Five Question Friday! 5/21/10

*Yawn*...Mornin' friends! I'm a ti-RED mama today! I had to work until 4 am...LOTSA babies being born last night!

Doesn't surprise me, since every time I've been out and about lately, every other person I've seen has been hugely pregnant!

Anywho...welcome to Five Question Friday...or 5QF! If you haven't ever played before...join in!! It's sooooo much fun!

Rules for Five Question Friday: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog, answer them, then c'mon back to link up (on Friday, of course!). If you'd like, the blog hop code is available for you to grab! I would be a very grateful mama, if you'd link back to me, Mama M.!

Questions for Friday, May 21st: (Special thanks to Pam, Jill, Liz, Erin, and Lula Lola for their question suggestions! Wanna be linked in a future 5QF? Head over to my community and offer up your best question suggestions! We need some freshening up over there...so I'd LOVE to see some new questions!!)

1. Do you have an iPhone and, if so, how do you get apps and what are your favorites?

2. What is your fondest memory of K-3rd grade?

3. What makes you cringe at the thought of touching?

4. If you could have any celebrity show up on your doorstep who would it be and why?

5. What would you say is your best physical feature?

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

1. Do you have an iPhone and, if so, how do you get apps and what are your favorites?

Pam bullied me to ask this! Okay...well, not really bully, but begged and pleaded...I'm pretty sure, if I had tried, I could've gotten her to give me her first born, for asking this question! ;)

Yes! I do have an iPhone...I resisted it for a long, long time, thinking it couldn't possibly be as great as everyone makes it out to be.

Well...guess what?

It IS! I love it. I'd married it if I could...but since I'm already married, I'll settle for it being my best friend!

And apps? I go to the "App Store" on my phone to get my apps...I've heard you can get them from iTunes (is this true?), but I've never tried.

I'm totally a cheapskate...I think I've only paid for a couple of apps (kid ones), and the free ones are AWESOME!

My favorite app...is probably Google Voice. I love that if I'm on the fly, I can just talk into the phone and find a phone number or an address, lickety split! In fact...I have a funny story about my Google Voice app that I just may share someday.

But not now. It's too long.

My most used apps? TweetDeck (which would/could also fall under "favorite" or, perhaps, "can't live without"), Weather Channel, and Caring Bridge (a "favorite" too!).

My kids like DoodleBuddy, Flight Control, Papertoss, Wheels on the Bus, and iXylophone.

Fun stuff that keeps 'em busy and quiet in a pinch.

2. What is your fondest memory of K-3rd grade?

(Kyrsten...K-3rd is our first four years of school: Kindergarten-3rd grade!)

Alright...promise you won't laugh?

I know you're gonna.

Even if you promise...'cuz y'all are like that. But, I guess, I LIKE that! ;)

My fondest memory of K-3rd (would NOT be trying to kiss poor Michael Nelson every opportunity I ever had...sorry Michael!)...my very favorite memory?

Aside from my most awesome Kindergarten teacher...it would be the lunches I would get for fieldtrips!

Those lunches were the bomb!! And the fieldtrips?

Well, let's just say they don't do 'em like they used to! My poor kids don't know what they ever missed. They do things like "go to the Arboretum"...we did things like "go to the Minnesota Zoo".

Poor, deprived, neglected kids...

Anyway...my lunches were the BEST! My mom would take us to the store the night before our field trip and let us pick out our pop and our "snack"...my snack was ALWAYS a Banana Flip.

Pure trans fat in a delicious, little, banana flavored treat. Mmmmm...I want one right now.

Hold please, while I run to the store (will you look after my children while I'm out? They're still in their jammies...m'kay? Great. Thanks!)

Back now. How were the kids? Perfect little angels, I'm sure. :D

3. What makes you cringe at the thought of touching?

Vomit.

Ew...but, sometimes...I have to. It's a hazard of being a mother. (BTW...does anyone else ever feel like the smell of vomit permeates it's way into EVERYTHING, and makes you feel as if you have bathed in it? Or is it just me?)

I also can NOT stand to touch a bug.

You know those talk shows that have bug peeps on them? Ooooh, look out...I'm gonna bust out a big word and show you how smart I am...you know, "entomologists"?

When they have those great big cockroaches and other totally disgusting bugs?

Yeah, I would go running and screaming and gagging and crying in the other direction as fast as I could.

*Shudder* Bugs suck.

4. If you could have any celebrity show up on your doorstep who would it be and why?

I wouldn't care who it was as long as they said, "I'm dying, and I want you to have all of my money and my multiple homes, my private jet, and my housekeepers."

I would love for Sandra Bullock to knock on my door, with that gorgeous new baby of hers, and sit down over a cup of coffee and chat. (All the while I'm snuggling her delicious new baby boy!)

Oh, and I was gonna say George Clooney...but since I've recently discovered that he is a man whore, I'm boycotting him.

Whoever will take his place at the top of my Top 5 list?!

5. What would you say is your best physical feature?

We discussed this recently, over at the Fencepost, and I just LOVE this question!

So often, we focus on the negative...what we don't like about our bodies, what we want to change, etc. that we forget to look at the positives! Remember my letter to my twelve year old self? I think I could write that letter, with different "foci" to myself at many different stages of my life.

I'm really trying to love the skin I'm in!

But...my best physical feature?

My cheekbones or, maybe, my hair.
