Five Question Friday! 1/15/10

Holy moly! It's Friday...last I looked, it was Thursday! Ah...which, yeah...I guess makes complete sense...since Friday always follows Thursday, and all.

Ahem. Sorry.

Well, anyway my friends, it's time to put on your poodle skirts and bobby socks and get ready for a little Blog Hoppin'! (Oh, but if you're a guy and want to join in...feel free to forget about the poodle skirt...)

It's time for some 5QF action!! It's easy peasy...a silly, fun way to get to know other bloggers! Last week was one heckuva hoppin' week! Thanks to everyone who joined in and linked up!

Tell ya what...if we can break 100 this week...I'll make this 5QF a giveaway (I dunno what, but it'll be somethin' awesome!)! So spread the word!

Okay, want some rules?

Copy and paste the following questions to your blog, answer them, grab the MckLinky Blog Hop code (if you want), and link up! I'd love it...I'd probably hug you and kiss you and call you George...if you'd link back to me, Mama M.!

No blog? That's okay! Feel free to just jump in on the comments and leave your answers (but, really...you should have a blog! It's what's hip...or something...)!

Alright...

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

1. Worst trouble you ever got into as a teenager?

You mean, besides the unplanned pregnancy at 18?

Well...that was a blessing in disguise...'cuz, man alive, did I get one heckuva blessing with that kiddo. He's awesome.

So, we'll exclude that one.

Well...the first thing that comes to mind, is the night I drank a bottle of Captain Morgan.

Yes...a bottle...and, ah...I'm not talking a mini-bar bottle, here either.

I was a junior or senior in high school...at a party with friends, drinking Morgan Cokes...and waaaaayyyyyyy too stupid for my own good.

Waaayyyyyyyyy too stupid.

Have I mentioned that I was waaaaayyyyy too stupid?

So, I ran out of Coke at some point in the night...and just finished off the bottle. I don't remember much, other than my awesome, amazing, angrier than heck dad, holding a bucket under me the entire night.


Thank the Lord...He was watching over me that night!

So, other than a lifelong distaste for Captain Morgan...a realization that I am not a drinker (well...that realization may have come a coupla years later...)...and a raging hangover...I lived and learned.

I'm a cheap date. Just ask my hubby!

2. Are you a morning person or a night person?

Ain't no doubt about it, this Mama's a night owl! I train my kiddos from a very long age...that if they want to remain a part of this family, they must not wake before 8:30...preferably 9:30.

7 am is the dead of night for me. Well, kinda. I get up with my school kids, see them off for the day, and crawl back into my comfy, cozy bed...until the Littles wake me!

Morning and Mama just don't get along! Could be, partly, that I work a lot of evening shifts...which puts me home about midnight, and I need to wind down (read: blog) before I crash.

So, it gets late.

Real late.

3. Are you a one-handed or a two-handed Texter?

Two, for sure!! One hand just takes too long for me.

'Course, I'm new to texting...but, lemme tell ya...I sure broke in that "unlimited texting" real fast!

And...now, Mr. Wonderful gets 37 million text messages from me a day...rather than 37 million phone calls. Isn't he lucky?!! (Ahem...I don't think he sees it that way...)

I'm not sure which one he prefers.

My guess? Neither...'cept, the days I'm busy and don't call/text...he usually asks, "Why didn't you call me today?"

See, I secretly think he loves it when I bother him incessantly at work. But, shhhhh...don't tell him I'm to him, 'k?

Thanks!

4. Democrat, Republican, or Independent..or maybe even Green Party (whatever that is).

I am definitely a conservative. Whether I fit the "Republican" mold, is up for debate...but, my values and beliefs are certainly conservative.

Which is funny...in college I considered myself a die-hard Dem. Then I voted for Jesse Ventura.

And I've been a conservative ever since.

Amen.

5. Are you a pet person?

Ugh...well, I know this sounds terrible, but no.

Not at all.

Pets kinda...well...they just sorta...ugh...you won't hate me, will you?

Please don't hate me...but, pets just kinda, sorta gross me out. They lick their butts, eat their feces, and then lick my hands.

*Shudder, shiver, gag, shudder, shudder, gag, shiver*

Grody.

And I'm totally serious. Never fail...wherever I go...I will be standing there talking to someone, and a dog will come up and talk a drive-by lick of my hands!!! Ewwwwwwwwww!! Blech!

Okay fabulous peeps!! There ya have it!

Let's link up and blow this one outta the water and have us a giveaway!
