Clearly, managing my time during this 31 day challenge has been tougher than I anticipated. It ain’t easy bloggin’ every single day when you’re raising kids, hubs is out of town, you’re under the weather and you’ve got a zillion other things to accomplish throughout the day. So, I’m still conquering this goal, but I’m doing it my way…a few challenges in a row instead each and every day. You guys don’t mind, right?

Ok, here’s the latest revelations about yours truly thanks to these 31 lovely challenges:

#10 – What’s my best physical feature?

Well, well…for once a question about my external features. Such uncharted, unfamiliar territory. I’m always giving away everything I feel and see on the inside that I rarely even consider what in the hell is happening on the outside. If you know me, then you know that I often neglect my physical self much to my girlie girl daughters’ great dismay. I don’t wax, I don’t wear make-up, I don’t dress up, my nails are never polished, I don’t wear jewelery, and I am never “dolled-up” unless it’s Sat night and I’m paying a babysitter so me and hubs can go out on the town. I usually look tired, disheveled, neglected even. What can I say? It’s never been a huge priority for me on a daily basis to impress from the outside in. I’d rather go the other route, always trying to improve from the inside out.

I know, I know…I’m evading the question. I mean who the hell wants to stare at themselves and decide what their best physical feature is? Mortifying. All I can say is that probably my current best feature has always been my best feature: I’ve got good hair. Seriously. I am lucky. No matter what length it is, how it’s styled, up, down, half-up…whatever, my hair, thankfully, is the one feature that always cooperates. I can pretty much do anything with it. It’s not too thin, or thick and I’ve never had to mess with the color because I like the one I’ve got. So far, the greys have stayed away too. I am grateful for the fact that it’s very low maintenance and takes very little effort, as I’m a low maintenance primpin’ kinda gal and it would annoy the heck out of me if I had to wash it everyday or blow it dry to get it to behave or style it all the time just to look normal. So….yep, I’m going with my hair on this one. Though, I do gotta say, ‘ole Poops here has a nice smile too. I think it’s nice because it’s genuine. When I’m truly happy you can definitely tell…I’ll be grinning from ear to ear, as seen below:

Miss my long hair (this was pre-Locks of Love) but luckily it grows fast!

 My ususal, simple style: no muss no fuss. As long as you wear a smile, you can’t look bad!

This was A’s preschool graduation…such a happy night with my gals!

#11 – List fifteen of my favorite things:  

Yikes, ok, hear goes, right off the top of my head, no premeditated thoughts or consideration and certainly not in any particular order:

1. my family

2. my friends

3. my i-phone!

4. books

5. movies

6. music

7. sex

8.  writing/blogging

9. vacation/traveling

10. cold, ice water

11. coffee

12. pomegranate martini with belvedere vodka

13. pizza

14. when my crazy dog curls up next to me at the end of the day

15. LIFE. LIFE. LIFE. All of it! The up the down, the unpredictable, the fun, the exciting, the outrageous, the painful, the awful, the fabulous, the miserable, the crazy, the boring, the relentlessness, the challenge, the joy, and every moment in between. it is my very favorite THING.

Never said that list would make any sense whatsoever, but always in my attempt to be geunine and forthcoming, those fifteen things came rattling out of me so I wrote them down. I’m sure hubs would prefer sex be higher on the list (ha!) If he were local more often I’m sure it would be : )

And, finally, #12 – What’s inside my fridge?

Well I can say with all honesty, there is absolutely nothing inside of my fridge because I am currently residing under my parents’ roof for the summer. Hence, we’ll have to travel into their fridge. Though since the PoopieGirls now reside here as well, their culinary treats have currently overtaken just about every inch of the kitchen. There’s a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables…berries, cherries, apples, peaches, plums, watermelon etc and plenty of fixings for salad. Milk, juice, bagels, bread, cheese, deli meats, assortment of yogurts etc. It’s a pretty standard situation in the fridge with the exception of a few random, particular items favorited by each individual in the house. And of course there are the leftovers that belong to Nana and Papa. They sure do love their leftovers and we love them for it! Took a pic in case any of you are actually interested in seeing what’s in there:

Typical Fridge Stuff.

A little more crowded in there than usual with so many of us living under one roof!
