Extremely Bizzare Blogger Quiz

I saw this on my cousin's blog and got a kick out of it so I thought I'd share it too! Seems like a good way to start the year - tell you all sorts of random things about me. :}

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? 
My first name is from a great aunt (or something) named Jessie and my middle name is from the movie Willow - the baby's name is Elora but my parents thought it was Alora so that's what they went with.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? 
The last time I legit cried with the whole sobbing so hard that you have trouble breathing? Yesterday, everything was falling apart on me ... and last Thursday, I got really lost ... and when we were moving ... and when we lost all of our pictures. Don't worry, I'm actually quite a cheerful person :}

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? 
NO -- Ugh It's terrible! Even when I take my time for things like Aaron's baby book, it still looks awful. I ought to hand it over to one of my sister-in-laws to fill out instead...

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
I think I'll have to go with Turkey

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? 
Kids? No, I don't think I do ... I gave birth to a monkey named Aaron who likes to try and climb on everything, but no - no kids.

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? 
Now or in high school/freshman year in the dorms... Back then, definitely not. I would have found myself to be a guy hog and an obnoxious flirt ... now? Sure. I'd like to think that I have matured and now that I'm married, I don't need to worry about the competition stealing my man ;)

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? 
Not as much since I met Eric. In his life, if someone used sarcasm, there was always an underlying insult. In my life, it was used to make a witty comment that would play off of something someone said with no insult behind it... That being said, I have done my best to leave it behind unless I am bantering with my immediate family because I now understand that many people can be hurt by it even when no hurt was intended.

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? 
Yup!

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
I'd like to think I would ... it sounds fun but let's be honest, until a legit opportunity came about where I would be able to go I won't know for sure.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? 
I'm not the world's biggest fan of cereal... I don't usually eat breakfast. But later, if I want a snack I'll go for Honey-Nut Chex or Reese's Puffs (Healthy creature, aren't I?)

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? 
HAHAHA Of course not! I shop in the kids section - my shoes are Velcro! 

12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? 
If the need arises - that goes for physical and emotional. I can be strong but if there is someone else willing to be strong, I'll admit that I often allow myself to succumb to weakness.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? 
Just 1???? Well, right now I am a big fan of the girl scout Thin Mint ice cream. :} But I also love Strawberry Cheese Cake, Pralines & Cream, good old Vanilla, and a whole slew of others.

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? 
Uh ... that's a good question ... I don't actually know. I guess lately I've watched how people treat children and use that as a measuring stick when I size them up. Back when I was on the hunt I noticed things like humor first or facial features

15. RED OR PINK? 
I would absolutely love a pair of bright red pumps ... I like a soft pink for somethings, but I think typically I'd go red

16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? 
My inability to get up in the morning ... 

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? 
What a ridiculous question! I miss lots of people for different reasons! I miss Eric right now because I crave having him around. I miss my Mom's hugs. I miss watching my Dad play with Aaron. I miss Thomas' humor. I miss Mikayla's quiet strength and emotional depth. I miss Kestra saying, "I'll miss you," everytime I leave. I miss Anna turning everything into a party. I miss playing games with Laura. I miss sitting back and chatting with Lissa and Kenny.
18. WHAT IS THE PAUL MCKENNA TECHNIQUE THAT YOU NEED TO WORK ON THE MOST?
Wha...? Well, according to Wikipedia, Paul Mckenna is a Hypnotist and Self-Improvement Author. Since I don't want to actually read about this guy, I'll list his book titles and go from there:
  • I Can Make You Confident
  • I Can Make You Sleep
  • I Can Make You Rich
  • Quit Smoking Today Without Gaining Weight
  • Instant Confidence
  • I Can Make You Thin
  • Change Your Life in Seven Days
  • How to Mend Your Broken Heart
  • The Power to Influence
  • The Paranormal World of Paul McKenna
  • Paul McKenna's Hypnotic Secrets
  • The Hypnotic World of Paul McKenna
So given my options, I think I would work on getting rich, influencing people, or hypnosis ... Hypnosis would be cool. (this guy seems a little full of it if you ask me)

19. WHAT COLOR SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
I just painted my toe nails - they have pretty flowers on them, so I am not wearing shoes

20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?
I had a baked potato for lunch with butter, bacon, onion, cheese, and sour cream. Yum! And some snicker-doodle cookies.

I am listening to Aaron talk to me...

22. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
Uh ... I'd say a pale green - mellow but happy

23. FAVORITE SMELLS?
Very Sexy for Men from Victoria Secret ... :)

24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? 
Eric - I tried to direct him to the Walgreens in Beaverton and managed to get him lost ... oops

25. MOUNTAIN HIDEAWAY OR BEACH HOUSE?
I'm going to say Beach House because though Mountain Hideaway with a nice fire is fun ... fire still indicates that it is cold outside and right now, I would love warm!

34. SUMMER OR WINTER?

35. HUGS OR KISSES? 
The candy? They are both good at different times - I guess same goes for the real thing. If I haven't seen Eric in a long time then all I want is to hug him! Kisses are good for other times.

hmmm ... I like lemon bars and cheesecake, but sometimes, nothing beats ice cream

45. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?
As of late, I seem to have a knack for getting myself (and others) lost ... I also have a ton of bruises because I have a talent for running into things.
