5 Question Friday

Finally! This week has seemed to drag by. Completely and totally making me crazy.

We don't have any big plans for this weekend. It's supposed to be 101 and 102 all weekend. So it's going to be hot. This weekend also kicks off my husband's busy time of year, so I'll start seeing less and less of him until September or October. So I also call this weekend my kick off to temporary bachelorette season. Except I'm not looking for a man. Except maybe to clean, cook, and mow the yard.

I'm off work on Monday (Whoo Hoo!!!!!) so you might get a post, you might not. Because I actually have things to do at home.  Enjoy your weekend, and be safe!

1. Do you apologize to your kids  puppies?


All the time. I kick them, hit them, drop stuff on them. And I always tell them how sorry I am and love them. And no, it's all done accidentally. Blaze is bad about standing in the kitchen right next to you, and you turn around and there is a puppy. She is constantly getting the brunt of the abuse, and I keep hoping that she will get the hint and go lay down, but she doesn't, and I'm guessing after 8 years, she isn't going to either. Prancer is a ghost puppy, you turn around and suddenly he appears. He's quiet and sneaky. So it makes it rought to try and catch him, until I have tripped over him.

And if I screw up where my neices or nephews are concerned I apologize. When I'm wrong or when I hurt someone it's the right thing to do. Even if I don't like what I'm having to apologize.

2. What color are your nails right now?

Au Natural. I was doing the whole fake nail thing, but it was so hard to do, and is such a waste of time. But it keeps me from chewing on my nails. Because when I get tired or stressed, I chew on my nails. Otherwise I'm good. I know it's gross. And I hate that I do it. But a few months of fakies and I seem to get rid of the habit until I get really stressed out again.

My toes are always painted. I'm not really crazy about pedicures, but I am going to get one this summer. Otherwise I do my own. Usually some shade of pink. I'm not into weird colors. Pink is my limit.

3. When you were growing up, how difficult was it for you to stay home from school sick? (As in, did you have to vomit or just say "I don't feel good".)

Not hard at all. It took a few years of working with doctors and specialists to get my asthma under control and until high school, I was sick a lot. Enough that I had to have doctor's notes for all the abscenses. But every now and then mom would let me have a day off. One where I could play and just relax.

4. When is the last time you bought a new comforter for your bed?

About 3-4 months ago. Our other one was falling apart. It was a replace it or do without kind of situation. And we had been hunting for months for something that we both liked. Finally at Target, we bought on of their home collection brands. It's kinda turquoise and white, it's gorgeous. And I love it.

I keep watching at Target to see if they have another comfortor that I like when they are on sale, because I'm going to buy a second one. So that I have 2. And because this one is just so big and fluffy and comfy. And I'm picky.
5. Favorite website(s)?

I'm with Mama. I love damnyouautocorrect.com. It's just awesome in ways you can't begin to explain. I'm also a big fan of pogo.com when I'm at work. They have great games. I use my coke rewards to pay for my subscription so I get to play all the exclusive games. It's really great fun. I read a lot of blogs, look for couponing advice (mostly for someone who wants the extreme couponing savings without all the "hoarding" or as they call it stockpiles, because seriously what do you do with 40 boxes of cereal?)

It just depends on the mood I'm in on the websites I pillage. I like cooking, like tasteofhome.com and pickypalate.com.  I sometimes look for crochet patterns and new cross stitch patterns. But for the most part, I try to spend all my time on the computer at work, and limited at home.

Have a Happy, Safe Memorial Day weekend.
