopping I am playing along!

The rule is to share 10 true things that your readers don't already know about you! I am also going to tag anyone who wants to play because I love learning more about all of you ;)

1. I think it would be really fun to work in real estate, getting to look at houses and helping people find the best one for them would be awesome.

2. I gag really easily, if something smells gross or looks nasty I will start gagging like I am going to throw up. My friends all make fun of me for it.

3. I lived in Hawaii for 3 years.

4. I wish it was socially acceptable for adults to play barbies. I would totally do it all the time.

5. I think I have pretty good intuition, I normally can get a "reading" on someone quickly and also get "feelings" on things that actually happen. Unfortunately, I don't have any control over it, it just happens. (I swear I am not just saying this to be arrogant, it is totally true, my friends and family and even admit it.)

6. I am seriously horrible at math, I normally need a calculator to do everything. Ironically, I work in finance.

7. I love scary things...movies, haunted houses, ghost tours etc...but I have a very over active imagination so sometimes I take them way to seriously!

8. I have always wanted to write a book, specifically a young adult type book. Like Harry Potter...not that I would ever be that successful!

9. Puncture wounds freak me out.

10. I can do a very good Sean Connery impression but never got a chance to show it off (people don't care about girls doing Sean Connery impressions) so I wrote it into a sorority recruitment skit in which I also was playing Britney Spears and drew on a beard with eyeliner.

Happy Weekend!

How Much Have I Changed in 10 Years...

Have you noticed my presence in the blog world during the day lately? Not that I expected you to...but the reason is the whole no going on the internet at work thing...seems to have fizzled.

K and Me Quiz

I realized I really don't share much on the blog about my relationship and K so I did a search for a fun meme I could do and I found this quiz meme on a couple of different blogs a while ago(including Adventures in Newlywed and In Love With A Farm Boy) and thought I would try it out.

What are your middle names? John and Marie

How long have you been together? We had a very weird relationship to start off so it's hard to say specific time frame...so you can pick from October of 2004 or May of 2005

How long did you know each other before you started dating? Officially about a week the first time we started "dating"

Who asked who out? Since we were in college we didn't really go on dates, K asked me to be his girlfriend in October of 2004 then broke up with me in December...then we sort of just ended up back together in May 2005 and have been together ever sense. (that is a verrrrry brief summary of a very crazy situation that perhaps I will post about at some point)

Who said I love you first? He did

How old are each of you? We both are 23 but I am older by 3 months

Whose siblings do/did you see the most? Mine, we see my family much more then his because we live near them

Do you have any children together? Maybe someday! But not now!

What about pets? Hanna!

Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? I would say K being in law school is hard right now but I know it will help us have a better future.

Are you from the same hometown? Nope, I am an Army brat/MD girl and he is from NJ

Where do you eat out most as a couple? When we go out to eat we mix it up a lot, the places we eat regularly we order in.

Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Who does the cooking? Mostly me, but K is the breakfast maker

Who is the most social? By far me, I am a loud, center of attention type of person, and K is reserved and thoughtful.

Who is the neat-freak? We both are in different ways, I am more quirky about things being in the right place and K is more into making sure the kitchen is clean.

Where was your first date? Ummm...we met up at a frat party, does that count? We never really went on a first date.

Who has the bigger family? Me

Do you get flowers often? No, but that's ok

Who do you spend the holidays with? So far my family

Who is more jealous? I guess me, but I don't think either of us are too jealous

Who’s better with the computer? K

Who picks where you go to dinner? We both hate making little decisions so it always requires a lot of deliberation to pick...I guess both of us!

Who eats more sweets? K, I am not much of a sweets person. I prefer bacon.

Who cries more? Me

I love you K and congrats on finishing your first year of law school!

More About Me

Rather then going on and on about baby Hanna or blogging about nothing since nothing too exciting is going on with me (other then the puppy of course) I thought I would do this meme I found on CAPow art & design. This way you can find out more random stuff about me!

1. My uncle once : stepped on a land mine...in Vietnam (he lived)
2. Never in my life : have I been to Europe.
3. When I was seventeen : I got my licence and drove a 1990 Volvo station wagon.
4. High School was : blah, I didn't like it.
5. I will never forget : the day my little brother was born. Today he turns 17!
Happy Birthday Little Brother!
6. I once met : the British lady from the show "Fashion Emergency." Does anyone else remember that show?
7. There’s this girl I know who : is afraid of spores on plants.
8. Once, at a bar : my friends and I met these really weird guys and told them we would go to another bar with them but didn't walk to walk in the rain. They got us a cab and paid the driver trying to be all smooth...then we told the cabbie to take us home. It was mean but funny.
9. By noon, I’m usually : ready to go home!
10. Last night : I continued my lazy streak and hung out with Hanna!
11. If only I had : a job I love with flexible hours and the ability to work from home sometimes.
12. Next time I go to gym/church : no clue, I have been doing kettlenetics instead/ Christmas Eve
13. Susan Boyle : is not as good as everyone makes her seem but interesting.

18. What I miss most about the eighties : nothing, I don't remember the eighties...love the music though so I will go with that.

20. By this time next year : Little Brother will be eighteen! How time flies...
21. A better name for me would be : I'm not sure. I like my name now but when I was younger I wanted to have my name be Justine for some reason. I don't really even like that name anymore.

Prom!

K at Blog Goggles tagged me last week in this prom picture post thing that has been going around. I considered trying to find a picture to scan in while at my parents this past weekend...but I was too lazy, so I just took a picture of some of my scrapbook pages. Hope you don't mind the semi-poor picture of a picture quality, I think you will still get the point! If you want to play, consider yourself tagged!

Here is my junior prom. I went to both prom's with my high school boyfriend who was pretty short, so I wore the same sparkly white flip flops to each prom so I wouldn't be taller then him, which always made me feel weird. This dress was laced up the back and sadly there were about 5 other people at the prom with the same dress, which lead to my choice for the next year.

And here is senior year, where I wore "the barbie dress." It was huge! I really loved it though, and no one else had it on. It is hard to tell from the picture but it was BRIGHT pink and had tons of random pink sequins. It was very hard to go to the bathroom in.
And here is the obligatory "putting on the corsage" picture. My boyfriend got not only a top hat, but also a monocle, cane, spats, and white gloves. He looked like Mr. Peanut, and I made him leave the monocle and cane at home!

Tag-arific Part 2

Here is the other one, I was tagged by Children of the 90s. Here are the rules:

1. Mention the person who nominated you.
2. List six unimportant things that make you happy.

Here are my things, most of them are pretty weird:

1) My car, it was my first big adult purchase and I just love it. Sometimes I think it is too expensive but then I drive it and I fall in love again.
2) Seeing horses in fields. I was never a horseback rider or anything but I always love to see them and yell "Horsey!" as a go by. Weird, I know. If Donkeys are there with them it makes it even better.
3) Uggs, I have three pairs already and will probably get even more. I know some people hate them and I don't care.

4) Infomercials...I find them intriguing. A dream job would be an infomercial presenter, is that the job title?

5) Restaurants where you can write on the walls or tables. I am so classy. (couldn't find a good pic)

6)Lady Gaga

Those were pretty silly. Again I am going to tag anyone who wants to play!
