Ms. Nancy is also hysterical. do yourself a favor and watch her fertility dance video (and think about babies).

Nancy's 11 questions for me-

1-what was your first concert? My aunt took me and a friend to see Lonestar and Blake Shelton in 2001?2002? Blake Shelton was the opener, that's how long ago it was. It was the start of a serious concert fever. We sat in the nosebleeds and I just remember looking down and thinking about how much more fun all the people on the floor were having. And they were all standing up. Where I was sitting, no one stood, cheered, danced, whooped. Nothing! From then on, people like that made me crazy!!

2-if you were on death row, what would be your last meal before you were executed?  Oh Boy, here we go. Stuffed crust cheese pizza, asparagus, Shells and cheese, Chips and queso/ rotel, Cheese filled crescent rolls with a ton of garlic salt. diet Pepsi. Those little cookies with the Reese's cups pressed in the middle and some peanut butter balls. What? I'm not a fatty girl because I would pick salad, that is for dayyyyum sure.

3-if you could invite 3 people (living or dead) to dinner, who would you choose? This is where you all learn exactly how un-worldly (is that the right word? whatever, I don't care) I am.
Reba McIntire. Katy Sagal. Amy Sherman Pallidino. #1 and #3 would make me laugh until I pissed myself and then Katy would tell us to shut up, zip up our boots and throw back our drinks.

4-what was your most favorite day ever? Easy peasy lemon squeezy. August 17th 2009. After 4 months and 1 week in Nicus all over this God-forsaken state, I got to put my son in his car seat and hightail his mini-booty home.

5-what is one thing you would like to do before you die? I have a lot of these things. As a individual, I would like to get to a healthy and fit weight. Enjoy a summer, and enjoy a day in my life without that guilt and misery of being overweight. As a wife, I would like to go with my husband on an anniversary trip somewhere totally inappropriate and act like drunken sex fiends. Duval street, Vegas, Mardi Gras. Whatever. As a mom, I want to do my best raising my son to grow up both knowing how special he is and yet not knowing how different he is. I would like him to grow up outside the label. I would like to continue to show him the magic that is Disney. For him to see things I didn't, and I want to be there to see him live it.

6-what was your first car? Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. That thing was awesome and it only met its demise when I ran off the road on an icy curve and plowed over and ex-boyfriends bushes. end scene.

7-what is your ultimate dream vacation destination? One of those little huts in the middle of the ocean on an end of a dock that everyone has posted on pinterest at one moment or another. Or Disney World.

8-what is your most embarrassing moment? Oh man, I have so many to name. Plowing over an exes bushes is pretty high up there. Ive fallen at work, both on my face and down the stairs. Ive cried in front of hundreds of people. I stuttered on TV making the word best sound like bestest. I could go on and on.

9-who is your celebrity free pass? Charlie Hunnam as Jax Teller, but he must be in character, and he must wear his kutte. Channing Tatum could be a good time too as long as we get to go dancing first.

10-what is your biggest pet peeve? People who try to get in an elevator before letting everyone off first.

11- how old were you when you lost your virginity (you didn't think you were getting off that easy did you?) Ehhh boy. I really do not want to answer this. I have family that reads this for Heaven's sake. Lets just say this. I was too young (even though I had this boyfriend for a very long time in grade school years. Remember I'm a long term girl). My age ended with -teen and I couldn't drive yet.
