'Finish This' Week 16

This is my first 'Finish This' link- up that is hosted by the ladies above. I found the 'Finish This' on Nicole's blog - Three 31.  I am cordially inviting everyone that has the benefit of reading my 'Finish This' to stop on over and play along. It's actually really fun and thought provoking as well! Let's do this:



1- My favorite make up item is.... Really? I am such a 'plain Jane' kind of girl that I stick with simple mascara, base, blush, and eye shadow and only when I have to. I rarely buy makeup and when I do I look at the makeup aisles so confused and clueless and then I freak out because the cost of makeup is so incredibly high. I kid you not, I am due to buy some mascara and I probably have not bought mascara in two years. I still use my eye shadow from 10 years ago. I am cheap and I am boring.

2- The best book I've ever read was probably The Hunger Games trilogy and I say this because that was a series of books I could not put down. I became so obsessed with those books that I had nightmares. I dreamed that I was Katniss's side kick and that I was running and could not run fast enough; side note I am NOT a fast runner nor am I a good runner so if this actually happened in real life I would be the first to die!


3- My favorite TV show is.... This one is kind of embarrassing because I am obsessed with any and all seasons, except Miami, of the Housewives. I like a lot of other shows and I have Netflixed certain shows and watched the entire seasons within days but I have only been truly dedicated with the 'Housewives'.  I know it is staged but something about watching those women makes me happy that I am who I am and not jealous at all of their riches, cause they are too full of Botox and really don't seem very happy.

4- The most spontaneous thing I've ever done was... decide on Christmas night to drive from Texas to Disneyland the next day with the family (me , my husband, 2 year old and a 3 year old). In all honesty, it was my husband's spontaneous idea and I will admit that I fought with him and told him that there was NO WAY I was going to sit in the car with two girls under 5 and drive 20+ hours to Disney. My goodness my house was not clean and laundry was not clean nor did I feel like I had time to pack,  after he told me that he was going with or without me, I decided to join in his spontaneity and we had fun.

5- I prefer outside cats that do not belong to me and that I can feed and pet, but allow me to go on vacation while they fend for themselves. Before I had kids of my own, I used to be a dog person. I actually had a Maltese and for a while I thought she was a person and so did she, but then after I had kids I figured out she was a dog but she didn't. Since I have to be responsible for my own kids, I am not very good with dealing with animals, therefore I prefer the outside cat that can catch a bird or bug if I am not around to feed it.


6- I met my significant other at work. After a friend of his sent him to my department to 'check me out', he continued to 'check me out' for a week or so while I kept thinking what a weirdo he was. After he convinced me to go to lunch we never stopped talking and we actually moved in with one another after a month of 'hanging out' and we've been together ever since-- 19 years..

  11. Orange county Housewives is my favorite out of all of them! The entire show is a complete train wreck, but I can't peel my eyes off the screen! Love it! ~ Laura, Everyday Confetti

    1. Orange County is the one on right now, right? Where is that one chick that was on last season whose mom smokes weed and is into fairy dust? She only lasted one season?

  12. Welcome, Aimee, I'm so glad you joined the link party!!!! I'm so glad someone else likes The Real Housewives as much as I do ... and I dislike the Miami set as well. I've watched every season, every city, except Miami, a gazillion and one times. I cannot get enough of the craziness. I am really happy you joined the fun and hope you'll come back next week for another round of prompts. BIG HUGS!

  14. omg. Love that you said "Something about watching those women makes me happy that I am who I am". I feel the same way about the "Housewives" shows. They're hilarious and sad at the same time.

  15. I am so with you on the cats. Having a dog is like having a toddler who won't grow out of it!
