Blogger 411 Link Up

So, since I have been a little absent again, I thought this would be the perfect post :)  Plus, it just sounded like fun!

Go link up with Becky, now!  You can answer these questions, or come up with your own.  Basically, create a "get to know you post" and link up!

1. How long have you been blogging? And what got you started on blogging? Has your blog changed?
I have been blogging since 2006.  I started my blog on another forum, after reading a friends.  It really started as a wedding planning blog, a way to connect with other ladies and get ideas.  However, as the blurb on the right states, I have since divorced, moved home, dated and moved back in with J.

2. Did you go to college? If so where, and what did you study?
I did go to college at Grand Valley State University and studied Psychology.  However, after getting a job in the dental field, I put my education on hold.  Now I want to go back, but maybe moreso along the lines of Business Management.

This one is pretty boring, but we have stayed in the US.

4. If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would buy?
A home, and also pay off my medical bills.  Then the standard things like a new car, furnishings, clothes, etc.

5. What are your 3 biggest pet peeves?
Lying, chewing with your mouth open, and being a horrible friend

6. What is your favorite movie?
Def the Wizard of Oz.  I am obsessed!  I have tons of WoO shirts, 2 copies of the DVD (1 being the 70th Anniversary box set), and even red sparkly flats.  It has been my favorite movie since I was little.

7. What is your drink of choice; wine, beer, or liquor. Or Water, Soda, Tea?
I have always been a liquor girl, but have made the switch to wine in the past 5yrs or so.  More recently (like a month ago), I have been trying different craft beers, and they aren't so bad!  I can't drink a Miller Lite by any means, but a Bell's Cherry Stout is so yummy!

8. What is something you enjoy to do when you have me time?
Read a book, watch mindless tv, bubble baths, etc (that was actually my weekend this past weekend)

Jax Teller - VERY easy on the eyes:)

9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be?
Hmmmm... I would say Banana Republic.  I love the fit of their pants/jeans, and their tops are so classy and adorable.  Plus everything is so well made :)
 
10. What are the jobs you had in high school/college/the early years?
My very first job was working at Dairy Queen... I can make the curl on the cone like nobody's business :)
Then I started working at Target, and worked there until I was about 18.  I then took a job working for the dental office (actually worked FT at Target (Scheduling, clerical, etc), 25hrs/week at the Dental office, and took 18 credit hours at GVSU for a full semester... craziness!)

11. Show us the most current picture of you or you and your family.

 12. Where do you see your life 5 years from now?
I am hoping to really be settled.  I still would love to be working where I am, have a home with J and be able to travel more.
