Favorite Place to Eat

This used to be my favorite place. Well, it still is, but they don't have any in my area anymore. It was pretty much like Texas Roadhouse, where you get the big rolls and buckets of peanuts. (Any of you guys out there know what I'm talking about?) My favorite thing to get was the pork chops.

We've had a lot of family birthday dinners here, and we always have a great time. It helps that you have "endless" breadsticks and salad, but we also normally get good service and the prices are not too expensive (for the most part). We have two locations that are close to us, so that's also pretty nice.

Something You're Looking Forward To

It's pretty generic, but I'm just looking forward to having a day off from work! I've been working a lot lately, sometimes all day and night since I have two jobs, so it's nice to have a day where I don't have to worry about being anywhere. I had a few days off at the end of May, but I was house-sitting, so I still had to make sure I was around for that... The last time I had a "real" vacation, that is, a time where I actually went somewhere besides places around my area, was a few years ago. I suppose I can contribute that to lack of funds, but I also feel obligated to stay home because of my pets, and the fact that my mom has to take care of them if I'm not home. Hopefully in a couple of months I will feel stable enough take a week for myself.

Dream House

Wow. I've never thought much about it before because having my own house seems so far away. I do know that I'd love to have a home theater system since I like to watch movies; having a big popcorn maker in that room would be pretty cool, too. A pool would be nice, maybe a tennis court so I can learn to play, and even a playground would be fun, even if I don't have kids. haha I also like those houses where you can see down into the whole bottom of the house from the second floor; I guess that's called a balcony. Oh, and while we're talking about balconys, having a private one to look outside from my bedroom would be cool. :)

Bible Verse

As I've said before, I am a Christian, and I do attend church at least twice a week, so there are a TON of verses I could give you, but I won't do that... LOL I'll just a name a couple that are most important to me and/or are just my favorite ones.

-Romans 12:19 (King James Version)
"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

I like this one because it makes me feel safe, that no matter what I do or what someone else does, we will get what we truly deserve.

- Matthew 17:20 (KJV)

"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."

It's nice to know that I could do ANYTHING. I don't know if I'll ever have *that* much faith, but I can surely try.

- John 14:27 (KJV)

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

This has slightly more meaning to me because one of my tattoos is a world with a peace sign through it, and I always wanted to find a verse that would go along with that.

A Picture Of You Last Year - How Have You Changed?

Well, for starters, I don't have short bangs anymore. I may regret posting this particular photo because I think I look like very boyish in it... Boo. Anyway, as far as physical changes go, I may or may not have gained *some* weight, and I've already talked about the bangs, but my hair in general is quite a bit longer because I decided I wanted to donate it eventually. I especially chose this picture because at this time last year, I was WAY more into makeup. I used to wear makeup a lot more, and I would take a picture of it every time I wore it. For instance, this picture came in a set of pictures I took to show swatches on my lips of the new lipsticks I got. Well, I still like makeup a whole lot, but I have gotten really lazy with putting much on. If I do, it's usually for church, which is once or twice a week.

Goals

This is kind of hard because I am not the really the person who says, "By X day I will have X done." It's more of "Well, I need to get this done, so I will just slowly do it and then hurry, hurry, hurry when it's right at the last second." LOL I wouldn't say I'm exactly a procratinator because at work, I like to get everything done first, and then sit and relax when I'm done. At home I guess I don't have much to do, so nothing I have to do can't wait. I don't know if that's good or bad. I know they say you should set goals for yourself...but I guess I just don't have any. I'm more of a person that just tries to be happy and do whatever does that for me.

Something You Don't Leave The House Without

Well, duh, I HAVE to have my keys, but oddly enough, I only have 2 keys on there - my car key & my house key. haha Other things include various rewards cards, a flashlight that no longer works, a mini Eiffel Tower that my co-worker recently brought me back from Paris, and a little bird key chain from Old Navy. :)
