Five Question Friday

1. Have you ever had surgery?

Nope.  Not unless you count the removal of four impacted wisdom teeth :-) Oh wait - I delivered my children in an operating room...nah...still doesn't count does it?

2. Ever ride in an ambulance?

Yup.  Three years ago April 2.  I was pregnant with the twins and my water broke.  The hospital I was intended to deliver at was unable to deliver babies at such an early gestation so they transported me to another much more qualified hospital {thank heavens}.  That was my first {and hopefully last} ambulance ride.  I remember telling them it was my first time, and that I wanted to hear the sirens.  We joked the whole way to the hospital.

3. How are you in a medical emergency? Panicked? Calm?

I would have to say unusually calm.  This surprises me. {On the inside however, I am freaking the freak out.}

4. Do you have a garden? Flowers or veggies?

Yes, flowers and I hope to have veggies this year.  I had a patio tomato last summer....does that count as a veggie garden? :-)

5. When did you move out of your parents house?

When I was 20.  I moved into an apartment all by myself.  I LOVED that apartment and I really enjoyed living by myself.  A few years later I moved into my husband's house...we weren't married yet...the horror! 

Five Question Friday

1. Have you ever testified in court? For what?

No, thank God.  I would be terrified.  Funny thing is, I work for the courts, but I'm on the correct side of the bench sitting next to the judge.  Lets hope it stays that way.  :-)

2. Do you still have your wedding dress?

Yup.  It's hanging in the spare room closet, not even cleaned or preserved.  She still has missing buttons and red sauce on her.  I had hopes of having a girl that would want to wear it some day.  But obviously I didn't have a girl, and I doubt if I did that she would want to wear it anyway.  Then I thought, I'll have the material made into Baptismal gowns for the boys, well, we never had them baptized.  Something that I still feel horrible guilty about.  

3. Is there a special place you like to go when you're happy, sad, stressed, etc.?

Yes, the refrigerator.

4. If you have kids, do they sleep with you? If you don't have kids...will you let your kids sleep with you when/if you have them?

No way!  This is one thing I was always against.  Now, I have had them sleep with me once or twice when they were sick, but only because I didn't want them waking up the other.

5. Do you watch late night TV?

Ha! What is late night TV? I don't make it past 11.  The hubs and I went out last Saturday and STILL didn't make it that late.  Man I'm old.

 

Five Question Friday

1. Can you drive a stick shift?
Yuppers!!!  My parents required that my sister and I know how to drive a standard in the event of an emergency.  My first car was a standard and then I had a Volkswagon Turbo Jetta several years back that was a standard and lots o'fun.  When I met my husband, he drove this fancy pick-up truck that was all sorts of tricked out, including some sort of special clutch.  We were out at a club and he dared me to drive his truck home.  He didn't think I could do it.  Even his own friends stalled first try.  But I didn't.  He was so impressed.  I'm pretty sure that's when he fell in love with me and knew that I would be his wife some day.
2. What are two foods you just can't eat?
Hmmm, I'm not sure.  I absolutely hate root beer.  I know it's not a "food", but I hate it.  My husband used to like to torture me with root beer barrel candies.  He would suck on them and then blow his breath at me.  Yuck! I can't even deal with the smell.
Oh yeah...and eggs.  I am really not a fan.  And again....the smell.  Ew.  How can you get past the smell prior to placing them in your mouth? 
3. Do you buy Girl Scout Cookies? What is your favorite kind?
Nope, I do not buy Girl Scot Cookies.  Not by choice...I just don't know any Girl Scouts.  And thank heavens I don't because I just love their cookies.  I like the peanut butter chocolate ones, not sure of the official name but dayyum those babies are good.  I could totally polish off the whole box in one sitting.
4. How do you pamper yourself?
I don't really get to do much to pamper myself.  Mostly because of time and lack of funds.  My husband isn't around much in order for me to get out to pamper myself.  I do get my hair cut and colored every 6 weeks {by my sister} but even that appointment is stressful.  I am constantly watching the clock because I need to get home because of my husband.  Oh..and I don't get the luxery of her blow-drying and styling my hair...it takes too much time and you know...I need to hurry and get home.        {As I'm typing this, I can literally feel how dry the bottoms of my feet are by the way they scratch the blanket I'm under. I need a pedicure.  Oh wait, I had one scheduled, but of course had to cancel.}
5. What is your nickname and how did you get it?
Goldylocks of course.  And it's not because I'm {currently} a blonde.  It has something to do with my maiden name.

