{1} If money didn't matter, where would your perfect vacation take place? Briefly describe.
I know this is not a really expensive vacation, but it could be if I did everything I want to do in one LONG stay...Maui. It is my favorite place to be. I love it there. I love the people and the culture, it is the MOST Hawaiian of all of the islands. I could spend all day on a snorkeling adventure, take a drive on the road to Hana and swim in hidden waterfalls, or just spend the day laying on the beach with the sand between my toes. There is no other place I enjoy vacationing than there. Our last visit was in 2006, I think we are due.
{2}What's a bad habit that you have (or had) that is/was hard to break?
Gossip, I just don't do it anymore. I lost a few friends over this change mostly because it would start and I would squash it. I have seen too many people get hurt and I don't want any part of it. I was recently the topic of some gossip and somehow accidentally got one of the text messages going back and forth about me. Broke. My. Heart. But it was a good reminder of the person I am striving to be.
{3} If you weren't on a diet or counting calories, what would you like to have for dinner tonight?
I never count calories, that is how I keep my awesome curvalicious figure. I know you were wondering what my secret was.
I would have Sushi....I am always in the mood for Sushi.
{4} If you had the chance to interview anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and what's one question that you would ask?
Not to get all serious...but seriously, I would ask God why He hasn't blessed me with children of my own.
I DO feel blessed to have Jordan in my life and often forget I didn't give birth to her.
But I want the pregnancy and all of the excitement that comes with motherhood, that does not include having to share them with another mom.
It is the one prayer, wish, dream that I have ALWAYS asked for and it has never happened.
I want to know why.
{5} Describe yourself in 6 words.
Mom, Real, Funny, Educated, Creative, Loyal.
(go check out my VLOG for May and you give ME 6 words that YOU would use to describe me...that would be fun)
This was fun thanks Impulsive Addict!

I love Maui! It's so beautiful and laid back there!
Oh man...I typed everything and lost it...
I'd say
Funny, witty, smart, beautiful, friendly, genuine
mmmm...sushi, now I'm craving it at 5 in the morning :)
My heart breaks for you not having been able to experience everything there is about being a mom. I always have wondered why these unfit mothers can have all of these children when sweet deserving women like you can not. Jordan is extremely lucky to have you just as you are to have her!
I think you are funny, sweet and giving...3 qualities that are a must for any friend of mine!
Hawaii is a beautiful place. I would love to visit there someday too!
Happy Wednesday!
I have never participated in this linky party. I might try to join in on the fun late this afternoon. Great answers, and I love sushi, too. Thanks for hosting yet another great linky party!
xoxoxo,
RIcki Jill
Good interview!
Oh this is a fun one for sure,, its early here and I just did my posting but I too will come back later to join in.I can alwyas expect a fun time when I come here,, hope the suns shinging on you today,, I love the answer about your curves,, (I can relate to that one) but heart squeezed a bit when you said you would like to experience pregnancy,,love and hugs from canada,,
Yay for WWTKW!! I'm off to my first conference session but will be back at lunch to check out everyone's answers!
I said Hawaii as well. And I too am always down for sushi. In fact, I kinda want some right now!
I tried sushi but it just wasn't for me, but it may not have been the good stuff either.
That's a good question for God, one that I, too, want to ask. And yet, at the same time, I know that I already have way more in life than I deserve. Sometimes I wish that desire did not leave such an immense emptiness though.
So sorry you were hurt by gossip, but proud that you are choosing to rise above! Maybe you need to add "strong" to your list!
I loved #4. You are a Psalmist. I think, in the end, the ability to ask why is so crucial to our own theology and humanity.
I think you're neat.
I've never been to Hawaii. Is it really that great?
I'm back and this looked like so much fun I decided to play along- you have the best link ups- I just need to remember them. :)
Hawaii is on my someday list- now to win a trip. Or the lottery.
Ohhhh Hawaii - my bff was just talking to me about going over there to live in a youth hostel and working, which sounds like a great adventure, but leaving my cozy apartment and my cat for a hostel....eh?
I'd imagine gossiping to be very difficult to not do. It's so in our nature to get chatty about what people are doing, with who and where. Good for you for being able to resist all of that!
