Top Reasons to Attend an AWN Field Exercise™

When I left the military (a long time ago) I thought I had lost that sense of purpose I once had. It was a decision that was best for my family, because my husband was also serving and we had a young son at home. However, I still wanted to “serve”. So now I just…

Inside This “Actor’s Studio”

I thought I’d have a bit of fun with my blog this month. At home it’s Oscar Month. That just means Oscar Night is behind us, and I now have a list of movies to add to Netflix this month. I am especially behind this year. I still haven’t seen any of the Best Picture…

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? You’d think I’d say acting, but nope. Guess you’ll have to read to find out more.

Tara Crooks - March 3, 2013 - 9:48 pm

What is your favorite word? Empower – there is nothing like helping someone be empowered or feeling empowered yourself.
What is your least favorite word? Can’t – It really bothers me when I hear myself say “can’t” or when someone says they “can’t do something”.
What turns you on? Humble confidence – yes, that sounds odd but someone confident in who they are but not arrogant.
What turns you off? Selfishness and disrespect of others.
What is your favorite curse word? I didn’t think we could say that here?
What sound or noise do you love? The sound of my girls laughing. The sound of the sign my dog makes at night as he sleeps.
What sound or noise do you hate? Throwing up.
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? News anchor
What profession would you not like to do? Anything on DIRTY JOBS! :)
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? “Man, you were rotten, but I forgive you.”

What turns you on? The FDNY. (What? It’s true.)
What turns you off? Rudeness,
What is your favorite curse word? Muthaf’n. (The long version, though…)
What sound or noise do you love? Matthew’s reaction when I scare him. It’s probably my favorite thing, and it makes me laugh EVERY TIME.
What sound or noise do you hate? Crying. Don’t emote in public, for crying out loud. (Well, unless it’s tears of appreciation. That only makes me slightly uncomfortable.)
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Army PAO. Really. I would love to take pictures for the Army.
What profession would you not like to do? Being a waitress. I just need one person to cop an attitude with me…

I don’t like food service either.

Starlett Henderson - March 4, 2013 - 1:04 pm

Our whole family loves Vin Diesel (in Pacifier and Iron Giant). I just added “Find Me Guilty” (2006) to my NetFlix list, because I heard it was one of his best serious movies. Have you seen it?

Starlett Henderson - March 4, 2013 - 1:06 pm

I thought you picked three winners and three losers. The “3″ I was referring to was Best Picture, Actor, and Actress, so I thought you were 2/3 on those and I was 0/3.

Tara Crooks - March 4, 2013 - 1:38 pm

Oooohhh Pppycock!

Tara Crooks - March 4, 2013 - 1:39 pm

Vin = yummy!

Tara Crooks - March 4, 2013 - 1:39 pm

I almost said my fav word was nutmeat just to make you laugh…:

Janet McIntosh - March 4, 2013 - 9:45 pm

I have not seen it because I heard it was his worst movie and I couldn’t stand to see him with hair on his head, LOL.

Janet McIntosh - March 4, 2013 - 9:47 pm

I called it on animated movie too – Brave won as I predicted!! CLAN MCINTOSH!! LOL :)

Starlett Henderson - March 5, 2013 - 1:06 pm

I’ll let you know what I think.

Should Old Acquaintances Be Forgot? Heck Not!

I love Robert Burns. (The link is to a blog I wrote about another Robert Burns poem I love.) I don’t know if I ever knew that he was noted for writing Auld Lang Syne, which always seemed to be a confusing song to me. Catchy tune but a confusing song if you don’t stop…

A Few of My Favorite Things

Favorite Things. Oprah has them. Julie Andrews–or “Maria” rather–has them. You could probably name a few of hers by heart. ….Brown paper packages tied up with strings.. ..Silver white winters that melt into springs…. I found lists in magazines like More and Seventeen, on sites like Pinterest, and I’m pretty sure Amazon Listmania lists qualify….

I forgot to add Woodstock wind chimes, dimmer switches, Pampered Chef’s smooth edge can opener, and those beautiful Galileo thermometers. But I think that’s it, all my favorite things.
