I have several blog friends that have been doing or recently started Ten on Tuesday. In order to spice up the blog a bit, I thought I would write my first Ten on Tuesday. That means, this will most likely become a weekly thing. This weeks Ten on Tuesday questions comes from Chelsea. There are 15 questions this week, but I always say "the more, the merrier!" Be sure to stop by and check out her blog.
1. If you could change anything about your physical appearance, what would it be?
I have decided that too many woman focus on the negative about their bodies, instead of embracing what God gave them and I'm trying to do that. I haven't always been good at it and I wouldn't say that I am now, but for my children's sake, I want to do a better job at it. That doesn't mean there aren't things I don't like about my body, so please don't be fooled. So because you asked, I wish I didn't have dry skin. I was born with really dry skin and no matter how much moisturizer I use, I will always need more.
2. Is there a bad habit you find annoying in others?
Just one? I really don't like when people are late! To me, it's a lack of respect. However, you can get around this pet peeve of mine, if you call to let me know you will be late. Just don't make it a habit!
3. What is your favorite recipe using ground beef?
Texas Chili! It is such a comfort food and perfect for those fall and winter evenings. The spicier, the better.
4. What was your favorite book as a kid?
I loved the Romona Quimby books by Beverly Cleary. A close second would be the Baby-sitters Club by Ann M. Martin. Whenever I would go to the library, I would always have several of these books to take home.
5. Did you work as a teenager and if so, where?
Yes, I started babysitting at 11 yrs old almost every Saturday all the way thru Junior High. In High School, I worked at Fashion Park Cleaners. It was great, because we just tagged the clothes and sent them off to the plant to be cleaned. In our downtime, I would do homework, or visit with friends that would stop by. The hours were great - I was done by 7pm during the week and only had to work until 4pm on Saturdays.
6. Did you work while in college and if so, where?
Yes, I waited tables at Red Lobster. I actually met Adam's brother and sister thru waiting tables. I knew Laura & David before meeting Adam.
7. When you go to sleep do you like total darkness or semi? When you go to sleep do you need quiet or is semi noise ok?
I prefer total darkness and quiet. I'm such a light sleeper, that the littlest noise will wake me. The only time I don't mind, was after our children were born and sleeping in our room. I would turn our closet light on at night, so that I could easily check on them. However, I didn't get much sleep.The first night after each of them moved to their rooms, was some of the best sleep I have ever had.
8. When doing laundry, fabric softener or not?
Not in the washer, but I put the fabric softener sheets in the dryer.
9. Open toed or closed toed shoes?
I love open toed shoes. It's weird, I love to be barefoot but I love shoes. So open toed is the closet I come to this.
10. Would you rather be blind or deaf?
I think blind. I think you can tell more thru a person's tone than thru their body language.
11. Dangle or stud earrings?
Dangle, hands down. I LOVE accessories. I almost always have earrings in, unless I'm asleep. I will wear stud earrings if I'm working out or camping.
12. Bottled water or tap?
I prefer tap, as long as it has been filtered.
13. What do you put on pancakes?
Peanut Butter and syrup.
14. On a long trip, would you rather drive or fly?
Flying is way more convenient, especially now that I have kids. Living so far from our family, it's much quicker to take a 3 hour flight to Houston, instead of driving 24 hours. However, I have some of the best memories from long road trips. In one weekend, my friend Jeanna & I drove to South Carolina to see her boyfriend and my friend David. I think we spent a total of a day and half there, but we have some great memories from that trip. Another road trip involved Jeanna, Jonathan, David, & I driving to West Virginia for a ski trip. It never snowed, but it was another memorable week.
15. Do you prefer classic old movies or new?
This is a toss up. One of my all time favorite movies, It's a Wonderful Life, is a classic. However, one of my new favorite movies, Jules & Julia is new.

It seems that the overwhelming response is that everyone hates it when people are late.
That makes me wonder why so many people are late all the time!!!
You are one of those peanut butter on pancakes people! I think that's why my aunt asked the questions. She is "on of those" as well! Not me!
