Finish This! Week #25

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}, Jen {The Arizona Russums} and Becky {The Java Mama}.

I have a quarter to use a pay phone, I call … Adam. Seriously I never talk on the phone so I'd likely give him a call, check in, see how things are going..

I found $25 in my pocket, I buy … Well, I'd first start by couponing for whatever I actually do need to buy, so that I could stretch that $25 a little farther... mostly likely, I'd try to get ahead on groceries, diapers, formula, etc.   If all of that was done and I was getting to "spoil" myself, I would probably either go out to dinner or get a manicure (I think I get one like once a year...)

I have 25 minutes to watch anything on TV, I turn on … either baseball and if that's not on, I'd probably catch up on some sort of garbage TV.. I like RHOC, Catfish (yes, I'm old but I can't get enough of that show!), Rizzoli and Isles (because I love crime shows), but my FAVORITE show is Nashville, I've talked about this before... but since it's summer and on hiatus I'd probably default to one of the above. 

A meal I can prepare, from start to finish. in 25 minutes or less is … sloppy joes.  My neighbor gave me the BEST recipe for homemade sloppy joes (or bbqs as they are called by some folks).  They are absolutely incredible!! 

At the age of 25, I wish I had known … How all of my choices mold and shape who I've become and if I can't be proud of the choice, or if I didn't want my dad or grandma to see it, then I shouldn't do it.  I look back on some of the poor decisions I made, and yes I've grown and learned from them, but sometimes I wish I had a do over. 

If I drove 25 miles (direction) from my house, I’d be in the St Croix River.  I live in Wisconsin near the border of Minnesota, so if I drove West 25 miles, I'd literally be in the dividing river between the 2 states.  If I drove, North, South, or East,  I'd be in a corn field.  I think there's actually a college about 25 miles East of me, so I guess there's that, but since I do most of my activities in Minnesota, that's where my mind went... (My work is 1 exit away from Mall of America... hard to do anything in Wisconsin when all your needs are in the metro!).

Prompts for WEEK 26 (July 2) are:

It’s never too late …

I compare myself to others …

My personality is …

I can …

I embrace change …

Sloppy Joe Recipe (or BBQs depending on where you're from!)

This is an old family recipe from my neighbor... I absolutely LOVE these!

1/2 cup ketchup
Salt/pepper to taste
1 tsp vinegar

Finish This! Week #24

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}, Jen {The Arizona Russums} and Becky {The Java Mama}.

I could spend all day … laying on my couch catching up on DVR... I haven't had much of a "me" break lately and all I imagine doing is napping and simply doing nothing lately!

My primary and most essential goal in life … is to be the best girlfriend/mother/daughter/sister/friend I can possibly be. Although the last one "Friend" I have been a little wrapped up with this new family life that I'm not nearly the friend I once was.  I don't have too many friends out there but am thankful for the ones that I do have!

You might be surprised to learn … I'm obsessed with watching baseball. I am a season ticket holder for the Minnesota Twins for the 3rd year.  I watch nearly every single game and even did so on the road (with MLB.TV).  I rarely miss a game and usually it's my boyfriend who is asking me updates on baseball, standings, and stats.  I love it!

My favorite place in the world is …up North at the cabin.  I love being up in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees and quiet.  Plus there's this little bakery up there that has the BEST sourdough bread I've ever had!

I wish I had known sooner … how hard it would be to lose this baby weight!!  I must read too much People magazine because I think I had it in my head that after the first few months I'd be back to my normal size again. Clearly I have learned what reality is when it comes to losing baby weight.
