This is the famous "Ten Questions" as popularized by James Lipton on "Inside the Actor's Studio," originated by French television personality Bernard Pivot, after the Proust Questionnaire.
1. What is your favorite word? Poop, it always makes people laugh or smile when you use it in lieu of shit.
2. What is your least favorite word? nausea...cause it takes too much concentration to spell and it is an icky word
3. What turns you on? Im weird. I love bald heads and big muscles. But being silly and confident is also a turn on. Or when my husband kisses me just below the ear.
4. What turns you off? Beer smell. Let me clarify. I love beer. And I don't mind other people drinking it. But when you drink excessively and I'm stone cold sober, I find the beer stench oozing from your pores to be completely appalling. (im with brandy on this one!)
5. What sound do you love? Birds chirping on a spring morning, rain on a tin roof
6. What sound do you hate? rain coming through the roof, babies when they have that blood curdling cry/scream
7. What is your favorite curse word? Bitch, it is just fun to say
8. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt? A cheerleading coach (if they made money)
9. What profession would you not like to do? Brittany Spears' publicist, or George W. Bush's future case worker
10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gate? Welcome!

Honest Scrap
"The Honest Scrap award comes with a caveat or 2. Firstly you have to tell your readers 10 things about you they may not know, but that are true. Secondly you have to tag 10 people with the award."
This is much harder than I thought it would be! I tag all that read this!
1.) I look like a cute little innocent girl, but my favorite band is Nine Inch Nails and I have a tattoo of their cover art on my hip. I have seen them 4 times in concert...hopefully 5 here in the near future! That seems to suprise everyone for some reason, like Im supposed to love Brittany Spears or some crazy shit like that!
2.) One of my favorite things to do while I'm waiting for my water to heat up for a shower, is get naked and flex and pose in the mirror. My husband hates it, but I love it. I wish I could do a fitness competition and pretend to strike the poses they do for those! I'm such a dork!
3.) I love how skunks smell. Not the overbearing, you can taste it skunk, but that subtle yet distinctive smell you get about a mile before you actually see the dead animal on the road. I don't know why, but I like the smell. But I absolutely hate the smell of marijuana.
4.) I have never tried smoking anything. Cigarettes, the maryjane, crack. Nothing. I am proud to say I have never tried any drugs. One of the few things I try to always hold on to...I am friends though with people that were addicted to crack, meth, coke...you name it, they did it. They are clean now and I am so proud of them!
5.) I always wanted to be a boy growing up. I had all brothers, almost all male cousins, and mostly guy friends. I didn't understand why God punished me and made me a girl. I had C cup boobs by sixth grade and tried to hide them in a sports bra (or 2!) until I was almost a senior. The first time I wore a dress by choice was to my Freshman homecoming...when I got some attention from a boy I liked, I became more comfortable with my female self. I am still a tomboy at heart though!
6.) I love riding motorcycles! I had a 2001 Honda CBR600 F4I until it got stolen and wrecked. It is a sport bike and was great at the track where my husband raced it. It was always great to see a 1000cc bike pull up next to mine and watch it get smoked, then I would laugh when the guy with the already bruised ego watched me climb on my beautiful bike and ride away. I can't wait till I can afford another one! Nothing looks better on a bike than a chic!
7.) I coached cheerleading for 3 years at the junior high in Bellevue. I don't look like your typical cheerleader at all, but I cheered for seven years in school and was an all-american for 3 years. I loved coaching and hope that my job will allow me to coach again in the future. I felt more fullfilled as a cheer coach than anything else I have ever done.
8.) I had a crush on one of my dad's friends while growing up...he was only 14 years older than me...and I always wished that he would have asked me out when I turned 18...but he never did...sigh. No, I am not giving up the name of the guy...I still kinda crush on him! Haha!
9.) I did a radio show in college topless...to raise money for a charity for my boyfriends fraternity. There were only 2 other people in the room (one was my boyfriend, the other was his friend) and I did it more as a dare than anything. Basically, listeners called in and we did things that they asked for money for Relay for Life. I got them a hundered dollars for doing it for 20 min...my co-hosts were very pleased with the dare! At least I didn't have to chug the bottle of hot sauce!
10.) I have only gotten my hair professionally cut around 10 times in my entire life. My grandma was a beautician so I always got free hair cuts...now I have to pay for them and that sucks. It is hard for me to spend money on my hair, even though I love how I feel after a fresh hair cut...and I have never colored my hair (I don't count my run in with sun in back in the summer of '96.)
Whew, that was hard!

update! IIII"MM BBAAAACCKK!!
Sorry for the long delay in blogs. I live in BFE and it costs a small fortune to get the internet in the area where I live, and I refuse to wait in line behind pre-teens at the library to use the computer long enough to log on and then back off again.
My surgery went really well. It was all over very quickly and the pain wasn't horrible. I feared for no reason. I was off my pain meds by day 3 post op. My doctor is really impressed with my recovery and I am back at work 2 weeks earlier than expected. At my follow up the doc let me know how happy he was that we made the decision to treat this aggressively. The cancer had already gotten to my uterus. Now I get to go in for 3month physical exams so the doctor is going to become best friends with my female parts. Good times. It's better than the alternative though. Besides, every woman needs a good man in her life right?!
I found that daytime television sucks while I was off work: Tyra gets annoying and Maurry is just stupid...and what's with all the judge shows? I don't get it. I did re-establish my relationship with my son, my dog, bully. He loves me more than daddy now. (we are sick people and treat our dog like our son...it is a good thing we can't have children because we would say things to our child like, "Daddy doesn't love you as much as I do, he doesn't give you treats and take you for rides." We are messed up individuals.) He didn't tear up the house like I had forseen upon my return to work, which I was thankful for.
I started going to the gym again...my old, original gym from when I was 17. I'm excited and already feel better. I feel at home there and get to see my old lifting partners and an old boyfriend that gives me great motivation. I want to lose 40lbs. at least 20 by my little brother's graduation from basic training. I don't want to be the fat sister anymore...my brother lost weight, so can I, damn it! I just have to get cleared from the doc to start running...he thinks I am over-zealous, but I figure, I will know when I am doing too much, so I lift more than he has cleared me to and am back to shrugging 150lbs (I used to do 220) and benching 115 ( I used to do 145.) Squats are a different story, I am a weakling there, but did leg press 220...I was way impressed with myself, but squats are still at 60lbs. Oh well, one day I will be the lifting goddess that I used to be. I have my bikini sitting on my dresser for motivation. I only wore a bikini one summer, mainly because my mom made me feel fat most my life, when I had a kickass body. Glad I got over that one before college!
So, all in all, everything is well. I am actually better than I was before and now officially period free! Take that! Haha!

This was fun!
From Jakezilla!
My band: Elizabeth II
Album Title: Mayor's cup
Cover art
Want to do it yourself, here are the instructions from BuzzFeed:
Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “random” and the first article you get is the name of your band. Then go to “Random quotations” and the last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. Then, go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” and the third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Deadline fast approaching
I know it has been a while since I have written anything, and for that, I apologize. My time has been pretty used up lately and I hate that. But also my emotions have been on a version of Cedar Point's Demon Drop for the last week or so...up and down...pretty much all over the place.
My surgery is thursday...came quicker than I thought it would, and I am pretty much ready for it. More so than having it finally over, I am looking forward to actually sleeping. I have had difficulties lately in that department for good enough reasons and I can't wait for the cocktail to knock me out on thursday morning. I think I am mentally prepared though and I am getting my house in order before it is at the mercy of my husband, who isn't the cleanest fellow in the world!
I had my cousin's baby shower on Sunday. It was so much fun seeing family and catching up with everyone. My cousin has been waiting for this little bundle of joy for over 10 years...and after losing twin girls that were almost full term last year, the entire family is overly excited. She is past the point of most bad things happening and if she delivers now the baby will make it. I am so happy for her. She is truly glowing with the pregnancy even though you can still see a twinge of worry on her brow. She got so many gifts and the little girl is going to be wearing 3 outfits a day and will still have piles that she didn't get to wear before she outgrows them! I can't wait to meet Baby Ryleigh!
With all the sleepless nights, I have been getting ample time to write my little brother. I am getting concerned because I have only gotten his one letter, which was written while he was waiting for boot camp to start. I know, I know. He is probably just too busy or too tired to write, but I am his big sister and it is my job to worry about him! I hope I get a letter soon!
My journey with the Twilight series is coming to a close...only 100 more pages to go in the final book. I am sad to see it end and hope it has an open ending for possibly more books. I am always hopeful! My girlfriends and I have decided that when the DVD comes out we are going to have a cheesy high school-like slumber party, complete with manicures and adult beverages! We are so dorky...but that is us.
Well, it may be a while before I get to write again! Will post again when I'm not doped up on vicodin making incomplete sentances about unicorns and green beans with easter eggs!

Let down again...
I hate holidays, well, I love them, but I hate them because my husband does not celebrate them. Every holiday I get my hopes up in anticipation thinking that this is the holiday that my husband might get the clue that I would enjoy celebrating it, and every time, my hopes are dashed by 10am. Im not talking flowers and candy, jewels and furs...I'm talking a stinking card, hand made for all I care! So Saturday I wake up, make my coffee and give Kevin his card. He just looks at me and then goes, "Oh!, I was going to make you breakfast!" 2 hours later, he's still sitting on the couch, and still no breakfast...I tell him to forget it. We head to town to go get groceries and we stop at the movie place to return the DVD's we had rented last week, he TELLS me, "I am going to run into Drugmart and get you are card." I just look at him...then I say, " you know what, it's not worth it if you don't think about it before hand. I don't want to sit in the car while you go pick me out a card and then come back ans ask to borrow my pen to fill it out." He just doesn't get it. So of course I mope around the rest of the day, cause I'm sick of there being no romance in our relationship. I can only do so much. I made a nice dinner that night: steaks, baked taters, fresh green beans, and rolls...I get a thanks, no help with the dishes, while he goes and plops his butt on the couch and is asleep by the time I get done. It's enough to make a girl cry. So, in order to cheer myself up, I am going to buy a valentine's day present to myself tomorrow...the last two books of the twilight series...pooh on you kevin. I will always have Edward.

This one's for Brandie
So I am 10 chapters into "New Moon" and Edward is gone...where the hell did he go!?! I'm going to be way pissed if the author pulls an Anne Rice move and doesn't mention him again til the next book. I'm getting more and more anxious as the pages turn...blast it all!
