TashaSita's Friday Five! - The 'What If' Edition - TASHASITA's Purple Wedding by Color Blog

ooh I love this1. I love tigers but I'd have to say a house cat lol.....I'd love to just be cuddled and petted all day or curle up in a ball in front of the fire....the self cleaning is a bit of a turn off though lol

2. I have no idea lol

3. FH dreams about this alot...we'd give some to our family and close friends. Buy a house and car or two lol. I'd also give some to charity, probably Wildlife Warriors. I'd love to travel...Okay so we have alot planned along with saving it lol

4. I have one already which is the Red Hot Chili Peppers symbol * which means chaos lol and the next one I want is my Daughters name and any future kiddies names

5. I started writting a book a few years ago but never finished it. It was about a 20 something girl who was dying and wishing she had taken the time out to just sit on a park bench and watch the world. Watching everyone rushing through there lives and not slowing down and appreciating what we have......

It was a mix of flash backs to her good times and bad, the present and her picturing her self sitting on that park bench and taking time to view the world

If that kinda makes sense.

Ok here we go. 1. I would be a Liger(Lion & Tiger). They are bigger and badder then all other cats.

2. HASH. Named after my dad and mom(Harry And Shirley Holt).

3. Take care of my immediate family and set up a college scholarship for our school district.

4. A heart with my children's initials in it (ADAB) which also means man of honor(I have 4 boys).

5. I would write a book about my family's history. So that my children and my neices and nephews would see and know all of our rich history.

Ileigha, almost picked a house cat for those same reasons. But I have a serious temper and that seemed too tame lol. Never heard of Wildlife Warriors. Is it local to you? I like that your tattoo means chaos, too cool. That book sounds profound and beautiful. I hope you finish it one day, would love to read it! Makes perfect sense!!

Lynnie, omg I Lol'd like crazy. In Starbucks! Ligers are amazing!! Sick choice!!! :) that's a great yacht name and your parents sound like they should be millionaire oil tycoons or something with those names! Amazing lottery goals. I love it. Your tattoo is FANTASTIC! Now that's a tattoo I would get. So awesomely symbolic! What an awesome idea on the family history!

I always look forward to these :). That's super cool about your grandparents. Sometimes you just know it's meant to be. Awesome ideas about the charity. People like you should be the ones winning the big bucks because you'll know how to spend it. Your current project sounds really interesting!

1) If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?
A butterfly. Free, curious, playful, and ability to change.

2) If you had a yacht given to you, what would you name it?
It's not that creative but probably C2.

3) If you won a lottery - let's say $20 million (US dollars for argument's sake lol) what would you do with it?
Definitely give some to family and charity. I would buy a home and I'd put a steam room in it. I went to a hotel once with a eucalyptus steam room and it was awesome. I would also donate funds to the schools I've been to for student scholarships.

4) If you had to get a tattoo, what would it be of? If you have one, tell us its significance and why you chose it or tell us the next one
I have a tattoo already of a butterfly on my low back at the side. I just think butterflies are beautiful creatures and I think it's neat that they start as caterpillars but end up being able to fly.

5) If you could write a book (maybe you will), what would it be about?
I would like to tell my life story. I think I've had a really interesting life so far, with lots of ups and downs, but maybe something to help others persevere in life.

TashaSita's Friday Five!
The 'What If' Edition
Ok girls, dreaming and thinking big today! It's the What If edition!

1) If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?
Umm i'd say a dolphin because I could hang out at any beach I wanted all day and don't really have any predators lol

2) If you had a yacht given to you, what would you name it?
Louise after my grandmother who is no longer with us

3) If you won a lottery - let's say $20 million (US dollars for argument's sake lol) what would you do with it?
pay of my parents and grandfathers house, buy a condo for the future in-laws (they dont want a house lol FH dad and mowing lawns would not work lol) buy a huge lot of land and build a house for me and my siblings and a few closest friends, so you never have to worry about bad neighbors and my baby (aka my boxer Emmitt lol) would have lots of room to run, I would travel, and donate money to the cancer society in my grandmothers name or if it is only a few million(no clue how much stuff like that costs!) buy a new wing in her name at the hospital , and travel the world for a year there are so many places and things I want to see , even more now thanks to stupid Ali on the bachelorette lmao

