Friend Makin' Monday: Easy Answers


Easy Answers 

1. Are you a planner, or do you prefer to see where the moment takes you? This is a really hard thing for me to answer. I am a list and goal maker but I love to be spontaneous. I guess I plan a lot for the big stuff and let everything else just fall into place and see where life takes me.

 2. How often do you blog? I'm working to get better about this but with my schedule it's maybe once or twice a week. I'm hoping to blog 3 to 5 times a week in the future but I'm just taking things one step at a time!

 3. Do you color your hair? I'm in hair school...I think that should answer this question. HAHA! I actually had no color or anything in my hair when we got married but I've since cut most of it off and colored it multiple times.

 4. If you had to choose between running or riding a bike, which one would you choose? I would say bike...I like moving quicker and biking gives me that chance.

5. Have you ever traveled outside of your home country? Yes, I spent 10 days in the Czech Republic and it was 10 of the most amazing days of my life. I've often told Brad that he's lucky he put a ring on it before I went over there or I wouldn't have come back! I also really loved our honeymoon in Mexico.

6. Do you like weddings? Yes! I love a good party and what better reason to celebrate than two people starting their new lives together?! It also means 2 more couples that we can double date with! LOL

7. What is your favorite guilty pleasure on TV? It's not on anymore but I love Lauren Conrad so I loved watching Laguna Beach and The Hills.

8. Are you good at math? I'm ok...I hated math so I didn't apply myself but I did fine in all the math classes I took especially for the lack of work I put into them.

9. What is the last movie you watched? Safe Haven (It's an awesome movie but as usual the book is even better!!!)

10. Share five adjectives that your friends would use to describe you. Positive, Stubborn, Loyal, Caring, Busy

Bonus: Did you celebrate Independence Day? If so, what did you do? We spent the day in Seward walking around and checking out the vendors and stayed until the parade was over then headed to my aunt's house in Crete where my family was "farm camping." (They pull their RVs into my aunts yard and camp out  there and party. As much as it pains me to say due to it's sheer redneckness...it is pretty fun.) On our way back into Lincoln we looked across the whole city and saw everyones fireworks which was pretty awesome. We ended the night in our neighborhood watching fireworks of our neighbors and visiting friends around the neighborhood. Brad's birthday is on the 5th so I even got a barbershop quartet (one of them lives next door) to sing him Happy Birthday at the end of the night. It was a great day!

Friend Makin' Monday: The Internet



The Internet
1. Have you ever met anyone online before meeting them in person?  I  have but had sources that said she wasn't too crazy. Now I keep in touch with the lovely Katka and love her to pieces!!

2. What is your opinion on social media’s impact on our society?  Does it make life better or worse?  I think there is good and bad. I think it has increased our communication but a lot of the verbal and face to face communication has been lost...and kids today don't even know what that means! LOL

3. Do you believe that it’s possible to fall in love with someone that you’ve never met in person? I don't think it's impossible but I don't know if I could do it. I think to an extent that you can but you never truly know a person until you are with them face to face. Sometimes you can have a lot in common but not feel the chemsitry when you're face to face. 

4. Do you prefer to shop in stores or online? In Stores for sure with clothes but I don't mind shopping for other things online. I can't really buy much for clothes online because I have to try things on and most things don't work. 

5. What blogging platform do you use?  (WordPress, Blogger, something else?)  Blogger

6. Have you ever blogged for another site?  Would you?  Yes, but I've never been asked. I think it would be a lot of fun. 

7. Do you use services like Netflix and Hulu?  Both! We actually dropped our cable service and got them to replace it.

8. Would you prefer to get blog comments or to interact on twitter?  I like blog comments and responses on Facebook. My Twitter is linked to my Facebook so I don't actually post on there most of the time it's just what I posted on Facebook being auto transfered. 

9. Do you prefer to read books or e-books? This one is a hard one for me. I like having all the books loaded in one place and not having to carry or store a bunch of books or have to strain to read in the dark but I would much rather have a paper book in my hands when I'm reading. 

10. Share at least one experience that you would not have had without being a blog author.  I have been emailing my July Cara Box partner and we have a ton in common. I would have never met her without blogging. You'll read more about her at a later date! :-D
