Game Time..

I have been tagged by Gertie @ Losin' My Jelly Belly!    I LOVE these kinds of games!  They are so fun, and random.. :)   So Gertie asked 4 questions, and here are my answers..

1.  What is your favorite book?

i don't know if i have a favorite book.. i have a favorite type of books, which is romance novels.. :)

  i just can't get enough of them.. hehe

2.  Do you believe in paranormal activity?

i do.. i believe that my grandfather watches over me.. i've been in too many close calls (accident-wise) to not believe that someone is watching out for me.. but that's why i can't watch those movies because i just don't want to push my luck with my good ghosts.. ;)

3.  What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

this is a toss up for me.. i love me some ben and jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ( i used to eat their half baked ice cream, which was new york brownie and chocolate chip cookie dough mixed together)  and then i could eat a whole gallon of rainbow sherbert, given the time.. lol   :)

4.  If you were invited to be on Oprah, what would the show be titled?

 oh goodness, i have no idea.. i would love to be on a show about transformations, ala Kirstie Alley.. have a before picture, then show up in a bikini as my "after".. lol.. that'd be awesome! 

and now, I'm to ask 4 questions of my own and tag 4 people to (hopefully) answer them.. :)   so here are my 4 tags:

Becky @ Lost and Found

Joanna @ Diary of a Mad, Fat Woman

Stephanie @ Ms. Runnin Sole

Katie @ The Great Balancing Act

on to the questions:

1. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree, where would you spend it at and on what?

2. What is one of the top 10 on your "bucket list"?

3. What is one thing you are looking FORWARD to over the holidays?

4. Finish this sentence.. "All I want for Christmas is..."

I am lookin forward to your answers! :)

Just Dance Family Challenges

Check these out.. They are too hilarious not to watch.. one is of me and my dad, and the other is my little brother and my dad.. Fun times with the Just Dance games.. :)

 

my dad and younger brother doing the Just Dance 2 game.. their song was "Eye of the Tiger"..

love their feet when they are supposed to be jumping rope.. lol

this one is of me and my dad doing "Call Me" by Blondie..

I think it's off the first game version.. I kicked his butt.. lol

Without Further Procrastination...

Okay, so I've already blogged today, but this blog in particular is about 5 days in the making.. and I'm SUPER sorry that I haven't had the time to sit and do the actual work that comes with accepting these precious awards that people give out.. So here I am.. making the time after my workout to give praise and thanks to the people that I enjoy reading/enjoy reading my blog..

So if you've just tuned in to my "gorgeous blog", as one blogger has commented (thank you very much, btw!), I received the Happy 101 award on the 2nd from Blubeari, one of my blogging buddies..  ain't it pretty?!

So here are the rules.. copy and pasted from Blubeari's blog.. ;)

1) Post who gave you the award.
         It's amazing how close you can be to a person (distance-wise) and not know it.. me and Blubeari, the blogger who gave me this award, live only an hour apart.. how weird is that?!  I've only recently started following her blog, but I love reading about her kick-butt cardio workouts that I honestly wish I had the stamina to even try, let alone finish.. :)

2) State ten things you like

1. Zumba.. it's like going to the clubs to dance, without the cover charge, alcohol, and self-consciousness.. lol
2. Laughter.. without it, I'd honestly go crazy.. I laugh as often as possible, and it's not a cute giggle either..
3. My iPod.. again, without it, I'd honestly go crazy.. there are too many commercials on the radio.. grr!
4. The elliptical machine.. It's like running without the impact.. kinda..
5. Make it or Break it; Can anyone say 'guilty pleasure'?!!  (I agree with Blubeari on this one, so I'm leaving it.. lol)
6. Tanning.. it's my only vice, and I LOVE IT!!  It makes me so much prettier.. lol
7. Blogging.. I have attempted to blog in general before this.. and this is the only one that I actually keep up with.. thanks for the comments, support and love.. y'all are awesome!  :)
8. Shopping.. I don't just like it.. I LOVE IT!!  It's the most fun I can think of, to do alone of course.. lol
9. Card-making.. I like it so much I'm starting a small-business with my friend to sell our creations.. :)
10. My family.. they are awesome and very encouraging..

3) Give this award to three other bloggers and notify them with a comment


The three bloggers I am passing this on to are:
         1.  Baby Weight and Beyond: This woman is around my age, and is amazing in the fact that she's a mom and still managing to blog, raise her baby, and exercise.. I'm encouraged that if someone as busy as she must be can do it, then by golly so can I!
         2.  Live, Smile, Run:  The lady blogging here, Syl, is inspiring.. She put up a challenge to her followers and SO MANY people have joined her.. and I am one of those people.. It's nice to be a part of something so small, yet so big.. Thanks, Syl!
         3. Half of Jess:  While this isn't a blogspot blog, it's still one that I read a lot.. and have gotten involved with her challenge.. I love reading about her travels, her weight loss journey and hearing about how life is on the East Coast (as I used to live in Virginia Beach, VA and miss it sometimes.. lol)




Okay, now to Katie's game.. looks kinda fun, and it lets you know a little bit more about me.. :)

#1. What is your favorite color?
          Oh, goodness.. my favorite color is a tie between pink and purple.. my room is done in both colors.. I love them so much.. lol
#2. What is your favorite thing about bloggin?
            Honestly, I love having comments to read.. I could just write in a paper journal, but then I'd never hear other people's perspectives or advice..
#3. What is the single best moment of your life thus far?
            Um.. hmm.. I'd say it was initiating into my sorority, Phi Sigma Sigma.. and while I'm very happy about this, I think this is sad because I haven't had many "memorable" moments.. YET!
#4. What would you buy first if you won a million dollars?
             I'd pay off my parents mortgage, and BULLDOZE THIS SUCKER!!  lol.. and rebuild of course..
#5. Where would you live if you could live anywhere?
             The more I think of it, I really like Indiana.. The worst thing we have to deal with here, besides the BLASTED allergies, is tornadoes.. no hurricanes, no typhoons, no major earthquakes (knock on wood)..
#6. What is your dream job?
              My dream job is to be a Certified Nurse Midwife.. before I'm old enough to retire.. lol
#7. Dogs or Cats?
            Definitely cats.. I have 9.. inside my house.. and no, my house doesn't smell at all.. hehe
#8. Do you like cheese? (just to be silly)
            haha.. I love you, Katie.. who doesn't like cheese?!  well, besides the seriously lactose-intolerant.. lol.. I'm on a big swiss cheese kick right now, weirdly enough.. american is just blah compared to swiss.. ;)

Okay, so I'm supposed to pass this on to other people.. and I choose.......
           1.  Christina @ From Fat 2 Fit
           2.  Cara @ Between the Before & After
           3.  Blubeari @ Shrinking Blubeari

I know this is a short list, but I actually have been slacking on following other people's blogs.. which I intend to rectify tomorrow.. :)

Now for my 8 questions for these 3 ladies.. hmmm......

1. If you had 3 wishes, what would one of them be?
2. What is your ultimate goal, at this point and time?
3. Do you know what your Pace time is?  If you do, what is it?
4. What's your favorite season and why?
5. If you could have any piece of workout equipment (free to you), what would you want?
6. Do you have a "bucket list"?  If you do, what's one of the things on it (if you don't mind sharing)?
7. If you had a free UNLIMITED shopping spree at any store, what store would you go to?
8. Who is your biggest support in your life?
