BYOC - Bring your own craziness!

It’s time for BYOC Friday. Get to know your fellow bloggers better AND give your blogging brain a break! Enjoy!

1. Let’s brag a little….what’s the best perk you’ve ever had in your job (current or past)? Any employment counts - even if you’re a stay at home mom – you have perks.

There are several perks about my job. I'm not chained to my desk, so I am able to go run errands during the day if needed, and around Christmas time that is extremely helpful. I also tend to travel a bit during the summer around Colorado, which not only gets me out of the office, but allows me to visit other towns too and some really beautiful country.

Also, many of our insurance carriers offer us free tickets to various professional sports games, such as Avalanche hockey games, Rockies baseball games, Nuggets basketball games, and Broncos football games. Very sweet!

2. Do you ever lie in your blog?

I don't think I ever have. There is no reason to. I don't disclose everything, but who does?

3. What do you wear to bed?

Prior to losing weight, I rarely wore anything to bed, as I prefer au naturale (except when AF is around, then I wear underwear). But now that I'm losing weight, I tend to get cold, so I do wear PJs on occasion. Not all time, but sometimes.

4. Where do you go for advice?

I often ask Hubby for his thoughts. Or my BFF. What I find I do quite a bit is just talk with someone and I'm actually able to think my way through whatever is going on just by them listening, and not actually offering any advice.

But, if we're talking fashion advice, then I rely heavily upon the sales people because I am clueless when it comes to that stuff. The best thing a clothing store can have? A mannequin fully decked out with clothes, shoes and accessories. I don't have to think, just buy what's there.

5. Repeat question. Make someone a superstar without using a blog award. What comment or blog stuck with you the most this week and why?

Hmmm. A couple actually. As I previously mentioned this week, Gilly with her thoughts on restriction level and need or un-need (is that a word?) for fills/adjustments. Also, TracyZ with her thoughts on self-sabotage - following the band rules (or not following the band rules) and the results of such. I agree, if I'm doing as I'm supposed to do, I will lose. If I don't, well, the scales reflect that.

BYOC - Bring your own craziness!

One of the bloggers I follow, Drazil, has a weekly edition of BYOC - Bring your own craziness! It consists of five questions and the answers. This week I thought I'd answer it.

1. If you ever won the lottery – what’s the very first thing you’d do?

After changing underwear, I'd consult an attorney to make sure that my estate is all in order so if something should happen to me, there'd be no question as to who gets the money. Once that was taken care of, I'd pay off my obligations, give some money to my family (sisters, brother, mom) and then have fun! I would quit my job and open up a little shop in the historic part of the town I live in and sell various glass items that I've made. Which of course would require that I set myself up a little studio so I can make the glass items. I've posted pictures before of some of the things I've made.

2. What is your favorite curse word?

I must say shit! If something goes wrong, I say shit! I just love that word! I sometimes wonder if I'm in the middle of an accident would I say "Jesus help me!" or "Shit!" Most likely it would be "Shit!"

3. What is your favorite holiday and why?

Hmmm, not sure if I actually have a favorite. I enjoy them all, especially when I can take a few days or a week off around them, such as Thanksgiving or Christmas. I do especially enjoy my birthday, although they haven't made it a national holiday yet.

4. What turns you on?

Oh, just be warned this may become R rated. If Hubby and I are showering together and he is behind me, washing my back ;-), and then sweeps my hair aside to plant a kiss on my neck. Shoot, we don't even have to be in the shower. I like kisses on my neck.

5. Whose blog spoke to you, stayed with you, meant the most to you, stands out to you this week and why?

Lollipopgoldstein had a very moving post that touched my heart, and made me realize that a marriage is only as strong as the trust that is built up between the two partners, and how you don't know how you will react in a certain situation until you actually face that situation.
