Insta-Tuesday and "Me, Myself, and I"

Dress/belt:  Macy's (2011), Sweater:  Aerie (2010!), Leggings:  Old Navy, Sandals:  Target, Bracelet:  Bought off the beach in Anguilla

You can tell, by that ecstatic expression, that I was pretty thrilled about Monday.

It was a rainy, drizzly day and I prepared for it by starting out all sullen-like at 7am.

Maybe tomorrow you'll see a smile.

1) What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?  

I would definitely go back to school.  I would get a Bachelor's in American History.  Then, I would get a Masters' in Children's Literature.  And then I would teach both.  And then I would become Benjamin Gates of National Treasure.   

2) If you had only six months left to live, what would you do with the time?

I would travel anywhere and everywhere.

3) If a front page news article was written on you, what would the headline be?

"Army wife loses mind after 3 years in Alaska"  
Just kidding.  Maybe.  
Hopefully, it'd be for doing something amazing for kids.  Or maybe for discovering a hidden Native American treasure.  Scott and I both made my school's monthly newsletter last spring for this.  

4) What is your biggest pet peeve?

I wrote a whole rant about how I hate having my name spelled wrong.  

Also, I can't stand it when I see a toddler playing with an iPhone.    

Someone once said to me, "Oh wait, 'til you have a kid and you just want a moment of peace."  

Um no.  I don't think so.  You can totally hold me to that.   

(Coincidentally, it never fails to disappoint my husband when he sees that I have no games on my phone.  That's right.  NONE.  My future children are in for a boatload of fun.)

5) What is your favorite chick flick movie?

I unabashedly admit to disliking chick flicks.  I like unpredictable movies.  Usually you can tell exactly how a chick flick will end before you see the end of the preview.  And..this is weird too...I don't like movies with happy endings.  I like to be shocked (go watch The Reader).

However, there are exceptions to every rule.  

I will watch any movie with Mila Kunis.  I like Crazy Stupid Love.  And I really like Life as We Know It, because I like Katherine Heigl.

Also linking up with Jane for Insta-Tuesday!

Come hell or high water, there will be a tropical vacation this year.  

I wanted a beer so badly last Friday.  This was as far as I got.

The kids think extra recess is for them.  Nope.  It's for me.

 Muahhaha.  I can hardly wait for the season 7 premiere next month.

Football season in Alaska is kind of nice.  I mean, I might not get every game I want to see (grrr), but the games start at 9am, 1pm, and 4pm.  Instead of 1pm, 4pm, and 8pm.  Oh, and the Superbowl?  It starts at 2:30.  I appreciate a time zone that allows to go to bed early and watch football while eating cereal in bed.
