How Gold Digger became our song: Facts about me

Last night, my sister in law married a wonderful man. We had an awesome party, ate great food, danced our butts off to many requested songs, and everyone had a great time. When the DJ announced our song, our friends were incredibly confused. I thought I would explain.  That led to me answering some of the questions others have had for me this week. ** Amendment: by "others" of course, I mean Janet from Ordinary Mom! **

Our dancing shoes for the night!
How did Gold Digger become your song?
Four years ago, there were a slew of weddings at my office. We were at one reception dance and the song came on. I had heard it on Glee and loved it. However, because I only knew the song from Glee, I had no idea how raunchy it was. I dragged The Guy out onto the dance floor. It was the first song we ever danced to. The most ridiculously inappropriate song ever. It's been a running joke ever since.

What did you want to be when you grew up?
Here is what I listed each year when I was asked that question by my mom: Teacher, cowboy (not cowgirl?), police officer, ballerina (hilarious, being I have no dancing skills), and sniper. Thankfully, I went for police officer and got side tracked into human services.

How many languages do you speak? If you could learn one new language, which would it be?
I speak one. It's pathetic really and I wish I spoke more. I can speak some French and less Spanish. I would like to learn Russian, but so far (despite the Rosetta Stone, which I'm not great at using) I know how to tell you that your green dog is very big.

What age did you enjoy the best so far?
So far, my 30s have been the best part of my life. I was terrified of turning 30, but my entire life changed for the better and keeps getting that way. I bought a house, had many dogs, met The Guy, got married, started our life, started a house build, etc. It's been a ride. I'm more confident in myself, I'm more relaxed, and I know where I want to go - even if I don't know how we're getting there yet.

If I gave you $5 to spend on yourself RIGHT now, what would you buy?
I really want a peanut buster parfait. I considered going to get one, but it's not good for me. I considered walking to get one to negate the bad factor, but my legs/feet still hurt from dancing last night. Lazy is the only thing stopping me from putting on weight. Ironic, no?

  2. I agree. The 30s have been a great age so far. Of course I am holding on to them with both hands now that I am sliding quickly into my 40s. ACK!! ;)

    1. It's seriously the least romantic song ever. But, it really suits us. In the way it absolutely does not suit us at all!
