Five Question Friday

So glad to be back and joining in again!  Head on over to My Little Life to read some great answers to her 5 Question Friday!  

1. Who mows your grass?  We have a lawn service since I am severely allergic to grass and The Hubby isn't always home. 

2. Do you have a picture wall or picture gallery in your house (show us! <--- my addition to the question)?  We did until we painted.  We were just about to hang everything up when we found out we were moving so now I have to wait until we get all settled to enjoy them again.  :(  

3. What book has influenced your thinking the most? Or, what blog? (I want to read what gets people thinking!)  I read for fun really.  I like murder mystery so I don't think anyone wants those inspiring me to do much!  As far as blogs?  I like reading CleanMama to give me ideas on cleaning.  She has so many ways to make cleaning go faster which with kids is a bonus!  

4. Do you have allergies? If so, how do you handle it this time of year? Yep horrible ones!  My main allergy is to grass, trees, & weeds so yep I am miserable right now!  The Rx med I was taking is not made anymore so I swapped to another one and so far so good.  I am also allergic to fruits but those I just avoid eating.  :) 

5. What's your go to meal to cook in an hurry? HMM Spaghetti or BBQ beef cups.  Those are some of the favorites around here that are quick to make.

Have a great weekend!  

5 Question Friday

Its Friday!  Oh wait that means I have to have another yard sale.  This will be my 4th and last for the Summer and I will resume in the Fall with all the winter stuff.  Well since its Friday that means its time for 5 Question Friday with Mama M!!  Head on over and read some other wonderful bloggers answers.

1. What do you think makes a good friend, or friendship? Someone who is willing to listen to you complain, vent, cry, etc without expecting something in return.  Someone you can be yourself with and not worry they are going to think bad of you for not dressing to the nines everyday, having your house spotless, or anything else.  I love the friends I do have b/c they could care less who or what I am as long as I am there for them when they need it and when they dont.


2. What is the last thing you bought & later regretted?  Nothing big really but I guess it would be the last case of coke I bought.  I am trying really hard to limit the drinks I have but they just keep calling my name!  I have lowered it from an ungodly amount down to around 2 per day (some days) so we are making some progress!

3. Have you ever had a prank played on you? Pranks..hmmm.  The only thing I can think of is the time Daddy came up behind me and scared the bejeezus out of me.  I was in the laundry room and he came up behind me and screamed BOO.  I literally turned around and blacked out for a second it scared me so much!  Guess I wouldnt be much good if someone broke into my house..haha!

4. What is your favorite theme park?  I have only been to Disney World and that was when I was around the age of 6-8.  I do remember I loved every minute of it then so I am super excited when we get to go and take the kids!  That is our goal for next year or the year after.

5. Have you ever seen someone else give birth?  I have and it was amazing!!  One of our good friends needed someone to support her as the father was in Iraq and she asked me!  I was pregnant with "A" at the time and was due in a couple of months so it was neat to see what I hadn't been able to see during my other 2 births. 

5 Question Friday

Wait how did it get to be Friday already??  I completely missed most of this week.  Oh well if its Friday then that means its time for 5 Question Friday with Mama M over at My Little Life!! 

1. Do you have an iPhone and, if so, how do you get apps and what are your favorites?  Nope no Iphone for me!  I am now a Crackberry Blackberry user now.


2. What is your fondest memory of K-3rd grade?  Probably the most vivid memory is when I found out I had chicken pox.  I was in 3rd grade and it was my very first year at a new school so yep guess who was so completely embarrassed when 1/2 the class ended up with chicken pox in the next week or so!!  If you guessed me then you were absolutely correct.  If not then well sorry can't help you there. :)


3. What makes you cringe at the thought of touching? Someones feet. I love getting a pedicure but can't imagine how those people get over touching peoples feet!   They are just overall yucky to me!


4. If you could have any celebrity show up on your doorstep who would it be and why?  Oh as of this week it would have to be Supernanny.  My kiddos need an attitude adjustment.  Hopefully they wouldnt scare her away though!  If not here then it would have to be one of those organizational gurus, who cares which one!  As long as they will organize my house I will be forever grateful.


5. What would you say is your best physical feature?  Crud I have no clue!  If I had to guess I would say my eyes.  If you had asked this a couple of years ago I would have said my legs but they have decided to revolt on me along with my rear end, stomach, hips, etc!!  Darn this getting older thing.

5 Question Friday

 
Its time for Mama M's 5 Question Friday! Head on over to My Little Life and enjoy reading others answers and/or participate yourself!

1. Take your pick...date night, girls night out, or night out alone?  Man this one is hard!  Right now I would choose a girls night out only b/c Daddy isnt here but when he is home I would definitely choose Date night!

2. Can you touch your nose with your tongue? I most certaintly can!  My girls think its funny when I do it and want to learn how.  One day I will sit down with them and teach them.  Yep there you go...I am gonna teach my kiddos the most important thing in life right??

3. What is your favorite flower and why?  I have always loved roses but I think overall the Hydrangea is my favorite.  Yes I know its more of a plant than an actual flower but they do flower and thats the part I absolutely love.  It reminds me of being at my Papaw's house in the summer after being at the country club all day.  One day I will have some in my garden/backyard!

