Better Late than Never

I want to thank Webbisodes for the Preppy Mafia Award.  She notified me about two weeks ago, but I have been so wrapped up in end of the year school stuff with the kiddos I have not had time to reply- Better late than never.  I really do appreciate the award and the opportunity to think about something fun and entertaining instead of the serious stuff of work and everyday life.  Even more fun I get to pass it along to some of my favorite bloggers.


The rules:

1. Copy and paste the above image onto your blog/website.

2. Answer the questions below.

3. Pass onto bloggers that you LOVE and let them know they've been given this award.



Welcome to the Preppy Mafia! Now for a few questions, you cannot refuse.

Modern Day:  Anne Hathaway and Debra Messing
Forever icon:  Grace Kelly

2. What is your favorite Socialite lit book?
A Southern Belle Primer:  Or Why Paris Hilton/ Princess Margaret Will Never Be a Kappa Kappa Gamma

3. Favorite party theme?
Kentucky Derby- 1st weekend of May

4. Go to Halloween costume?
Not a big Halloween costumer

5. Extravagance you cannot live without?
Internet and  Choco Cherry Kiss Coffee

6.  Living person you admire?
I can't just name one, but instead must thank both of my parents.  They raised me in a Christian home and made sure I developed a work ethic.

My daddy- for instilling a powerful since of dependability in me.  He taught me to carry out my obligations.  Daddy also taught me the importance of being on time and sticking to a schedule.

My mother taught me the power of faith and prayer.  She is a prayer warrior.  Anytime I want to pray about something really important I enlist my mother.  She always told me I could do anything I put my mind to.  My mother spent endless hours making sure I had the best of everything (she never did tell my Daddy how much she was spending).  I appreciate her instilling the spirit of encouragement in me. 

My Mother always tells me I'm doing a good job as a mom.  She claims I know so much more than she did as a mother.  I don't know how this is possible.  Everything I know I learned from my parents.
7. Greatest fear?
Snakes, lizards and rodents

8. Trait you deplore in yourself?
I am a perfectionist- some people may not understand this as a deplorable trait.  I have a difficult time working w/people that don't put the same effort and time into projects, meetings, events, etc.


9. Which talent would you most like to have?
I would love to smock and knit.  I could probably do both of these things if I had the time to learn.  I would also love to learn to draw/paint.


10. Greatest Achievement?
My son and daughter
