Hello, blog buds! Happy Friday to you. When you only post a couple of times a week and you follow a meme or blog hop of sorts, it seems like every other post is the same..."Can't believe it's time for Five Question Friday again!" but it is. Hop over the Mama M's "My Little Life" for the official "rules," link up and original questions. Here are my answers for this week...(oh, and I did snap a few pics of my birthday cake from yesterday; I'll post them later today.)
1. If you could speak with a different accent, what would it be (i.e Australian, Scottish)?
I love the whole Aussie-accent thing, but I’d go with French-sounds sexy to me. (Okay, maybe I’m misinterpreting the question just a little and am thinking of speaking another language vs. just speaking with the accent now that I think about it.) Of course, the French accent may be unrecognizable coupled with my Tex-Mex Spanglish accent!
2. Can you fall asleep anywhere? (i.e floor, couch, deck)
Yes, I can fall asleep pretty much anywhere-even sitting up in front of my computer like I’m doing now while I’m waiting for PE and Band uniforms to finish washing so kids will have them for school tomorrow.
3. Do you use public restrooms? If so, do you sit on the toilet?
I use public restrooms only when I absolutely have to. I prefer when they have those disposable seat covers, but if not I sometimes sit on my hands—the idea being I can always wash & sanitize my hands immediately after using the public restroom. If it’s really disgusting I’ll cop a squat over the toilet bowl and try not to touch anything with any part of my body.
4. If you were stuck in an elevator for 24 hours, what celebrity would you most want to be stuck with?
Umm…are there hidden/security cameras in the elevator? Let me just play this safe…I’d want to be stuck with Steve Carrell. I LOVE his wacky sense of humor and think he’d do a great job of keeping me entertained enough to stave off a claustrophobic panic attack for 24 hours.
5. Where did you & your significant other go on your 1st date?
My hubs and I met through a mutual friend. My now brother-in-law works for a car dealership and I was in the market for a car after my return from Honduras. So, the hubs (with the encouragement of said mutual friend) volunteered to take me car shopping. One day we left the dealership and headed down the street to Chilis for lunch. We consider that our first “date.” I remember I ordered baked potato soup and a wine cooler. I know the Hubs thought I was up to something, but he quickly learned that that’s how I roll. He was obviously smitten by the thought of having a frugal wife!
That was fun; now I'm done...H ave a wonderful day and a great weekend

Five Question Friday-August 6, 2010
Is it really Friday again so soon? Click on the Five Question Friday button to the right to join in on the fun or for more details. OR you could always join the blog hop sponsored by simplystacie and my wee view by clicking on the Fun Follow Friday button. Here goes...
1. Are you a neat sleeper or a messy sleeper? It totally depends. I think I'm a pretty neat sleeper. Sometimes it seems as if I haven't moved at all throughout the night. Other nights I know I toss and turn a lot but not to the degree that the covers are on the floor and the pillows are at the foot of the bed or anything like that. I sleep with covers, Hubby sleeps without so sometimes the sheets get a little tangled and twisted.
2. Fill in the blank: I wish I was more _____
Picture Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid clasping her hands and saying, "Oh this is just too easy. She's fallen in love with a Prince!" Now picture me saying, "Oh this is just too easy! I wish I was more organized!" I can think of some other words to finish that statement, but "organization" wins hands down.
3. What is something you wish you had been warned about?
Umm ... err...uhh. Let me just spit it out already: marital "expectations." Let me preface that by saying sex education in my parents' household consisted of 6 words: don't do IT until you're married. Well, we did have access to the Life Cycle Library, too, which was a collection of about 3 or 4 volumes that was probably published before I was ever born. They mainly talked about puberty and "petting" (archaic word for making out). Sometimes demands of married life and parenthood are overwhelming--a little warning would have been nice.
4. What was the best thing you ever found at a garage sale/flea market? Just for the record, I don't really shop much, not even garage sales and flea markets. I can remember being dragged from garage sale to garage sale with my grandmother one summer. She bought me and my sister purses made with a cool whip tub for a bottom with holes punched around the top and a drawstring top crocheted to the cool whip tub. Maybe not the greatest find, but definitely unique and "memorable." More recently I bought a bike rack for the back of my van from my next door neighbor (which I have yet to use--best laid plans, right?!).
(5) If you could have any meal brought to you right now, what would it be? Ahhhh, food, my favorite subject! This is probably the most difficult question of all because it's after 4 a.m. and I'm hungry, so really a bowl of cereal would probably do. As long as I'm dreaming though, let's make the most of it. I'd start with a chilled fruit soup-like they often serve on cruise ships. My SIL thinks this sounds totally gross, but a few spoonfuls served in a beautiful piece of crystal or china would be a nice start in my opinion. Next, I'd have a lobster tail along with a filet of fish with more seafood -crab, shrimp, spinach, wine & butter-piled on top (I'm thinking Pappadeaux's Seafood Kitchen here) with a house salad and onion rings on the side. As if that's not a recipe for gastrointestinal distress in and of itself, I'd have some yumscrumptious variety of cheesecake for dessert with a splash of decaf coffee to wash it down.
Well, folks, that was fun and now I'm done. Until next time...