Five Question Friday ~ November 19, 2010

It's Friday!  Woop Woop!  Time for another installment of Five Question Friday from Mama M. 


1. What Christmas song do you loathe?

I love love LOVE Christmas music.  In fact, I have already dug out my CD's and loaded up the changer in my car :-).  There are a few songs that I loathe. I am not a fan of the silly songs like Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer.  I lean more towards the Christmas songs that celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.  I may get flamed for this...but I absolutely loathe the Christmas Shoes song.  I don't know what it is about that song, but whenever it comes on I have to turn it off.  I just can't stand it.

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

Both.  

3. Have you ever had surgery?

Nope, unless you count when my wisdom teeth were pulled. :-) That was an interesting experience.  My teeth were impacted so the surgeon had some work to do.  The worst part was all of the shots of novocaine.  Once that part was over, I settled in and watched the show via the reflection in the surgeons safety glasses (I know..I'm weird).  After the ordeal, they placed me in a recovery room where I was being watched on camera.  They gave me a shot in my arm that was supposed to help with the swelling and told me, "You might feel a little tingly once the medicine runs through your veins."  Oh, ok then.  What they did not tell me was that WHERE I would feel said tingles would be in an area that is not appropriate to itch while being watched via closed-circuit television.


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

Ugh! I have barely started.  I am a right down to the wire kind of gal, so you will see me out purchasing final items up until December 23rd.

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

Oh my gosh...I really have no idea.  An item?  So it can't be a house.  Because really..if money were not an issue, I would want a brand spankin' new (BIG) house.

Five Question Friday ~ November 12, 2010

Rules for 5QF: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then LINK UP over at My Little Life!!

1. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you?

Child birth.  Honestly, the actual act of birthing was nowhere near as painful as I attempted preparing myself for.  Now, the moments FOLLOWING child birth were excruciating.  {TMI ALERT} I hemorrhaged.  Do you know what they do when you hemorrhage?  Let's just say, that the doctor's hand and arm were up in a place that two human beings just came OUT of.  Nothing, and I mean nothing should be going back IN there.

2. How much sleep do you get at night?

I get about six to seven hours of sleep most nights.  Are they straight six to seven hours of sleep?  No way.  My dear husband gets home from work at approximately 1:30AM.  Although he attempts to remain quiet, he usually is not successful.  It really isn't his fault...I just happen to wake up to the littlest sounds.  I also, for some reason, wake up between 4AM and 4:30AM EVERY.SINGLE.MORNING.  Why? No idea.  It is extremely annoying when you awake in the middle of every night and say to yourself, "Let me guess....it's 4ish o'clock" and you look at the clock and it is.

3. How long did you believe in Santa Claus? How did you find out that he does not exist?

I'm really not sure on this one.  I do not recall when I found out he didn't exist.  It must have not been that traumatic of an experience.  Now, my mother telling me Santa took my "night night" (my blanky as a child), THAT was traumatic.  Hmm, wonder if I should try the Santa story for the boys' binkies?  Would that be mean? 

4. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?

Sex in the City 2.  Funny thing is, I have never watched Sex in the City.  My sister and a girlfriend wanted to go see it and my mom was offering to babysit...so I couldn't pass up babysitting and a few hours to myself.

5. What do you wear to bed?

Depends on the time of year.  I wear a tank, a t-shirt, or a long sleeved top with my under-roos.  I can not wear anything on my legs as I feel like I'm going to get all twisted up.  My p.j. bottoms are next to my bed though for when I get out.
