Friday!

Hello Friday! So nice of you to join us again!!





1. Have you ever had surgery? Nope.
2. Ever ride in an ambulance?Uh uh.
3. How are you in a medical emergency? Panicked? Calm? I've never really been in a medical emergency. I'm sure while deep down I'd like to panic, I could probably find the calm during the chaos.
4. Do you have a garden? Flowers or veggies? No. Sadly.
5. When did you move out of your parents house? I was 20 years old when I moved out.

It's Friiiidaaaay

 

1. Do you know what your REAL hair color is? 

I do. That would be red. It has always been red. And I kinda love it. 

My sister on the left, me on the right.

 2. Do you plan ahead for summer, or fly by the seat of your pants?

We do not plan ahead for summer. Ever. 

 

3. What is your favorite meal to cook?

Taco's. But they're really burrito's. It's my fav because the E.N.T.I.R.E family loves it and usually has seconds. 

 

4. Do you get offended by not receiving thank yous?

Nope, not usually.

 

5. How did you meet your best friend?

I first met her at church. She got me into MOPS. She rocks! 

 

Friday blog hop

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love? Ha...online, well...sort of. I had been in a relationship where my boyfriend had left me in a financial mess. So I was staying with a friend. She had a friend on her IM list that she talked to often. And we got introduced online. Romantic right? LOL Well, eventually, he and I got to know one another better and eventually he came to visit. We hit it off and I made the move from Indiana to the state of Washington a few months later. We met online in March, met in person in September and I moved in November. 2006

2. What is your favorite room in your house? I don't have a favorite room, really. I'm not in love with the house we are renting. Although, I was when we first moved in. Now, not so much. My answer here by default would have to be the living room. It holds the tv and my computer. This is where we play games together. And where my kids play.

3. Can you wiggle your ears? Yes, can you?

4. What is your evening ritual? I don't have an evening ritual. I am so far from having a routine that it's not funny. I would love more than anything to just one day be in a great, working routine. But, I admit, I am the most un routined person ever. Ritual falls into the category of routine for me.

5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function? I love to sleep, probably why there will never be a functioning routine in my house. I don't wake the kids (except for school) at a specific time, I let them sleep. And I am the same. I usually sleep about 6 hours or so but my body wants to sleep double that amount. And I love to let my body get that much except that it actually makes me grouchy and my day doesn't go as smoothly as it does if I get up after 6 hours. 

 

 

 

Friday Bouncing

Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them. ~John Shirley

Boy isn't that the truth! We always look forward to the weekend but it never does last long enough!

Okay, so on we go to the Friday fun! First up is Five question Friday.


1. What is your current favorite book and why? As of now, I am not reading anything. Truth be told, I haven't read anything in quite some time. The last books I had were the Twilight Series and well, since I'm already being honest, those were the ebooks so...it was cheating...does that count?


2. Do you go to the dentist regularly?Yeah.....well, um....No. You see, I don't have the best excuse. Okay, okay you got me....I don't have an excuse.

3. What is your worst memory from high school? I don't really have a bad memory from high school. Apparently I didn't have a traumatic experience or I'd have remembered it right? I guess my answer to this one (simply because I don't want the headache nor do I have the time to think hard and long on this) is going to have to be that I was quiet and shy. I never tried out for sports or clubs. I wish now that I had though.


4. What do you hope to be remembered for in your life? Gee, this one isn't the easiest either. I want to be remembered as a good mother & wife. Someone who loves her family but doesn't give a crap what people think of me. Contradicting? Eh, well. While I want people to like me, I will not go out of my way to make them like me. Take me as I am. You don't HAVE to like me. And I don't HAVE to like you.

5. Are you superstitious or do you have any superstitions? (I feel like I have recently answered this question on the blog...) I used to be superstitious. But not anymore. I don't like when a mirror breaks, but really, who wants to clean up all that mess??

And now I will tell you about the five things that I am most thankful for from this week. Which means it is time for Friday's fave Five. You can link up on Susanne's page.

Don't you just love this cool, wintery photo?

1. First thing on my list this week-car wash! The crows/black birds here have gone NUTS on our van! My poor kid yesterday was embarrassed when I dropped her off at the bus stop. Everyone made fun of her...even though it was beyond her control. Cruel kids!

2. Blog friends. There are people here that I have never met face to face but you are all so wonderful! The stress relief of this blog has been wonderful!

3. Another thing that has helped me curb my stress and keep my mind-dr. pepper. Some people drink liquor, some have their crack addictions, some smoke. Me, I need dr. pepper. Got.to.have.it!

4. Chocolate-see number three for reasons

5. My husband. He makes my list many times, however, this week when I wasn't feeling so hot he left work to come take care of our son. I still don't feel up to par. But feel better definitely. And guess what? He called into work sick today! Poor guy has been sick all morning!

Hope you all have a fabulous Friday!

Five Question Friday

A week til Christmas! Can you believe it?!?! Has it flown by quickly for any of you like it seems to have flown by here?? Woweee!

1. Do you regift...and if so, do you have a regifting horror story? I have never regifted...just don't see myself much as a regifter. However, I suppose with just the right WRONG gift it could be a possibility. :p

2. Do you know what you are getting for Christmas this year? I have no idea. My husband has asked me several times and each time I tell him what I want. Thing is, each time, it's a different response. I know, how horrible of me. LOL I just want him to be able to LET THE KIDS DECIDE. If I get a marble, well then, I get a marble! At least they picked it out! :) But I figure if I give him many, many responses then they still have to make a decision. :) Make them (and when I say them I mean HIM) make a decision! (Yes, yes, again, horrible of me!)

3. Who brings the most gifts in your family, you or Santa? Usually me. But this year there are several Santa's that have contributed to my wee little ones for Christmas. I'm so excited! They are pretty much getting everything they want this year! Except for a guitar...not ready to go down that road just yet, need some more discipline before we do that one!

4. What store do you love to buy jeans from? Sadly, Walmart. Simply because they are so dag goned cheap! If I could afford to buy nice, well built jeans, I certainly would! You know what I would LOVE to have? THESE!! Do those not look like the most comfortable things ever?? Hey, I'm all about comfort!

5. Christmas meal: Big, All Out Meal or Snacks and Apps? We usually do about the same as what we make for Thanksgiving. Only, Thanksgiving turkey is served, Christmas is ham. (I love me some ham!! Yum Yum!)
