Finish This! 20th edition

This is a fun game we play EVERY Wednesday!  Our awesome co-hosts come up with questions for us to answer and then we get to read everyone's responses!  I am linking up through:

Nicole @ Three 31 http://nicoleandkevin.wordpress.com/

Lisa @ Coastlined http://lisadenoia.com/

Jen @ The Arizona Russums http://www.theazrussums.com/

Becky @ The Java Mama http://www.thejavamama.com/

So let's get answering!


I am most serious about........  Well by nature (Capricorn), I am serious about almost everything.  LOL  But I guess if I had to pick one thing it would be music.  Yep...I know that you knew I was going to say that, right?!  I love music.  All kinds.  Can not live with out it.




I am most relaxed when...... I am so predictable.  But for real, I am most relaxed when I am by the ocean.  I call it my therapy session.  Try it sometime!  Sitting in my chair, toes in the sand and just listening to the waves roll it.  It puts me in a trance.




There's no place like..... home.  Even though I like to vacation at the ocean, it's always nice to come back to the place you call home.  When we're away that usually means I am away from my 4-legged kiddos and I miss them when I'm gone!  And whether I am gone for 20 minutes, or a week they miss me just as much.  You gotta love it!



Now it is your turn!  Tell me how you would answer these in the comments below!

Finish This! 13th edition

I missed last weeks edition of Finish This - but I am back!  As always I link up through wonderful bloggers:

And here we go!

The only thing standing between me and ______ is.........  I think I would answer this one as:  the only thing standing between me and the BEACH is....work.  I mean, having to work is so annoying.  Don't you agree?  It totally messes up plans and really just gets in the way.  LOL  But we do what we have to do I guess.  :)

I don't have to be perfect to be.....  the Mommy to my three doggies.  That's a true statement right there.  If you have a dog (cat or any pet for that matter!) you can understand what I mean.  My three doggies love me unconditionally and they show it everyday.  I could leave the room and come back 5 minutes later and they are excited to see me as if I was gone all day long.  Where else can you get that kind of love except from animals?  Love them!

I would improve ______ by......  I would improve myself by.....Do you have an hour?!  I have a huge list of things I would love to improve about myself.  Guess my biggest struggle at the moment is keeping on my food plan and work out schedule.  Huge pet peeve about myself.  But I am human and I love food, what can I say.  :)

Now it's YOUR turn!  Tell me your answers in the comments below!!

Finish this!

Today's blog is 5 "finish this" sentences.  Feel free to put your answers below in the comments.  I'd love to hear how YOU would finish these sentences!

1) On Saturday morning, I usually

I will sleep until our doggies wake us up because they don't realize it's Saturday and we can SLEEP IN!!  After they are taken care of I usually watch the news, check email etc. then get ready for the gym.

2) I feel beautiful when

This question is a tough one for me!  Self-esteem isn't my forte, so I guess I'd have to say when my hair will straighten and lay the way it is suppose to.  :)

3) I wake up every morning

to the sound of my cell phone alarm.  UGH!  It's that time already?!  Sometimes I wake up to the sound of my black lab, Jett snoring.  Then the instant I drift back off to sleep, the alarm is scaring the crap out of me. 

4) A happy home

is a home with tons of dog hair.  Hey I can't help it!  It happens when you have 3 BLACK dogs.  :)  Thank goodness most of our house is hardwood floors so it swiffers up pretty easily.  Otherwise a happy home is full of love & laughter.  

5) When I have down time, I

usually am at the gym.  But as of lately I've been spending a lot of my free time getting the word out about the blog you are reading right now!  I enjoy writing, so it's good for me to do this.

How animals can help us

This is Jett!  He is my black Labrador Retriever.   He just turned 9 years old and he is my everything! (besides my kiddos of course!)  

Animals are amazing.  They are intuitive, loving and loyal.  They are part of our families and can be considered our children!  Their personalities crack me up.  Jett has a funny way about him.  He has some anxiety problems, so if something freaks him out or he's nervous he'll give what we call the "side ways glare".  LOL He literally will turn his head and stare at you from the side.  It's almost like he's saying "I'm not looking at you" (but I am!).  

Don't you love how excited they get to see you?  You could have had the most craptastic day ever, and they are waiting there to give you a welcome home kiss (slobber) and lots of wags.  It also cracks me up that you can leave the room and come back 10 minutes later and they are just as excited to see you as they were earlier!  Awesome!

What kind of pets do you have?  And what funny things do they do?
