Five Question Friday

1.  Tube socks, calf socks, crew, ankle, none?
Well it depends!  My favorite socks to sleep in are really fuzzy and soft or some of Hubs' crew socks.  If I am wearing tennis shoes then I have on either ankle or crew.  But I love sandals and flipflops so no socks most of the time! 

2.  Was your child (children's) name a mutual decision or was it a debate?  If you don't have children, do you plan on giving your spouce a say, or do you have a name you must have, regardless if your other half likes it or not?
We do not have any but when we do it will have to be a mutal decision.  I have some names I like but none that I would really insist on if Hubs didn't agree.
My parents were in a dilema when I was born.  My dad is a simple man.  He liked Jennifer and Nicole.  My mom was (still is) a big fan of mystery books and who-done-it books.  She always fell in love with the names of the book's heroine.  So at the time of my birth she was really enjoying Ellie (short for Eleanor) and Bertie (and Mattie).  Needless to say, those names weren't simple.  I think I was a day or so old before my aunt came up with Melanie (after watching Gone with the Wind a few times).  They both agreed and here I am!

3.  What is your favorite type of weather?
Perfect Example - Last Friday Hubs and I were at the beach (Panama City Beach) and that trip consisted of three of the most perfect weather days.  Friday we sat on the beach.  It was warm but not too hot in the sun and it was perfectly breezy in the shade.  Perfect for sitting in the sand and reading.

4.  If left to your own devices, what time would you wake up everyday?
I don't know!  I would enjoy a few late mornings but also if I know that I don't have to be anywhere, my body tends to wake up early.

5.  Have you bought your cemetary plots yet?
No we haven't.  When Hubs' grandfather passed away in March, we actually had that discussion.  His grandparents are buried in my hometown (also the hometown of his grandmother). It is a beautiful and peaceful cemetary.  I wouldn't be opposed to being buried there with his family.  But at age 28, I'm hoping that decision won't have to be made for another 70-80 years!

Five Question Friday

1.  What is your favorite sign of spring?
Definitely the tulips.  They come eary and are so vibrant after a long (or seems like a long) winter.

2.  What was your favorite birthday ever?
Maybe my 16th.  My cousin and his wife let us use his pool for my party so we swam all day and my dad cooked out for us.  Then later we went back to my house and had a sleepover.

3.  What is your favorite dessert?
Four Layer Pie!  I forget the "real" name of it.  My mom has always made this and even after she and I became diabetics, it was easily adjusted for us.  It has a pecan crust (or graham cracker...Hubs' preference), a layer of cream cheese and powdered sugar, a layer of chocolate pudding, and then top it off with a layer of cool whip.  It is sooo good!  And sooo easy!

4.  What is the best excuse you've ever used to get out of a ticket?
I have never used an excuse.  My most recent traffic violation was becuase I just ran a stop sign.  I got pulled over and I was completely honest.  He said, "Do you know why I pulled you over?"  And I said, "Yes sir.  I completely ran that stop sign.  I know that is a hard place to get out so I saw it was clear and went."  He laughed and appreciated my honesty.  He ran my license (to make sure I wasn't a felon...his words) and let me off.  So, maybe sometimes honesty pays off.

5.  Do you wake up with the alarm clock, with your alarm, or after hitting snooze several times?
Definitely after hitting snooze.  I LOVE sleep.  I HATE that horrible sound that the alarm makes but when it goes off, I reset it.  About 4 times.  I'm terrible.

Five Question Friday

It is Five Question Friday!!  Come join the conversation at My Little Life.

 

1. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

That I would not procrastinate so much.  Here is an example of my procrastination.  I have known about a school assignment since January.  It is due Tuesday.  I started it today.  It is a 10 page research paper.  I procrastinate too much!

I have at least finished 2 pages!

2. Write about a time when you got lost.

A couple of years ago, Hubs and I took a trip to Gatlinburg.  When we got to Knoxville, there was a crazy detour because of major interstate construction.  It was late (about 10 or so) and the GPS was so confused.  We ended up getting off the interstate and riding through the Univ of Tennessee campus.  We were stopped at a red light and tried to get a police officer's attention but had no luck.  Thankfully we finally found a "less use of interstate" option on Lola (our GPS) and were able to find a crazy backway until we can get back on the interstate.  We finally arrived in Gburg...about midnight.

 

3. Camping or 5 star hotel?

Depends!!  I LOVE camping so if it is appropriate weather/destination then I love to camp.  We like to hike too so we take trips where we can set up camp and then hike.  And we have been backpacking where we took all of our gear in packs and hiked about 5-7 miles in and camped.

4. Have you donated blood?

No.  I am a diabetic so it is not generally the best idea for me to do.  I need to try again though!

5. Do you have a budget or do you 'fly by' most months?

Both!  I sometimes do a very detailed budget then at other times I just go on the fly.  It is a whole lot stressful to at least have a simple budget in mind.

Five Question Friday

I'm sort of copying Amanda.  :-)  Hope she doesn't mind...



1. Have you ever had surgery?

Yes but only minor.  I had my adnoids taken out (cut) when I was little and those little suckers can grow back!  I them re-done (but burnt out this time) and my tonsils taken out when I was 19.  It was a one day surgery but the only time that I have ever had to be put under.

2. Ever ride in an ambulance?

Nope. 

3. How are you in a medical emergency? Panicked? Calm?I think it depends on the situation and person.  I have had to take Hubs to the ER three times with medical emergencies.  I feel like I have been calm each time.  But I also knew none of thes events were life threatening.  The first was when we were in engaged and he cut his finger open with a knive.  He had a deep, wide cut and hit a nerve so it definitely required stitches.  The second and third times were kidney stones.  He was in a tremendous amount of pain but again I knew he would be ok if we could just get him there and get some medicine into him.

4. Do you have a garden? Flowers or veggies?

Neither!  My parents are fabulous green thumbs.  My mom's flower beds take up her entire backyard.  She has all sorts of flowers including lots of roses and all kinds of bushes.  My dad has a yard every year where he grows tomatoes (his favorite), peppers, and squash.  Apparently I didn't inherit any of their wisdom.  I am hoping to put something in my front yard but my mom already knows she has to come pick everything out and give me exact directions.

5. When did you move out of your parents house?

The last time I slept at my parents' home was the night before my wedding.  I was just shy of 22.  All of my furniture was already at my new home so I only had my honeymoon suitcase and my wedding day clothes.
