My questions to answer: 

1. Are you an outdoorsy kind of person?

Yes. I don't get to spend as much time as I would like outdoors because I live in a city. But I was raised in the mountains where all day we were outside at the beach, playing in the forest, skiing, biking, hiking, and camping. We still go camping and when we visit my family we go to the beach. We take some short hikes but have never taken the kids backpacking, which I would really love to do. We do plan to retire on a large piece of property, just outside of the city where we would will get some snow. Tons of trails and rivers.
2. What is one thing you would tell yourself if you could go and visit yourself ten years ago? 

Enjoy life. You can never please everyone so just do what you want and live life to the fullest! Don't be afraid to be yourself.
3. What do you like about blogging and how did you get into it?

I don't know what I would do if I didn't blog. When I was looking for spanking sites, I ran across the LDD site. It was fantastic because this small group of women shared lifestyle similar to mine. And most of them blogged. I started blogging so I didn't feel like I was just an anonymous person that was kind of lurking. Having my own blog, I made so many friends and learned so much about other people, other lifestyles, and I learned that there were people who liked me for who I am and they don't try to pretend otherwise and they certainly don't make rude or snarky comments about my behind my back. I always say what I feel and think and most everything I would say I would not be shy about saying it here. Thank you to those original blog friends who encouraged me to stick around and commented on my blog posts.
4. What is the last thing you did that you were super proud of?

I invited a friend to go watch 50 Shades with me and lunch too. That is really stepping out of my comfort zone, doing things with anyone besides Ty or at least as a couple. I am a very private person. I am also very proud of myself for enrolling in college classes!
5. How is the weather outside right now?                          Beautiful spring day. Sunny with a slight chill if you are in the shade. I am wearing jeans, a T-Shirt and flip flops. Well heck, when I started working on this post it was a beautiful spring day now it is pouring rain, with thunder and lightning.

United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Austria, France, Lithuania, Germany, Russia, Australia, and Ireland. Awesome visitors, wish I could go and visit each every country that is represented.
