FMM: Quick and Random
Quick and Rando
Quick and Random
1. Choose
three songs that would be on the soundtrack of your life. "Bruised
but not Broken" by Joss Stone, "It’s My Life" by Bon Jovi and
"Girls Just Want To Have Fun" by Cindy Lauper.
2. Share the
details of one project that you're currently working on. Not
currently working on a major project. But I have been doing a mini nail project
for breast cancer awareness.
3. If you
could learn to do one thing overnight what would it be? I'd learn to ball
room dance, before I die I wanna do a sexy Sambra roll.
4. If you
could be a fictional character which one would you be? .Elinor Dashwood...I just love that book/movie
5. What's your
favorite thing about the month of October? Football, and every
day in the month of October I try to wear something pink in honor of breast
cancer awareness, then the month ends with Halloween….my favorite holiday
6. Share one
TV show that you're embarrassed to admit you watch. Couples
Therapy on VH1. It’s a train wreck and I watch every episode faithfully more
than once. I even have my mom watching it. This whole Courtney Stodden/Doug
Hutchinson gross me out, yet intrigues me .
7. Name one
friend that you're thankful to have in your life today. I'm
extra thankful for my cousin and good friend Aisha, we are kindred souls in
more ways than one.
8. What was
the most relaxing part of your weekend? The entire weekend was
pretty relaxing; we got a lot of rain in Chicago this weekend, so everyone was
pretty mellow and lazy…even my cat
9. Do you like to dance? I
love to dance, but I don’t do it will… I can’t even describe it properly… it’s
a mess.
10. Share one
thing that you're looking forward to before the end of the year. I don't know if I'm specifically looking forward to anything. I just want to continue the year in a positive and healthy way.

FMM: Uniquely You
Uniquely You
1) Do you prefer to talk or text? Seriously it
depends on the person, for example….if it’s my mom defiantly talk. I can be
texting her for 30 minutes and call her and she will ask me exactly what we
texted about… better to save my fingers and simply call her. And let’s be
honest there are people that everyone prefers to text cause if you call them
(and they pick up) you will be on the phone with them for hours talking about
everything from their toe fungus to what they ate for lunch two weeks ago
2) How often do you make your bed? I make my
bed every day. I have to. My room might be a mess, but at the end of every day
I know that I will come home to a nicely made bed with a hint of Lavender Vanilla
spray (try it people…. its amaze-balls!!)
3) What sounds do you hear right now? My cat
Elmo snoring … he’s sleeping peacefully while he demanded that I wake up and
feed him
4) List three things that you always carry with you. Phone,
wallet and a bottle of water… I will start to panic if I don’t have any of
those things with me
5) What are your favorite TV shows? Really? And
easier question is “Tyra, what don’t you watch?”... pretty much anything on CBS
except Big Brother (I don’t specifically have an issue with CBS as a network…
but I never forgave them for passing up on Ringer and placing it on the CW where it died a
cruel and painful death…I think it would have done a lot better on CBS….I take
my TV VERY seriously)
6) Is there a hobby that you’d like to devote more time
to? If so, what is it? I really want to get back into cross-stitch, it’s
so relaxing but it’s time consuming because I really need to focus on just that
which means, computers and TV have to be off
7) What is your favorite drink? I am strangely addicted to Crystal light,
when I gave up coffee and soda CL became my go-to drink...I go to my mom’s
house and drink up all of hers, them come home and make my own… I don’t make
like a little water bottle… oh no! I will make gallons...
8) Share
a couple of cool facts about your family. Apparently my
mother holds a patent for a specific kind of liner used in caskets…
9) List one thing that you will do for yourself today. I
will continue to dedicate myself to being healthy and losing weight

