Five Question Friday! 8/10/12

Hey...that's a good, even birthday! Is it weird that my mind works like that? 8-10-12? And maybe an older sibling born on 2-4-06?

Okay, nevermind.


Anyway...gonna be a busy weekend. Finding our "potential" dream home opened our eyes to the updates our home needs if we should decide to put it on the market...among other things, a bathroom that a certain someone *coughMr.Wonderfulcough* needs to finish.

1. Thunder storms- love them or hate them?

LOVE them! Love, love, love them!

Except when they happen out of the blue in the middle of the night and wake my husband from a dead sleep.

When I'm prepared and it's daytime and I'm not driving and I know my family is home safe with me, then YES! A good thunderstorm is awesome.

Mostly because my baby isn't fond of thunder and comes barreling into my arms for me to protect her. Love that snuggle time.

2. Do your kids get back to school clothes

Our kids get a "back to school day" with me...fun stuff, but getting hectic now that I have FOUR to get shopping!

We do school clothes shopping, then out to supper and then a movie...usually followed by a stop at Cold Stone.

I end up gaining 8,000 pounds during this time of the year. Fun meals out, popcorn, candy, pop, ice cream. *burp*

By the last kiddo, I need to buy myself some clothes cuz nothing fits any more! ;)

Actually, I love those times with my kids. One on one. No "other grimy kids" to interrupt. Just fun. Conversation. Laughs.

I highly suggest it!

3. Do you golf? Do you watch it?

No and no. Once upon a time, I tried to golf.

No, that's a lie.

Once upon a time I pretended to golf by joining the high school team but ended up skipping 99% of practices to do what? I dunno what I did or why I skipped...but I couldn't hit the ball anyway, so I'm sure no one missed me.

I golfed with my dad once and he said, "You have a great swing...if only you could hit the ball."

Have I ever told you I'm not athletic?

Well, I'm telling you now. Me + sports = comedy.

4. Showers or baths? 

There was a time in my life, long, long ago (before our tub choked on tub toys) when I enjoyed a long, leisurely bath...then I got out of the habit while our tub was out of commission...but I LOVE baths.

Showers are just so...practical. Hard to relax in a shower when you have to put so much effort into staying up right, you know? 

A tub? Ahhhhh...laying down in a bath with a good book and a cold drink? Lovely. ;)

Hey hon? Could you get that bathroom done?

5. What's the strangest meal you ever ate?

I can't recall a strange meal that I ate...but once, when I was a "tween" except I wasn't called  "tween" because "tweens" didn't exist back when I was a "tween", our neighbor brought over a hunk of freshly grilled meat.

It smelled delicious. Heavenly. And the smell was enough for me to be coaxed into sampling this mystery meat.

Only after my mom and declared how delicious it was did my neighbor chuckle and tell us that we just ate deer heart.

And the bile still rises in my throat when I think about that.

*gag* 

Whatever you do, do NOT accept mystery meat from a neighbor, even if it smells so heavenly you drool when you smell it...you might end up looking like a fool when you proclaim how wonderful it tastes then immediately get clammy, start sweating and gagging when he tells you that you are eating the vital organ of a deer.

Oh dear heavens. Excuse me...I need to vomit.

Have a fabulous weekend, my friends!
