What will you spend your "Stimulate The Economy" refund on?

I have been wanting a flat screen TV for my bedroom, and I have seen them for about $500.00. I think that's what I will spend my refund on. It will be hard to not take the money and pocket it and pay off things, but since its purpose is to stimulate the economy I will do my part!


What is the Last Thing You Purchased?
I went to Walmart to get some Zrytec (since its OTC now), and walked out with a new red soft blanket for the couch for $4.00, new rug for the front door for $3.00 and a cool canvas box ($6.00) to hold my yarn fetish.

What is the Last Thing You Purchased?

Hmm, something boring...groceries or the Greek salad from an Italian restaurant that we got for dinner last night.

What do you love about yourself?

I am a really good mother, wife, daughter and sister.

What do you love about yourself?

Well, aside from my hair =). I love that I am strong and independent. I am able to make it, even when sometimes I think I cant. I believe that I am compassionate and understanding and I like that.



Have You Ever Met an Internet Friend in Real Life?
Well, not so much "friend" as friends who are boys who were possible relationships. I met #2, #3, Cleaning Man, and Icky. Wow, hmm guess that doesn't work so well!

Have You Ever Met an Internet Friend in Real Life?

Yep. I am a member of a parenting website and they have birth boards where you share pregnancy and parenthood with those who were due or had babies in the same month as you. One of the moms lives about an hour away and we met up last summer for lunch. It was fun and great to see the kiddos playing together.


One Thing You Miss Most About Your Younger Days?
I guess I miss how long summer days seemed. Those last few weeks of school seemed to take forever and then all of a sudden you were out of school and had long endless days of fun. Unfortunately, although the days were long, summer itself was over way too fast.

One thing you miss from your younger days...

I think what I miss most is not having to worry about life and being completely ignorant to the fact that I will ever worry about it. I also miss the time with family. I think as the child you don't realize while your going through it how special that time of life is.



What Kind of Music Do You Dislike Most?
HAS to be Country. I dont like it. Although, fine... there are a few songs I have come across that I like.

What Kind of Music Do You Dislike Most?

Heavy rap or twangy country...it's a toss up. There are a few rap songs and a few country songs I can tolerate, but they are few and far between. Also not a reggae, Yani or R&B fan overall. Other than that, anything goes.

What's your normal blood pressure?

I don't know, as I don't have it taken often. It's always on the lower end of normal, even during pregnancy. I don't worry about it too much. I try to eat healthy and exercise. Seems to be working fine so far.

Whats your normal blood preasure?

Typically mine is 170/72.. checked last night and it was 164/70.


What grosses you out?
First thing that comes to mind.... PEAS!!! ewww.. grosss
Others on the list: unknown stuff on toilet seats, dirty dishes in the sink, seeing Howards crack when hes fixing something on the truck.

What grosses you out?

Long toe nails, perverted old men, public restrooms, maggots and leaches, anything that can burrow into your skin (ringworm, etc), long underarm hair (I just don't want to see it)...I am sure there are more, but that is what came to me off the top of my head.


What does 2008 have in store for you?
Well, another baby for one! And being a parent to two under the age of two. I am sure it will get scary as August approaches, but right now, we are looking at it as an exciting new adventure. Luckily, the first trimester has been kind to me this time as well and hopefully we have a healthy little baby growing in there who will join us in late July/early August.

What does 2008 have in store for you?

I think alot of changes will happen this year. I am hoping to find Mr. Amy. I am also hoping to be very close to being done with my masters by the end of the year. I also hope that I can continue to eat healthy and loose weight and battle with my struggle with eating to fill voids. I am hoping that 2008 will just end with a better happier Amy! =)

Anything You Are Glad to Say Goodbye to With the End of 2007?

2007 was a year of ups and downs for me. I learned a lot about life and myself in the process. I think the experiences I had are all important for my life and who I am but I am glad to have the experiences over! The most important thing is to always be happy with who you are and how you present yourself and always tell the people you care about that you love them. I am glad I got to toss out 2007 while spending time with my family. I am looking forward to what 2008 will hold for me!