FMM: Fall Favorites
Fall Favorites
1. What is your favorite thing about this time of year? This
time of the year reminds me when I was younger and going back to school,
wearing my new school clothes and seeing my friends again. As I got older
autumn has always been about renewal, letting the mad habits fall away like the
leaves and start fresh again.
2. What do
you hope to do again before Summer is officially over? Walk
barefooted in the grass.
3. When did you
last go on a hay ride? It was about 3 years ago, it’s not a
memory that I remember fondly. I distantly remember a lot of itching and
sneezing AND bad language
4. What is your favorite pumpkin dish? I
have recently learned to love pumpkin. 30 some odd years without pumpkin
anything… (can you imagine?). But I think I would say pumpkin spice bread is my
favorite.
5. Do you decorate your home for fall? No
I save all my decorations for Christmas.
6. Do
you have any hobbies that are seasonally specific? If so, what are they? I love attempting to craft, and
there are some projects that actually get finished. I usually save all my
needle craft for the winter time.
7. Apple cider or hot chocolate? Such a hard choice… why must you
make me choose?
8. Are you a fan of football? If so,
who is your team? Yes!
Green Bay Packers all the way!!!
9. Share
a fond Fall memory. My
very first fall in Las Vegas, it made me truly miss seeing the leaves changing,
feeling that moist, crisp evening air. Smelling the dew on the grass right before
it frosts over. Living in such a dry places makes me miss simple things like having 4 seasons.
10. It’s not Fall until…You
find pumpkin spice stuff everywhere… it used to be when Starbucks came out with
the pumpkin spice latte (but I have stopped drinking coffee about a year ago)
but I guess that still counts. Instead of drinking the coffee, I start burning
my pumpkin spice scented candles.

FMM: Tech Questions
After reading on of my favorite blogs Bella on the Beach,
who participates in FMM(Friend Making Monday) faithfully I decided to take the
plug and do it as well!
For those of you who
aren't familiar with how this works take a moment to answer this week’s
question on your own blog then add your link in the comments section at:
www.alltheweigh.com so we can all see
your FMM questions and answers. Please invite your blog readers to add their
links here too so everyone has to opportunity to be seen. The idea is to
connect with other awesome bloggers so take a moment to post your own FMM post
and comment on a couple of other posts. Now it’s time for this week’s topic!
1.
PC or
Mac? I have always had a PC. I would
love to own a Mac, and I always say that when I grow up I’ll get one… right now
it’s simply a money thing… they are simply out of my price range
2.
When did
you get your first computer? The very first computer we had as a family was
a Tandy computer. I didn't own my first computer until I went right before I
went off to school.
3.
Do you
use cable, DSL or something else? I
have cable internet. And our home is
connected wirelessly. I find myself annoyed when I go to other people’s houses
and they don’t have a wireless connection. I finally talked my parents into
it….
4.
When
choosing a laptop, do you think it’s more important to choose the fastest one,
or the lightest one? Weight never
comes into consideration, because I rarely lug my laptop around. I always look
for something that has the specific requirements that I need…also something
that’s gonna be sturdy
5.
What kind
of cell phone do you own? I like my phone;
it does what it needs to. I'm currently using a Samsung Gravity Smart. But I
would trade this sucker in a heartbeat if T-Mobile had iPhones’. But alas T-Mobile and Apple have yet to come
up with an agreement.
6.
How do
you carry your laptop when you travel? I still don't have a case, my newest laptop is
a behemoth at 17.4 inches and it can't fit in any of my bags.. and just
yesterday I needed to take it to a meeting so I warped her up in an old
sweatshirt... nice and cozy (but ghetto)
7.
How many
e-mails do you send on an average day? I'm not sure, but I do know that I
receive more emails that I send.
8.
Do you
ever blog using your iPad or similar tablet? Nope, seems too cumbersome for
me...I want until I'm near a computer
9.
What do
you use more often – a desktop or a laptop? I use a combination of the two,
but I typically use my laptop more often.
10.
As a
blogger, are there other gadgets that you need to get the job done? If so, what are they? My camera and my cellphone I like to add
pictures (I think they make the blog more personable)
