MilSpouse Friday Fill-In #31/Five Question Friday!

1. Aside from no deployments, what is one thing you would want to make the MilSpouse life “perfect”? submitted by Oh How Delightful

Being able to keep our friends and family close due to all of the moving around the military makes you do.

2. Just how many peppers did Peter Piper pick? submitted by Married into Army

Probably a lot. I don't know. This is such a random question lol

3. If you could have any career in the world with nothing holding you back, what would you do? submitted by It’s My Party and I’ll Cry if I Want To

I would still want to be a nurse. if I couldn't be that, then I would be a photographer, cake decorator and a food critic lol.

4. Do you have a service oriented tattoo and if so what is it. If you don’t what would you get? submitted by The Squid’s Accomplice

I wouldn't, because I hate pain and needles and I know I would regret having a tattoo later. but if I absolutely HAD to get a tattoo, I would obviously get something Army-themed. I just don't know what.

5. Imagine a block of time has opened up in your busy day for you to take a class in anything you like. What subject would you choose? submitted by To The Nth

a photography or cake decorating class!

Head on over to Wife of a Sailor's blog to participate!

And now time for Five Question Friday!

1. Can you drive stick shift?

I can, and I'm pretty decent at it, too, I just can't "take off fast" or take off like a normal person would lol. I have to go slow. Therefore, if I'm pulling out of a parking lot or something onto a main road, I have to make sure there isn't a car coming for awhile so I can make it out on the street lol. Once I'm there I'm fine. I don't really have problems stalling, I just have problems going. And I don't clutch dance that much, either!

2. What are two foods you just can't eat?

Olives. and condiments (mayo, mustard, ketchup...YUCK!)

3. Do you buy Girl Scout cookies? What is your favorite kind?

I haven't bought any this year (I don't NEED them!) but my favorite is the Thin Mints!

4. How do you pamper yourself?

I really don't haha.

5. What is your nickname and how did you get it?

Mel. And I'm not really sure how I got it. I remember I got it during elementary school but one of my friends just decided to call me that, and it stuck. My mom will sometimes call me Missa, which I don't mind. I *HATE* the name Missy, though (thankfully no one calls me that!). My other nickname is Melosaur, and E gave that one to me. Don't remember when, maybe it was when we were watching The Land Before Time? hahaha
