Five Question Friday! 3/11/11

It's a three day WORKend for me...yup, that's right, it's my weekend to work! And to play, a little too...my big bro's getting old having a birthday, so we're celebrating at my parent's on Saturday night! Should be fun!

As is typical, I'm still HOPING that one of these days winter will end. It seems endless, right about now.

Alright...I'm writing this on Thursday night, and mine eyes are telling me it's time to go to bed, so let's get this party started!

1. Do you know what your REAL hair color is?

Er...

Um...

Well, judging by the stuff that peeks out in between coloring sessions, I'd have to go with:

"Dirty dishwater, mousy, nasty, disgusting blonde."

Thank goodness for hair colorists!!! In fact, now that I say that...I want to amend any previous 5QF questions that may have asked what I can/can not live without...

Hair color.

Amen.

2. Do you plan ahead for summer, or fly by the seat of your pants?

Well...a little of both.

The first several weeks are quite scheduled...lot's of morning activities for the kiddos. Then after that?

It's all about flyin' by the seat of my pants!!

However...we're thinking of planning another family road trip this summer. So, yeah. We should probably get planning!

3. What is your favorite meal to cook?

My favorite meal to cook is also my favorite meal to eat:

Carrot Gravy.

However, we have a new favorite in our house...Chicken Tortilla Soup. Yum!! (And ultra easy!)

But, I love the preparation for Carrot Gravy. The browning, the deglazing, the tasting, the seasoning, the tasting, the slicing, the tasting, the simmering...you get the picture!

And now...I must make Carrot Gravy. Soon!

4. Do you get offended by not receiving thank yous?

Nope. Not at all.

In fact, it makes me feel bad to get one. Weird, I know. I just enjoy doing things for other people, and I don't want "recognition" for it.

The only time I think it would be okay for ME, is if I sent a gift in the mail...just to know they received it. But even then, a phone call would suffice!!

5. How did you meet your best friend?

Well, my "oldest" best friend I met in first grade. Probably on the playground or something. We had many adventures together...and by "adventures" I mean, "things we prolly shouldn'ta done".

My "newest" best friend I met at work. We started driving together for company on the way to work (and to save a little gas) and we ended up bonding over life and McDonald's Frappes.

And then, there's my "bestie"...we met when our college tossed us single moms together under one roof and said, "good luck"! It was one of the best things that ever happened to me! We bonded over nachos and laughter.

I am one lucky girl to have such amazing best friends! Love you girls!!!!!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!
