Five Question Friday! 10/15/10

It's Friday, I have a cold, we have a groom's dinner to attend tonight, a wedding tomorrow, and many family activities throughout the next few days as the Mr.'s California bro is here in town! Fun, fun stuff!

Minus the cold.

I'd gladly trade you one cold today, for a hamburger tomorrow. Or something. (Okay, so I know that Whimpy quote is so far off the mark that it shouldn't even be referred to as a "Whimpy quote"...but my brain is clogged with boogers, so it's not working quite right. Forgive me.)

Anywhodles...let's get this 5QF show on the road!!

You know the gig. But, if you don't...here are the rules!

Rules for 5QF: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog, answer them, then c'mon back Friday morning for the linky! While that is all good and important, the following is the most crucial rule of all:

HAVE FUN!!!!

Questions for Friday, October 15th: (Special thanks to Jill, Twitter inspiration from Kate,Bethany, Dianne [no blog], and one from the handy deck of random question cards, for their question suggestions! If YOU would like to be linked in a future 5QF, c'mon over to my community and offer up your best question suggestions!)

2. Do you fold your socks?

3. What is something that you wish you had been warned about?

4. What is the most significant difference between you and your significant other?

5. What are three words you would use to describe yourself? (And, just for fun...if your significant other is around, ask him/her what 3 words they would use to describe you!!)

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

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy?

Anything. I'm kind of a candy freak.

But...if you dumped it all out in front of me, I would most definitely first pick out the "Frooties" (not the fat Tootsie Roll fruit flavored ones, but the skinny, yummier brand) and the "Now and Laters".

WHAT?! No chocolate?! You ask?

Well, yeah...I tend to go first for the fruity stuff...followed closely by chocolate. Preferably, chocolate with caramel. And most definitely, chocolate withOUT fruit.

*gag*

2. Do you fold your socks?

Well, in theory, yes...I fold my socks.

Only, here's what usually happens...

I toss in the whites, fighting the urge to break down in tears 'cuz I HATE FOLDING SOCKS. I then toss them in the dryer, and fill the washer with a different load of clothes/jeans/towels/sheets/rugs/blankets.

Fold whites, tossing socks in a basket to "fold later". Fold subsequent and many loads of clothes/jeans/towels/sheets/rugs/blankets.

Repeat above process starting with whites again.

Now, my family has been scrounging through the basket of clean socks for a couple of days weeks months , so while I always have good intentions to fold my socks...I can always find better things to do with my time.

Like pull out my fingernails one by one.

3. What is something that you wish you had been warned about?

I wish someone would've warned me about how much I'd look back on teenagehood and realize how good I had it.

Wouldn't it be great, to go back for just a day or two, with the wisdom we have now?! Oh, to appreciate the "stress" of a test, to love how fabulous our bodies looked back then, to realize that the mean girl/boy was really just seriously lacking self esteem and to know, "I AM FABULOUS"?!!!

Yeah...wish I'd been warned about that.

4. What is the most significant difference between you and your significant other?

The most significant difference would be our introvert/extrovert personalities. We really are the perfect match...

I tend to be the social, crazy one...and he tends to be the quiet, thoughtful one. I open him up, he grounds me. I get all emotional, he's the levelheaded, even-keeled one.

We seem to always balance each other out.

I love my guy.

5. What are three words you would use to describe yourself? (And, just for fun...if your significant other is around, ask him/her what 3 words they would use to describe you!!)

My three words:

1. Goofy: I love laughing with life, being fun-loving, and scaring the bejeezus out of my husband!!
2. Caring: I make a living taking care of people...I love what I do.
3. Maternal: Ever since I can remember, I have loved babies. I loved baby sitting, I love being a mother.

His three words:

1. Witty: Awww...he's so cute!
2. Hot: Smart man... ;)
3. Maternal: Great minds think alike!

(And, for the record, those really were his words! I didn't just fill them in myself...criss cross applesauce, promise. Although, he had to think for a bit on the third one...he said after: "What's that word to describe when you piss me off so much and get under my skin and I wanna kiss you?!" Er...I dunno.)

I hope everyone has a great weekend! I hoping to veg on Sunday and read up on some good ol' 5QF links!!