4) If you had to get a tattoo, what would it be of? If you have one, tell us its significance and why you chose it or tell us the next one
I have a butterfly tattoo on my ankle, no real signifigance I got it when I was 18 my friend has the same one just a different colour we got them together, I was just trying to think of what I would not regret when I was 80 lol I do want to add my grandmothers name to it though
5) If you could write a book (maybe you will), what would it be about?
I would love to be able to write an amazing love story like nicholas sparks , I have cried multiple times with each of his books and to be able to write something that touches people enough to make them cry would be great

Christa, I always love your answers :) My grandparents were really ahead of their time and culture. My grandma in India in the 20s was protesting arranged marriages lol. They fascinate me, the two of them. She was comforted by his name and his face. She said he had goodness in his face. She however HATED his clothes lolol. I never got a chance to ask him but I think he dressed badly that day on purpose from what I hear to see if she'd like him anyway. They were perfect for each other :)

Onto your responses, Beautiful animal choice and explanation. Your yacht name is perfect not boring. Actually thinking about it now, when I read how you and Chris met, masks and all, I was reminded of my grandparents. :) I remember that. :) Anyway, awesome on the steam room! That sounds fab! What hotel was that?! Wowee! And love the scholarships! Butterflies are very cool and the origin is totally fascinating. Maybe I'll use that as an excuse for my awkward childhood years, I was only a caterpillar ( I had the worst hair/fashion/awkward phase in general lol ) . I would love to read your life story. Biographies are def my thing, they totally inspire me! I hope you do it :)

1) If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?---I WOULD WANT TO BE A CAT BECAUSE I AM FIERCE LIKE ONE! AND PRETTY CRAFTY!! HEHE
2) If you had a yacht given to you, what would you name it? HRVATSKI PRINCEZA (means croatian princess =o)
3) If you won a lottery - let's say $20 million (US dollars for argument's sake lol) what would you do with it? PLASTIC SURGERY...SHARE WITH MY FAMILY... HELP ANIMALS I NEED.
4) If you had to get a tattoo, what would it be of? If you have one, tell us its significance and why you chose it or tell us the next one I HAVE A ONE OF MY TWIN AND I'S INTIALS,,, WE BOTH HAVE THE SAME TATOOS... =O)
5) If you could write a book (maybe you will), what would it be about? A GIRL WHO MOVED FROM NYC TO PHILLY TO BE BY HER FIANCE...AND GO ON ABOUT HOW MUCH PHILLY SUCKS!!!!! AND SHE IS DOING EVERTHING TO TRANSFER BACK UP THERE AND HER FIANCE TO ALSO!

1) A wild horse, they are so majestic and free spirited and persevere on their own through elements and challenges, they fascinate me.

2) Invictus as per the poem by William Ernest Henley, "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul" those lines have been a rock in my life.

3) I would love to travel world wide, not all at once but a couple trips a year, and invest in my own business perhaps, take care of family debts and naturally save what we don't need to spend.

4) I've been thinking of getting a small Celtic knot heart, sweet and simple, most likely by my wrist, I want to be able to see it if I get one, but I'm also undecided and its kind of permanent so I probably won't be getting it, I do have a black butterfly silhouette over my ankle I got after high school graduation because I felt like I was finally free and transformed

5) Currently working on a medieval-esque romance about a nobles daughter who is betrothed to a prince but loves one of the serving boys. All the while there is an impending war, her father is ill and brother is murdered, this has been my baby for the past year and sits at around 500 pages as is, but I'm constantly rewriting and adding to it.

Loving all the answers,this is a great post yet again!

That's hilarious that she hated his clothes :). I'm glad that she saw past it. Your grandma sounds like a great role model. I'm glad that Chris saw past the SARS masks and gowns too :).

The hotel was in Banff, Alberta. I forget the name now but it was amazing!

