Go see the list HERE for the whole month.

Day 7 for Tuesday, May 7th: The thing(s) you're most afraid of.

1. Death/Dying. I know it's cliche, but I am afraid of death and dying any way you want to look at it. I'm afraid of ME not being here on earth for my loved ones and I'm afraid of my loved ones not being here for ME.

2. Worms. Yes, I know it's silly and my Husband makes fun of me, but I hate worms. It's more of a phobia I think, but a fear, too.

3. No Air. As in like drowning. I hate that feeling of not being able to breath. Ugh.



4. Big bodies of water. Only god knows what's in it. Sharks and other giant animals/things.

5. Change. I like my predictable life. Plain and simple, just the way it is.



What are you afraid of?

Day 6 for Monday, May 6th: If you couldn't answer with your job, how would you answer the question, 'what do you do'?

My full-time job in simple terms is "I am an attorney's assistant."

I complete various tasks under the supervision of a licensed attorney. I cannot give legal advice.

Some things I do:

Draft, prepare, review and revise pleadings and correspondence;

Prepare and coordinate all documents for trial;

Meet and communicate with attorneys, clients, law firms, courts and outside sources on a daily basis;

Assist attorney with all stages of cases from beginning to end;

Maintain and manage calendar and physical files on a daily basis; and

Manage documents into files from various sources.

Does it sound like a resume, well, I pretty much copied and pasted.

Hey, it's Monday and I have way to much to do to actually type these things out.

I also take pictures on the side. It's just word of mouth. Mostly family and friends.

Go visit my page HERE.

I need to get that caught up with new pictures, too!

My other job?

Is taking care of these two.



My world revolves around them.

For her eating, sleeping, learning, playing, talking, singing, dancing, going to school, hanging with family, play-dates with friends. I am basically her assistant and chauffeur. And I wouldn't have it any other way!

For him, it's more of a partnership and friendship, to support, to listen, to love, sometimes cook, sometimes clean.

That about wraps it up.

What do YOU do?

Day 5 for Sunday, May 5th: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them great? Why do you love them? If you don't have blogger friends, talk about a real-life friend or even a family member.

Well, I am going to cheat and actually pick a group of blogger friends. I really can't pick just one, cause they are all really fantastic in their own way.

They are the Minnesota Bloggers!

If you are a Minnesota blogger and are NOT a part of this group, you are missing out. I recently foud and joined this group at the end of 2012, but have been more involved with them in the last month or so. They do happy hours and get togethers, etc. They have welcomed me into their group with open arms and hearts.

One of my favorite things about this group is how supportive they are of everyone, whether it be jobs or babies or families, or even struggles of any kind. They always know what to say.

Just want to say thanks ladies for being so great!!

Day 4 for Saturday, May 4th: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it



I probably heard this quote before, but the first time it really meant anything to me was when I heard it at my church while attending a funeral for a high school acquaintance named Jimmy.

I say acquaintance, because he was not a friend, but a guy I had gone to grade school with and had known since we were little. We had been in each others classes over the years and while we were never friends, Jimmy was always very kind and funny.

He died unexpectedly and out of the blue.

No one saw it coming and everyone was devastated.

He had taken his own life.

He had committed suicide.

I sat there listening to all these wonderful people talk about him and share life stories that they had experienced with him. It was a very bitter sweet day as funerals usually are.

Either way it has stuck with me and whenever I think about this quote I think of Jimmy and vice versa. It's pretty self explanatory. I think it gets right to the point.

RIP Jimmy

Day 3 for Friday, May 3rd: Things that make you uncomfortable.



Here are 8 of mine:

Small talk. I hate small talk. I always feel weird and awkward and never know what to say, or more importantly, what to ask to keep the conversation going. Everything at that moment just slips my brain.

Phone talk. I guess it depends on who it is, but usually I much rather text or email or Facebook someone than actually talk to them. Is that bad? Probably, but I don't really care.

Nylons. Like the full on panty-hose that you wear with dresses and skirts. I'm totally good with knee highs or even thigh highs, but the full ones try I try and avoid if I can.

My bubble. Don't enter my personal space.

Backseats. I get motion sickness so I prefer sitting in the front seat, but I know that's not always and option.

Too tight clothes. Either that I am wearing or that I see someone else wear. Either way...so uncomfortable.

Dirty feet. I hate when my feet feel dirty.

No phone. Being without my cell phone at any given time makes me so crazy uncomfortable. I literally feel like I am missing a limb.

 What makes you uncomfortable?
