Finish This! -- Week #16

Finish This! 

This game is called "Finish This," and all you have to do is finish the following prompts and link up your post below! You can also visit the other hosts of this party on their fun blogs: Nicole {Three 31} Lisa {Coastlined}, and Becky {The Java Mama}. 


George is 3 months old today!



My favorite makeup item is BLUSH. I've always said if there is 1 makeup item I cannot live without it is blush. I wear Clinque's Powder Blush in Breathless Berry. I have worn it for years!

The best book I’ve ever read was Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. I feel like I wrote about this one a few weeks ago. It was a story about a shooting at a school told from the perspective of one of the student's parents. However, as a reader you begin to sympathize with the shooter because of the horrific bullying he endured from the students. (Yes, I said it... because that's what I felt.) It kept me on my toes the entire book and the end simply shocked me.

My favorite TV show is Nashville. I L-O-V-E country music, so getting to see a drama about country is SO much fun! I like the music on the show and all the drama that goes on between the characters.

The most spontaneous thing I’ve ever done is hopped on a plane to surprise a friend. He was deploying for Japan, so I flew from Phoenix to LA for the day and waited at his gate to surprise him. Spontaneous because I made the decision only 4 hours before my flight took off to book the surprise ticket. I had no idea what flight he was on, what airline he was on and what time he'd arrive. So I watched for all the flights coming in from Salt Lake City and waited outside each one (this was pre 9/11) until I found him!

I prefer DOGS/CATS because - oh goodness, people are going to hate me. I do not like animals, so I cannot agree to prefer either of these two. I am so not an animal person. They both shed, poop all over, smell, etc.. I will quit there.


I met my significant other at a local bar. Yes, I did. I was out for a girls night - wig themed party, and my DD was standing at his table at the end of the night... I told him to show me his hands because I was only interested in a man who had working hands. (I might have had a few too many drinks at this point). The funny thing is, that he's very blue collar and works with his hands all the time and has very used and abused hands. We both agree that when I asked that question, something was sparked because he believes in a strong work ethic and knew I did too when I posed that to him.


Prompts for WEEK 17 (April 30) are:My last growing pain was…
I grow and nurture…
The guilt-free snack I enjoy most…
The best reason to stay up all night…
If I were stranded on a desert island, I’d…