4. If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself?  Don't sweat the small stuff.  I am working on that very thing right now b/c I let the smallest of things get to me and make a great day into a bad day in a second.  For instance I had one of those days Wed night so I went home, got kids in bed, went to sleep and started Thurs off brand new!  Its working so good so far and I am going to keep up with it.

5. If you won the lottery, what is the very first thing you would do?  You do mean after I scream, jump up and down and then faint right?  You do?  Oh good.  Well then this is what I would do.  We would pay off all of our bills.  If we are in our current house we will sell it and move into one more accomidating. If we are in a different house then we will just pay it off.  After that we will invest a good bit but also help his family out where we can.  We also want to put some into an interest bearing account.  Can you tell we have talked about this a whole lot yet we dont buy lottery tickets..haha!

5 Question Friday

 

1. What is your worst memory of your siblings? 
I would have to say when my sister and cousins would leave me in the woods out in the country knowing I hated it out there!!  I still don't like to go out in the woods at night and never will!!




2. What was YOUR naughtiest childhood memory? (Must be something YOU did, no pawning it off on someone else!) 
UGH..I have no clue!!  Sneaking out could possibly be on the list though I don't remember it.  Lying about where I was..yep I am sure that happened.  Not answering the phone b/c I knew I wasn't where I was supposed to be or definitely wouldn't make it home in time.  Yep those happened!  Take your pick. 


3. Where do you like to go to relax? 
I have found the gym!!  I just started this week and absolutely love it.  I can get on the elliptical or treadmill, turn on my music and just drown the world out.  Who cares that I am covered in sweat and my face is the color of a tomato I am in my groove and no one can bother me!!


4. What was the last thing you won? 
A pair of Delicate Soles though I wish my feet weren't so darn small and they fit :(  They are absolutely adorable and I am seriously debating contacting them and telling them to make a smaller size!


5. If you could be on a game show, which would you choose? 
OHHH I am going to go back and say Family Feud!  Nothing like a little family rivalry right??

Now head on over to My Little Life and see what others answered!

5 Question Friday

  
Ready for some fun?  Then head on over to MamaM's blog Five Crooked Halos and join in on 5 Question Friday!  There are tons of other blogs participating this week so go ahead and read away!

1. What was the first car you owned? Pontiac Grand Am that was this odd pink champagne color inside and out!! We wont go into how many people I could fit in that car so as to not incriminate myself :) It was my first car so I loved it no matter what though my absolute favorite car was my red Honda DelSol.  I still miss and love that car! 


2. What song are you embarrassed to know the lyrics to? Umm...Baby Got Back, Ice Ice Baby, there are just too many to count :)  I also know all the lyrics to most preschool shows like Dora, Diego, Franklin, Backyardigans, etc!  Yep pretty sad huh???


3. Have you ever had stitches? Only the ones from having my wisdom teeth cut out.  I have been lucky so far to avoid them and hope my luck keeps on going.


4. What was your first job?  I worked for Piercing Pagoda in the mall.  It was pretty darn fun.  I love people watching so being in a Kiosk it was the perfect opportunity.  The only thing that stunk was having to run into another store to use their bathroom.


5. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character?  Cookie Monster!  I love me some cookies and can definitely relate to him in that aspect. Being big and blue?  Not so much!

5 Question Friday

1. What words do you use on your blog/online that you don't use in real life?  HMM..You know I don't think there are any!  I try to stay as true to my speech in my typing as possible.  As I say it in my head it gets typed onto here!


2. Do you still write checks?  Unfortunately!  The only place we regularly write them is to "M's" dance.  Its much easier to keep up with the hoards of money we pay them each month if we write a check and not use the good ol' debit card!


3. Who was your favorite President and why?  I think I will plead the 5th!

4. Are you a yeller?  Yes unfortunately.  I try extremely hard but as you can imagine with all 4 kiddos going at once sometimes I have to yell to get my point across or even over them.

5. Have you ever dumpster dived?  True dumpster diving?  No but I did grab a bookshelf from someones front yard since they were going to throw it away.  Hey all it needed needs is some TLC.  One day I may just get around to it!

Five Question Friday

Another round of Five Question Friday by MamaM!!!

1. Have you ever had a celeb sighting?
  HMM Nope can't say I have :(  Though being from Alabama I would really expect to.  Now that I live in TN I thought maybe one day I would see someone but that day has yet to come. 

2. What temperature do you keep your house?
  Around 70-72 during the day and 68 at night.  I love snuggling up under the covers and getting warm!

3. Do you notice dust at other peoples homes?
I do but only if its really, really bad! 

4. What's the worst job you ever had?
I can't think of a job that was the worst so I will just share the best job!  I was working in a book store in the mall and that is where I met Daddy!!  What better job could you ask for??

5. What is your most sentimental possession?
I think it would be a tie between my earrings Daddy got me during his first deployment (I never take them off) and my Mamaw's amethyst ring that I adored when I was young and received many years after she passed away.
