Five Question Friday! 4/30/10

Happy Friday, my friends! I hope you all are planning fun, exciting things to do.

I'll hafta live vicariously through you, 'cuz I work the whole, stinkin' weekend. I think it's supposed to rain, and please don't hate me when I say that that makes me happy.

Please?

'Cuz, lemme tell ya, there's nothing worse than being stuck inside a huge brick building, breathing recycled air when the world outside is enjoying sunshine, fresh air and chirping birds.

But, anyway...let's get down to the fun stuff!! I'm not gonna vlog today.

After my last...um...video...I think I'll let the horror and humiliation die down a bit first. I'll have you know, tho'...that that video nabbed me the title of "Weirdest" in my family!

Yessssssss.

Well...here's the goods that you came here for!

--------------------------------------------

1. If you could, would you go back to high school?

You know, no.

I didn't enjoy high school all that much. Sure, I enjoyed the party scene, and hangin' with my friends...but, I dunno.

Meh.

I actually went "post-secondary" my senior year (do other states do this? Pay for college classes, when you're in high school, for you that count toward high school credits too?)...silly post-secondary story, coming up...

I failed Econ.

Big, ol', fat, red 'F'.

Our prof told us that he would allow us to "throw out" our lowest test score. So, my friends and I (I went with a couple friends), decided that the day of the final was waaaayyyyy to gorgeous to be sitting in a class room, so we skipped.

We figured we'd use that as our lowest score.

Um. Yeah. No.

It didn't work that way.

But, anyway...back to HS. My final answer...NO.

2. If a genie appeared and granted you two wishes, what would they be? (And, no saying "more wishes".)

Oh, man! Sandy, so not fair on the more wishes thing.

Okay. So, I'd ask for a whole gob of money. Not, like, hundreds of millions, but enough to pay off our debt, secure a sound financial future for our children (parents, grandparents, siblings), and live comfortably (all the while, giving generously, of course).

Wait...reading through all of that. I think I am gonna need hundreds of millions to support all those people.

Wish Number 2: I would wish for a lifetime of health and happiness for my children and their children, and their children's children and so on and so forth. No illness, no disease, utterly happy, blissful.

The end.

3. What kids show do you secretly like?

Wellllll...if I'm going to be totally honest with you, I'm not so sure. We don't have cable/satellite/dish/etc...so, I don't know very many new shows.

BUT...I know what kids show my dad likes!

Oh, yes!

Friends...are you ready for this?!!

My dad...he lives for iCarly!

Well, okay...maybe that's a little dramatic. He lives for my kids coming over, so that he has an excuse to watch iCarly!

And, now...I've just been written out of the will.

4. What is your beverage of choice?

Gosh. You know...I'm really not much of a drinker!

I'm quite certain I plow my way through life more than just a little dehydrated.

BUT...if you lined up a whole buncha drinks on the counter and let me pick?

Non-alcoholic: Ice water...in a glass cup (but not a stinky dishwasher glass cup...why do dishwashers make glass so smelly? And squeaky?)...and it would be all sweaty, 'cuz the water would be soooo cold!

Alcoholic: Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade.

There's also McDonald's Iced Coffee...but I've had a few bad one's lately (seriously, "light on the cream" does NOT mean, "make me a milk shake" or "give me extra extra flavored syrup"...for real, sheesh), so I'm boycotting those.

Not to mention the whopping 8 grams of fat they contain. *shudder*

5. What is something that you would change about yourself (or are working to change in yourself)?

Hmmm...I'm gonna do this two ways: non-physical, and physical.

Non-physical first.

Well, something that I work on a daily basis, is being more assertive.

I am a wimp.

With a capital W (and IMP, too). And, I hate being a wimp.

So, yes, please. I'd like to change that.

Now, physical:

I am trying really, really hard to appreciate the body I have now. 'Cuz I know, looking back, I didn't appreciate my 16 year old body, and my 25 year old self would've killed for it.

And, I didn't appreciate my 25 year old body, and now my 33 year old self would kill for that body. So, I am trying to appreciate what I've got right now! ('Cuz I'm guessing when I'm 40...I'll look back and slap myself across the face for not appreciating what I have right now!)

But...if I could change anything...like "poof" there it is?

My legs. I'd lengthen them by about 6 inches so that they would be in proportion to my torso.

You think I'm kidding, don't you?

Ohhhhhhh....but, no! I'm not!!

I'm soooo not kidding!

Once upon a time, I measured my legs with someone who is 4'11"...mine were a hair...just a teeny tiny bit...longer than hers.

And, I'm 5'7"ish.

Freakazoid.
