Five Question Friday! 2/8/13

It's the weekend!!!! And it's gonna be a good one, I can feel it!



Date with my handsome man tonight, hockey tomorrow, birthday party on Sunday...AND maybe a snow storm!

It's been a good week, but I'm ready for some time with my family...and maybe some attention paid to my house! (And I was doing sooooo well at keeping up for awhile there!)

Okay, no more chit chat straight to the questions it is!

Welcome to Five Question Friday!! You've come to the right place if you want a fun, easy post or if you've suddenly discovered your muses just wanna be left alone. 

Rules for 5QF: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for the linky post to appear Friday morning and LINK UP! 


Oh, and remember (pay close attention...this is the important one)...HAVE FUN!

1. What holiday do you wish did not exist?

2. What is your favorite romance/love movie?

3. Do you make a big production out of celebrating Valentine's Day?

4. What is something weird you did as a child? (or even now!)

5. What makes you love your husband, really LOVE him, you know since Valentines is coming up?


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

1. What holiday do you wish did not exist?
Well, after my hatred of Halloween surfaced this year I would have to say, without a doubt, Halloween...with Labor Day a close second 'cuz it makes summer end. Stoopid Labor Day.


What, exactly, IS Labor Day anyway? I s'pose I should google it and educate myself...'cuz Google is the best educator, dontchaknow.

2. What is your favorite romance/love movie?

I'm gonna go with my old standby, off the beaten path of "mainstream" romance movies..."Hope Floats". Love that movie.


And, "Dirty Dancing" is also pretty dang good...and makes me want to dance. I love dancing. I get to dance tonight.

Whoa. Holy digression...I'm tired and it's late and SQUIRREL!!!! Oy. End answer now.

Moving on...

3. Do you make a big production out of celebrating Valentine's Day?

Not really...we try to do something fun, I try to make a fun treat or take the kids out for supper and I always get my handsome husband a card of some kind, but we're not a huge Valentine's Day family.


Hence the lack of red and pink hearts in my home right now.

Last year I did this for my kids and I LOVE that idea...soooo gonna do it again! Love putting in black and white the things that I love about them. And they love to read it!

And the heart hard boiled eggs were fun!

4. What is something weird you did as a child? (or even now!)

Okay...so, I had this long piece of satin ribbon that I called "silky". Silky was my BFF, my confidante, my partner in crime. I didn't go anywhere without Silky and Silky didn't go anywhere without me.


Not so weird...yet.

When I was in my groove with silky, I would (and man, I was a pro at this!!) I would accordion it up between my fingers on one hand...I had mad skillz...AND while I was accordioning it up, I would rub the bottom of my tongue against the roof of my mouth. A weird little comfort thing to me.

When I got to the end of the silky accordion, I'd fling it out and start all over again! All the while rubbing my tongue on the roof of my mouth.

Oh, and also, I had a fake friend named "Ruby Red".

5. What makes you love your husband, really LOVE him, you know since Valentines is coming up?

Oh sweet mercy, where do I start? I am married to the most amazing man on earth. Deep in his faith, loves his family fiercely, giving of his time and talents, that he's such an amazing dad, his laugh, his smile, his sense of humor, his love for "Despicable Me"...it just doesn't end.

I thank my lucky stars that God brought us together, he is everything I ever dreamed of and needed in a man and I love him more with each passing day!

Sometimes, I look at him and am just awestruck by our marriage...sure we have our hard times, but I absolutely love our relationship and the team we make.

Plus, he's hot.

Good golly, I love that man. 

Pssst...and it's our anniversary on Sunday! 12 years!

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

Have a wonderful weekend! I'll let you know how much snow we get! :)

Cut pig-in-blanketfree from strip and make 19 more pigs-in-blankets in same manner, arrangingthem, seam sides down, as they are made on prepared baking sheet.

  12. I've been surfing online more than 3 hours nowadays, but I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is lovely price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the web will probably be a lot more useful than ever before.

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte
