{5} and {6} & {7} and {8} of fifty

I figured I should start answering more of these thought provoking questions otherwise I would still be doing these next year...

{5}What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?

Plain and simple: everyone to get along with one another. The hate and hostility towards people is honestly heartbreaking. The wars and fighting and killing of other human beings is just awful to me.


{6} If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?

Being a mom and taking care of my husband and children. One day this will happen but I still feel rich with everything that I have. But, most definitely being a mom to another little person would make be the happiest and I'd be the richest and happiest lady in all the land :) :)


{7} Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?

I'm settling...for right now. I hope to be able to do what I believe in when I am older but for right now I am settling. The only thing that I am settling for right now is my job. I am hoping to be able to find a different job after I get done with school, until then I will stay here. I am doing what I believe in all other aspects of my life though--school, family, hobbies.

{8} If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?

I'd worry less. I am such a worrier that I feel like I have wasted away a lot of my life worrying. If I were to only live until I was 40 years old, I'd quite the worrying and live more. Travel with my family and spend more time with them. I would definitely find a job that I love, and not settle for a job that didn't make me happy.

[3] If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

I think this is going to be a question that I'm not sure how to answer. I ask myself this sometimes and wonder why we do this. I try to not do things I do not like and focus more on the things I do like and become adventurous. But I believe we get into a habit of doing these unlikable things and we just do them or there isnt a lot of time in the day.

I do not like work, but I have to make money so that I can afford our apartment and pay our bills and spend money on the occasional beauty items :)

I really like blogging and shopping and organizing but some days there just isn't enough time in a day to get everything done that I want to get done. 

I vow, today, to do more things I like, and spend less time doing the things I dont like.

[4] When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?

I hope not. I hope that I really will be able to do a lot more than something I have said I wanted to do. I hope to become a mother (once, twice, maybe even three or more times over..), live in my dream house while being a stay at home mom, and I hope to travel. But most of all I hope my family, my friends, and I are happy and healthy.

I don't want these just to become things I've said I want to do, but I want to do them. So I hope that when it's all said and done, I will have done more than I have said---or at least done what I have said.

First post here

Wanna Know More?

I want to get a post up and this will be somewhat of a no brainer, not having to think kind of post. Something I need after today...

I hope to get some more substantial posts up soon, none with random and miscellaneous questions :)

This is called the Get To Know Me Tag. I found it on YouTube and decided to answer the questions. Let's see how this goes :)

I deleted some of the questions I have previously answered and ones that I didn't think were fun.

24. What makeup could you not live without? mascara

{1} and {2} of fifty

Gracie posted about these questions she got from Emily and I wanted to answer some of them. There are 50 questions that I thought would be good writing material!

I wasn't able to find the original questions from Emily so I googled and found them here:

[1]
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

I think this is such a great question. There are times when I feel like I'm 10, ha. And there are other times when I feel a lot older than I really am, especially dealing with some of the people I do on a regular basis.

But I really feel like I would be 20 years old. Now, granted, that is 3 years younger than I am right now, but I don't feel like I am 23 years old. I look at some of my classmates or other twenty-three year old individuals and I don't feel like I am on their level. Does that make sense?

When I was twenty years old I was becoming someones fiance and starting to plan a wedding. So there are times when I feel a lot older than I am, but also times when I feel a lot younger than I am. Definitely a weird place to be...

I am happy where I am in my life at the age I am.



[2]
Which is worse, failing or never trying?


Never trying is worse than actually failing. When you fail, you actually tried to do or work toward something.
My husband has always told me, "The worse thing a person can tell you is no." Granted, at that moment you may feel like that that "no" answer is awful, but afterwards you pick yourself up and keep trying.
If you didn't even try or ask for something, how do you know it could have worked. Its the never trying part that is worse.

If you fail at something, keep trying until you get the outcome you desire.






...Keep checking back for my answers to these questions..

For Future Pregnancies

         I love reading blogs and watching videos on YouTube directed more towards mothers to be and the mommy blogs and things like that. When these woman find out they are pregnant they chronicle their growing belly with pictures and questions about their growing baby. So I thought I would publish/post the questions that I have seen out there, so that when the time comes for me to chronicle our growing baby and my growing belly I have a specific place to find the questions.

Here are the questions that I have seen and heard that moms-to-be answer. If the time comes and some don't really need to be answered or it just isn't as interesting as I had thought, then I will delete and modify. On the other hand, if I find some questions that I think should be answered, I will add that to this list. 

How far along?
How big is baby?
Total weight gain/loss?
Maternity clothes?
Stretch marks?
Sleep?
Best moment of this week?
Have you told family and friends?
Miss anything?
Movement?
Food cravings?
Anything making you queasy or sick?
Have you started to show yet?
Gender/Gender prediction?
Labor signs?
Belly button in or out?
Wedding rings on or off?
Happy or moody most of the time?
Looking forward to?
Weekly Wisdom?
Milestones?

If you certainly want to answer these questions for your pregnancy, you can definitely use these questions!
