30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 21-25

I know, slacking again, but again, I'm on vacation, so hopefully you can forgive me. :)

21. What's your favorite Broadway musical?
Well, I haven't seen a lot of musicals. However, for my first Valentine's Day with Seth, he bought me tickets to go see Jersey Boys. HOLY COW did I love it! The music alone was worth it. If you want a good one to go see, I would definitely recommend it. :)


22. If you only had 24 hours to live, what would you want to do?
See question 9-I can't believe this was on there twice! Geez!

23. Who's your favorite Care Bear?
I think my favorite was also Lucky Bear.


24. What do your parents do for a living?
My mom has always been a stay at home mom. Shortly after moving to central Florida she worked at the YMCA for a while in the nursery. She watched the kids and babies while their parents went and worked out and stuff.
My dad is a civil engineer. What does that entail? Well, I'm not quite sure. LOL! I know he works quite a bit and I know that he works hard. :)

25. Computer or television?
Oh, EASY question! Computer all the way! Seth and I don't have TV, we just have our computers. Growing up I always had TV, so it was weird when I didn't, but I realized that a computer can do everything that a TV can do. Plus, it gives us a lot of wonderful time together, so we don't have the distraction of a TV. Instead we will watch the few shows we watch on Hulu and then hang out on our computers. :)

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 18, 19 & 20

I'm on vacation-in Florida-but I thought I would make some time since I probably won't be for a few days. :)

18 What was your most recent trip of more than 50 miles?
A: Well, I'm in Florida now! haha! My sister just had her second child, a beautiful baby boy! I planned to come at this time, but the baby is just about 5 days old today, which is just precious. I'm definitely a proud aunt, and don't worry, I've already spoiled him tons! :)

Just look at that squishy face! So cute!! His name is Jonah Ryan Lewman and he was born on 09/19 weighing in at 6 lbs 13 oz. He's TEENY TINY!
19 What is your favorite pizza topping?
A: Honestly? Cheese. If I'm in the mood I'll have other stuff on it (tomatoes, jalepenos, onion, all kinds of stuff!) but in the end, the one main thing is cheese. :)
20 What is the worst thing that happened to you during the past week?
A: Well, today made me SO MAD! After a 4 hour layover in Minneapolis, I got onto the flight to Tampa. The woman in front of me decided to lean her chair back. Well, I'm tall, and when you do that, it squishes my legs. This is the conversation that ensued from that:
Me: Excuse me ma'am, but would you mind putting your seat up? See, I'm really tall and when you lean it back like that, it squishes my legs, and I also can't put my tray table down.
Her: No, I can't do that.

I decided that my next 2 and a half hours would be dedicated to making this woman's life hell. I chose to point out how much it squished my legs by digging my knees directly into her back. She later proceeded to turn to her friends and talk bad about me, how inconsiderate of me to do that to her. Bahaha! In the end, it amused me, but I was so angry that she was just so rude.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 16 & 17

Q: 16 What is the first think you notice about a guy or girl?
A: It's all about the eyes for me! I love blue eyes, they're definitely my weakness!


Q: 17 What was the last movie you've seen?
A: I think probably the one I remember the most was Paul. If you haven't seen it, go now. Not only do I have a very huge crush on Simon Pegg, but it was hilarious. If you watch it, definitely leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

And I might enjoy it even more because I have been to Roswell and seen all the cheesy things like the movie. :)

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 11-15

I know, I can't even keep up with this. But, I have good reason. I was away for the weekend, and I came back to my sister giving birth to a wonderful baby boy! Now I'm exhausted. And I leave Saturday to head back to Florida for a week to visit the new little baby! So, I'm going to try my hardest to do my challenges as they come. :)

11. Top 5 favorite bloggers you like to read
This is a fun one! I highly recommend these blogs! Also, these are in no particular order.
Spooky Pooky Creations
33 Stitches
Danielleorama
elycia
The Dainty Squid
12. A photo of yourself and what you did today.
Worst picture ever? Most definitely. Today, I worked. I plan on early bedtime to catch up from so much missed sleep this weekend. :)

