Halloween Candy~Pass It Out? Eat It?

Neither really. Kind of scroogy, huh? We actually bought a ton of candy the first year we lived in this house, but we don't really seem to get too many trick or treaters. We live in a subdivision, but it seems many people drive their kids to other areas, which is fine by me. I do love to see the little ones all dressed up, but being left with bags of candy is no fun, since I don't really have a sweet tooth for that stuff and definitely don't need any extra calories this year.

If you could see into a crystal ball and see your life in 10 years, would you want to peek?

Hmm, this is tough. I wouldn't so much like to see my life, but I would sure like to know how my children are doing. Are they happy, doing okay in school, do they have friends and hobbies? I would love to know those things. Of course, you always have the risk of learning something bad which would ruin your happiness and enjoyment of the present. So I am going to go with the answer I used when asked about prenatal testing~I am happy to enjoy the present and confident in the strength of my family to handle whatever the future throws at us.

If you could see into a crystal ball and see your life in 10 years, would you want to peek?

I keep thinking about this, would I want to know? The curious side of me would want to know, but the practical side of me knows that it wouldn't do any good to see and that if anything it might make me not do thing or do things based on what I saw.


Favorite Rainy Fall Activity
Curling up on the couch and taking a nap with the kitties, with the windows open and the fresh air coming in.

Favorite Rainy Fall Activity

Spending the day doing nothing while my kids take really long naps!

Favorite Flower

One in a beautiful garden that is maintained by someone else? Or one that I can maintain while someone else watches my kids? Hahaha...okay, how about this:

You Are a Snapdragon

"Mischief is your middle name, but your first is friend. You are quite the prankster that loves to make other people laugh."

Apparently there is a quiz for everything on the internet. This one I found here.

Favorite Flower

I love fresh cut flowers, and typically love arrangements that are colorful - Daisy's and Gerber Daisy's are some of my favorites. I do love roses, especially a mix of all colors and kinds.



What Would You Change About Your Life Right Now?
I am happy with my life right now, I have a great job that I love, a house that I love, three kitties that I love. There are two things missing that I wish I could have, one would be to have my family closer and the other would be to hurry up and find Mr. Amy (ok not hurry up - but ya know). I would love to be physically closer to my family, however my life is here in MI and theirs is in MD, its not a bad thing per say - I think we value our relationship more because we don't get to see each other all the time. I have worked hard to be the Amy I want to be and now I am ready for someone to share that with, although as easy as that is to say - its much harder to to find.

What Would You Change About Your Life Right Now?

Win the lottery?! Seriously, having more money and the freedom that comes with it would be great. I have a good job, but it's not one that I love, only one that keeps us with medical insurance. I would love to have the freedom to do something different. I would also love to be able to afford a new house, with a better layout in a better school district. It would be wonderful to be able to give my kids every opportunity...therapists, activities like soccer/dance, etc. Otherwise, my life is pretty good!

Knowing what you know now, would you live your 20's differently?

Nope. Everything I experienced in my 20s got me to where I am today and I like my life. It's not perfect, but it's mine and I am happy. I met and married my best friend in my 20s and got pregnant with my first child. Not too shabby. Sure, there was some junky stuff before that point (a 4 year relationship with someone who was wrong for me, sadness over wondering if I would ever have the family I desired), but there were also lots of good times and good friends. No regrets.
