Linking up with these 3 ladies...
1. Where are you from? Have you lived there your whole life?
I am from California and I have lived here all my life. I grew up in Gilroy (the garlic capitol of the world). I have lived in pretty much a 100 mile radius of that town for most of my adult life. I currently live in the strangest part of California I have ever lived in, seriously it may as well be another planet.
2. How would you classify your clothing style?
I basically have a Summer and Winter uniform. Not kidding. In the summer I am all about short skirts, tee shirts and flip flops. In the winter is is long sweaters and tunics with leggings and Ugg boots. I have fantastic legs, I like to show them off.
3. What kind of car do you drive?
A Dodge Durango, Big daddy bought it for me for my birthday a couple years ago, and i luuuuuuurve it!
4. What would your dream home look like if you could have it (or already do!)?
It would have walls, windows and a roof and be filled with lots of kids, friends and L-O-V-E. I have lived in a lot of homes a DREAM home is one where you are happy, no matter what it looks like or how big it is...it's the people who fill it!
5. Do you have kids, and if so, how many and how old were you when you had them?
I have one daughter, Jordan. She came when I married Big Daddy. We ARE a match made in heaven though, she needed a mom like me and I needed a kid like her.
6. What is your favorite hobby?
Crafting. I use to be a big time crafter, now you can buy it just as cheap as you can make it, so I don't craft that often anymore.
7. Are you going to have any New Year’s resolutions for 2011?
Nah, I never keep them if they are called a resolution, it's the rebel in me.
8. What is something, if anything, that you’d want to change about yourself?
I wish I didn't take things so personally, since I am already my biggest critic.
9. What is something that you love about yourself?
I am kinda funny. But Big Daddy is funnier so together we are awesomely funny.
10. Pick one of the following: Someone to cook for you, someone to do your laundry, or someone to do your dishes.
Dishes. I don't mind cooking and I prefer to do my own laundry.
LOVE...I start listening mid November.
2. Are you one of those people who get all their shopping done early,
or do you do most of it in December?
I prefer to buy things through out the year, but this year we are still shopping and will probably will be until the day before Christmas.
3. Do you set a budget on how much you spend on each person?
YES and we are REALLY good about staying in the budget.
4. Do you send out Christmas cards?
I didn't last year but THIS year we have already ordered them and WILL be sending them out!
5. Do you enjoy this holiday season or does it stress you out?
Last year it stressed me out and I did not enjoy Christmas AT ALL. This year I am making it about my own personal enjoyment.
{one} I like to ORGANIZE my snacks. My snack jars make me happy. As you can see Goldfish are always a staple. Unless Costco is out of them, then the big jar remains unloaded. Because it is reserved for JUST Goldfish. It's the law.
{two} Best way to CLEAN my glass stove top is with a little fume free oven cleaner. Spray on and wipe off after it sits for a little while. Looks new. CLEAN a microwave by boiling a bowl of equal parts vinegar and water in the microwave. The steam releases gunk, wipe clean. Awesome.

Cool post. This is my first time on your blog so it was a great way for me to learn a little bit about you and your writing style. Thanks for sharing :). Hope you're having a good one.
I love love love the way you have your snacks organized!!! :) Thanks for the idea... you can find me @ www.trashybetty.blogspot.com :)
Gonna try the microwave thing because I just had my husband do it with only vinegar and it didn't work! lol
You ARE funny! :)
Fun post! I'll have to come back and do this after the kiddos go to sleep :)
LOve the containers with the snacks in them!! CUTE!
love the snack jar idea
I need to clean my microwave. Thanks for the reminder.
I never thought I'd leave Ca. Even as we bounced around in Utah, Idaho, and Wi, I secretly always thought I'd end up back in Ca eventually, until we moved here. Now I think we'll stay here a long time. Knock on wood. I am resolving to visit more often, though. Gotta soak up that perfect weather y'all have.
those glass containers are awesome! what a great organization tool
I also am a huge fan of the glass jars. What a simple but neat and interesting way to display and store useful items.
great cleaning tips. love the snack jars.
love what you said about the dream home.
and great other answers. always love when you do these. such great questions and answers! it's a rad way to learn more about you!
hugs! hit me up for my addy i know you wanna send me a card this year and i moved so you need my new one. ;)
Number 4...best answer ever! Love it!
I use water and lemons in my microwave...steams off gunk and leaves lemon scent!
Your answer to #4 made me cry. I love it! We still live in anapartment and i Hate that. I stress WAY too much over it. Thank you for reminding me what's really important!
And the microwave thing... best tip ever! I've done that for several years now and it works like a charm!
Great answers! YAY cleaning!
Laundry! Hated it:-)
So can I be nosy and possibly a little bit tacky?
J is not biologically yours? I totally thought she was yours not BDs. However it is, she is one lucky gal to be loved so much by two fantastic people!
It's always such fun learning more about you! Have a good one!
Some of your things sound like me! I'm a total rebel when it comes to resolutions, I take things super personally, and am my own worst critic, AND even the THOUGHT of someone else doing my laundry gives me hives.
However, I NEED to be more organized.
Perhaps I'll make THAT my resolution...hahaha!
I grew up not too far from Gilroy! In Oakdale (yeehaw!).
I love these. It is such a fun way to get to know someone.
Ooohhh & the oven cleaner, years ago I discovered that it takes Kool-Aid stains out of counter tops.:)