13. Tattoos. If you have one, post it and it’s story. If not, what do you want?
I'm not going to list them all, but I will mention my favorite. It was my first one, added to years later. It's dice, my maiden name. I got it with my sister, knowing that we couldn't carry on the Dice name. There is a 4 on one dice to mark the people in our immediate family. There is a 2 on the other one to symbolize me and my sister. Years later me and my sister went back and she got Big Sis around hers and I got 'Lil Sis around mine. It's my first, my most meaningful and my favorite. :)
14. What type of music do you like to listen to?
Well this is an impossible question to ask me. Favorites are oldies, most definitely. Frank Sinatra, Elvis, anything classic rock-Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival. That's really just a few of my GIANT ipod collection. :)
15. Top 5 favorite Sports players (male or female)
I'm not much of a sports fan, except football. And I don't really have many favorite football players. Sorry! :)

I hope to be back tomorrow, after a lot of sleeping and resting, and back to my blogging schedule.

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 9 & 10

Just be a little bit prepared for my posts to be coming a few days at a time. Coming up I have some serious traveling coming up. This weekend I'm taking a girl-cation with some awesome girl friends to stay the night in Missoula to attend a Taste of Home Cooking Show and then shop! WOOHOO! Then, the following week I will be going back down to Florida to see my sister and the family if my sister EVER gets this baby out of her! :) I can't wait to see my niece and the new baby. :)

So, here's questions 9 & 10
Q: 9 What would you do if you only had 24 hours left to live?
A: Geez. I hate questions like this and thinking about things like that. UGH! I would spend the day calling/Skyping my family, telling everyone possible that I love them. I would want to curl up on the couch with my husband and just relax. I think that's all I would want to do, just say my goodbyes and relax.

Q: 10. What is the first thing you notice about people?
A: At least this isn't as depressing. HAHA! The first thing I notice is eyes. They have always been my thing. I'm a COMPLETE sucker for blue eyes. I always tell Seth that that's how he got me, with his eyes. It might also be why I love Frank Sinatra so much. :)

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 8

Q: 8. Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?
A: Well, this kind of all depends. For example, what kind of bear? A grizzly, no. But a black bear I just might be able to take! But of the two, probably a swarm of bees. Why? Because this looks pretty cool. :)

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 5,6 &7

I know, I've been MIA for a few days, but Seth and I have been out of town. So, I'm making it up to you by doing a few days at a time. :)
Q: 5. What is the best piece of advice you've received?
A: I've received a lot of good advice. I think one of my favorites was written in a card that we got for our wedding. It was from Seth's grandmother. Inside it said: "Of all the advice I could give, I think the most important is to never go to sleep angry."

Q: 6. Were you ever a boy/girl scout?
A: I was actually a girl scout until I was in high school! I really enjoyed it and met some great friends!

Q: 7. Summer or Winter?
A: WINTER!!! I love more than anything to sit by the window, watch the snow fall and have a nice hot bowl of soup. :) Living in Montana has given me A LOT of wonderful winter memories and really experience the winter. I love it!!


Come back later for some other fun stuff that I've been doing. I'm going to share a product review and maybe even a project or two! :)

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 4

Q: 4. Do you believe in soul mates?
A: This one is actually really tough.
Short answer. No.

I believe that relationships do or do not work out for different reasons. I don't believe that Seth and I were meant to be together and he's the only one for me in the world. We are together because we work together. We have amazing communication. We talk about EVERYTHING. We share our fears and our dreams and we talk about silly stuff all the time. We just work together to make it work. I believe that this is the reason that we're together, not that he's the only one in the world for me.
I feel that soul mates sounds too simple. I think we're a bit more complicated than that. :)

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 3

Q: 3. Top 5 favorite Board Games
A: This is kind of a difficult one. I have games that I like now, and ones that I liked when I was little. I'll post my favorites from now though. We don't play a lot of board games, so this post may take me a while. haha!

1: Apples to Apples

I only have 1 rule with this game. HAVE FUN! I've played with people that really play it seriously. BOOOORING! I played with my good friend Donna and we had a GREAT time!

