Welcome, Friday Follow!! (Giveaway for new followers!)

Hey to all of the new and prospective followers and readers!  I am very excited that it is time for another Friday Follow!  Friday Follow is great in that I have met so many great bloggers and have seen so many great blogs that I wouldn't have found otherwise.  I have a lot of fun on Fridays. ;)

My name is Kristin, as you've probably read on my sidebar!  I'm a single mom of two little girls who are my life! Besides being a mom, which is my primary job, I am a freelance artist as well. I attended art school majoring in 2D Fine Arts and minoring in Photography.  I absolutely love any forms of art and self expression rather it being fine art, digital art, webdesign, writing and so on!  

I'm going to insert the Friday 5 questions so you can get a better view of who I am. :)

Ice Cream or Chocolate cake?  I know everyone says that chocolate is a girl's best friend, but honestly I love ice cream cake.  I'm not one to really have a sweet tooth, but when I do dive into a cake, it better be Carvel ice cream cake!! Everything about it is just DELISH!

How many hours’ sleep do you need in order to be at your best, and what’s the minimum you can get on a regular basis and still be functional?  When I was in high school, I used to be able to go an entire day on only 2-3 hours sleep.  Those were great days!  Now, however, is completely different.  I need about 8 hours to really be at my best.  I can function on 4 or 5, but I'm cranky and just not pleasant to be around. lol

What’s your favorite sleeping position? I usually sleep on my left side.  I really just sleep how I am comfortable at that time.

What was the cause of your most recent difficulty sleeping? Probably just pure insomnia.  Actually, sometimes I get so hooked on reading blogs, I don't even realize how late it's getting!

What job would you never want to have to do? I would never want to be a garbage man.  Of course, they make great money... but I just couldn't stand doing that job, personally.

How many kids do you have and what are their ages? If you don't have kids, do you think you want any down the road? If so, how many? I have two girls, Alayna who is 4.5 and Olivia who is 2.  I want two more kids.  Preferably one girl and one boy. :)  Maybe twins!

Do you have a "blankie" or a favorite stuffed animal? What is it/what does it look like? I have a favorite stuffed rabbit that I was actually going to write about this weekend!  My stuffed rabbit's name is Bunny Bunny.  I got her for my first Easter in 1985.  One of my great aunt's got it for me.  Since then, I've been so emotionally attached to her.  She used to go everywhere with me. (Including college and in the hospital when I had my kids)

What is your favorite flower?   I actually don't have one.  I think they're all beautful!  
 

I'll leave you with my Monday Mingle questions, which I just recorded yesterday! LOL.  If you want to know more about me, in my sidebar you can find a link!  Good luck on the giveaway!

Friday Questions

Out of all the concerts/plays/comedy shows/etc. that you have seen, which has been your favorite and why?  I definitely will have to say Next To Normal.  Most people do not consider it a show they want to see because of the subject matter, but this show is amazing.  I have seen the show a couple of times because it touches me so deeply and means so much to me.  The show itself really hits home because I can relate to a lot of the ups and downs.  

The show is basically about a suburban family and how they handle the everyday teenager/young adult issues, acceptance and mental illness.  Even though it sounds heavy, it really has a lot of humor to back up the drama.  Not only is the show great, but the actors are amazing too.  Especially Alice Ripley, who is someone I look up to as an actress and have for a while.  

It is definitely worth seeing the show if you're in New York or if you ever get to New York.  The show will just blow you away.

That's My Answer 

Donuts or Donut Holes?  I like the Dunkin Donuts Munchkins.

Is there anything that you are still in the dark ages in regards to? (i.e. no cellphone, no computer, no iPod, etc...?) I don't have a Tivo kind of thing and everyone thinks I am crazy because I don't have that. lol  Everything else, I'm pretty with the technology!
