Five Question Friday! 11/19/10

Wooooweeeee!! It's Friday (in case, you know...you didn't know that yet...)!! Work was slow last night, so they sent me home...only I went to the mall instead. Finished up some shopping for a certain little boy's birthday that is coming up.

While I was at the mall...I stopped into my favoritest store in the whole widest world...Aerie. Turns out, they were having a party...just for ME! And by "me" I mean, "you, and you, and you...and yes, even you, too".

I (and you) even got a gift! Lip gloss and lotion! I felt guilty for not buying anything...and I honestly stood there and racked my brain trying to figure out who on earth I could buy a gift from Aerie for.

The only person I could think of was me. And, since I'm not into the whole "gift buying for me" thing right now, I had to leave. With my lip gloss and lotion burning a hole in my conscience.

Seriously, though...have you seen these? I'm in love...

Well, enough about me...let's find out more about YOU!

1. What Christmas song do you loathe?

Ugh. This question is so easy for me to answer!!

"Merry Christmas, Darling" by the Carpenters.

Makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

With very dull needles.

*shudder* I hate that song!

Actually, now that I think of it...I hate any and all Christmas songs sung Carpenters style. They make me want to vomit.

Wow...well, now...isn't that a joyful Christmas story?!

2. Do you and your significant other cuddle at night or sleep on opposite sides of the bed?

A few years ago, due to many small children making their way into bed with us, we got a king sized bed. We hunted and hunted...and by "we", I mean "my mom and I"...the Mr. said "I can sleep on anything, you just pick it out, I'll be fine." for the right bed.

I found just what I wanted. A nice, comfy, won't-jar-the-other-sleeper-out-of-a-deep-sleep-when-you-roll-over mattress. Big. Very big.

Many nights, we'll snuggle for a bit...then roll over to our respective sides of the bed...and by "respective sides of the bed" I mean the Mr. gets his 18 inches on the left side of the mattress and I get the rest.

He's such a good sharer. Even if he doesn't want to! ;)

3. Have you ever had surgery?

I have. Nothing major...but, yes!

First, I had my tonsils out when I was a wee little girl. I still remember the monkey on the wall at the hospital. Then, I had my wisdom teeth out when I was 20...and ended up puking my guts out and looking like a pocket gopher.

And then...

There was that little surgery on the "girls"...to fix 'em up a bit.

But that's all! ;)

4. When do you typically have your holiday shopping done?

Well...never, really. I tend to keep picking up "a little something more" until I just plum run outta time and can't pick up anything more. Little or not!

Every year, I have an idea of what I want to get. And the I keep getting.

And getting and getting and getting...then, we put it all together and I think, "Whoa!! Where did all this stuff come from?!" So, I'm really trying to reign it in this year...but, here's the thing...

I LOVE TO GIVE!!! (Don't get me wrong, I love to get, too...)

I LOVE seeing the joy and excitment on my kiddo's faces and when you get someone that "perfect" gift...it's awesome.

And, therein lies my issue. I'm always in search of the ellusive "perfect gift"...picking up a little something here and a little something there so that if I don't find that "perfect gift" at least I'll still have something to give!

Then, that something ends up being EVERYTHING!!

5. If money were not an issue (and you HAD to pick something), what would your ultimate luxury item be?

Oh, gosh...where do I begin!! You don't need to make me pick something!! I've gotta narrow it down!

Let's see...cars really aren't my thing, so we'll just forget about those.

If I could have any luxury item...I think I would choose a dream house. Decked out with all the best appliances and countertops and woodwork. But, that's not really "an item" is it?

Hmmmm...can I say monthy facials? There's this facial chain nearby that I've gone to that I would LOVE to be a monthly "member" of...Face Logic. It's dreamy. Fabulous dreaminess. But, that's not really an "item" either, is it?

How 'bout this...a "housekeeper". Someone to do some laundry, scrub my floors and tubs and sinks, dust my cobwebs, make me supper...wait. That's more like an "extra wife", isn't it? (There is an acutal business that my friend uses that goes by that very name..."An Extra Wife". I want her. The wife...not my friend. I mean, I love my friend, but she won't clean my house. Something about "having a job" and "kids" that stops her. Sheesh.)

I'm having a hard time with this! WAIT!!!!!

STOP THE PRESSES!!!!

I want, a top of the line Nikon (like the Pioneer Woman's)...heck, I'd even "settle" for a Nikon D7000. Yes...that is what I want.

Unless I can have the house.