2: Monopoly

Good old fashioned fun! -as long as I'm the top hat....-

3: Scattergories

Definitely one of my favorites!

4: Yahtzee!

"Amy, do you seriously have Muppet Yahtzee?! What are you, 5?!"
Yes, I do have Muppet Yahtzee. :)

5: Clue

"Wow, Amy, all these theme games, you must really be 5."
Yes. I actually own Simpsons Clue. It was a wonderful thrift store find. :)

See you all tomorrow!

30 Day Blog Challenge-Day 2

First, I would like to start this blog out by thanking all of you! Sometimes when I lose my motivation to blog, I'll do something small and silly and then the comments come rolling in. I read each and every once of them! Thank you all SO MUCH! You rock! For this, I may do a giveaway soon on my Facebook fan page! Stay tuned. :)
And if you're not a fan, you better hurry up and become one! :)

2 How many languages can you speak?
A: I wish I can really fluent in so many languages, but I excel in only 2. I consider myself VERY fluent in English and just a little bit in American sign language.

When I was in high school, I took 3 years of sign language, even chose a college that specialized in sign language and special education. My goal was to become a teacher for the deaf. I always just thought it was a beautiful language. I've since learned that I don't want to be a teacher, but just maybe one day I might go back to school to maybe finish a 2-year degree and become an interpreter. :)

A: Oo, wow, this is a VERY hard one. I'm going to go ahead and get complicated with this, and show you each of my favorite foods. LOL!
Favorite all time food that I believe that it goes with EVERYTHING: garlic.

Roast it, put it in sauce, put it on bread, make your own garlic butter, do whatever you choose, I can guarantee that I'll love it. I believe that once you think you have enough garlic in something, put in another clove. :)
Dessert: Hands down, cannolis.

Do we see a pattern? So, I suppose I can say that my very favorite food is anything Italian.

30 Day Blog Challenge!

I want to apologize to EVERYONE for my lack of blogging! I can almost feel the angry mob with torches on their way to my apartment.
But, I have some good excuses/reasons. Ready?
#1. My mom recently came to visit! YAY! My family hasn't been out to see me since I moved to Montana, and it was so wonderful to see her and spend time with her. Which, leads me to #2.


#2. While my mom was here, we spent a fair amount of time shopping. I LOVE LOVE LOVE shopping, and I got to go to some new stores that I had never been to. Once of them was a place here called The Quilt Away Shop. It was floor to ceiling with fabrics. We spent hours in there, just looking through all the fabrics. Did you know that they now have fabrics that are reminiscent of the 1930's, but they're new?
So, quick sidebar. Growing up, there was one possession of my parents that I coveted above everything else. It's a quilt. My great grandmother on my Dad's side made it. When I was sick, that quilt was MINE. I swore that it healed me, and my dad would sit with me and explain where all of the fabrics came from, whether it was curtains from their living room to one of his sister's dresses. The memories that the quilt held started long before my memories started with it. I now wait impatiently for the large package under the Christmas tree to be that quilt, but I know better because my dad would never part with it. However, it's nice to have hope, right? :)
So, the 1930's fabric that I saw in the quilt shop reminded me of my great-grandmother's quilt. They were beautiful, simple, retro, yet new. Of all of them I picked one with retro patterns to make myself some beautiful kitchen curtains. After that, I might have to pick up some of the other fabric to make myself my own quilt. :)

#3. HALLOWEEN!!! That's right ladies and gents, it's time to start getting ready! I'm planning a swap with my 2 favorite crafty ladies, so I will be getting ready for that SOON!

#4. I'm working on PROJECTS PROJECTS PROJECTS! Here's a new one! These are now available in my shop, and I will be taking custom orders for different colors. Aren't they cute?!


Ok, enough excuses. I need a bit of a blog motivation. So, here it is! The 30 day blog challenge. I found this on another blog, and this seems like the perfect way to get me out of my blogging rut. :) So, keep looking out for it, I will probably be posting the very first one right after this.
I hope everyone is doing well and I hope that everyone had a good long weekend. :)
