MilSpouse Friday Fill-in #21

 Another fun filled friday fill-in! Head on over to Wife of a Sailor and fill out your own!

 

1. Were you named after anyone? Ugh, so if we have to be honest here, my dad named me after the country singer Tanya Tucker because he thought she was pretty.  I always thought she looked like a man. Nice, dad.

2. What color, if any, are your toenails usually painted? 

 

I paint them in french tips, navy blues and black mostly. Lieutenant defiantly hates the color red so I don't wear that often unless I want to match with something.

3. How do you flush a public toilet? Hands? Feet? Something else? 

 

The toilets are usually automatic here but when they aren't I use my foot (if I am wearing tennis shoes) or I will use toilet paper.

4. When you were a little kid, which TV character did you have a crush on? 

 

I had a crush on the Captain from The Sound of Music hahaha... Oh and Rolfe.

5.Let’s say you had to lose one of your five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell).  Which one would you choose? Why? 

 

I guess I could live without touch. I mean, I want to see the world, hear nature, taste and smell good flavors...it would suck to lose my touch but it would suck more to lose the other ones.

MilSpouse Friday Fill-In #19

Here's another addition of MilSpouse Friday Fill-In! Head on over to Wife of A Sailor and fill out your own!

1. What’s the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for you?
One time when I was working at Subway, this guy tipped $20. I was supposed to split it with everyone else but he saw that I was the only one working while everyone else was messing around in the back. He grabbed a soda cup and stuffed the $20 in it and said "This is for you, go get yourself a drink!"
2. If you are having a hard time going to sleep, what do you do to help yourself?
   
Usually I will read my Blogger feed or Google News. Other times I will call Lieutenant and we'll talk until we both fall asleep.
3. Name something that makes you wish you were a kid again.
I definitely miss being with my grandparents. My grandma was a mom to me up until I was 11 years old (we moved from the area) and my grandpa was my pal.
4. What is something you never believed until you experienced it?
   
I never believed I could have love like this. I know that saying that is completely cliche but oh, its true. Before I met Lieutenant I always felt a hole in my life. Something was missing and nothing could fill it. When I met him, everything was perfect and still is.
5. What can’t you say “no” to?

Honestly, don't come over here offering me chocolate OF ANY KIND. I'm a self-proclaimed chocoholic and so is Lieutenant. We were drooling on the phone today as we randomly discussed how much we were craving chocolate mini donuts.

1. What is the longest road trip you’ve ever taken?
   From Las Vegas to San Antonio. It was brutal. I was ten years old, sitting in the very back of the car while the cooler leaked ice water where I slept.
2. Do you collect anything? Tell us a bit about it.
   I really don't collect anything. Mostly because I have nowhere to put it. When Lieutenant and I get our own place, I'll probably collect books (is that even a collection?) and owls. I really love owls.
3. What is your favorite part about being an adult?
   My favorite part about being an adult is still feeling okay when I act like a kid...like when I prank Lieutenant or hide behind a corner and scare him. Other than the fact that I can get married and stay out late, being an adult is not fairing well with me.
4. What song brings a tear to your eye?
   Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
5. Describe your first plane ride (how old you were, where you were heading, etc).
   My first plane ride was when I was two years old and I was in a C-130 heading from Hawaii to Georgia. I don't remember it at all.

Friday Fill In!

Woo! My first Friday Fill in! Join in over at Wife of A Sailor

1. What is the silliest get-up you have ever worn outside of a Halloween party? (from To The Nth)
Silliest? Hmm well I was a zombie a couple of years ago. No, that doesn't sum it up...I was...a pregnant zombie....of triplets. Maybe subconsciously I was telling myself I needed to hold off on children!
2. What is something that you gave up in order to live the military lifestyle? (from Pennies from Heaven)
I guess the main thing that I am giving up is being able to live close to my family. We're all pretty tight knit and having to move so far from my sisters and brother and my nieces and nephews....well it sucks. But I talked to Lieutenant who said I could fly out whenever I wanted.
3. If money wasn’t a factor and you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? And why? (from Life and Times of a Displaced Jersey Girl)
I would definitely go to Alaska. Lieutenant and I want our honeymoon to be an Alaskan cruise and its my goal to hike to a place where I can see the northern lights.
4. If you were going to join the military, what branch would you join? Or which MOS/rating would you choose? (from And You Never Did Think)
Back when I was in high school I was in Junior Air Force ROTC. I wanted to be a nurse in the Air Force. After high school, I seriously considered joining the Air Force and doing some type of work in psychology. Now if I were to join the Air Force I would wait until I got my degree in Psychology and then work towards combating PTSD and helping servicemen and women who need an outlet.
5. What is your favorite thing to make for dinner? (from Armendinger Party of 4)
Unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to cook for Lieutenant since we don't live together yet. However, we did make a mean homemade vodka and tomato sauce for our chicken and bowties. But Lieutenant is a huge fan of meatloaf and any type of dessert. And well, that excites me. I can't wait to cook for us!
