What The Jorge?

“Give Me Five ways you like to de-stress, relax, wind down or kick back…”

1. Computer - I do everything from blogging, designing websites, reading other’s blogs, or participating in message boards. No matter what it is, this is my ultimate relaxer. I forget about my issues and what’s on my mind and I just type my feelings, I do what I want to do, my website is controlled by me and so far it’s the only thing a possible control freak like me can control so it means everything to me to have my own website to write and design how I wish.

2. Watching a movie/TV - This takes me into another world, escapes me from the stress and anxiety of the real world. My absolute favorite things to do is watch a race, NASCAR in perticular. I’m not sure what it is about watching a race that de-stresses me, but it does and I look forward to me de-stresser every weekend.

3. Writing - This would probably go under the category of blogging. I love writing, I would never do it professionally because I have been doing it freely for so long, I could probably never be correct with my words. It’s a venting system for me. I vent what bothers me or even what makes me happy and I have it out there and off my chest and I can go on with my day knowing I got it out.

4. Shopping - I don’t do this often because of the fact that student loans have got me broke for the next 40 years of my life, but when I do have a little extra money I go bargain shopping. I shop through clearance and buy things super cheap and make it into something else. Example: I bought a $3 sweater at Wal-Mart, the sleeves were defective but I’m going to cut the sleeve’s off of it and wear it over one of my long sleeve button down shirts. Wala! An outfit. A $3 outfit to be exact.

5. My dogs - Playing and wrestling around with my dogs puts the biggest, cheesiest smile on my face. They are like my kids so when I see them playing around and happy, I’m happy. What’s better than having a wagging tail standing by the door waiting for you to come home everyday?

Questions from the “Give Me Five” Monday Meme.

This-or-That?

Ice in your drink, or no ice?
Ice in my drink, as long as it’s got alcohol in it, I’m good! Can we say…MARGHARITAS!

Shoes or barefoot?
Barefoot, but my feet get cold easily in the house so I wear a lot of toe socks. They are surprisingly very warm, but the boyfriend thinks they look really scary.

Newspapers or online news?
Online news, it’s easier and more convenient to read in my crazy life. The world is at my fingertips on the World Wide Web in a snap. And I don’t have to pay for internet news.

Zoos or amusement parks?
Zoos. I’m not much of an amusement park person since I’m scared to death of roller coasters. I love animals anyways and Nick’s daugher has been begging and reminding me to take her to the zoo, so hopefully we will get to go this Summer.

Baseball or football?
FOOTBALL! I’m from Ohio people, we’re talking Buckeye country! Go Bucks! *winner* I watch NFL too, Indianapolis Colts are my favorite team. The boyfriend’s favorite team is the New Orlean’s Saints, so if you didn’t know, we watch a lot of football.

Movies or TV?
TV. I love reality TV and Two and a Half Men. Most of all I would love to get a ginormous flat screen TV and watch some sports on TV in the comfort of my own home with a margherita in my hand and my favorite team/driver’s jersey on cheering them to victory. (Woah! That sounded very cheesy!)

It’s A’Muse’ Me Monday! Time for a little fact or fiction (or both): I always get a kick out of these!

Fact: Name five of your favorite songs and the artists who wrote them.
1.) “This I Promise You” by ‘NSync
My ultimate favorite love song. Plus it reminds me of my teenybopper days and obsessing over ‘NSync
2.) “Tim McGraw” by Taylor Swift
When you think Tim McGraw…I hope you think of me, because I would soooo co-populate with this man!
3.) “So Small” by Carrie Underwood
For the amazing, amazing lyrics!
4.) “You Are My Sunshine” by Jimmie Davis
My dad used to sing this song every morning to me to wake me up to go to school.
5.) “Through the Rain” by Mariah Carey
Another inspirational song and I idolized her when I was a teenager.

Fiction: Make up a short song about your love for your camera. (It can be funny or serious).

I love my digi cam
So much I named it Sam
I take pictures of people that are big hams
Then email it to people as spam.

I love you my beautiful, black, sexy, digi cam

(Ok so I suck at writing songs, but I will have a major laugh at this one later!)

QotD (Question of the Day)

When was the last time you surprised someone else?

I kind of surprised my boyfriend with his figaro necklace for Christmas. If if you have a man, you know they don’t show much emotion so I’m not real sure if he was surprised or not. For as much as that necklace cost me, in my world…he was pretty damn surprised.

The last time I think I genuinly surprised someone was a few Valentine’s Days ago when I ordered flowers to be delivered to my mom’s work. They delivered it to her after she left work which kind of annoyed because I told them what time she leaves, but one of her co-workers called her at home and told her to come back and get them, which was luckily not too far, so she was still surprised and it made me feel good that I surprised her.
