this girl is ...

BEHIND on blogging. so, not to anyone's surprise, instead of catching up - i will take the tiny bit of time i have today and do a survey! HAHA! :) but, to justify it some .. i was tagged therefore FORCED to do this, making it a part of my 'catch up' list actually! so, HA! :)

mandee over at the bear naked truth tagged me in this wonderrrful survey - and i am going to copy her and also add pictures to catch your eyeballs just a tad more! ;]

i'm guessing the way this tagged survey works - is that i answer mandee's chosen questions, tag 8 people of my choice and force ask them to answer 8 of my questions! soooo - here goes. i'll start with mandee's questions first!


1. have you ever seen your favorite band live, and if you have, did they live up to your expectations?
i have seen everyone of my favorite bands live :) if you wanna go wayyyyy back to my very first favorite band - the Cruz Boys! saw them every year at the Gospel Light Youth Conference! i've seen hanson, new kids on the block, maroon 5, chevelle, incubus, paramore and most recently - sublime w/ rome AND the dirty heads. each and everyone one of them lived up to my expectations and then some :D
incubus and paramore are probably the best that i've seen live =D



2. what is your drink of choice?



3. what is your most cherished memory from your childhood?
this one was tough ... i can't pinpoint just one. but man, i do miss those carefree days of playing outside until the sun goes down - or going to a friends and playing barbies in the basement :D



4. quick! there's some kind of natural disaster and you can only grab three things from your house to save (all people and animals have escaped unharmed)... what do you pick?
fireproof safe - which contains important documents (marriage/kullen stuff)
pictures!
my nikon!





5. if you could have dinner with anyone (dead or alive, famous or not), who would it be?
marilyn♥



6. who is your favorite comedian?
daniel tosh. yum!



7. what is your favorite sport, and who is your favorite team from that sport?
hockey, fo sho. i used to have a wonderful love affair with football but now that i've met hockey ... oh football has been pushed to the back burner! ;]
annnnd i love my alex semin ♥



8. have you ever been accused of something you didn't do?
ha, story of my life!!! i couldn't even begin to list the things that fall under this category but luckily, i'm not talking about anything serious or law-breaking! but, for some reason i'm always the one to blame! ;] i think perhaps it because i'm a little too nice sometimes and people now they can put things on me and get away with it?! luckily - life has changed a bit and it isn't that way much anymore ;]


i'm tagging:
ashley @ our crazy fun life
jessi @ caterpillar family
heather @ the best of both worlds
jessica @ living our love song
candice @ stash mama
megan @ a ruffle in time.3
stephanie @ confessions of a trophy wife

2. what is your favorite hobby?
3. what is the best memory with your significant other?
4. what is the biggest life changing event you've been through?

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!

tuesday schmuesday

i have SO much catching up to do and of COURSE - forgot my upload camera at the house so won't be able to get it all done! story of my LIFE!!! anywho - this is going to be a long and probably random post - so hope you can hang! ;] first - hiiii everyone stopping in from FMBT :)
leave me a comment to let me know you're a new follower and i'll follow ya right back! =D
---------------------------------------------------------------------i had a pretty amazing weekend! ♥ friday we got some new curtains and frames for the living room (which have yet to be put up) and caught up on some tv! saturday was tattoo day for me! i finallllly got a tattoo for my kullen♥ i decided a while ago that i wanted a tree .. originally it was a family tree and adam shot that idea down quick. so i began to look at different trees and found the style i wanted. then i came across a bird and bird cage and thought it was just too cute! so, i told the tattoo artist that was what i wanted and he drew something up for me and i LOVED it! he even left a few descrete places that my other babies can be put in :) i am totally IN LOVE with it♥ sorry for the crappy quality - picture phone! ;]
--------------------------------------------------------speaking of kids ... i have a rant. i try not to judge or get involved in other peoples lives but i can't STAND when i see people parade themselves and their kids all over their social network like the kid is the apple of their eye yet they NEVER have their kid. every single weekend they are out and about WITHOUT the kid. i maybe leave kullen one night a MONTH to go out with friends and i still feel bad and miss him like CRAZY. i have NEVER left him overnight and i get anxiety even thinking about it. me and the hub wanted to go away for a night this month for our anniversary but i don't even think i could leave kullen. plus, why? .. we have MORE fun with him! i know every parent is different and i may be slightly over protective of mine ... but geeze, i just don't get people sometimes. why even HAVE a kid if all you do is pawn them off? bleh. sorry for the negativity. had to get it out!
-----------------------------------------------------------kullen's new thing is saying 'tickle tickle tickle tickle' ALLLL the time. even when he's not wanting to be or trying to tickle! haha! i tried to capture it on video as best i could .. you may have to listen closely but you can hear him repeating 'tickle tickleeee' haha!


--------------------------------------------------------------we did leave kullen for our monthly outing (haha) and went to see my favorite banddddd paramore! we went with kathy over at bwak bwak blog and my little sister. we had a BLAST!!!! we were SUPER close to the stage too which is always a plus. here are just few of the millions of pictures we took! haha!
-------------------------------------------& to end this post - i stole a survey from mandeefofandee =D annnd as mandee - all pictures courtesy of gooooogle images :D
NUMBER: LETTER: COLOR: DAY: MONTH: DRINK: CANDY: ICECREAM: SEASON: MOVIE: ANIMAL: ITEM OF CLOTHING: WORD: PLACE: HOLIDAY: SMELL: SHOES: GUM: NAIL POLISH COLOR: SUBJECT IN SCHOOL: SNACK: CANDY BAR: FOOD TO COOK: SODA: HOBBY: FLOWER: TREE: FRUIT: VEGETABLE: SPICE: QUOTE:
-----------------------------------------------------

&& lastly ... we've offically begun training for our new system at work so that will probably consume the next two months of my work time :[ i'm especially sad because on some of those days, i will be in training until 5 or even later - meaning i won't get home until 6 which really only leaves me with an hour of time with my boy =/ ugh. whyyyyy do i have to work =(
-----------------------------------------------
