Five Question Friday!! 12/2/11

So, last week I was on the verge of vomiting when I wrote my 5QF answers (aren't you sooooo glad you know that?!)...but, since I like vomiting as much as I like the devil, I fought it away. As you could tell, last week's answers were a bit...well, short.

Not my usual blab and blather.

But LUCKY FOR YOU I feel great this week! Yay! Happy dance!! Mama's back to blab and blathering!! Woo hoo!! Wait. Why aren't you happy dancing?

Great. Now I look like an idiot for celebrating by myself.

Anyway (see how quickly I got over that?!), I have quite the story to tell you. Yes about dogS, why do ask?

But first, we've gotta do Five Question Friday!

Welcome to Five Question Friday!! (Or, at least the "sneak peek" of it!) You've come to the right place if you want a fun, easy, silly post or if you've suddenly discovered your muses have been eaten by naughty dogs.

Rules for 5QF: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for the linky post to appear (that'll be the post with my answers!) Friday morning and LINK UP!

1. What is your favorite Christmas decoration in your house?

SQUEEEEEEE!!!! Sandy, seriously, we are long lost sisters or cousins or neighbors or something. I was JUST thinking, "someone needs to ask about a favorite Christmas decoration", because GUESS WHAT?!

I have the BEST Christmas decoration.

See, I have this best friend, I like to call her my "bestie", some of you know her by "Unkept Cook", but she is the worlds best gift giver. She owns a marketing-ish business and a few years ago I was a "secret shopper" for her and fell in love...head over heels in love, with a Santa decoration I saw.

Guess what?

That Christmas, I received the most adorable Santa decoration! Want to see him?

This photo doesn't do him justice (and the photo itself is pretty crappy...hey, it was dark), but here he is:

His eyes sparkle...his face is so...jolly! I haven't ever seen a better Santa since getting him, and believe me, I check because I'd LOVE to get another one of him dressed in something different!

2. Do you finish your Christmas shopping early or are you a last minute type?

I am definitely a marathon Christmas shopper. No sprinting for this girl.

A bit here, a tad there. Check off a couple of things at a time and usually I shop right up until Christmas Eve. Whatever isn't done by December 24th, doesn't get done!

Every year I try to set an earlier deadline for myself...and actually, I think I did it last year, now that I think of it, so that I can enjoy the last few days of the Christmas season without stressing too much!

Totally off topic, but does anyone else ever think, in, say, July...wow, and to think Christmas will be here before we know it?

Oh, you don't? Never mind.

3. When do you turn on your heat?

Um. What? You mean, some people turn off their heat?

Kidding! Kind of.

I don't have a "rule". The hubs likes to push my buttons and turn off the heat if I "turn it on too early", but he never wins. If he doesn't let me turn the heat on, he gets icicle feet or frozen hands to his warm belly.

Usually, we turn the heat on in October sometime. But I couldn't tell you for sure, 'cuz I never pay attention...I just crank that puppy up when I feel cold!

4. Do you ever wish your blog was private?

Um. Can I answer this truthfully...'cuz, you know, my blog isn't private?

Okay, so yes. I do sometimes wish my blog was private. Then I could vent away and no one would ever be the wiser, since I'd be the only one reading my ventage.

Alrighty then! Moving on...

5. Do you put your deodorant on before of after you put on your shirt?

GAH! Why, after, of course! Otherwise you get those nasty, impossible to get out, deodorant marks on your shirts and then, ugh, your outfit is ruined and you need to pick out something else and before you know it you're late and sweaty and your hair is all frizzy.

And it could've all been avoided by applying the stink stick AFTER getting dressed.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! We get to go to the Mr.'s company Christmas party tomorrow...I love a good reason to get all dressed up!
