Five Question Friday

Five Question Friday

 I feel like I've not posted all week, though I'm working on a giveaway to be posted soon.  I love the Five Question Friday because though a few random questions, you can get to know a person a little bit more.  Have fun!

1. Have you ever testified in court? For what? Um, NO!  I've never been in court or a police station (knock on wood).

2. Do you still have your wedding dress? Yes, hanging in the back of my closet, still stained with oil that I stepped in because they had just put it on the street the day before. I never liked it , but my mother did (all $500 of it). When Honey and I get married again, we're eloping and I'm picking out a dress I like.  Something strapless (no ugly BIG sleeves), no poofiness or lace.  last year for our 20th Anniv. we talked about renewing our vows and my two boys were arguing about who would walk me down the aisle.  That made me crumble in tears....

3. Is there a special place you like to go when you're happy, sad, stressed, etc.? Sadly, I really don't have a place to go that the kids, pets, or anyone else won't follow.  I guess, the bathroom would have to where I can go to be by myself.  I can soak in the tub, read a book or watch TV...

4. If you have kids, do they sleep with you? If you don't have kids...will you let your kids sleep with you when/if you have them?    
Our kids are 18,17, and 12, so they don't sleep with us, but when they were little they would somehow mysteriously end up in between Honey and myself.  We never could figure that out.  Our kids were wigglers and kickers - no sleeping with them.  The only one that we really had sleep with us was Youngest because of his heart issues and we couldn't let him cry until he was a year old.  It was a very long year.

 

5. Do you watch late night TV?  We try to have the TV off by 10, but sometimes when I can't sleep, I'll look at our saved programs and do some catching up.  We really don't watch a lot of TV and I'm too tired to stay up past 10. 

So what about you?  This post is linked up with Five Question Friday.

 

Five Questions Friday - on the lighter side of this week

Whew!  It has been a week!  We added a new little one (I know, I must be touched in the head) but she sure is a sweetie!  When you add all three girls (ages 12, 15, and 24 months) together, you get a lively crew!

I needed something lighthearted tonight after a busy week.  I'm was so tickled Wednesday when I found I was awarded a blog award from inspiringly sweet Glenda. I've really enjoyed getting to know her this last year.

I was visiting Jodi at Green Acres and really enjoyed her edition of  Five Question Friday. 

1. Can you drive a stick shift?  Yes, Growing up in a rural community, I used to drive an old Ford truck around the oil fields for Jack, an elderly gentleman who had glaucoma.  He always told me I was driving me too fast.  Dirt roads always made it seem you were going faster than you really were. I don't like driving them in hilly places or stopped at the top of a hill with someone else who thinks they need to be on your tail!  I remember once when I was driving it over a hill and the brakes went out - there was a busy intersection at the bottom and I had two other people with me.  Took me a mile to get it stopped! Didn't know I could have downshifted!  

2. What are two foods you just can't eat?  Since I can only pick two, Liver and Okra are right up there with cow tongue and mushrooms.  My mom used to fix liver and onions when I was growing up and I couldn't stand the smell.  The Okra?  I couldn't stand touching it in the garden - very prickly when raw, but slimy yucky when cooked.  Makes me shiver thinking of it!

3. Do you buy Girl Scout Cookies? What is your favorite kind?  I send those cuties to my husband and he always knows exactly what I like - Thin Mints all the way!

4. How do you pamper yourself? I don't do this often, but buying a book and finding time to read is pampering for me.  Honey bought me two massage sessions this last year for Mother's Day/Birthday, but I've not used them yet.  I think going out with girlfriends for Girls Night Out is pampering, relaxing, and fun. 

5. What is your nickname and how did you get it?  I've had a few over the years, but Net is the one that people close to me call me.  It's kinda un-original - the last three letters of my name.

  What about you?  How would you answer these questions?  Leave me a comment, I’d love to hear from you!
