21. Your 10 favorite foods I love food. I think even if I were a skinny little thing, I’d still love it. The flavors, the taste, the way certain foods remind you of memories and people and things. The night before I went to the hospital, I had a really good meal. My mom and her boyfriend had gone out to eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory. I wasn’t up to going with them (because of the pain I’d been having), but I had them bring me a meal back. I wanted something good and I love Italian food, so I got Garlic Shrimp Fettuccine. OMG Was it good! My…

20. A difficult time in your life There have been a few difficult times in my life. Right now is one of them with having to find a new place to live and my recent hospital stay. Which, by the way, did I mention I have to move? I can’t remember. About 2 1/2 weeks ago the friend I’m staying with messaged me on Facebook (well her fiance is actually the one who messaged me) and said that I have to be out of the house by June 15th because my friend’s mom and her boyfriend broke up so she’s moving back to California and into the house with them.…

19. What do you collect? My funny answer is that I collect weight because I gain it, but never seem to lose it. My real answer is that the only thing I really “collect” is Winnie the Pooh beanies. If you go here and look at the header picture at the top. Those Pooh beanies are what I’m talking about. Those are not my beanies though and that is not my site. I don’t collect them in the way that I need every single one. I just get the ones that I like. And actually, I have not bought one in quite a while because of my income and the…

18. The meaning behind your blog name Blog Name: Beautiful Mess If you’ve read my blog for more then a second, you’ve probably read that I love Lance Bass. Which means if he recommends an artist, I’ll give them at least a listen. So in 2001 when he signed an artist named Meredith Edwards to the management company he had at the time and she came out with a country album, I listened to it. And loved it. I still listen to it 13 years later. One of the songs on the album is titled “A Beautiful Mess“. And that’s where I got my blog name from. I’d also like…

17. What is your most proud moment? My most proud moment doesn’t even have to do with me, but with my brother Jordan. He graduated from high school in 2008, went to a junior college for a while, then went to CSU – Stanislaus and graduated in 2012 with a degree in Criminal Justice. He also worked at least part-time hours while going to college. He wants to be a police officer and though he has not been accepted to an academy yet, he is still applying in different counties around California.

16. What’s at the top of your bucket list? Get married. Have kids. Get healthy. Visit the countries my ancestors are from – Russia/Poland, England, Ireland.

15. Timeline of your day My day’s are pretty low-key and there’s not really a set schedule for them either. Here’s a run down of my day while I’m here at my mom’s. I basically wake up when I want to. My mom gets up around 6am, comes out to the living room and watches tv. I sleep in the same living room, but I sleep with a blanket wrapped around my eyes to keep out the light so even if I start to stir awake I can usually get myself back to sleep, but I’m usually up for good between 9 and 11am. Either a nurse or an in-home…

14. If you won the lottery… If I won the lottery, the first thing I would do is take a pile of cash and make it rain all over my room. I’d also figure out how much I could freely spend while still saving some for a rainy day. If I won the big one, like enough millions that it’ll last for the rest of my life, I have a bunch of things I would like to do. I’d pay off any debt I have. Upgrade myself to a new car. Fix my living situation (depending on where I currently was would depend on how much needed fixing) Help out…

13. What is your earliest memory?   That is a hard question for me to answer. I “remember” stuff that happened to me when I was little, but I think it’s because I have just heard the stories so much. So I’m not actually remembering from my own memory of the event, but rather from the retelling. Like there’s the time when I was about 3 when my parents and I were at the beach with a bunch of friends and I was playing at the shoreline in the sand when a big wave came in and washed over me. Before my parents could really react, the wave went back and…

12. What’s inside your fridge? I don’t have my own fridge since I have roommates. And I could tell you what’s just in the drawer on each side of the fridge/freezer that’s mine, but I don’t really remember. Most of the food I keep in the house stays in my room with me (stuff like soup or boxed rice/pasta mixes). I think there are some ice pops in the freezer and string cheese in my parts of the fridge. Now if we wanna talk about what’s mine at my mom’s I’ve got a better answer. There’s some garlic and something Wavy Lay’s. Wait, that’s not a fridge food. Ok, there’s…
