Five Question Friday 7/8/11

I'm heading to the MOA today! The Belle and I are having mother/daughter time with some great friends of our to celebrate Belle's friend's Golden Birthday! There's this cute little "kid spa" at the mall that we might be checking out, called "Scoops" and I'm dying to see if it's really as cute as it looks!

I'll most definitely let you know 'bout that little nugget.

From there, I'm headed to my big bro's new house to help he and my future SIL move in! Then, on Sunday, Mr. Wonderful's brother is celebrating his 40th. Crazy busy weekend!

Anyway, let's get this party started!

Welcome to the home of Five Question Friday...the most fun you'll have all weekend. (**Disclaimer: That is not a guarantee...don't hold me to that. But, I will promise that you'll have fun. End disclaimer**)

1. Do you think cursive writing is overrated? (Schools in Indiana have now voted to take teaching cursive writing out of their curriculum.)

Okay, before I go on any further, I just have to tell you this. As I was writing this out, "curriculum" was spelled wrong and one of the words spell check had suggested was "speculum" and somehow, I accidentally accepted it and read that last sentence of the question, but replace "curriculum" with "speculum".

Yeah, I just about died laughing.

Anyway, back to the question...yes. I do think cursive is overrated. Except for signatures. Which then makes learning cursive rather important, no? So, I take it back. Cursive...not overrated.

The end.

2. Do you still use a pocket calendar or notepad or do you keep your info on your smart phone?

Well, "still use" would imply that at one point I actually did, indeed, use a paper and pencil calendar. Which, in some conversations, could be true. As in, I tried.

See, I suffer from a little bit of what you'd call "disorganization". And, calendars fall under some form or another of "organization".

But, I'M TRYING! I have been using my iCal and my phone calendar as much as I can!! Is it helping? I dunno, but at least I feel like I'm trying!

3. What 3 things would you save if your house was burning down? (family & pets are already safe)

My computer(s), my camera and...

Um...and. Let's see here...

Erm...ah...lemme think. Well, let's go with the tote full of old photos as my third thing. I mean, gosh...imagine the stuff that's in there, what with pictures like this of me floating around the internet! ;)

4. Country Mouse or City Mouse, err Person?

Once upon a time, I would've laughed AT you if you'd've told me I was gonna be a country dweller.

In fact, remember last week's answer to #5? Well, I spent some time with some high school friends over the 4th. We were chatting, when Tim McGraw's "Where the Green Grass Grows" made it's way around on the iPod.

"Awwww", I said to my buddy A., "This reminds me of high school!"

"Hmmmm...not high school, I don't think. Because I remember you singing it, and you wouldn't have sung this in high school! You were definitely dating Mr. Wonderful!" (See, even my friends call him Mr. Wonderful!) ;)

And, she was right.

But...BUT, what matters is that I am, and will never be anything BUT, a Country Mouse. (I would, however, give my right arm to be a "Country Mouse that Lives on a Lake".)

5. If you could pick ANY reality show to go on, which would you pick?

"Survivor".

No, scratch that...the skeeters would drive me bonkers. Unless, you know, one day they decide to do Survivor in, for example, Windsor Palace. Then, yeah, Survivor.

Since the Royal fam prolly doesn't let weird, blonde, Polish, clumsy girls into their palace, I'll pick "Dancing with the Stars".

Oh, wait. Yeah...clumsy. Nevermind that one.

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH...I KNOW!! "House Hunters on Vacation"! (But, on someone else's dime.)

Actually...know what I'd like to see? I think TLC or HGTV (you know, they've got Dooce, so this could totally work...) should do "America's Next Top Blogger"! How fun would that be?

"American Idol" meets "America's Next Top Model" meets "The Apprentice" meets "Survivor in the Royal Palace" ('cept for that "Royal Palace" bit). So fun.

Okay, peeps...you saw it here first. This is MY idea. Now...to find some investors... ;) Who wants to sign up for *ANTB?

*America's Next Top Blogger

Have a fabulous weekend!
