7 Questions & Pinteresting Things

What's better than one link up? That's right, two link ups! So, today I am linking up with Gentri for 7 Questions and Michelle for Oh, How Pinteresting! 

1. The Olympics are awesome! What's your favorite summer Olympic event to watch?
Gymnastics!!! I was a competitive power tumbler growing up and have always loved gymnastics. I was so obsessed with gymnastics and the olympics in 1992, that I made a book with every event and who got gold, silver and bronze. I cut out every picture in every magazine I could find a glued them in my book.

How awesome were the fab five this year?!?

2. If you could compete in an Olympic event (either season), which would it be? 

Gymnastics, obviously! The floor to be exact! I always loved competing. 

3. Would you rather be tickled to death or poked (by finger) constantly for the rest of your life?

First, I have to say that I love that Gentri clarified that it was by finger. Ha! I'm not really ready to die, so I guess I would have to go with being poked (by finger) for the rest of my life. It would be really annoying at first, but then you would probably just get used to it. 

4. Do you keep your nails long or short? Square or Round?

Short and roundish-square. I try to grow my nails out and as soon as they get long and pretty one breaks. It never fails! 

5. Do you think you're funny? 

I think I'm funny. Does that mean everyone else thinks I'm funny? Probably not! Last summer, I was going to the beach with some friends and every time we saw a cow I would let out the loud MAAAAAAAH!!!  One of my friends finally said, "Are you an angry cow?" and I said, "Yep, I have mad cow disease!" and then I proceeded to say, "I'm funny!" and then I laughed hysterically. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? 

6. When you have something you're looking forward to SO much, but it's still a ways off, what do you do to keep yourself distracted? 

I just try not to think about it too much and to go about my daily life as usual. I usually have a countdown and that makes me more fun watching the number getting smaller and smaller. Right now, it's 27 days until I get to see my momma! I haven't seen her in almost a year, so I'm super excited! And she will be here almost a full month. Yippee!!! 

7. You've just won an Olympic Gold Medal. What are you going to do next? 

Take some time off and relax. Maybe go on a lavish vacation somewhere I've always wanted to go.

7 Questions

Today, I am linking up with Gentri from Gentri Lee for 7 Questions.

1. What do you do when you're sick? (Do you act like a baby? Tough it out? Have any weird cravings? Cry?) When I'm sick, I cannot stand to be in my bed. I have to lay on the couch for some reason. I pretty much always want Chicken & Stars soup. That's right, chicken & stars, not chicken noodle. 

2. What do you do to find motivation when you feel you've lost it? It depends on what kind of motivation. If I need motivation for the every day things, I call my mom. She has always been my biggest motivator for many reasons. 

3. Do you wish time away or do you savor every moment? I am so bad about being excited for the next big thing that's going to happen that sometimes I forget to just cherish the day.

I just pinned this yesterday to remind myself to not wish the time away. 

4. If you could be any mythological creature, what would you be, and why? I actually had to look up a list of mythological creatures for this one. I'm gonna go with a Pixie. My cousins and I used to pretend like we were Tinkerbell when we were little. One day, we kept using baby powder as pixie dust and jumping off the bed swearing we got higher and higher each time. My aunt came home to a bedroom full of baby powder, she was not very happy. 

5. What is your current biggest weakness and are you working on fixing it? Lately, I've been lacking motivation to workout and eat healthy. Every day, I tell myself I'm going to go to the gym and every day I come up with some excuse not to go. Right now, I should be going to the gym, but instead I'm sitting here blogging. I try pinning healthy recipes, but then I always end up using the most unhealthy recipe. 

6. How do you greet someone when meeting them for the first time? If I've never talked to the person before, just a handshake and a nice to meet you. If it is someone I've talked to many times, but never met before (many of you bloggers) you can bet it would be a big ol hug! 

7. How do you grocery shop? (Do you write up a list? Go in with no idea what you're looking for? Have meal plans? Bring your own shopping bags?) I usually decide what I want for dinner, make a list and then head to the store. I've tried many times to make a meal plan for the week and go shopping on Sunday night, but then for some reason we only end up having half of what was planned and food ends up going to waste. 

 

 

Ok, now I'm really getting up off this couch and heading to the gym!

Oh, How Pinteresting

It's Wednesday and I'm lacking inspiration, so I decided I would link up with Michelle at The Vintage Apple and show some of my pinspiration this week. 

I am in LOVE with dresses lately, so it seems like at least half of my pins have been dresses. I think I'm going to start hoarding dresses so that I have a different dress for every day of summer.

*Also, you may have noticed my blog face lift. I wish I could say that I did it all by myself, but unfortunately that's not the case. I promised I wouldn't say who made my blog so beautiful, but I still had to give her a little shout out and let her know how much she ROCKS!!! Thanks again!*

Happy Hump Day!  

What I want Wednesday

Wedges!!! 

Phew, that's a lot of w's! 

With the gorgeous spring weather we've been having this week, I've been going through my closet and clearing out all my winter stuff. I realized I don't have a pair of fun spring/summer wedges. I probably have in between 75-100 pairs of shoes (no lie), but not one pair of wedge sandals. Ok, that's not true... I do have one pair of black gladiator sandals. But... I'm LOVING all the bright colors this season. 

Here are a few of my favorites: 

Steve Madden GETOUT

ALDO Calicott

Nine West LETITGO

Jessica Simpson MARCOS

Those are just a few of the wedges I'm lusting over this season. What are your spring must haves?
