I'm cool, I'm hip, I'm with it (however it goes)!

I'm pretty sure I'm out of the loop here - what's the deal with all the mohawks? Am I the only one noticing that everywhere I go there are grade school boys sportin' the mohawk? What started this latest fad? What celebrity is sporting this look - or did everyone all of a sudden just decide they wanted to wear a mohawk? I'm not poking fun, I'm not much into the mohawk myself, or the blue streaks, whatever - just not my thing! Would someone like to answer that question though? What's the deal and where have I been - I guess in my own 'bubble' where I belong!

Many Questions!

Answer to more questions! Do you have one? What's this all about you ask, click here, here, and here!

Jen asked: What were you like in high school? (What did you do/not do for fun, what kind of people did you hang out with, were you loud, shy, etc?)

This is actually a hard one for me to answer. I'd say I was shy unless you got to know me then I was probably loud, obnoxious and irritating. Ha ha! I hung around nice people - didn't do the whole party thing, we were all good kids. I wasn't wild that's for sure, if anything I was immature. Sorry, not a very good answer. =(

Heather asked: Did you find it just the teensiest bit funny, the thing that Jesse Jackson said about Barack Obama the other night?

What did Obama ask Jesse Jackson the other night? LoL! I have no idea... I hardly ever watch the news.

Heathers real question: What brought you to the Lord, and to your Catholic faith?

I was born and raised Catholic and leaving the faith has never come to mind. I really didn't do a lot with my religion (if that's what you want to say) until I started dating Kurt who was casual Methodist at the time. When we started to get more serious we decided to take RCIA (the prep class to become Catholic) together so I could learn more about my faith and he could see what I believed. While going through that I learned so much and Kurt decided to become Catholic. However, once class was finished I basically went back to going to church and that's about it (we did practice our faith though, unlike a lot of just 'church' goers). Then we got pregnant with Landen and I started taking things a little more serious, reading, studying, praying, etc. Then after I had our miscarriage between Landen and Amelia that's what really helped me turn to God more in my everyday life. I joined our FAMILIA group at church which has really brought me closer to God, I joined a stay at home Catholic mom yahoo group, started really having a prayer life. Since then I have gotten deeper and deeper in my faith. I also think my mom too has a lot to do with it, who is a very faithful woman and she is a wonderful example for her children when it comes to faith and our religion.

Heather also asked: Do you like knitting?

Well back in the day when I was in 4-H I took a class to learn to knit, but I never made anything and I don't have the slightest clue how to knit now. It does intrigue me though because so many people make some really cool things. Maybe I should learn? =)

Kalle asked: I'm wondering if blogging is turning out to be all you thought it would be. If it is, what's something about it you didn't expect and if it isn't, then what's different than what you expected.

Blogging is actually a lot different then I thought it would be. I didn't expect to meet so many great people! I really didn't expect to get so 'into' it - I actually thought I'd start blogging just for my family and close friends. Anyway, I love to blog, I love to work on my contest/review blog, I love commenting (when I can) to others and pretty much everything about it. I didn't think so many people would actually be reading my blog and that it would cause me to have paranoia that I give out to much information on my family.

Mandy asked: If you could go anywhere, where would you go?

I honestly can't think of some wonderful place I really want to go. Somewhere warm and sunny with a beach would be satisfying!

Mandy asked: If you were to come face to face with God, what would you ask/tell him?

Wow! That's a deep question - I'd probably stand there in awe and not say a word. I don't know what I'd ask, say or do. Hmm!

Mandy asked: What do you find endearing (either habit or personality trait) about each of your children?

Right now I love how lovable Landen is. How he always says "i love you, i love you more." He has a huge heart! Amelia is so young and as annoying as it is - the girl sticks her ground about things. If she has her mind made up one way or another, that's the way it's going to be. No persuading her other wise. It makes it a little hard to handle her at times! Oh and how she blows us kisses all the time. =)

Tale As Old As Time! Question Two.

Maybe you all do think this is exciting because I got a few more questions after yesterdays - or maybe I'm just so interesting you want to know more. Ha ha ha! Whatever. To catch up post one, post two! *Title Courtesy Of My Hubby*

Jen's first questions: How did you meet and fall in love with Kurt?

