Five Question Friday! 9/24/10

Before I say anything more...I need to wish my Dad a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Looking forward to kielbasa, french fries, and corn on the cob. ;) Love ya!!

Carrying on...

Um...did anyone see where the last week went? No, scratch that...did any see where September went? Holy Hannah!! It's almost the end of September, and I still feel like it shouldn't be any later than June!

I mean, didn't the kids just get out of school? Certainly they can't already be nearly a month into the new school year already, can they?!

Anyway, if anyone finds my lost time, will you please return it? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Sooooooo glad it's Friday! So, so, so glad! Oh, and even more glad that I came home to a clean house! I have the best husband in the whole world. He's a saint...and I am one blessed woman!

Let's get this 5QF show on the road!

2. Can you fall asleep anywhere? (i.e floor, couch, deck)

3. Do you use public restrooms? If so, do you sit on the toilet?

4. If you were stuck in an elevator for 24 hours, what celebrity would you most want to be stuck with?

5. Where did you & your significant other go on your 1st date?

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

1. If you could speak with a different accent, what would it be (i.e Australian, Scottish)?

I would love, love, love to have...well...any accent other than this goofy Fargo-esque MinneSOOOOOta accent that I have.

I do think, however, that a fancy Scottish brogue...or a hip Aussie accent...or, gee...even a nice English accent would be nice.

Mr. Wonderful spent 5 months Australia, before I knew him. Oh *groan* what I would do now to hear him talk with the Aussie accent he came back with.

*blushing*

*fans self*

*swoons*

*takes cold shower*

Ahem...yeah. That'd've been awesome.

2. Can you fall asleep anywhere? (i.e floor, couch, deck)

Uh uh.

Nope.

No way.

No how.

It's impossible. I've gotta be in my bed, snuggled under the covers, nice and warm. Can't fall asleep with the kids, can't fall asleep on the couch, certainly can't fall asleep on the deck.

If only. Gosh...that sounds dreamy. (Pun intended.)

3. Do you use public restrooms? If so, do you sit on the toilet?

Well, yes. I do.

I have 5 kids, and on any given outing, it's likely that I'll hear "I need to go potty!!!!" several times, and while I'm certainly not against having my kiddos pee on the tire of the van (or, you know...at those of my kids that actually can pee on a tire...), at some point I usually have to take one (or five) of them potty.

No, I lied. My 14 year old is self sufficient. He takes himself potty.

When I, myself, find the "urge" calling...I hover. 'Cept I'm finding that the old thigh muscles aren't what they used to be and it's getting harder and harder to perch myself the couple of inches above the toilet seat.

It's hard getting old. It means you actually hafta sit on public toilets.

Grody.

4. If you were stuck in an elevator for 24 hours, what celebrity would you most want to be stuck with?

Oh gosh. Um...hmmmmm...

Lemme think. *thinking*

While I'd like to say some hunky movie star...I wouldn't. I've got all the hunk I need in my Mr.

So, I'm gonna go with a comedian. Someone who would keep my laughing and entertained and completely fun to be stuck with for 24 hours.

But...I don't really know who to say...Ellen? Jay Leno? Jim Gaffigan? (Is he a celeb?) That Chelsea Lately chick?

I dunno...I don't keep up with pop culture. Maybe I should just pick some hunky movie star. It'd be so much eas...

STEVE CARRELL!!!!

That's it.

End of story.

5. Where did you & your significant other go on your 1st date?

Awww...warm fuzzy memories forthcoming...

We went to a nice little restaurant called "D.B. Searle's", where I ordered a Chicken Cesar Salad and declared it to be the perfect first date meal...not messy, girly, fills you up without making you look like a pig.

Self conscious much?

Funny story about our first date...

After I tried on every imaginable outfit I had, I was waiting for him to come pick me up (late, as is his style...) when about the time he should have been there, my roommate and I hear this obnoxious, overly loud, bass thumpin' music comin' down the road.

I shot her a look that said, "OH, don't even tell me!!!" and my "perfect bubble" of the good ol' country boy burst. But, it reformed shortly thereafter when the bass thumpin' car kept on going, and a few minutes later my date showed up, handsome as can be...and sans annoying music!!

Praise the Lord!! I'm not sure I could've gone on that date, had that music been from him!

And that, my friends, wraps up this week's edition of Five Question Friday!!