I think we are all caterpillars when we are young that fly off as butterflies and become independent :). Oh my gosh, you should see what I wore as a younging. I had bangs for the longest time too, but not the pretty side-sweep kind. And I wore turtlenecks and vests. So not cool.

1) probably a Persian cat. I adore to sleep, and would do it 15 hours a day if my conscience would allow it. I get snarky if I feel things aren't going my way, but I'm also very affectionate and love snuggles. And I spend hours on my hair :P

2) Bigred. It's weird nickname my husband and I have picked up as a couple, lol.

3) Hmm, there is alot we would do with 20 mil. Buy a nice house somewhere rural, looking over a lake, nothing extravagent, just nice.
Pay off his dad's debt, do something nice for my family. Then whatever is left over we would probably put half in savings and the other half to a charity we both work with alot.

4) No idea about a tattoo, I've never even thought about getting one before... but it would probably be something representing my heritage. A star of David maybe. (but only if someone held a gun to my head :P)

5) I actually have a little book I have been very very very slowly working on. A coffee table type thing, cute little stories about the animals I work with.

1. I would say a lioness too lol only because I LOVE all cats. If not a lioness, a tabby cat, because that was my first cat and she was my "Roll Dog" lol

2. mmmm... probably Angel Wing. I would HOPE the yacht made me feel like I was in heaven and floated on water like I was floating on air :-)

3. FIRST...Tithe & give offerings! Knowing first and foremost who gave me that money :-) Throw some in savings, stash for my little girl's future, pay off my mom's debts, buy a house, two cars (one family, one fun), give to SPCA, Domestic Violence shelters & children shelters/schools, give back to my alma mater (NSU, Go Spartans!), and travel the world with my family (you only live once)!

4. A barcode and underneath it would say "Made in Japan" since that's where I was born lol

5. My book would probably be about relationships. I've been through it ALL! Since I came out on top, I'd like to help others do the same.

) If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?
I would be my Zodiac sign, a Lion because it is the fiercest cat but is really so cute, with the wild mane!!!!!

2) If you had a yacht given to you, what would you name it?
I would name my yacht - The Assassin because fh calls himself that all the time, lol.

3) If you won a lottery - let's say $20 million (US dollars for argument's sake lol) what would you do with it?
I would open a shelter for battered women and children. My heart really goes out to people that are and have been abused.

4) If you had to get a tattoo, what would it be of? If you have one, tell us its significance and why you chose it or tell us the next one
I have one tramp stamp and it is of a dripping strawberry, I don't think I need to explain that one, lol.

5) If you could write a book (maybe you will), what would it be about?

My book would be about a young girl, growing up and gaining her prince, I know it's been done before, but my story would have a lot of twists.

I love your ideas Tashasita, always getting us thinking:
1... some kind of bird, youve heard of crazy cat ladies.... I'll be the crazy bird lady... I already have 4!

2. hummmm? maybe just $$$$$ or something silly like that

3. yes charity, a woman's shelter, because Ive lived in one yrs ago.... and a food bank type place.

4. My daughter lost a baby to miscarrage, been thinking of a babies footprint with angle wings

5. I have been writing children stories for years... read to children but never tryed to have them published, so thinking of looking into that.

sorry my age is showing ... whats a tramp stamp??

I love this! And I love your story about your grandparents. They sound amazing. I love stories like that. It really makes you believe in true love.

These are hard questions this week. haha.

1) If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?
hmm...IDK, probably something that gets to lie around all day and cuddle. Like a puppy or a cat or something.

2) If you had a yacht given to you, what would you name it?
I would want to name it something meaningful but I'm not sure what that would be.

3) If you won a lottery - let's say $20 million (US dollars for argument's sake lol) what would you do with it?
I would donate a lot. I would pay of all my debt and my family's debts. I would buy a house and a nice car. Take people on a shopping spree. Save a lot. The usual.

