5 Question Friday: April 29, 2011

So I know its been 20 days since I have posted, but finals are coming up which means I have projects and Im in mandatory overtime right now which means I am working a minimum of 48 hours every week! Talk about stressful!! But here is 5Q Fridays :)


1. If you could buy any car, money not an option, what would it be?
If money isnt an option I would have like 20 cars. Haha, but my top two would be

1. 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport in teal blue with white rimmed tires. Im a sucker for classic cars.


2. An orange 2011 Chevy Camero Convertible with white racing stripes.

2. What was your worst first date ever?

Ahaha. My worst first date was a "blind" date I let my friends set me up on my freshman year at FHU. The guy didnt talk. It was horrendous. Absolutely a wreck. We still laugh about that one to this day.

3. How old were you when you fell in love for the first time?

The first time I fell in love I was 16 years old. I feel in love with one of my best friends.

4. When was the last time you reconciled your checkbook?

Checkbook?! Who even uses a check anymore. Haha. Actually it was last week because I had to write two checks at the dr's office.

5. If you were going to fashion a "Wanted" Ad for a best friend, how would you word it?

Wanted: Searching for someone who is trustworthy, who can make me laugh, and who won't judge me for my lack of time. Someone who laughs at the stupid things and isn't afraid to call me out when I am out of line. Someone who is up for adventure and spontainty. Just simply putting it a person who loves life and is content with the small things :)

5 Question Friday :) April 8, 2011

1. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?
Oh me *sigh.* Just one? There are hundreds of things I would change. Literally hundreds of them. But if I had to pick one it would be my current bout of indecisiveness. Normally, I am a very decisive person-right now I dont think I could make a definitive decision if some had a gun to my head. Thats what I would change currently-

As far as long term, I would like to change my appearance. We will leave it at that- Plain and simple-my appearance :)

2. Write about a time when you got lost.
Ahahah. Well, let me think. Everytime I go on a road trip I get lost at least once, or go walking in the woods, or even walking downtown. I actually love getting lost. Ill drive backroads here with the windows down and music blaring and get lost BUT as far as getting lost stories...hmm. There is always the story where Christine and I almost died but here's a new one. One time when I was at FHU, I was with my friend Julie and we decided to go to Florence, Alabama for my Papaws birthday. Well we were making awesome time and then we got to this fork in the road. Julie said she knew where she was going because she had been there last week. So I took her word. False. She had no idea where to go. It turned out that a trip that should have taken us about 2 hours ended up taking us 3 1/2 hours. We guessed and checked our way to Florence after that for in road. I was laughing the whole time and Julie was crying. She was so upset we were lost. I thought it was hysterical. Finally, we got to Alabama after going completely the wrong way! It was fun once I got her settled down ;)

3. Camping or 5 star hotel?
It depends on who I am with. If I'm with my friends from here camping hands down. I love it. We camp a lot by the lake. I was actually there last night. It was amazing. We just laid by the spillway at the lake and watched stars. I would pick camping just because of the stars. If Im with someone who is going to whine the whole time about it being cold or the lack of electricity or the bugs then I would say 5 star hotel. BUT my personal preference is camping :)

4. Have you donated blood?

Yes! I love to donate blood. I think that if you are able to you should. I donated about 5 times now, but I currently have to wait two years because of a decision I made back in November.

5. Do you have a budget or do you 'fly by' most months?
I use to fly by UNTIL two weeks ago. Now I am on a very strict budget because I have to move out and by a new car. My poor Sally the Solara is dying. She shakes, rattles and sometimes rolls. She is on her last limb, so I have to by a new car :/ which means I am on a VERY STRICT BUDGET now. (at least that's what I keep telling myself)

My Birthday :)

Hello My Beloved Blog Readers!
I know Ive been totally slacking off of blogging, but yet again Im drowing. We are in "mandatory overtime." at work which results in my having to work a minimum of 48 hours every week :(
That equals very minimum free time for me, but I am making some tonight. There have been several times this week when I thought "Man, I want to blog about that." but I havent had time so Im going to play a little catch up from last week. Im going to tell you about both my birthday celebrations :)

Thursday: It was my 22nd Birthday. (yes, I know Im getting old). My Dad woke me up just to say, "Twenty-two years ago was one of the most special days of my life. I love you. Happy Birthday." I mean is there any more precious way to start off your birthday?! I came down stairs and mom had already left for work, but she had my presents wrapped and on the couch. I decided to wait because I know she like to watch us open them. As far as the day goes, it was pretty normal. I had school and a test to study for. After school I drove home changed and went up to the church. I decided to have a cookout instead of everyone going out to eat :) The party list were my closet friends that live here in Bowling Green/Alvaton/Westmoreland/Franklin: My parents, the Vann Clann(Uncle Bobby, Aunt Diane, Jessica, Mady, Austin(JV's bf) and B), Kanin, Klent, Matt, Micah, Emily, Emma, Caleb, and Sarah Beth and her two kids Julie and Christian. It was a blast. Klent and I(mainly Klent) grilled hamburgers and hot dogs before everyone got there. We did it pot luck style and I told everyone to bring a side dish! We just hung out and chilled for a while. We played basketball with some very intense games of Knock-Out. Once people started to filter out, those of us who were left watched Lion King 1 1/2. I know its corny, right? For my 22nd birthday we played basketball and watch Lion King. It is corny but it was perfect. There was no drama, no complication, no nothings. Just my best friends and I hanging out. It was amazing :)

Saturday was the second part of my celebration. I took the day off so Wade and Allison and my beloved nephews could come up and play. Those boys have my heart. They are all so different, but wonderful. I am head over heels for them. Anyways-Wyatt(the middle one) comes running in and say, "Amy! We were watching Tangled on the way up here in our car! We brought you Tangled too!!" My Sister-in-Law, Allison, said, "Wyatt!! That's her birthday present you werent suppose to tell!" He said, "Its ok. Amy wants to watch it now. She told me so." haha. I love them. My mom cooked the most amazing food ever. We watched some basketball(yea March Madness!), played in the play room, ate ice cream cake, open presents and watch part of Tangled. I love spending time with them. We played super hero, making a band, hide-and-seek, follow the leader, and colored. It's the small things in life. These are the memories that mean the most to me.

I know it doesnt sound spectacular, my birthday plans I mean. But that's me. I like things to be intimate and small. Laid back and with meaning. My birthday may not sound super spectacular to you, but it was perfect for me.

PS: My Little Brother and Mamaw called on my birthday which makes it even better!

Thank yall for reading.
