Musing Mondays is hosted by MizB at Should be Reading.
This week’s musing, courtesy of http://collettaskitchensink.blogspot.com, asks…
Do you snack while you read? If so, what is your favorite reading snack?
Sometimes. Usually I keep a Dr. Pepper handy. (Never would have guessed that would you? 
) Other than that, I’ll snack on some chips, candy, cereal or anything of that nature. I don’t always do it though. Only when I feel that I need a little something.

1. As a blogger, what do you draw inspirations from for your posts?
I participate in a lot of memes. Other than that, it can come from anything. Family, friends, furbabies, weather, life events, etc.
2. If you could swap blogs with another blogger for a post, who would you switch with and why?
I wouldn’t switch with anyone. This is MY blog for a reason. I’m not above guest posting though.
3. If your blog had a theme song, what would it be? Why?
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun because that’s what I’m doing. I’m having fun!
4. What is your writing process for a post?
I get an idea and I just write. Then I save a draft and come back in a day or so to reread and edit it as necessary. I do this until I’m satisfied with it.
5. Your blog requires a cute, new, mascot – what would it be?
Me with a Dr. Pepper.
6. Do you feel you express your “true self” on your blog?
Sure. I write what I feel and think.
7. What is your biggest online pet-peeve?
WRITING LIKE THIS.
8. If you could live in a fictional universe, where would you live? Why?
Hmm…I’m going to have to think about that one.
9. You’re having a bad day, you’re upset, you’re angry, or you’re sad – what is your go-to comfort?
Upbeat music.
10. What is your favorite inspirational quote?
I have several. Here are a few:
To get something you’ve never had you have to do something you’ve never done.
If you don’t like something, change it.
Never apologize for saying what you feel because it’s like apologizing for being real.
I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.
Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.
11. If they were to make a movie based on your life, who would play you, your leading lady/man, your best friend, and your rival?
Julia Roberts would play me. Johnny Depp would play my leading man. Jennifer Aniston would play my best friend. Brittany Murphy would play my rival.
12. Do you think the world is going to end in 2012?
No.
13. If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
Physically I would change my weight. Mentally I would change my motivation and procrastination.
14. What is your favorite season and why?
Summer because I love the warm weather, sunshine and all that it entails.
15. You’ve been bitten by a vampire. Would you fight it with all your undead being or would you embrace it for all it is worth?
Embrace it for all it is worth. What’s done is done and you can’t change it.
16. Have you personally met any of your blogger friends?
No but I would love to.
17. What does your favorite pair of underwear look like?
I don’t really have a favorite. I love them all!

Happy. It’s how I would like to constantly be.

Nothing that I can think of right now. I’m just getting started so we’ll see what happens.
Welcome to this week’s Friday 5! The Friday 5 is hosted by scrivener from www.f.riday5.com. Each week we gather to answer five questions about a topic. Come join the fun!
This week’s topic is: Awards.
The Golden Globe nominations were announced this week. Although these questions are irrelevant to the matter, we thought we would have some fun with them.
1. What wins your award for Best Supporting Household Appliance?
The winner for Best Supporting Household Appliance would have to be the blender. It can make a great pina colada or whip up a strawberry smoothie in no time.
2. What wins your award for Outstanding Performance by Something that Comes in a Bottle or Can?
Outstanding Performance by Something that Comes in a Bottle or Can would have to go to Dr. Pepper. (What did you think I was going to say? )
3. Who wins your award for Excellence in Poor Timing?
The award for Excellence in Poor Timing goes to my manager. She schedules meetings with a day’s notice not to mention she’s very hard to get ahold of..
4. What wins your award for Wardrobe Newcomer of the Year?
Wardrobe Newcomer of the year is awarded to no one. I’m not that big on trends.
5. What wins your award for Outstanding Achievement in Stealing Time?
The computer is definitely the winner of the Outstanding Achievement in Stealing Time. I can be on it for hours without even realizing it.
(bonus question!) The American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences calls its trophy the Oscar. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences calls its trophy the Grammy. What do you call yours?
The Charismas.