4) If you had to get a tattoo, what would it be of? If you have one, tell us its significance and why you chose it or tell us the next one
I have 2 tattoos. The first one is stars on my hip that I got when I was 18. It doesn't have much significance. I just love stars. The 2nd one is a daisy and a sunflower on my left side. The daisy for my grandmother and the sunflower for my mom. My mom and I were downtown one day and she was like, Lets go get a tattoo. So we did. lol. She got the same sunflower I did on her back. And the first one I got I went with my mom and my grandmother and we all got one. :) I do want another one too, something on the side of my foot. A really pretty script word, I'm just not sure what word.

5) If you could write a book (maybe you will), what would it be about?
I would love to write a children's book. I'm not sure what I would write one about though. I love alphabet books and the information books, maybe I could do something like that. :)

Thanks tashasita, Wildlife worriers is Steve Irwins (you know the crocodile hunter???) fund....we're both big on animals : )

I'd also like to give some to the people trying to stop the Japanese whaling ships

Fun!

1) If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?
A dog. I am such a dog person! Specifically, I would be a Golden Retriever mutt. (There's a reason we adopt from a GR Rescue!)
2) If you had a yacht given to you, what would you name it?
Something simple, like... uh... Jenny. :) I don't know. How 'bout Cantaloop? (I'm listening to that right now.) Or I'd be clever and spell something backwards...
3) If you won a lottery - let's say $20 million (US dollars for argument's sake lol) what would you do with it?
Same as you - support family and pay off debts, a shopping spree/spa day, and then most to charity. Keep enough to enhance my lifestyle, but not totally change it.
4) If you had to get a tattoo, what would it be of? If you have one, tell us its significance and why you chose it or tell us the next one.
None yet, but plan on incorporating my, Nate's, and our kid's initials into a tattoo on the top of my foot someday.
5) If you could write a book (maybe you will), what would it be about?
I wrote one (well, Nate came up with the story, I just added the dialogue) about a penguin that can't swim. Nate just needs to sketch a couple of pages and submit it to his publisher, and we'll see where it goes from there!

Tash, your book sounds like it would be a GREAT read!

1) If you were an animal, which one would you be and why? First of all I am so protective over my friends and especially my family!! Love that! I would be a monkey for sure. I'm already hairy like one so I would fit right into the kingdom and I love that they eat, pick each other (i pick at matt's skin all day- he hates it) and they poop...now thats a good life.

2) If you had a yacht given to you, what would you name it? I would name it "For Sale" ...hate boats, hate the feeling of being "stranded" in the middle of a body of water. I need an escape route. ha!

3) If you won a lottery - let's say $20 million (US dollars for argument's sake lol) what would you do with it? Ahhh, the dream question all couples debate (we do this too Tash)...We would tithe 10% off the top, charity for sure!, buy my mama a house, buy Matt's family a house, take care of sis, buy ourselves a house, and save the rest, travel, retire, move everyone close together.

4) If you had to get a tattoo, what would it be of? If you have one, tell us its significance and why you chose it or tell us the next one. I have one. One of my regrets in life :) I got it on a whim (SP?) when I was 17 and now I wonder why it's even there. I am in so much denial about it that I literally don't see it. For real. If I'm loooking at my back I never see the tattoo. Then every once in a while I go check to see if it's still there. lol! It's bizarre. I don't hate what it is, just where it is and why it's there. I have a cross with a rose in the middle and vines around it. I had to have it after Rachel from The Real World San Francisco did hers on the show. LMAO!! No joke. I was young and impressionable. I love Jesus but I have a huge crucific on my lower back...hmmmm.

5) If you could write a book (maybe you will), what would it be about? I have about 5 chapters complete! I am writing a memoir. It will be about my journey from darkness into victory and all that happened in between :)

sorry the teacher in me is so anal! that would be "crucifix" not whatever I wrote above.

