5 Question Friday

Two posts in one day!  [17week baby update here in case you missed it!]  I have cleaned the house, got groceries, sat and listened to the rain, and caught up on laundry...the mister isn't home yet, so I thought I would join up with 5QF!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend...ours will be filled with having friends over for pizza, going to graduation parties, and hanging out around home! :)

1. Do you and your spouse go to bed at the same time?

Oh boy!  If you know me you know I hate it, but we don't go to bed at the same time.  I'm just not a night person as much as my husband isn't a morning person, so I usually go to bed with Murdock before 10pm and Adam comes to bed about 2-3 hours after us.  

2. A question for the ladies...What kind of facial hair do you like on your man?

I prefer a little stubble.  It's itchy at times, but I just think it's so attractive!  Adam only rocks it after a long weekend with the boys.  Otherwise it's smooth as a babys booty for him, which is okay too! :)

3. What's the worst vacation you've ever taken?

Luckily, I have taken a lot of vacations and I can't ever remember a bad one!  There is always a little something here or there, but bad weather is probably as bad as it's been, which is totally uncontrollable.  

4. What's the first-ever blog you followed?

Sadly, I have no idea.  I hardly remember getting started! :(  

5. Do you enjoy amusement parks?

Oh yes!  I love them...the whole atmosphere is just awesome!  I also enjoy carnivals/fairs!  The funnel cakes, the warm weather, the mini donuts [oh boy...do you see a theme here?!] I really like roller coasters, but not so much the spinny things!

Happy Friday!

5 Question Friday

Five Question Friday with MammaM..

I'll keep this brief because I'm hoping to to grab breakfast at Panera and then hit a Garage Sale or two.  After that errands and housecleaning before our 2nd Ultrasound!! :)

1. What is your favorite sign of spring?

Garage Sales...I just LOVE to browse...I guess this is why Adam calls me nosey! :)

2. What was your best birthday ever?

I'm not sure I could choose a 'best' birthday.  My mom was always awesome at making sure they were all wonderful!  My most 'memorable' birthday was probably my 13th.  I had a party with a friend of mine and we invited a ton of people and the DJ played music outside while we danced in the driveway.  It was hoppin'...for 13 year olds! :)

3. What is your favorite dessert?

Better than Sex Cake or Monster Cookies 

4. What is the best excuse you've ever used to get out of a ticket?

Can you believe this...I have never gotten out of a ticket!  Not to be confused with I have never got a ticket, because that could not be further than the truth! :/

5. Do you wake up before your alarm, with your alarm, or after hitting snooze several times?

I hit the snooze...approximately 3-5 times each morning! Horrible, right?!

Happy Friday everyone!


P.S. Hop out of Google Reader and check out my new header! :)

5 Question Friday

1. Can you drive a stick shift?

Yes I can...you can thank my dad for that.  He FORCED me...and I do mean forced.  'All of his girls were going to learn to drive a stick shift'  Key word here is were...as in some of us girls learned.  The other was the baby and she never had to!  Just kidding Alicia...but really it is pretty cruel that my first car was a 1992 Mazda MX3 that could have passed for a spaceship and yours was like a brand new sports car...it's okay...I'm almost over it!

2. What are two foods you just can't eat?

Oh gosh...I'm going to go categories here...

1. Fruits

2. Vegetables

YIKES right?!  I know...I'm terrible...maybe someday?  I did eat cauliflower for the first time last night.  Adam made a potato soup and it was half cauliflower.   

3. Do you buy Girl Scout Cookies? What is your favorite kind?

Well...I can never say so to a fundraiser, so yes we do.  BUT...neither of us eat them so we usually give them to our friends or, like last year, they're still sitting in the cupboard.  Yes...I just confess we have year old, unopened boxed of girl scout cookies at our house.  I buy them because my cousins sell them, but I just don't think they're that good.  They're HARD!  I don't care for hard cookies.  Now, give me a warm monster cookie and it will be gone it 3 seconds flat!

4. How do you pamper yourself?

I LOVE tanning, and I have a monthly membership, so I would say that is how I pamper myself most often.  Although I also LOVE pedicures and massages too, I just don't get them as often!

5. What is your nickname and how did you get it?

I'm getting windy over here, so I'll keep it simple.

Ab, Abner, Hun, Babe...Nothing spectacular!

Have an awesome weekend everyone!

5 Question Friday

1. If you had $1,000 to donate to a charity, which would you choose?

I would actually try to find a local family to support.  I love buying clothes or necessities for children in need.  I go back and forth about some of the larger corporations...I just worry that the money isn't being spend in the best ways.

2. Snow days: Do you welcome them happily or are they a pain in your butt?

LOVE em!  I loved them as a kid, I loved them as a nanny, and I still love a random snow day to stay in a snuggle up!

3. What talent did you wish you had and why?

I wish I could sing more than anything else!

4. Are you a news, politics or celebrity gossip junkie?

None...I'm not a TV person and I think the media portrays everything wrong anyways, so it's pretty much a waste of time.  Wow...I sound bitter.  I do glance at People once and a while, so I guess celebrity gossip if I had to pick one..

5. What is your favorite "cocktail"? (Are you a beer person, a kiddie cocktail junkie, or perhaps your more the "Cosmo" kind?! Anything flies...doesn't hafta be alcoholic!)

Hmm..a cold, can of Mt. Dew is probably my favorite thing ever!  As far as alcoholic drinks...I DO NOT link to taste alcohol, so I love Hypnotic & Pineapple juice...ghetto I know.  It's awesome though!

Alright now play along & link back to MamaM..Happy Friday!

5 Question Friday

I haven't participated in Five Question Friday for a looong time!  So here goes...

1. How long does your Christmas tree stay up?

Until the day after Christmas [or this year the Thursday before!]

2. Do you have plans for New Year's Eve?

Yes...with some very special people!

3. Do you have any New Year's resolutions?

Yes...coming out tomorrow...stay tuned!

4. How did you spend New Year's Eve when you were younger?

I usually babysat.

5. What was the best way you've ever spent New Year's Eve?

I have never done anything too extravagant.  I LOVE NYE [the new year, fresh start, just new beginnings in general] but usually end up celebrating low key.  

Of course the millennium will always be memorable since there was so much hype.  My parents took us Midnight bowling with a bunch of other people.  It was a good time for being a kid.

Happy New Year...from our family to yours!

5 Question Friday

Okay is has been waaay to long since I participated in a Friday Blog Hop so here it it...5QF with MammaM

1. What is your favorite thing about summertime?

Everything...is that cheating?!  Okay...I pick..the sunshine!

2. What is your ideal retirement location (if money didn't matter)?

On the ocean...maybe West coast?1  I always thinks it is so peaceful there!  Not positive but I have a LOT of time to decide! :)

No...I did for almost 21 years though.  I moved away 3 years ago.

I can't think of any...I know lame.  I guess I was just perfect...or maybe I just haven't kicked them yet?! :)

Hmm...It's been so long since I had a 'real job'.  I supposed the latest one was when I fell into the bathtub while attempting to give the girls a bath.  I still seriously have no idea what the hell happened.  One second I was washing their hair the next I was in the tub with them!  Pretty funny other than the 5 bruises I got!!

Yes..I would choose Special Education!
