Accent Vlog Linkup!!

Today's linkup was a pretty neat idea!! Allie, Faith, Juliette & Lindsay came up with the idea to do an Accent Vlog Linkup so you can hear everyone's accents! I, of course, always think I do not have an accent but then when I talk to someone not from North Carolina they tell me I do! :(

The idea is for everyone to film themselves answering these questions, post it to your blog and then linkup so everyone can see!

Here are the questions:

1. Your Name
2. Where you're from.
3. Pronounce the following words: Aunt, Roof, Route, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Pajamas, Caught, Naturally, Aluminum, Crackerjack, Doorknob, Envelope
4. What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
5. What is a bubbly carbonated drink called?
6. What do you call gym shoes?
7. What do you call your grandparents?
8. What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
9. What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
10. What is the bug that when you touch it, it rolls into a ball? How about the one that lights up at night?
11. What do you say to address a group of people?
12. Do you speak any other languages? If so, say something in that language(s).
13. Do you think you have an accent?
14. End by saying any 3 words you want.




Alright and here is my vlog. I forgot to record it yesterday like I originally planned so I did it this morning at work! Before I had any patients of course. I had my door shut so my coworkers wouldn't hear me and think I was crazy but they still probably think I was in here talking to myself saying words like "mayonnaise" and "pajamas"...

Alright now it's your turn!! Video yourself and link up! :)

Favorite Blogs

In the linkup today, we are sharing our 3 favorite blogs that we follow.

Back in 2011 after I had my son is when I started reading blogs. The first one I started following was Mama Laughlin. I think I found her through Pinterest actually. She was funny, a mama, beautiful, and trying to get fit so she automatically become my "idol". I know recently she's gotten a lot of flack but I still enjoy following her though it's mostly through Instagram since she doesn't blog as much. 

It was actually thru following Mama Laughlin's blog that I stumbled upon Skinny Meg, who was back then Miss Madison's Charmed Life I believe. She seems to be one of the most down to earth people in all of her posts and instagram pics and I think she's a great mommy. She lost a heck of a lot of weight and then got pregnant with her 2nd child and now she is trying to shed that weight! Inspiring.

My 3rd is Whitney from I Wore Yoga Pants To Work . I think it was just last year that I found her blog and immediately loved it. I think I was late to the party though because I'm pretty sure everyone & their mama reads and cracks up at her posts. Oh and girl can drink so she's got that going for her! :p

Finish Me *

I'm finishing some sentences today ...

• When I open the fridge, I always hope I find... a nice cold bottle of Aquafina. It never fails that someone else drinks the last bottle and doesn't restock the shelf back up.. Drives me crazy!!! [all I drink is water & yes I know bottles are bad for the environment but I just can't.stop.]
  
• My favorite article of clothing is currently my black & salmon maxi dress. From Kiki La'Rue. I feel pretty in it :) (& thin-score!)
  
• Last week I was really pissed when I found out my husband got moved back to 3rd shift. Ughhh.. He had been training on 1st for his promotion for 5 weeks and was told he would be on 1st until October, but that got changed and now he is back on 3rd. womp womp. Back to being what feels like a single mom.
  
  
• One thing nobody understands about me is I seriously prefer being a "homebody". I am content only going to work and then coming home to my kids. Don't get me wrong, I like to go shopping or family outings, but I do not go out with friends or have my kids spend the night with other people/family for a break. If I'm not at work, I have my children.
  I know I should give myself a break every now & then. Or hubby & I need to go on a date night.. but it's rare. We did go to Gatlinburg for 2 nights for our anniversary last October. It was nice. But no date night since. lol
  
  
  
• One thing I don't understand is how all these people recently are forgetting their kids in hot cars. It is seriously ridiculous and makes me angry. Livid. And that one jackass in GA that did it on purpose?! Ugh.... no words.
  
  **Speaking of which - have you seen this Vehicular Heatstroke Awareness video?? I cannot watch it without tearing up. So sad. (watch at your own risk)
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The world would be a better place if there were less stupid people in the world. Sorry but that's all I got.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• If I had a million dollars, I'd do whatever the hell I want. Seriously!! What wouldn't I do ?! I would buy a new house, buy my husband a boat, go on a tropical vacation & then to France, new car, and put whatever was left in stock to make some more $$$$
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• If I knew I'd die next week, this week I'd cry. I know I would obviously spend all the time with my kids but how would I stop crying?? I can't imagine knowing you only had a week left to live. I would be so sad. Ugh so awful.  I don't want to think about it.
  
  
• If I could change one thing about myself, it would be ... okay this is embarassing and I can't believe I will type this on the web for the world to see, but my ears . I know that sounds stupid but I have always been super self concious about them. They stick out. I never ever wear my hair up. I want to get ear pinning plastic surgery. I will probably delete this soon. lol
  
  
• Something that can always make me happy is chocolate. and wine. Oh, let me change that to wine! Yes. Wine. More specifically, Apple Raspberry wine from Apple Barn in TN.
  
  
  
  ^^^Yes that is actually the top of my fridge lol. Buy it by the case!!
  
  
  
• If I could go anywhere I would go to Paris. Because I have always always wanted to go. I took French in high school because I was obsessed with it. When I first moved into my own place I decorated with pictures of France and had a 2 foot Eiffel Tower statue thing in my dining room.
  Cliche though because I think everyone wants to go there :p
  
  
  
  
  
• If I were an animal I would be a kangaroo?!? I don't know effin about that. hahaha
  
  
• A job I've always wanted is the job I already have. I've known I wanted to be a sonographer since I was in the 7th grade. Very lucky that I've known for forever & actually was able to follow thru with it. And after working for a few years and getting experience at a hospital, I was able to get what I would consider my "dream job" as far as hours & location go :) woo hoo.
