April 2010 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination
Re: Friday Five
1. What type of music gets you pumped up and what type makes you want to cover your ears and scream? When I am getting ready to go out, I love to listen to fun dance music. My roomates and I ALWAYS listened to Britney Spears when we were in college, so silly but definitely got us ready to go! There really isn't any music that makes me want to cover my ears and scream, I can usually appreciate anything.
2. What is your favorite job you ever had? (any job in your whole life that you got paid for) I don't think I have ever had a job that I LOVED 100%, but my current job is about 90% love and 10% hate. I enjoy the work itself. Also, whenever I do a one off wedding day of coordination I always love that.
3. Describe your most amazingly awful hairstyle to date. I wish I could find a picture. The week before my senior year of high school I cut my hair short, and the lady went WAY too short. I looked like a boy with shaggy hair and I hated it.
4. What was your favorite trip with DH so far? We had an amazing time in Vegas. We both like to relax and like to party so it was a good balance. It was our unoffical honeymoon. Second place is our trip to Boston last year for our 1st anniversary. That was only two days but we had an incredible time.
5. Plans for the weekend? Tonight I am going to clean around the house some. Tomorrow we are supposed to get 6+ inches of snow (ick) so I am hoping that DH, my family, and I can just sit around carve pumpkins and drink Caramel Appletinis. Sunday is Football day, but the Cowboys are not on until the night game so I probably won't go out to watch it. I have to bake cookies for a work Halloween party on Monday. At some point over the weekend I need to decide what I am going to be for Halloween.
1. What type of music gets you pumped up and what type makes you want to cover your ears and scream? I really like somewhat hard stuff (kind of like Linkin Park) that has a good beat, that really gets me going for a workout, or is great in the car. I like most music, but a lot of the rap songs are grotesque, and offensive so I will switch the radio pretty quickly when one of those comes on.
2. What is your favorite job you ever had? (any job in your whole life that you got paid for). This job, but at my second tunnel, most everyone was great to work with, good bosses, lots of continuous interesting work. That tunnel is now close down for political reasons, it was a GREAT tunnel.
3. Describe your most amazingly awful hairstyle to date. I have never really styled my hair, that is kind of sad I guess, but I would have no idea how to style it.
4. What was your favorite trip with DH so far? Our honeymoon in Cozumel was awesome, but I also really enjoyed our time in Napa and Sonoma going to wineries.
5. Plans for the weekend? Tonight the gym then dinner and a haunted walking tour of Williamsburg with some friends.
Saturday probably the gym, then costume hunting, then a costume party.
Sunday probably errands and chores.
2. What is your favorite job you ever had? (any job in your whole life that you got paid for) prob this one, teaching
3. Describe your most amazingly awful hairstyle to date. omg a poodle perm when i was in like 3rd grade
4. What was your favorite trip with DH so far? Honeymoon! tho Hawaii was real nice too!
5. Plans for the weekend? nothing much tonight, tomorrow we have a funeral for DH's great aunt, then maybe hitting up babies r us for a lil inventory... then Boston for dinner w/ Sami's sister and cousin. Sunday - DADAADADAA DADADAA DAA DAAAAA DUM DUM! PATRIOTS! Bff is coming over w/ her husband so it should be fun!
Have a great weekend all!
9 Glorious Months!
My Photography Blog!
@Breanne- Please tell me how to make these yummy sounding caramel appletinis!!
@Courtney- I meant hair cut too, if you have one awful one to share :-) Also I did that haunted walking tour of Williamsburg on my bachelorette weekend! It was really cool, I hope you enjoy it!
1. What type of music gets you pumped up and what type makes you want to cover your ears and scream? I love 80's stuff like Pat Benetar and all the typical 80's hits. Rap and most hip hop makes me want to jump out a window, or really hard rocke like metal. DH has some metal and he knows when to skip a song if I'm nearby :-)
2. What is your favorite job you ever had? (any job in your whole life that you got paid for) I loooved my job at the coffee shop working with DH and all the people I worked with and the customers were great too. (Not to mention I fell in love w/ DH there heehee)
3. Describe your most amazingly awful hairstyle to date. I had a chin short bob (no layers) with very thin bangs which I cut myself.
4. What was your favorite trip with DH so far? Definitely the honeymoon since we had the BEST view ever and the room was so nice, and weather was perfect. After that I loved our trips to Cape May NJ because we hardly left the room except for a few hours here and there heeehee sorry TMI :-)
5. Plans for the weekend? Well, DH took MIL to the hospital this morning so a lot is hinging on how that goes. She couldn't move her left arm and at dinner last night out with us she couldn't chew (she's had a small stroke recently) so her symptoms have been worsening. Other than that, a couple inches of snow?!? and trying to fully recover from the semi-cold I've had this week. Fortunately no solid plans though!