1. I'd probably be an ant. Hardworking, low key...saving up for the 'winter' lol
2. I think I'd name her Virginia Helen after my two grandmothers. Plus it sounds elegant.
3. I'd definitely do some awesome traveling with my family. Pay off debts. Buy a house here, and three in Mexico. Then I'd probably put the rest into a microfinance nonprofit, like you, Tasha!
4. I don't have any yet. I'd probably get a jumping koi or a lotus on my wrist. Symbols of overcoming difficulty.
5. I think one day I'd like to write a book about Luis and I's immigration journey. It's been such an ordeal and I think our kids/grandkids/etc. should know about it!

nandd2011, I'm half surprised that neither of us said penguin lolol. I love your answers, naming it after your grandma and your lottery plans sound awesome! Love dolphins and Nicholas Sparks books both! Excellent choices!! :0)

jennyl1211, LOL. I didn't like Philly too much either when I almost moved there.. but I found little things I liked - King of Prussia mall and South St. shopping for one. LOL. Love the Cat answer and cool yacht name!

dahliadarling - wicked answers. LOVE the yacht name - that rocks! The wild horse explanation - so nice! And WOW on the book - that sounds incredibly interesting!

Christa, agree on the caterpillar-butterfly transition. If I can find pics to prove the prolonged awkward phase, I will totally post! H_I_L_A_R_I_O_U_S!

kristah, Persian Cats - great choice. Just like nesting Queens :) Great yacht name, esp if it's you two :) Love the lotto plan, the house sounds uber relaxing and serene, Mark would love something like that too I'm sure. I know what you mean on the tattoo.. Book sounds great too. Didn't know there were so many aspiring authors on WBC. Glad I asked!

mstpayn3, I love the yacht name! Def what you want to feel on water. LOL @ Roll Dog. Amazing lotto plan and charitable/giving plans. :) I def hope you win, you'll do so much good! WICKED tattoo idea, I really like that. I'm sure your relationship book would be a hit, so many people can relate to the ups and downs.

iluvbooze, agree on the lion and the mane :) LOL @ the Assassin. Mark sometimes calls himself Spartacus LOLOL. I wouldn't give him the glory though lol. Love the lotto idea, and the education and resources for that cause is so important. Reminded me of that cause actually, would love to build a safe house or something as well as an education/job search facility for women who have left abusive situations. SO many stay for lack of anything to fall back on and support themselves.

3rdtimebride, LOL @ crazy bird lady and the yacht name. I love the tattoo idea, and the kids books! I am writing one myself right now :)
Also, I plead ignorant on the tramp stamp thing too - i have NO idea what that is lol

Brittany, yeah they are a supreme example of commitment and true love. Amazing story and people. Like the alphabet books :) Love all your ideas, hope you write one! Very cool on the fact that there were the three of you with tattoos - that's super symbolic, I like.

ileigha, I hear you on the whaling ships. Watching Whale Wars makes me insane!

Banana, LOVE GRs. Such awesome puppies! LOL @ Cantaloop, I like that! HA HA. You said it perfectly - enhance your life, not totally change it. Perfect. Love the tattoo idea, family is everything :) I LOVE PENGUINS, I can't wait to read your book when it's published :)

Nidu, LMAO @ monkey and your description. You kill me! AND @ For Sale - OMG you're hilarious today! Moving everyone closer together sounds wonderful, would def do that too. Young and impressionable, we have all done crazy stuff. You are a fantastic woman and regardless of anything you wish maybe you hadn't done, all your decisions teach you something right? Plus, I think it's understood that you mean no disrespect by that. Mark actually has a cross and a rose vine - for his grandma who is very religious and loves roses. It can also be a tribute out of love, not disrespect. Your heart is well known girl! Your book sounds awesome. Would love to read/hear that story. You already inspire me :)

Julie, awesome answers. Ant is fab explanation! I love the yacht name, grandmas are awesome :) Isn't microfinance great? I love the concept! Three houses in Mexico! WOWEE! I love the book idea, and they should def know where you guys came from, what you've been through. I like the tattoo idea too of overcoming difficulty. Cool symbolism there too!

Great great answers girls. These are some of my fave answers ever in Friday Fives!

LOL I know! I love penguins but I do not like the cold and having to walk 20 miles in a crazy snow storm to get fish to then throw up for my child does not sound appealing ha ha ha

EXACTLY!!! Love them but just couldn't be them lol.
