My Real Life

1. What is your next home improvement goal?

To hang the pictures in our home.

I know that isn’t really home improvement, but it needs to be done.

Desperately.

Right now, I have the kids artwork taped to the walls of my home in an effort to make the house look more “complete.”

If you are talking larger, then I really want to get one of those garbage can shed thingys.

We have a raccoon issue with our garbage, so we wind up keeping it in the garage and…quite frankly, ew.

So, if we could have one of those things where you can lock up your garbage, that’d be cool.

The house doesn’t really need any major work.

I’d love to build a sunroom off of the reading room.

That would be awesome.

But, there are four kids to get through college first.

So, yeah, forget that.

2. If you could only read one book for the rest of your life, what would it be? No religious texts (ie Bible, Quran, Torah, etc, etc)…

Who would ever be so cruel as to limit someone to one book for the rest of their life?

That’s like…torture!

I really don’t know what book I would pick.

It would probably be a kid’s book like The Westing Game or Charlotte’s Web or something like that.

It would make sense to pick something like War and Peace because it would take me so long to read it over and over again, but seriously…can you imagine if they only thing you were able to read for the rest of your life was War and Peace?

Maybe I should choose my book (currently unpublished, but I’m working on it).

Didn’t know I wrote one? (and I’m not talking about I Just Want to Pee Alone…which would make a wonderful Mother’s Day gift, by the way).

Check it out, here.

3. What is on top of your refrigerator?

Nothing.

The refrigerator fits right under the cabinet…I think they built the kitchen around the fridge, which is weird, because it’s not a great fridge.

So, I guess the answer is…cabinets with paper towels in them.

4. What are your favorite or most used phone apps?

I don’t really use my phone for more than texting or making calls, but I guess my most used iPhone app is my Facebook app.

On my iPad, my Nook app is my favorite and Candy Crush is probably my most used.

For my kids, when they use my iPad, Minecraft is the most used.
5. What’s the one thing you hate most about your spouses job?

The fact that we aren’t gajillionaires and he needs to have a job at all and can’t just hang with me all day long.

Not that I am home, but if we were gajillionaires, I’d be home, too.

Other than that, I think it’s a pretty good job and he’s great at it.
