 Here is a fun link up hosted by From Mrs. to Mama - get the 411 on your bloggin' friends - so here is the 411 on Pamela.

1. How long have you been blogging? I actually started blogging in 2009 and back then my blog was for my nail art and promoting my Youtube videos and diapercakes. I didn't really get serious about it and change my style until 2011 and seriously since 2012.
And what got you started on blogging?I was doing a lot of contests to promote my videos and this was a good way to have people enter my contests.  Has your blog changed? I blog about life in general now - I have 2 blogs - one dedicated to crafting and sewing and then this one is more about everyday living.
2. Did you go to college?  Yes If so where, and what did you study? University of Central Arkansas - I studied Psychology and Special Education
3. Where have you traveled? I have been on 3 cruises and over half the states. I have been to Mexico several times.
4. If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would buy? A new house and car/truck for every member of our family.
5. What are your 3 biggest pet peeves? 1. People who don't do what they say they are going to do. 2. People who drop in unannounced and then stay and stay not even considering I may have plans. 3. People who want you to listen to everything about themselves, their kids, etc, but act like they could care less about your life.
6. What is your favorite movie? The Notebook
7. What is your drink of choice; wine, beer, or liquor. Not really a drinker, but if I had to choose something I would choose champagne. Or Water, Soda, Tea? Diet Coke or gourmet coffee
8. What is something you enjoy to do when you have me time? I prefer to shop alone, so shopping
9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be? Coach
10. Share with us an embarrassing moment of your past? Or present. I am sure there are plenty but none comes to mind that I can share...;-)
11. What day would you love to relive again? Actually would have to be a week - our first cruise together was for our 1st anniversary and my 40th birthday. We had so much fun!
12. If your life was turned into a movie... what actor would play you? Meg Ryan
13. What are the jobs you had in high school/college/the early years? Assistant Manager at Chicken Country, McDonalds, Dairy Bar
14. Show us a picture from high school or college. I will update if I can find one.
 15. If you could travel anywhere in the world, all expenses paid, where would you go? Italy
16. Show us the most current picture of you or you, or your family, or anything of meaning to you. This is a photo of my Bradley and 4 of our grandangels taken at Christmas.

17. Where do you see your life 5 years from now? Hopefully getting ready to retire and move closer to family. Sooner if we would just win the lottery!!

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly - Link Up


The weekend is over - Monday is here - all is quiet again at my house - no more company - no more excuses to let my house slide - my OCD has kicked back in and I have been cleaning house all morning - restoring everything back to its usual place. It has been totally out of whack for 2 weeks - make that 3 weeks - we had company pretty much for the past 3 weeks.

So on to the GBU ...

The Good - I had FUN FUN FUN with my 2 grandangels and mom here for 2 weeks. We crammed in a lot of good times. I feel like we made some really good memories. It was Lily's first trip here and I know she had a blast. I know she is only 5 so her memories will fade pretty quickly - but I hope our bond that we sealed will last our lifetimes.

The Bad - It rained the WHOLE second week - that pretty much put a damper on our pool time (literally!) and we really wanted Lily to learn more than she did. She went from being afraid to get off the first step to going all over the pool (with floaties and vest, of course) and she even put her face in the water with goggles on. I know she would have learned so much more had we had a full 2 weeks in the pool.

The Ugly - my house really really really is a mess. Oh my!! With Brad and I both being such sticklers about everything in its place - I think we did very well about letting it all go and just having fun. There was a few times when I attempted to clean toothpaste out of the sink or wipe down the mirrors, but I pretty much just ignored it for the most part. LOL