Oh it started a long, long time ago. Okay, so maybe not that long ago - but it sounded good.
I actually worked with Kurt for two and a half years, sneaking glances in his way as he worked the paint counter ever so lovely like. LoL! Whatever - in his dreams!! Really though, we worked at Wal-mart together for those years but I was always dating someone and according to my then boyfriend Kurt just wasn't "boyfriend material" when I asked him once why he wasn't dating anyone yet. I didn't really know him all that well... I had a pre-conceived idea of who and what he was like. Anyway, we actually were kind of schemed together from a mutual friend (Josh-bless his soul). I had just recently broken up with my then boyfriend and got talked into going to a hockey game with Josh and his girlfriend but didn't really want to drive the entire way there - so while talking to Josh on yahoo messenger his girlfriend was on the phone with Kurt telling me he was going on a date with his dream girl (me.. hee,hee) to the hockey game, but Josh was telling me I could just get a ride with Kurt and it'd be no big deal because I somewhat knew him. For some reason I said yes - which is totally out of my character. I really, honestly did not think this was a date - it was NOT a date. You can ask my entire family - I was complaining about this and that because I thought he was "not boyfriend material" and like most of the guys I knew that he hung out with.. I was totally just getting a ride with him and going with another couple.. right, stupid me! I got hit hard with the reality that he wasn't like the guys I thought he was like and once I actually got to know him better from the long truck ride to and from the game and a long hockey game (which by the way I took gloves to because I had never been to one and thought I'd freeze - dork) realized he wasn't that bad. Little did I know that my sisters then boyfriend said - "yep, she's going to marry that guy".. that night, (the night I said I was only getting a ride from this guy), I had no interested what so ever. I kind of had my eye on someone else (gross now I think about that one. *puking*) So, after that he went back to school and we talked a lot on messenger (as I worked until late at the hospital) and he started coming back on weekends to see sweet lil' ol' me. I was a ball full of fun and actually told him at one point I didn't want to date him, but then called him back the next day to see if he wanted to go to the Nutcracker (whooooaa funnnn) with my sister, her then boyfriend and me. I really threw him for a loop - but he dealt with me, after swooning over my good looks and charming attitude for years while we worked together. Hee,hee! I'm just so irresistible! Honestly, he was pretty irresistable - I remember at one point (who knows what I was saying) my dad told me - I basically needed to get my act together if I liked him and quit being foolish. Maybe it took that to get me to realize I really liked him a lot. I had this idea I didn't want a boyfriend, just wanted to do my thing and focus on school. I'm glad I didn't do that! So, the rest is history - we dated for two years, got engaged, and got married eight months later - September 4, 2004! I love him to pieces! That's my story and I'm sticking too it! Hopefully I didn't leave anything out - I've been up and down quite a bit during this. Maybe I should get Kurt to write his version? His version is always so dreamy (to me anyway!)
*More questions and answering to come.*

Question One

Apparently not everyone thought my little question thing was all that fun - but for the people that did ask a question - here goes!

Sharon asked: What is something you miss about your life BEFORE you had kids? I know you love your kids and being a mom, but isn't there *something* you miss?

I would say the freedom from children responsibility really. If I want to stay up late, jump up at the last minute and go somewhere, not having my wheels in constant motion worrying/thinking about my kiddos. Really, doing whatever I want, whenever I want without having to worry about diapers, someone crying, it's too late, someone missed a nap, etc. At times I really do miss that - especially when I'm around my sisters who don't have kids and just go and do what they want. I get a bit jealous I will admit! However, even though I miss that at times.. it's only at times and in certain circumstances. I never miss it enough to want to go back to that!

*More questions and answering coming soon - storming and I have to shut down the computer.*

Ask a Question - Any Question!

Stacey had this neat little idea that she said I could use on my blog!

You the readers get to ask me a question. Quite a few people that read my blog, only know me from my blog, so maybe this is more of a -"get to know me better." Really though, I'm pretty open about everything and don't mind sharing my thoughts or life with people.

What question would you like to ask this girl?

Maybe nothing at all! I just thought it was kind of fun. If I have anyone ask me anything, I'll write it up in a post when I get a chance for everyone to read. Now I need to really finish working on my little idea of having a La Leche League evening cafe get together. Any excuse for a moo-late sort of thing sounds yummy to me!
