20 Questions...The Final Chapter.

16. What do you consider the best TV Show or Movie ever created?

Oh My......Best TV show has to be MASH. I could watch it for hours and never get bored. I also like Big Bang Theory and Little Britain.
Best Movie- So many I love, but Shawshank Redemption is probably at the top of the list. Of course so is ELF, along with All of the Lord Of The Rings Movies. And for me and my BESTIE- Thelma and Louise!!! 



17. How would you describe yourself in three words?

Observant- Generous-Hopeful.



18. If you knew that tomorrow your life would change forever, what would you do to appreciate
today?

Nothing different than I already do. I know for a fact that life can change in a moment- and I try to live my life so I wont regret a moment or feel I've wasted it in any way, shape of fun. I do what I have to do to live, go to work, do chores and errands, and such, but I also don't miss a chance to make the most of the rest of my life either. I tell the people I love just that...many times a day- much to a few peoples great annoyance. Some people think that saying I love you 5 times a day makes it less special- but I disagree. I think I want everyone to know how much I care for them and appreciate them. I never want anyone I love to say "I wish Sunny/Lavada/Mom had told me more often how much she loved me".... or "I wonder sometimes how she really felt". They know because I tell them.
 All. The. Time.



19. Favorite blog (or blogs)?

I have several. Every Day I go to a few.....One of my dearest friends has one I go to, but it shall remain nameless because it's a private blog......I also go to In Dodd We Trust, Layabouting, Pinterest Addict, Refashionista,  Witless Protection Program, and Southern Plate. I'm also faithful to Life-What The Hell is Going On, but someone hasn't posted on there in months because he has a big project going and doesn't have enough hours in the day to do it all.



20. One thing you’ve learned about yourself in the last year.


 I knew I was independent, but I didn't realize how much I LOVE my independence.Oddly enough, I also found out I need to feel I'm making a difference in someones life besides my own.




Now...that's it for my 20 Q & A's. Do you have anything you'd like to know? Just ask.

I dont have A BEST memory. I have LOADS of favoriteS. Family Vacations....My childrens births, the births of my grandbabies and a very special little grandniece, getting my drivers liscence(after only two tries!!), waking up to my little girls cooing in her crib and hearing her laughing, waking up to see both my little boys staring into my face holding a can of oysters becuase they wanted Oyster Stew for BREAKFAST!!!!, My kids weddings, a speial request from my son to take a photo of his GFs face when he surprise proposed to her, The first time I met my husband,our first kiss, his proposal, and our wedding and subsequent move to England.... snuggling with my daddy and holing his hand and us talking about all the things we remembered from my childhood and me asking him all the things I had always wondered about...How him and mom met, how he proposed to her, what he said when they found out they was expecting ME,......just hours before his condition took a turn for the worse and he passed away....My husband holding me when I have one of my nightmares and reassuring me that it was all just a dream.......My Sisters Picnic with my sisters and one of my Chosen sisters taking the photos for me and just letting us carry on with our foolishness without raising an eyebrow,.....Every single Christmas of my life........I could go on for pages and pages and pages......








15. Would you rather live near mountains or by the sea?
Well, the Mountains to be honest.....but I do love me some beach during the cooler months of the year. Is that normal????

20 Questions...Part Four

10. Who is your celebrity crush (boy or girl) and if you could spend a day with them what would
you do?

Hmmmm.....
Male would be Tom Hanks. Hands down my favorite actor of all times. Running a close second would be Sean Connery.

Female would be Allison Scagliotti who plays Claudia Donovan in Warehouse 13....Close second would be
Erica Cerra who plays Jo Lupo in Eureka. 

I would hope they (Male and Female) would be as much fun off camera as their characters are on the shows. 

What would we do? 
I think a Horseback trip for the day and then either a pool party or Formal dinner party that night would be fun. 







11. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?

None if it's going on MY credit card. Now ask me what store I would  choose if I wanted to max out Daddy Warbucks credit card and it would be any high end shoe or clothing store.
I love me some heels and clothes.





12. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?


 A model.I took part in a few local fashion shows when I was in high school, but then life got in the way and I got married and became a mommy and went into law enforcement instead.
If I had to do it over, I'd have went into something a bit more lucrative like Architecture or Photography.
That's okay tho.....I'm doing a bit of the photography as a hobby now and the road I took led me to where I am now and I'm finally truly happy. If only my loved ones hadn't passed away too early, I would be in 7th Heaven.

20 Questions.......Part Three

 Soldiering on.....


7. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?

It's a combo....Homelessness and Hunger. If it were up to me those two things would be wiped from the face of the earth- forever. Nothing fills me with such sorrow as knowing someone out there has no place to call home...no place to sleep, or sit down and relax or take a nice shower or bath, or to call their own...even if it is just rented.
It hurts me to know there are people who go to sleep hungry- and wake up hungry. And that they have no idea where their next meal is coming from or when it will be.





8. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

I think I've lived in the two most wonderful places in the world. South Carolina, and England.
I've found I love to visit other places tho!!! And plan on doing a lot more OF it!!






9. If you could change something about your home, without worrying about expenses, what
would it be?

Oh Lord, the kitchen. My kitchen is TINY- and if only it were a big country kitchen I would be  on cloud nine!!!
The only other things I can think of I might change is I would quite like to have a gas burning fireplace made of stone, and lovely wood flooring.
Other than those things, I can't think of anything I would change .......altho now I look at it- those are some pretty big things!!! LOL

20 Questions...Part Two

4. What is your favorite color and why?
I have several. I can't choose.
 In a kitchen- it's buttery yellow. It's a happy color and everyone should have a happy kitchen to create in.
I have basically 4 colors I wear and use consistently...Black, white, red, and electric blue. They are the colors I'm most comfortable and happiest in.
 




5. What inspires you?
More than anything it's music....and seeing the good in people. Both seem to touch my soul and make me want to create and be an inspiration to others.




6. What’s your guilty pleasure?
I would love to be able to tell you, but alas, I cannot. Tis a hideous evil thing and it would be branded in your mind forever.
;-)
The one thing I CAN confess to is having a lazy, lazy day. I rarely can settle down and just do absolutely nothing and I always feel so guilty when I do manage to catch some absolute downtime....but man,oh,man....is it PLEASURABLE!!!