HUGS to you with the whole text message thing. I am not a gossip girl either.
As for your interview - I would want to know too. But what a blessing you are to Jordan and to the other children in your life. :) I hope you have a Happy Mother's Day!!!
I try not to gossip too and it really does put people out when you won't join in the bashing. After my divorce, people were constantly harping on my ex-husband, who I happen to still value as a friend, when I wouldn't join they would get all kinds of irritated.
So good for you!
Gossip is so hurtful and damaging. It try to distance myself from it too, but it's just too easy to be sucked right back in!
Never been to Maui...it's the next on my list! Loved the Big Island, though! Hmm...sushi? The very thought of eating raw fish makes me go, "Blech!"
I am so glad you are back!!! You were def. missed!! :)
Maui, I have never been to Hawaii and would Love to go there too! Gossip is a dangerous loop! I work with a girl who sits in my office talking about people and I can't help but to think when she leaves, she goes to someone else's office to talk about me too. Just a vicious cycle! I think that is a powerful question for God and hope that it is answered for you soon. LOVE & HUGS!
I'd like to go to Hawaii but for now, with small kids the Mouse holds greater allure.
I live way to far from the ocean to make sushi appealing. Maybe some day I'll get brave enough, when we are close enough to the ocean to have confidence in the freshness, for me to try it.
Gossiping! Didn't even think of that...That is a hard one to break!
I would never go near Hawaii, because I HEAR that my ex lives there. Are prisons in Hawaii bad? Because I would end up there for sure.
#4-Love you doll face. XO
reading everyone's answers about vacations is making me really wanna go somewhere! i haven't had a proper vacation in years.
I went to Hawaii on my honeymoon and I could totally move there in a minute if I could get a job and afford to live there. We didn't hit Maui but that is on my bucketlist of places to visit, and you've just added fuel to that fire!
I was absolutely in heaven on the beaches of the Big Island but Kauai was so amazing with how un-developed it was.
I LOOOOVE Maui. I've been there and to Kauai. They are both fabulous for different reasons. It's expensive for us to go there just for the airfare. Last time we went was 3 years ago and the tickets were $2100 for both of us. YIKES!
Gossip reminds me of high school. That's what we did. There seems to be a lot of that in bloggyland though.
I love sushi. But just the rolls. I can't do raw fish laying on top either. I'm a sushi wuss. But I love the wasabi!
My heart aches for you with #4. I totally get it. I've been there and cried that before. Lots of times.
Ok...my words would be queen, funny, sassy, sarcastic, sensitive, loving, and BUSY!
I love the road to Hanna! So beautiful! Great choice!
Gossip is a tough one and one I wouldn't have thought of.
Love sushi, that a new thing for me I was afraid to try it for years!
#4 makes me hurt for you! I cannot imagine wanting something so bad you physically hurt and not getting it.
Great idea having people send in their words for after viewing the real you live on camera!
I would turn the tables and interview Oprah or Martha. Both women of success intrigue me:-)
I didn't leave you a word.
Busy doesn't sound big enough. Overextended sounds like I know more than I probably do. Active or engaged maybe would be good? You're always doing something on your blog to draw people in and become better aquatinted with you and others so yeah, I say engaged.
Great vacation! My SIL lives in Hawaii, so I need to get a trip in before they move in a few years...free place to stay! :)
The interview broke my heart! I have PCOS, so struggled with infertility. I was blessed and have a 5 year old son, but I do know the feeling that goes along with trying and trying with no success for a long long time. My DH and I are discussing adoption for #2 because it was such a huge struggle to get our son. {{HUGS}}
Maui sounds wonderful, I really hope my other half and I can visit there sometime.. soon! I too have a bad gossip habit, but luckily I also tell people what I say to their face. Gossiping is a horrible habit! Definitely linking up!
I said sushi too! It is so good. Gossip is a bad habit. I don't gossip but I tend to complain to my hubs about friends and it can be just as bad. Glad you kicked the habit. You are right it can be so hurtful.
My heart hurts for you, you wonderful mom without a baby. I'm so glad you have Jordan in your life.
