Ten on Tuesday #2

Today I am linking up for another "Ten on Tuesday"!



(Questions by Chelsea @ Roots & Rings)

1. Should we keep doing Ten on Tuesday?
I really enjoy it! So I vote yes. :)

2. How do you pick out your sunglasses?
I usually just try and find some that I think look good on me and aren't too terribly expensive since I have somehow lost or broke nearly every pair of sunglasses I have ever owned.

3. Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?
Yes I do. And did big time this year. It was not only St. Patty's Day but also our good friend Cody's birthday so we rented a party bus! And went from Houston to Galveston and back Saturday night. SO MUCH FUN.

4. Name 5 movies that you will never get sick of.
The Holiday, The Devil Wears Prada, Love & Basketball, He's Just Not Than Into You, Beauty and the Beast

5. Name 1 book that you will never get sick of.
I feel like the most obvious choice will have to be the Bible. But I also think I could read the last Twilight or Harry Potter book over and over and over again.

6. Do you know any sign language?
I know the alphabet! 

7. What is your favorite kind of Girl Scout cookie?
I honestly haven't had any in so long I can't even name any of them.

8. Are you handy? (Can you fix or build anything?)
I think I'm pretty handy. I'm a problem solver. But I have to admit that Trevor usually fixes everything and anything before I can even get to it. He's seriously Mr. Fix It. 

9. In what form do you prefer your potatoes? (Baked, mashed, au gratin, hashbrowns, twice baked, etc.)
Baked.

10. Do you believe the saying “actions speak louder than words”?
To an extent. Words definitely can mean a lot and can also hurt a lot. But the actions following the words are usually very clear, no matter what was said.

Ten on Tuesday #1

Today I am linking up with Chelsea at Roots & Rings for Ten on Tuesday!



1. What are your designated chores in your home?
Well since I live in my own apartment, I am responsible for it all. :) It's a good thing my apartment is the size of a shoebox.

2. What is your least favorite chore to do around the house?
Cleaning the bathroom. UGH, gross. But it's even more gross to go into a bathroom you can tell hasn't been cleaned in a while.

3. What was your designated chore growing up?
One of the downsides of being an only child in my case was my parents made me help with all the chores. I'd like to think of myself as a live in housekeeper. I did all the inside stuff with my mom and then Dad would haul my butt outside to clean the pool and pick up pine cones out of the front yard.

4. Did you get paid to do chores or was your allowance connected to you completing your chores?
HAHA, get paid. That's funny. No..it was more like do the chores if you want to have a social life.

5. If you had a bit of extra money, would you hire a cleaning person or would you save the money for something else?
Y-E-S!

6. What chores will you make your kids do around the house?
Well, since Chanel is the closest thing I have to a kid and she is a dog....not a thing.

7. How frequently do you do laundry? Wash your sheets? Dust?
Laundry "sigh"...

I use to be a pro at laundry, never allowing it to get backed up at all. I could never realize how people let laundry pile up and get out of control...until I got a full-time job. Now I probably do laundry every 2 weeks...sometimes 3 depending on how busy I am, or if I really want to wear that particular clothing item that is dirty. Sheets...probably not as often as I should....Dust, in my apartment, there isn't a lot too dust besides the TV.

8. Do you have a designated “chore day” during the week?
Nope

9. What is your favorite chore–if such a thing exists?
I like grocery shopping...if you count that as a chore. I also really like vacuuming because I love how clean the floor looks when your done.

10. Do you do anything to help pass the time while doing chores (music, TV, etc.)?
I usually watch TV to keep me entertained.
