40 Odd Things

40 odd things about me . . . 

Borrowed from Facebook

1. Do you put ketchup on a hot dog? 

Yes

2. Choice of soda? 

Diet Coke... and La Croix

3. Do you own a gun? 

I plead the 5th... and the 2nd.

4. Can you swim? 

Yes!  Very well.

5. Hot dogs or cheeseburger? 

Cheeseburger

6. Favorite type of food? 

Chinese food, Southern Food -- or food someone else cooked

7. Do you believe in ghosts? 

The Holy one!

8. What do you drink in the morning? 

Water and Coffee! 

9. Can you do 100 pushups? 

Probably not simultaneously -- but throughout the course of the day, yes.  Actually, now that I think about it, 2.5 months postpartum, probably not -- and definitely not the "good" pushups.  Mine would have to be on my knees until I get my strength up.

10. Summer, Winter, Spring, or Fall? 

I usually love the season I'm in, and am looking forward to the next one around the corner.  Right now is no exception, I am loving winter and especially enjoying all these snowy days... and I'm beginning to get excited for Spring in a few months.

11. Your favorite hobby? 

My children are my hobby.  Other than caring for them... breastfeeding is my hobby (and I get to watch Netflix when I do), and blogging.  Driving could also be my hobby.  I drive a lot -- both in motherhood and for work.

12. Tattoos? 

I plead the 5th again.

13. Do you wear glasses?

Only sun glasses.

Mama, and Babe -- once upon a time, Brookie
