I just learned today that my girl over at
has a link up called Monday Quiz. I love doing link ups like this and learning about my fellow (and favorite) bloggers so I thought I would give it a try this week! Please feel free to join in and link up with us (you can link up at the end of this post)!

1. How often do you shop for groceries? Do you shop in one place or many?

We probably shop for groceries more than I intend to. I always have the intentions of making a weekly grocery list and going grocery shopping once per week, but we get busy and it just doesn’t happen so then hubby ends up going to the store on a daily basis which is usually every night, right before dinner, to pick up items needed for that night’s dinner. It’s a crazy cycle that I am trying really hard to break!

2. How old were you when you had your first taste of alcohol?

Oh wow. I was young. I’d say 8 maybe? My grandparents always had parties – pig roasts to be exact. And grandpa always got a keg. And I always stayed at my grandparents (if I didn’t have school, I was at grandpa and grandma’s). One year after one of the pig roast, I was outside by myself with the keg. I decided to give it a little taste. It was my first taste of Schmidt beer (can you tell, it was a long time ago and I’m from the midwest?) After that “taste”, I didn’t drink alcohol again until I was 15-ish.

3. How much TV do you watch?

Do I personally watch? I personally watch maybe 20-30 hours per week. Depends. Monday I usually only watch The Voice (2 hours) and then maybe something from 9pm until 10pm. Tuesday is my show night which runs from 7pm until 10pm (The Voice, The New Normal and Parenthood). Wednesday is usually less because I don’t typically watch anything until Chicago Fire at 9pm. Thursday is Grey’s Anatomy so again 8pm and then maybe something from 9pm until 10pm. And Friday’s I don’t have anything so it varies along with the weekends. Depends if we do movies with the kids or not.

4. How do you relieve stress?

Blog. I have found that my blog is a great stress reliever. Oh, and writing lists has definitely helped me keep my stress level down lately.

And for my 5th question…

What are your hobbies?

I love writing – poems, stories, blogs, lyrics. I love it! I love singing. I do it all the time. Spending time with the family. Getting out and doing stuff (with the family together). Playing cards. Beading.
