Every day for 30 days I will be adding to this post so please come back to see what the new question is!
Day 1 – What was your favorite TV show as a kid?
Since I am from the “older than dirt” generation and we didn’t have but about 3 – 4 channels, I will have to say that my favorite was Sesame Street.
Day 2 – Name 5 things you are thankful for.
- My life.
- My family.
- My friends.
- My health.
- My ability to connect with people.
Day 3 – What was the name of your first pet?
Snowball was the first pet that I can remember. This dog bit me and left a scar near my eye. It would always run away to the neighbors house and then one day, it never came back.
Day 4 – If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?
I would have to say a cello because it has a deep sound that is smooth and gives a song a whole different vibe than most of the other instruments.
Day 5 – Name 5 interesting facts that occurred the year you were born.
- The popular TV show Happy Days debuted January 15, 1974.
- The first issue of People magazine was released on March 4, 1974 which had actress Mia Farrow on the cover.
- Steven King released his first novel, Carrie on April 5, 1974.
- The UPC (universal product code) was first scanned to sell a pack of Wrigley’s gum on June 26, 1974.
- Former President Richard Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974 because of the Watergate scandal.
Day 6 – What is the one goal you want to achieve this year?
My true goal that I would love to achieve this year is to be able to quit my current job so that I can blog and travel full time.
Day 7 – What are 4 of the coolest pictures you’ve taken?
Scarowinds Skeletons 
Shell Island 
Jellyfish at Ripley’s 
Hanging 10 at Folly Beach.
Day 8 – List 5 activities on your bucket list.
- Zip-lining through the woods.
- White water rafting.
- Snow skiing.
- Go on a cruise.
- Take a scenic dinner train.
Day 9 – What are your favorite 3 snacks?
Of course I love popcorn (white cheddar & butter flavored), peanuts with the exception of boiled peanuts (boiled peanuts feel so slimy that I just can’t bare to eat them) and raisins (especially Raisinets!).
Day 10 – If you were a mixed drink, what would your name be?
My mixed drink would be SuperStar. I think it reflects my personality. I give a 100% in all I do but I like to keep it light and humorous (fruity). Definitely a great summertime drink because I don’t like the cold (lol).
Day 11 – What is your favorite flower?
Although roses and daisies are beautiful, I will have to say that my favorite flower would have to be sunflowers. Sunflowers automatically give me a positive feeling and make me smile.
Day 12 – What is your all time favorite game to play?
Well it used to be Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 2 but once H1Z1 came along, it became my all time favorite PvE. I hate that you can’t play it anymore but it might make a comeback one day. Fingers crossed!
Day 13 – If you were on the show Survivor, what 3 personal items would you take with you?
Well considering you can’t take any personal hygiene items or items that you would receive as rewards from winning challenges, there are limited items to choose from. On top of that, the show provides things like medications, female products and sunscreen. So my 3 items would include:
- a crocheted sweater (so I can use the string)
- a straw hat (so that I can block the sun, catch fish or whatever else I can use it for)
- a picture of my family (so I can stay inspired to push forward)
Day 14 – Name something you like to do in your free time.
From working a full time job, helping take care of my granddaughter and working on my blog, there’s not much free time to do anything relaxing. When I do get a minute to relax on the weekends, I like to do one of two things: read a book or binge watch a show on Netflix. Both help me forget about all the things I need to get done lol.
Day 15 – If you could buy into any franchise, what would it be?
This is a hard question considering that you want to be as profitable as possible but truthfully I would choose a Charming Charlie’s store. I love how the store is set up and color coded so that you don’t have to hunt for things that match. It may not be as glamorous, profitable or popular as other franchises but it suits my personality and I love shopping there!
Day 16 – What is your top 3 favorite fruits?
I am totally a fruit lover even though I know I don’t eat the recommended daily amounts. My top 3 fruits to actually eat are bananas, strawberries and pineapple. Now I have to say that I love coconut but I’m not too fond of straight up eating it. I use it more to flavor other things than to actually eat.
Day 17 – If you had to choose between having a chef or maid, which one would you pick?
Even though both would be nice, I would have to take the maid. Eating out could replace the chef but there isn’t any other options for cleaning besides cleaning yourself so definitely I would take a maid!
Day 18 – What book are you currently reading?
Around the World on 50 Bucks by Christopher Schacht which I am totally enjoying because it’s amazing to read about this young guy’s goal to travel the world and how he made it happen. Click the link for the book review!
Day 19 – What was your worst wardrobe malfunction?
Years ago when I had a job as an inspector, I had came back early to my station to get ahead on my job. When another coworker came to get something she had forgotten she noticed that my jeans were ripped all the way up the backside. I had literally walked through the whole plant not even knowing that everyone could see my panties. What did I do? Ha, I took a roll of duct tape to the bathroom and taped my pants from the inside so that no one would know. I made it through the day but it was so embarrassing not knowing who may have seen me.
Day 20 – Name 3 of the best concerts you’ve been to.
- Trans-Siberian Orchestra
- Motley Crue
- George Jones
Day 21 – What is your spirit animal?
According to my birthday my spirit animal is the Raven. Wise, intelligent, strong, crafty and mysterious all wrapped up in one….the Raven.
Day 22 – What magazine do you read the most?
My favorite magazine to read is All You but only certain stores carry it so I don’t see it that often.
Day 23 – What are your top 3 most used emojis?
One for sending love, one for wanting to get your attention and one for laughing. These are my top 3 used emojis:
Day 24 – What song best describes your personality?
It would probably have to Fireball by Pitbull. You might think that my flame is low sometimes but I’m a fireball.
Day 25 – What is your Chinese zodiac sign?
The Chinese zodiac signs are based off the year you are born and since I was born in 1974, that makes me born in the year of the Tiger. You can even break it down even further by what type of tiger and mine is the wood tiger.
Day 26 – What is the best compliment you have ever received?
“You don’t look old enough to have grand kids.” – Bless you and thank you.
Day 27 – Name 3 things you love about the fall.
- The leaves turning colors.
- College football. (Go Clemson Tigers!)
- Halloween.
Day 28 – If you could change one thing about your appearance what would it be?
Growing up I would’ve said my ears because they stick out further than I liked but now I would have to say my weight. Once you reach your 40’s you wish you could weigh as much as you did the first time you thought that you were fat.
Day 29 – What was the last movie you watched?
The Shack. Even though it came out in 2017, I watched it for the first time this past week. I have to say it is inspiring especially for people who struggle with forgiveness and getting past a devastating event.
Day 30 – What was your first paying job?
Right out of high school, I started working at a beauty salon cutting, dying and perming hair. I quit when I started getting sick from the perm solution smell due to I was pregnant with my first son.
I have to say that I really enjoyed the new questions even though I it took me over 30 days to finish this series.
