Blog Challenge - Day 7

Day y - Your zodiac sign and do you think it fits your personality.

Virgo

• Virgo keywords: Discrimination, keenness, aloofness, analysis, shrewdness, skepticism, obsession, meticulous, calculation, courage, loyalty, pride, tidiness, warmth, kindliness,  creativity, introverted, freedom-loving, materialism, workaholism, stability, duality, intelligence, hypochondria, cold, practical.

 

I think I fit so many virgo characteristics.  I tend to keep things inside, am a worrywart, and can sometimes be too critical.  Virgos are generally good at crafts and art projects so that fits really well.  And, one of the highest compatible signs for a life partner is Taurus (which happens to be Hubs' sign).

Blog Challenge - Day 5

Day 5 - A time when you thought about ending your own life.

I can honestly say that I have never had those thoughts.  I guess my personality has always been "things will get better" or "it will be ok."  I have felt such sadness from time to time but never enough to have life-ending thoughts. 

As a rational thinker, I have such strong opinions on suicide yet I know that when someone is having such dark thoughts, they are not thinking rationally.  It is no doubt a dark, scary, and lonely place to be.

Blog Challenge - Day 4

Day 4 - A DIY tutorial or something you'd like to make

 A while ago, I came across mod podge created crafts and I was addicted.  My first major project using Mod Podge was this cake plate and dessert plates.  You use a fabric of your choice and use the Mod Podge to glue the fabric to a smooth surface.  I used basic glass plates from Wal-Mart.  I finished the cake plate by using Gorilla Glue to add a glass candle holder to the plate.  I think they turned out pretty cute. 

Blog Challenege - Day 3

Day 3 - Your view on drugs and alcohol

Drugs are bad.  Crack is whack.  Say nope to dope. 
Seriously though, I have seen people become addicted to drugs in several forms - both illegal drugs and prescriptions.  It is a sad road and the dependence on drugs of any kind is hard to fight. 

I don't necessarily have a problem with alcohol.  If someone is of age and responsible then it is fine.  Just like with drugs, alcohol can become a problem.  Know your limit and don't turn to alcohol for the wrong reasons.

Blog Challenge - Day 2

Day 2 - Where you would like to be in ten years...

Out of college (this should be realized in 10 months!)
Happy in my career
Have a child
Build-on to our home (or dream - move to the beach!)
Have my photography business be a success

My ideas are simple.  I just want to continue to enjoy life and make memories as we go along.

Blog Challenge - Day 1

Day 1 - Your Current Relationship

Hubs and I have been married for 7 years.  We met in late August of 2003 and married on August 21, 2004.  He is my best friend.  We are so similar yet different.  We love to travel and are both fairly crafty people.  He is a huge reader and encouraged me to expanding my reading from just cheesy Harlequin novels.  We are very much partners.  I love to cook but he doesn't mind cleaning up after me.  I handle laundry but boy does he love the floors - he is a vaccum and steam cleaner junkie.  Since we got married, we have had dogs, cats, a hamster, a bird, and fish.  Whew.  Currently, we only have one dog, Shelby, after our beloved weinie dog passed away on Tuesday.

I'm glad to have Hubs as my spouse and partner but just as grateful that he is my best friend.
