1. What is better, growing old with out money or dying young and wealthy?

Oh, how I would love to be old and wealthy! But, since that is not an option...I will say, growing old without money!

I have a fear of death...I fear of leaving my children motherless...so, I'll take a nice long, material-free, homeless, hungry life any day!

2. Who takes out the garbage at your house?

That would be either A. my husband or B. my oldest son, but certainly not C. me.

Oh no. Not me. Gross.

Ew.

*gag*

When I take out the garbage, it never fails to rip apart. And then I'm stuck with a coffee groundy, ketchupy, left-overish mess of epic proportions.

Barf.

The "men" in my life have learned...if they are leaving for the weekend, we must start with a fresh bag. Even if the first is only half full...we've gotta start fresh...otherwise, they'll come home to Mt. Garbage (and, you hafta say that with a French accent...a la, "Gar-bah-jzah"...to get the full effect).

3. Have you ever had the same dream many times?

Well, kinda...sorta.

I have the same "theme" to my recurring dream.

It's tornadoes. I have always been fascinated by storms...fascinated and terribly fearful. Remember this story?

Yeah...tornado brain, I think.

In my dream...I am always rushing to save people. Rushing, rushing, rushing...gathering kids and loved ones and slamming the door shut just as the tornado tears by.

After the tornado goes by, there is usually very little distruction, other than a cute little path in the grass where the tail of the tornado touched.

Weird stuff.

My mom once told me that tornadoes signify chaos, or lack of control in you life.

Huh. Ya think? 5 kids...nah. No chaos in this house! ;)

4. Can you play a musical instrument?

Does a kazoo count? 'Cuz if not, then no.

But...in high school...I rocked a mean bass drum...and could fumble my way through a snare drum. Don't ask me about drum sets tho...this chick ain't gotta coordinated bone in her body...and it takes waaaaayyyyy more coordination to play a drum set than I can ever dream to have.

Course, I only dream about tornadoes...so, we know that won't happen!

In middle school I played the clarinet. Sucked at that.

Big time.

I can, however, whistle with the best of 'em! But that's it.

Oh, wait...that's right...the kazoo.

I almost forgot!

5. If you owned your own store, what would you sell?

Oh my gosh.

Candy.

Hands down...Willy Wonka-esque with a rolling ladder..did you know that the Pioneer Woman has a rolling ladder? I wanna visit her just for a ride on that ladder. Lucky girl.

Whoa. Holy digression, batman!

Okay...so, yes...candy. I know I'd be wiser to say, oh...I dunno...an appliance store, for the discount...but nope.

Candy it is.

Phew! Now, I'm off to pack! I hope everyone has a fantastic, awesome, safe and healthy weekend!
