I found this survey and thought it to be a fun to answer.  Feel free to use this survey and pass along to your friends.  I don’t usually do surveys, but they can be fun to do, so here it goes:

1. What is your favorite place to drive?

I LOVE driving over the Buckman Bridge, no matter how I am feeling during my day, the minute my tires hit the long stretched out bride hovering over the St. Johns River, immediately I begin to smile.  There’s something about being in the open space overlooking the glimmering water with the occasional military planes in the sky that somehow cheers me up.  It’s my favorite place to drive for sure!

2. What was the last thing you read?

I just read the Julington Creekline Paper. I usually don’t read it, but this morning I enjoyed being “informed” on all the things going on in my little community.

3. What are your plans for today?

My kids are having a slumber party at our new home.  My house will be packed with sticky fingers from all the junk food they’ll eat, and sleeping bags all over the place… can’t wait.  We will have movie night and fun activities to do.  

4. What did you dream about last night?

Hmmm, I had bizarre dreams last night, lets see if I can remember them though… I remember waking up thinking, “those dreams were weird” but I honestly don’t remember what they were!  

5. What did you last teach your child(ren)?

I taught my daughter the importance of respecting and treating her family members rightly.  It was a great long talk.  I taught my son about World War II and who Adolf Hitler was.

6. Last movie seen?

I saw “Not Another Teen Movie”, well didn’t finish it.  Thought it was hilarious and loved how they brought scenes back from movies I loved as a teen.  Also watched “Sex and the City” last night and was moved by the episode.  And saw the movie, shoot, can’t remember the title, “Dupree Something”… seen it before, but it was great watching it again.  I enjoyed watching Twilight with my daughter… for the 6th time! LOL.  She loves that movie.  Wow, I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately huh!

7. What was the last thing you surfed on the internet?

I saw a notice on bridemaids dresses for under $20!  Will post about that for my brides who are trying to save on their wedding costs!

8. Last person that touched you?

Well I wouldn’t actually say it was a person, rather a dog!  My new neighbor has a dog and when he went out of town, we watched his cute dog for him.  His dog is so sweet so it was quite easy to love up on him so much.  Well now the dog prefers me over his owner now!  The dog always comes to my front door or back door and scratches on it wimpering for me to let him in!  When he sees me outside he comes running and jumps up to get in my lap.  Last night he was at my door again crying to get in.  Silly to say that when an animal adores you that much, you can be touched by it!  

9. What was your mistake?

HA!  Are you kidding me!  Me, make mistakes… NEVER!

10. Last person that texted you?

My friend, Shon.  

11. Where are you going?

Like as in on vacation or with my life! HA HA.  

12. Who are your closest friends?

My friends Eileen, Bea, and Kristen.  I have friends that do not judge and are truly loyal and there.  My friendships are the best they’ve ever been over this last year.  I am so blessed to have them.  We laugh together, we make fun of each other, we listen to each other, we cry together, we help each other and we live life together.  I use to see shows about girlfriends that were so tight as friends and always felt it was just a hollywood scene and friends are not that close, but that is not true.  I have amazing friends that truly open up their hearts.  

13. What do you enjoy the most?

My kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can’t say enough great things about them.  My son is so loving and affectionate.  He gives me massages all the time because he wants to “take care” of me.  I have a daughter that is so mature and not afraid to speak her mind and what she sees.  Miranda is learning all about friendships and is so devoted to her friends.  I can’t believe all her friends are experiencing at such a young age already!  It’s all about who is “dating” who and who broke up with who!  CRAZY!  But the great thing is that I know more about what is going on with such things then the parents do!  My daughter talks to me, opens up to me, and lets me in.  I am so grateful that she and I have a close relationship where she can trust me.  

14. What is your favorite activity to do?

I’d say working out.  I don’t get to workout like I use to, but when I do get the chance I LOVE IT!  I love challenging my body and the internal pep talks I have when I feel too exhausted to go on with more.  Working out is such a great release and it gives me an outlet to do something good for myself.

15. Last song you heard?

Driving home last night, before I came home, Boom Boom Pow came on.  I love this song.  I always dance in my car to it.  Can’t help it!  I know people must think I am a nut case, but my body just automatically dances when it comes on!  

16. What is your recent favorite memory?
I’d say last night watching my friend Sarah get married.  She was so happy and giddy at the alter!  I couldn’t stop smiling!  I’ll never forget her joy.  She was so adorable and so filled with an enormous amount of happiness it just spread all over the place. 

17. What is a new goal of yours?

I am working on an exciting new project for my business.  It’s extremely challenging but incredible.  New adventures await me…and new challenges!

18. What is the last thing bought?

A new camera!  Waiting for it to be in stock so they ship it to me finally!  I am so excited. Can’t wait to get my hands on my new Canon 5D Mark II.  

19. What is your favorite place in your house?

I’d say my couch.  My kids & I spend a lot of time cuddling up to each other there!

20. What was your last email about?

I created an email account for my daughter so she and I can write to each other.  It gives her a way to talk to me when she is not at home.  I love that we can communicate with each other whether in person or on the internet.  I wrote to her about how much I love her and will always be here for her no matter what.
