15. Last thing you wanted but didn’t get?

To take home the dog we adopted on the day we adopted her. Instead we had to wait for her to be spayed and picked her up the following day.

16. What mood were you in today?

Probably a good one. It was a Friday and I brought my dog to work with me and she was really well behaved.

17. What was the last new thing you tried?

Um…….I honestly have no idea. I am such a creature of habit that I don’t often try new things. About the only thing I am trying that is new is recipes.

18. My biggest hope is……

That everything for my wedding falls together nicely without totally breaking the bank.

19. What has challenged your morals?

Honestly I just don’t know…

20. What kind of car are you driving?

2011 Hyundai Tuscon. I love it. I don’t love having a car payment.

21. List your pets.

Right now we just have our one and only dog, Ali. She is approx. 3 years old, a mutt and super loveable. We adopted her on Valentone’s day. She has the biggest bat ears and they make her crazy adorable.

Toothpaste, food and new seat covers for the car.

23. Today I felt really secure knowing…….

That my fiancé loves me.

24. Whose life did you make a difference in today?

Probably my mother or my nippy doggo.

Not having to get up and go to work.

February 1-14

1. What is your favorite piece of art you own?

I have a large collection of paintings that I have done at wine and painting studios. My favorite is probably the Hogwarts one I did a couple years ago on Harry Potter’s birthday.

My other favorite is a gilded map of Middle Earth. I love Lord of the Rings and have had this map framed for about 10 years now.

2. The most expensive bill I paid last month was?

Car payment. If my fiancé and I weren’t living with his dad to save on rent, then rent would be my biggest bill.

3. What is the last thing you apologized for?

Who knows, probably something silly. I often apologize for things that are out of my control and do not require apologies. I am working on doing this less but it is a struggle.

4. My favorite color is……     

Green. Generally the brighter the better. I buys all things green, but have surprisingly few green clothing items. Green has been my color of choice for a long time.

5. On a scale of one to ten, how is your health?

I would say a solid 8. It is almost allergy season which is like hell for me and no otc medicine really alleviates all my symptoms. I could use to loose some weight to be overall healthier, cushy office job has allowed me to put on a few pounds the last couple of years. And then  I am always plagued by my mystery joint pain. I have had severe joint pain since I was like 10. I have no clue what causes it and mostly just try to ignore the pain and go about my life.

6. If you could do today over, would you change anything?

…..Over a month later I have no idea if this was a particularly good or bad day or just a regular old boring day.

7. Name a person you wish you didn’t have to deal with today?

If I talked to my mom it would be her. If I didn’t talk to her than it was probably just people in general.

8. What is the largest TV screen in you house?

50 or 55 inches. 

9. What time did you go to bed last night?

Since it was a work night probably somewhere between 9:30 and 11:30 pm

10. What did you buy today?

Food most likely

11. I wish I had ……

More money to just spend.

12. How many photos did you take today?

None. My cell phone has a broken screen yet again, so I can’t take any pictures : (

13. What book are you reading right now?

I have taken a little reading break again and have only been reading a few pages here and there in a bunch of different books.

14. How many hours of sleep did you get last night?

Probably between 5 and 8

Final January Questions

25. What is your favorite thing to drink?

I am a huge fan of iced coffee, e               specially cold brew. I am working on perfecting making my own at home to save money.

26. Today the temperature was…..

58°F Which is on the chilly side for my desert dwelling self. I like it when its in the upper 70’s to the mid 80’s. We only get a few weeks of that ideal weather each spring and fall. Warm enough to wear shorts and tanks but not so hot that everything is miserable.

27. How much did you spend at the grocery store last time you went?

I have been really bad about going to the store multiple times a week so I probably spent between $10-$15 just picking up a couple things to make for dinner.

28. Tomorrow I will………

Since I am playing catch up with these questions I don’t have an answer for this one : /

29. What was your last major purchase?

As of this date my last MAJOR purchase would have been my car. I finally had to cave in a get a new car in February of 2017, when it was really getting unsafe to drive my truck. While I hate having to make a car payment every month I love my 2011 Hyundai Tuscon.

30. My house is a home because…..

My fiancé and I make it one. We work together to make a space that is both of ours and combines who we are. Also there is nothing better than coming home my favorite person every day.

31. Who is the last person to tell you they love you?

My fiancé. We tell each other often that we love one another.