1. What type of music gets you pumped up and what type makes you want to cover your ears and scream?
Pumped: any good dance music (I'm obsessed with David Guetta's new song, Without You)
Scream: Eminem. I just can't take him.
2. What is your favorite job you ever had? (any job in your whole life that you got paid for)
I like my current job a lot. However, I get paid to do calligraphy, which is easy money. Also, I got paid once $250 to help write a guy's resume. Long story. It was awesome!!!
3. Describe your most amazingly awful hairstyle to date.
Oh gosh, when I was 12 I had these big poufy bangs and I kept them around for wayyyyy too long. Let's just say it was an all-around awkward stage!
4. What was your favorite trip with DH so far?
Weekend trip to Philly for his bday when we were first dating - it was our first trip together. And our honeymoon - we were just so relaxed and enjoying it completely.
5. Plans for the weekend?
Tonight - going out for dinner, nothing fancy, probably just a diner because I am tired and don't feel like making anything. I have to finish up a set of escort cards for a bride.
Saturday - I have to work and I was supposed to go out to Hoboken tomorrow night for dinner with friends for Halloween. But I'm going to play it by ear because of the bad weather that's coming. I'm not a fan of driving by myself in bad weather, and it takes me an hour to get to Hoboken. We'll see... I'm annoyed
Sunday - going to AC to celebrate hubby's bday! We're staying at the hotel, getting dinner, going to a comedy show and getting some spa treatments. Cannot wait!!!!
Have a good weekend everyone!
1. What type of music gets you pumped up and what type makes you want to cover your ears and scream? House music - but not like the super mm-ch mm-ch kind, the more pop sounding songs that often have vocals. Or Britney always works!
2. What is your favorite job you ever had? (any job in your whole life that you got paid for) Probably my first year as a public defender. Maybe even year two. It was really fun for a long time.
3. Describe your most amazingly awful hairstyle to date. Ohhh the 7th grade perm...
4. What was your favorite trip with DH so far? I have to say our honeymoon, too. I'm a stress-case usually about getting back to work or spending too much money, and we didn't allow ourselves to do that on the honeymoon. It was amazing.
5. Plans for the weekend? Making arepas and sangria tonight wooohoo! I'm so excited. We have a halloween party tomorrow but nothing else. Hoping to be a productive human being for once.
OMG Danie I love you for sharing those pics!!!! Thank you so much, you made my day!
April 2010 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination
1. What type of music gets you pumped up and what type makes you want to cover your ears and scream? I usually enjoy most types of music, but hip hop/dance can really lift me up and get me going. Hard core heavy metal and rap is not my thing though
2. What is your favorite job you ever had? (any job in your whole life that you got paid for) hmmmm...not sure that I have had any job that I truly loved
3. Describe your most amazingly awful hairstyle to date. easy....kindergarten I looked like a freakin' boy!!!! What was my mother thinking?!??!?!?!?!
4. What was your favorite trip with DH so far? our honeymoon was good, but I think I really enjoyed the weekend the 2 of us went to the lake when we first started dating. It was so nice to get away just the 2 of us.
5. Plans for the weekend? tonight--watching the CARDS WIN GAME 7 BABY!!! we will probably order pizza or I'll pick one up on my way home tonight for dinner. Greg has to work late, but hopefully he will get home in time to watch most if not all of the game.
Saturday--I need to get a haircut, then Target & grocceries while DH is working. In the afternoon I need to make treats for our Boo Bash at work Monday. We may go to dinner in the evening depending on how we are feeling and how productive I've been.
Sunday--my 2 BFFs and I are going to an Apple Butter Festival/huge craft fair most of the day then I will come home and make dinner and veg.
Sometime in there I need to do lots of laundry and pick up around the apartment too.
1. What type of music gets you pumped up and what type makes you want to cover your ears and scream? I love big band music to get me pumped up! I cannot listen to Dave Matthews, he really does make me what to rip my ears out :P
2. What is your favorite job you ever had? (any job in your whole life that you got paid for) Excluding my current job, which I love except for the pay, I'd have to say coaching special olympics swimming - it was SO rewarding and fun!
3. Describe your most amazingly awful hairstyle to date. So, when I was 4 years old, I got roller skates. And with my roller skates on, I grabbed some scissors and climbed up on the counter in the bathroom and started chopping away. Yeah, it was BAD!
4. What was your favorite trip with DH so far? Probably Berlin, that is just such an amazing city and we walked our legs off!
