Five Question Friday! 1/21/11

H-h-h-h-h-happy F-f-f-f-f-f-friday!! It's c-c-c-c-cold here!

Like, seriously cold. Closing schools cold. Freezing your nose hairs together cold...you don't know cold until you walk outside, go to sniff your nose before boogers drip out, and discover you have now frozen your nostrils together.

Welcome to MinneSOOOOOta.

So, while the rest of the state shuts down their schools, I am guessing 10 to 1 odds that our district will have school tomorrow. Which leaves me with the decision to keep my kids home or to send them out in this crapola.

Ugh. CLOSE THE SCHOOLS!!

Okay, carrying on now...welcome to Five Question Friday! The easiest, most fun blog hop around!

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?

Are you ready for the most romantic story of your life? Grab your popcorn and settle in...this is gonna be a good one...

We met...

Are you sure you're ready?

For sure, for sure?

Okay...

We met...

In a bar.

I KNOW! Sooooo, romantic right? WAIT! It gets better...

We met, in a bar...

On my 21st birthday!

21st Birthday = lot's of alcohol consumption. Lot's of alcohol consumption does not a pretty girl make. I'm convinced I wooed him with my smarts.

*GASP* Are you laughing?! Hmmmm...well, I guess lot's of alcohol consumption does not a smart girl make.

Anywho, he liked something about me, and I thought he was pretty dang cute. 13 years later, I still think he's pretty dang cute...so I guess it wasn't just beer goggles that night! ;)

2. What is your favorite room in your house?

My bedroom.

Because it has my bed...and I love my bed.

I love my bed so much so, that my answer to #5 should really be something like "23".

*Sigh*...can I go to bed now?

3. Can you wiggle your ears?

Er...no. Not one teeny, tiny, itty, bitty, eensy, weensy, little bit.

But, I can touch my tongue to my nose! That's gotta count for something, right?!

Right?

I wish I could wiggle my ears. Or don't I? Okay, now maybe I'm satisfied with my nose licking abilities, 'cuz I bet those ear wigglers out there can't lick their noses.

4. What is your evening ritual?

Mine or the kids?

Quick kid run down: Eat, dishes, showers for those that need them, books if we have time, prayers, tucking in, kisses, drink for one, more kisses, drink for another, more tucking in, drink for someone else, kisses and tucking, back to drink for the first...you get the picture. ;)

Me: Brush teeth, good night.

Okay, okay, I lie...I'm more of a brush teeth, check on kids, read some blogs, get a drink, write a blog post, take some ibuprofen, shut off the lights, play some Words with Friends, check Twitter, play one more WWF game, check email, play JUST ONE MORE WWF game, put down phone, hear vibration telling me another WWF game is awaiting me, play ONLY ONE MORE WWF game, close eyes, fall asleep.

The end.

5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?

"Need" or "want"?

To function...and to function well, probably about 5. Anything less and I am a zombified version of myself, pretending to be functional, but really just on autopilot.

I would love to get 12 hours of sleep a night. Remember answer #2? My bed? Yes...I love my bed. Much.

To snuggle in for 12 hours would be divine.

But instead, I'm happy if I get more than 5 solid hours...preferably 8. (But really, really preferably 12.)

So...how 'bout you? Let's hear what YOU have to say!
