A little about Me -Tom

Disclaimer:  This survey was made for a girl, but I made him fill it out anyway.  I told him it was for the children.  He always agrees to that!

Guilty pleasure?

Coca Cola.  I know I need to quit...   but I don't know how.  I'm addicted. 

Recent splurge?

Well, I've recently purchased several "splurge" like items.  It's Christmas.  Oddly enough, the two most expensive things I've purchased this year for Christmas presents have both already been returned. 

In bulk, I buy?

Coke, see above, and Ice Cream.  Never want to run out of either of these.  I don't know what I'd do.

My go-to play on 3rd and long?

I've always been a big fan of the 15 yard crossing pattern where the wideouts get the corners to "pick" each other.  The Greatest Show on Turf had this mastered.  Wish Bradford would try throwing the ball 15 yards down the field....  ever.

Comfort food?

Mashed Potatoes.  They go with everything for me.

For breakfast?

Sausage Muffin and a large Coke.  $2.16. 

For dinner?

Lasagna.  Pasta House's is the best outside my Mom's or Shannon's.

Love/hate relationship with?

The Rams.  Again, see above.  I wish they didn't stink, but the ugly truth is they have for a long long time now.

Can't stop watching?

Reality TV.  I'm not as bad as Shannon, but still pretty bad.  At least I don't watch VH1, Bravo, or E! reailty tv.

Dreaming about?

Financial Security.  There is nothing, ...nothing I want more than to know that we won't have to worry about how we'll pay for the girls' college, our retirement, or being able to live our lives comfortably.  Oh, how times have changed.  I used to want to be a rockstar.    

Every guy should have?

A standing card game.  Weekly?  Monthly?  I don't, but I'd kill to have a group of guys that lived close enough to still do this.

My style in five words?

Short.  Tall.  Philadelphia.

I love wearing?

Jeans.  I spend so much of my life wearing suit pants, nothing beats changing into jeans when I get home.

Dream job?

Well, if we're back to dreaming, I suppose "Rockstar" still fits the bill.  Over the years I've met so many people that have sooo much more talent than me...   and still haven't made it.  So, I'll leave the pursuit of stardom in dreamland.

A little about Me

Thanks to my sis at Tall Blonde Blog for this fun idea!

Guilty pleasure?

 

This time of the year, definitely mint M&M's.  This year I allowed myself 3 bags.  I had one in October when they first came out and then didn't allow myself anymore until December.  I think last year I had a bag a week.  Trying to be better about that now!

 

Recent splurge?

 

New shelves and light bar for our family room.  It was definitely a splurge but we still "saved money" with the one we chose.  Right?  It's possible to save money while buying something.  Just go with it!

 

In bulk, I buy?

 

Nothing really.  We are chronic runner outters.  We run out of something and run out to the store to get it only to be reminded that we ran out of something else and go to the store again.  Organized aren't we?

 

My go-to flower?

 

I have always liked classics so my go-to is the red rose.  I also love hydrangeas and gerber daisies.

 

Comfort food?

 

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!!!  Preferably chocolate with mint!

 

For breakfast?

 

Egg whites with hot sauce, green peppers, turkey pepperoni and one Laughing Cow garlic and herb cheese slice. Oatmeal with pecans and flax seed when I have less time.  Lots of coffee with almond milk and sugar-free peppermint mocha creamer!

 

For dinner?

 

This is kind of a tough one.  I really like anything cooked at home.  In the summer it's definitely barbecue chicken with Sweet Baby Rays and some sort of veggie side.  My hubby has turned into quite the grillmaster.  I also love anything Mexican or spicy. Out to eat - Buffalo Wild Wings - Buffalo Chicken Ranch Wrap with medium sauce. 

 

Love/hate relationship with?

Teaching again.  I love the kids, hate the BS that exists in schools now! 

 

Can't stop watching?

Eek.  Okay this is embarrassing.  Most reality TV!  The Biggest Loser, Amazing Race, Survivor, anything on Bravo or MTV, The Soup, Fashion Popo and my fave non-reality sitcom - How I Met Your Mother.

 

Dreaming about?

I dream about a lot.  Mostly where are we going on our next vacation or what "improvements" to the house can I drive my hubby crazy with today.

 

Every girl should have?

Great friends and family, a great "hair girl(or boy)", and an outfit that makes you feel beautful and confident.

 

My style in five words?

Classic, blue jeans, boho chic (I only wish I had enough style to pull this off), easy (get ur mind out of the gutter!), simple

 

I love wearing?

cute shoes

 

Dream job?

I have never been one to dream about my career and I was never a kid that said I want to be ______ when I grow up.  That's the honest truth. I have TOO MANY interests. Its hard to chose one thing. Being a MOM is #1!!!   Photography is my current passion. I'd like to be a school Counselor in my next life.