5. Plans for the weekend? Work work work, oh and then. . . more work
Post-Wedding Life Blog!
A10 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination: San Francisco!
Oh my gosh Danie! I love those pictures!!! You are so adorable!
Even with hair cuts, I have never done anythign other than a straight trim, maybe some small layers every once in a while, but never a perm or a styled cut. Kind of boring.
I am really looking forward to the haunted walking tour of Williamsburg. DH and I have wanted to do it for a long time, and then a friend bought a really cheap package of tix off of LivingSocial or Groupon, so we figured this is as good a time as any
Just hoping it is not too cold or rainy, but I think that it will still be a lot of fun!
@Danie: That is so awesome that your Mom did those rockin' styles on you!
1. What type of music gets you pumped up and what type makes you want to cover your ears and scream? Pumped: Usually some reggeaton or any good hip hop dance music. Scream: anything super hard rock where the singer sounds like nails on a chalkboard.2. What is your favorite job you ever had? (any job in your whole life that you got paid for) I'd have to say where I'm at. It has a little of everything. My boss isn't perfect and drives me nuts sometimes but it has taught me patience!3. Describe your most amazingly awful hairstyle to date. I haven't had too many. My hair never permed when I was little. But it did crimp! Does crimping count?4. What was your favorite trip with DH so far? Would have to be our HM. We had a great time....5. Plans for the weekend? Shaun is working all weekend
So I'll be crafting, putting away some outdoor stuff, and doing a little shopping.

Yay Friday!
1.What type of music gets you pumped up and what type makes you want to cover your ears and scream?
Hip Hop gets me pumped up for sure, along with disco (yes, I still love my disco!)...and no music really makes me want to cover my ears - I like it all, but I tend not to like reggae very much...
2. What is your favorite job you ever had? (any job in your whole life that you got paid for)
Very, very tough one! I have very much enjoyed them all :-)
3. Describe your most amazingly awful hairstyle to date.
Happily, I haven't had many styles that were totally awful, although humidity and frizz have ruined styles that started out looking pretty alright!
4. What was your favorite trip with DH so far?
Another toughie! Toss up between St. Thomas/St. John and then Belize...we're South American/Carribean bums...speaking of which...time for another trip down there :-)
5. Plans for the weekend?
Pumpkin carving party on Sunday, and hiding from the snow tomorrow!
Have a great weekend, ladies!!
1. What type of music gets you pumped up and what type makes you want to cover your ears and scream? I get pumped up by 80s alternative and 90s grunge for the most part. Nirvana, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, 3 Days Grace, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden....Depeche Mode, Sisters of Mercy and other 80s music will get me up & runnin'. I seem to get the best workouts in at the gym when I find any of those guys on my MP3 player. I always used to kick on that stuff before a night out to my favorite alt-dance club; otherwise some good trance or techno will wake me up as well.
I absolutely can NOT listen to rap, Taylor Swift or that emo garbage.
2. What is your favorite job you ever had? (any job in your whole life that you got paid for) I honestly like where I am now, and I also loved working at HRBFA downtown. But, I always had fun at Victoria's Secret (even though it was a LOT of work, and kicking those stupid teenagers out was always more fun when I watched our manager Rose do it!).
3. Describe your most amazingly awful hairstyle to date. It's a tie. In 7th grade my cousin's sister in law gave me a perm and I looked so awful I wore a hood for weeks. I looked like a french poodle at it's worst! And in 1997 I went to this salon by the airport to get a hair cut on my lunch break when I was wroking at BAX Global. I told her I wanted it layered where it was a little bit shorter on the sides. Well, she butchered the sides completely and gave me a full on mullet!!! :-/ Within 2 days I was in a high-end salon getting it all hacked off super short like Bridget Fonda in "Single White Female" and started growing it all over again! Ended up staying at that salon with the same stylist for 8 years. No more $9 haircuts for me after that...
4. What was your favorite trip with DH so far? Sedona for the HM was beautiful but I must say, I really enjoyed our trip to Gatlinburg back in '08. It was right after we got engaged. I had a trip to Italy booked for October of that year but it was cancelled by the tour group due to lack of participation. I got all my money back and treated him to 4 days/3 nights in Gatlinburg and we loved it!!
5. Plans for the weekend? Weather permitting, DH, SD, myself, possibly my mom and maybe my cousins are planning on going to a farm tomorrow where they have corn mazes, hayrides, bonfires, concessions, petting farms, pumpkin cannons etc. If it rains we'll just go out to dinner and play a board game or something. Mom is coming here for dinner Sunday since the Lions play at 4 and DH wants to stay home to watch.
