Stocking Stuffer Swaps

I had to make this blog post today! I totally love all the stocking stuffer swaps at swap-bot. I've been participating all year long in every one of these swaps that I could find. Halfway through the year I ran out of room in my stocking and had to switch to a basket. I also joined two advent swaps. Actually one is of the swaps was a 12 Days of Christmas swap hosted by CraftyMommaOnABudget.

This woman is one of the best people I've "met" and has become a sweet friend of mine. 

Even though my husband and I decided not to exchange gifts this year and just focus on our sons, I will still have a wonderful Christmas morning with all the goodies from my friends. 

30 Questions

I’ve been kind a slacking on the whole blog lately so I thought it would be nice to post the answers to the latest Swap-bit electronic swap that I recently joined. There are 30 questions that we needed to answer for this swap, so here I go. Enjoy!!

Here are the questions: What bill do you hate to pay the most?   A consolidation loan that I took out over a year ago that has a high monthly payment. I feel like it sucks our bank account dry each month lol When was the last time you had a romantic dinner?  It has probably been a couple years ago to be honest. What do you really want to be doing after answering these questions? Decorate our Christmas tree!! How many colleges did you attend? Zero, I started working right out of high school. Why did you choose the shirt you have on now? It was one of the only two I took with me to my mom’s house this weekend. Thoughts on gas prices right now? Not too bad but could be better in my opinion. It’s around $2.34 a gallon here. First thought when the alarm goes off in the morning? Ten more minutes please!

Washing dishes, even with the dishwasher I still hate it. Do prefer to wake up early or sleep in? Sleep in if I was able to. Found love yet? My son is the love of my life. Favorite meal to eat for lunch? Some kind of sandwich or leftovers from dinner.  What do you get every time you go grocery shopping? Milk, eggs, bread, cheese, pizza Ocean, river or lake? Ocean. I like to walk along the ocean's edge and if I go into the water I don't get that slimy feeling like from a river or lake. hahahaha Is marriage overrated? It can be the greatest heartbreak or the best thing ever. Depends who you marry. Ever crashed your vehicle? Not personally but I’ve been in a few car crashes.

When I am playing with my son.  What was the make, model and year of the first car you owned? A chevette with rusted floor boards. Were you the type of kid you'd want your children to hang out with?