I am thinking I need to go with you on vacation...we could have some tall dark and handsomes...some books...and lots of girl talk on the beach.
My 6 words for you:
LOYAL, BEAUTIFUL, QUEEN, AWESOME, LEADER & Sensitive...in a VERY good way!
Ohhh I would love to go to Hawaii just once. Sweetie I don't understand the pain of not having my own children, but I do know that it takes more then blood to make someone a mommy. I know several women who have children but are a far cry from being mommies.
Again with the sushi bleechh..
Great interview question. I know of a few other people in the same situation. It just baffles me why good, deserving people who really want kids are unable to :(
Add adorable and articulate to your list of descriptions!
Gossip is hurtful. I try to NEVER gossip, but it's one of those things that the devil tempts you with. It's always around!
I've never been to Hawaii. I know! Shocker. And I've never had sushi. I am such a HICK! Never had a pedi either!
Yikes.
I've never been to Hawaii and would LOVE to go there!
I'm not a gossiper either. I stay out of the drama!
I hope that I'm a mommy one day too. My issue isn't the same as yours but I have a husband that doesn't want kids. I regularly pray that God softens his heart and changes his mind. Will be praying for you as well :)
6 Words to describe you: Funny, Full of Energy, Organized, Sure of yourself, Happy, and Loving
Gossip is a good one! It surrounds me constantly here on post but I really do try to avoid it personally!
Sushi!!! Yummy friend!
I had my son with the help of fertility and we are trying again for another- but it is frustrating to see all my friends just have sex and get preggo... I am sorry for your struggle friend...
My bother in law just came back from Hawaii and after seeing his pictures (that he took with MY camera) I want to go.
I'm gonna call you FRIENDLY!
Hugs to you about talking to God.
Sushi, not my thing, gossip never a good thing
Thanks for sharing
great answers loving this weekly blog hop
I hear ya on the gossiping! For some reason, Big Poppa and I are at the top of the resident gossip's list, but I have no clue why! We are easily the most boring people you will ever meet! But, she just finds our life that fascinating, lol!
It's never fun to be the subject of gossip and I've always hated the feeling I had when I participated. Good for you for putting a squash on it; I wish some of my neighbors would do the same!
Finally getting back to comment, lots going on today. Oh sushi- me too. I love love good sushi. In fact I think I am going to make my husband take me out for some now.
I used to gossip too- but several years ago life humbled me and taught me you just never really know- so I think I have mostly stopped.
Your vacation is right up my alley! If I hadn't said a cruise, Hawaii would be my second choice.
You know, my first husband and I adopted Kyle and while I love LOVE being his Mom, I miss that I didn't (and won't) ever get pregnant. I also always wanted a boy and a girl, but for some reason that never happened, either, and I'll never understand why. I'm sending you hugs because I know what it's like.
Maui sounds like a great pick! I've never been to Hawaii. It is on my bucket list though (well seeing all 50 states, so it counts).
I don't do fish of any sort. So I've never had sushi. My husband loves it.
Gossip is lame. I think it is so outdated. Though there is this belief that Military Wivs gossip a lot..not cool! I don't. I've got more important things to do. I am sorry to hear that your feelings were hurt in the process. *hugs*
I think you're Fabulous! :)
Good job on breaking the gossip habit. It is a hard one for sure. It is something I have tried hard to eliminate from my socializing as well. Whenever I want to say something that just isn't necessary, I try to think about how that person would feel if they overheard me. I immediately feel guilty even before opening my mouth!
I'm so sorry about your struggle with being able to have a baby. It is so not fair, and I don't understand why some women have to go through this. I'm just sorry. That's all.
This is my first time participating and it was fun. I love that one of the words to describe yourself is real :) Maui sounds lovely!
I've never been to Hawaii. That sounds like heaven. I try not to gossip or listen to it. That sucks that your feelings were hurt. :( I'd ask God that question too. I know He has a plan (and that it's best)... it's just that sometimes I don't think I like His plans.
great answers! i've never been to Hawaii. i'm deprived. i would ask that question for you if i could interview god. sad. hugs
