Meet Me On Monday

1.  What is your favorite kind of muffin?

Mmm.  Blueberry for sure.  But it has to be the kind that has the large chunks of sugar on top.  Oh and warmed up with {REAL} butter slathered on it.  I'm salivating just thinking about it.

2.  What was the first car you ever owned?
I had a 1991 Dodge Daytona.  I loved loved loved that car.  It was even a standard of which I had no clue how to drive...but I didn't care...I was determined to learn {which I did}because I loved it so much.  I used to shove many more people than were allowed in the car.  Man...good times!

3.  Which TV Show were you sad to see end?

Friends.  Oh how I loved that show.  My BFF and I would get together every Thursday night, order a pizza, drink some beers, and watched that week's episode.  {Oh, and I so had the Jennifer Aniston hair-do}

4.  What is your lucky number?
I don't have one.

5.  Pretzels or Potato Chips?

Potato Chips.  Preferably folded plain Lay's.   I'm not really a salt person though.  I would much rather have cookies over chips.

1. Caesar Salad or Garden Salad?
Caesar salad for sure with full fatty dressing...oh.my.yum.  I actually would take any kind of salad if someone else makes it.  Salads always taste so much better when someone else prepares them.
2. Will you be watching the Royal Wedding on April 29th?
Yes! I can't wait!!! I wish I could BE there. As in BE one of the royal attendees.  I wouldn't want to be some servant or anything.  Can you imagine marrying into royalty? Wow.
3. Last thing you spent lots of money on?
A new car!!!  We traded in my dream car for a new Toyota Prius.  The gas savings alone has been totally worth it. :-)
4. Window seat or aisle seat?
Window.  I love to look out and see everything, but I also like to use the side of the plane to rest my head against. LOL
5. Do you know your blood type?
I have no idea.  That's bad isn't it?

Be sure to head over to Never Growing Old to join in the fun!

1.  Crunchy or soft tacos?
Soft for sure.  There is nothing worse than biting into a crunchy tortilla only to be stabbed in the gums. 
2.  Do you scrapbook?
No, I'd love to though.  I once bought all of the supplies years {11} ago to make scrapbooks for my BFF and I for a Florida trip we took.  The photos, souvenirs, scrapbooks, scrapbook papers and embelishments remain in the bag they were purchased in, in a cabinet in my home.  This bag was also moved from my old house to my current house.  Nothing like wasting a ton of money.
3.  Do you take any daily medications?
Yes.  I take a multivitamin, vitamin C, liquid B, D, and a happy pill.  I used to take a birth control pill every day but have since gotten an IUD.  The jury is still out on the IUD.  Ask me again in another month if I like it.
4.  What is your favorite sound?
The laughter of my children of course.  But also the sounds of summer.  Waking to birds chirping, mid-day lawn mowing and the evening sounds of bull frogs and crickets in my back yard.
5.  Where were you born?
Jacksonville, Florida.  {I believe this is why the word y'all is forever in my vocabulary.}

Meet Me On Monday

1. Did you get any Valentine's gifts?
I came home to homemade cookies and a card from the hubs and my boys.  {It's a good thing too as I thought there would be nothing...I was already planning how to terminate his existance if he didn't acknowledge me today.}

2. What is your favorite topping on something toasted?
Raspberry jam with peanut butter.  Yummmmmmm.

3. Do you pick out your outfit the night before?
Not usually.  BC {before children} I used to do this.  Now by the time I collapse into my bed the last thing I'm thinking about is the next day.  I usually think this over while showering in the morning.  I run my closet through my head as well as what items need to be ironed.  I hate it when I go to my closet and the outfit I had planned out in my head is actually in the washing machine because I forgot to switch the clothes over to the dryer before I fell unconscious the previous night.

4. What food item do you absolutely despise?
Wow this is a tough one as I really enjoy food. {See my sidebar to the right...hence the need for weight loss.}  I will try pretty much anything as long as you tell me what it is.  I hate it when someone puts something in front of me with a big smerk on their face saying, "Just try it." I must know what it is.  There are plenty of foods that I do not enjoy, but I can not think of any that deam the despise title. 

5. Righty or lefty?
Righty.

1.  What is your favorite kind of fudge?
Chocolate Walnut...and boy what I would do for some fudge right now.  I've been counting calories for three weeks.  One of the guys from the police department down the hall at work brought these GIANT brownies in last week.  I saw the plate first thing in the morning and haven't stopped thinking about them since.
2.  Is there snow outside your window?
Oh boy there sure is....along with negative temperatures.  Brr.  Why do I live in Western NY you ask?
3.  What is your favorite meal of the day?
Lunch.  Being a full time working mom, Monday through Friday I am at work, and I get to enjoy a quiet peaceful lunch.  A lunch that I can enjoy warm and in it's entirety.
4.  Do you text on your cell phone?
Ha! Do I text? I text, tweet, and facebook.  I barely actually talk on my cell phone.  
5.  Waffles or pancakes?
Pancakes.  My husband makes the best chocolate chip pancakes.  I like waffles a lot too.  But they must be belgian with strawberries and whipped cream.

Meet Me On Monday ~ January 10, 2011

1. Have you (only you..not a group) ever won first place in anything?
Yup, I think it was in the 5th grade.  We had to write a biography about someone.  I chose Marilyn Monroe {because my mom's name is Marilyn}.  The winner {moi} got to choose a t-shirt.  I chose a New Kids On The Block {NKOTB} t-shirt.  It was rad.
2. Are your toes always painted (sorry guys...this question for girls only)?
Yes.  They may not always be FULLY painted though.  Like right now, I need a pedicure.
3. What color eyes do you have?
Blue.  My babies got their looks from their daddy...but they got their blue eyes and their sparkling personalities from their momma.
4. Look to your left....what do you see?
A brick wall {I'm at work}, the kind of walls you see in a prison {again, I'm at work}.  
5. Soft cookies or crunchy cookies?
Totally depends on the cookie.  I like soft homemade chocolate chip cookies, but like hard chocolate chip cookies of they are packaged.  I like Oreo cookies both ways...hard....until I dunk them in milk for 30 seconds {yes, I count to 30 quickly...every single time}and then they are perfectly soft.

Meet Me On Monday ~ December 13, 2010

I found a new meme to take part in now that Just Thursday is gone (ahem, Abby).  Head on over to Never Growing Old (love the name...I feel the same way) and join in the fun!!!

Questions:

1.  How do you order your steak?

I don't really order steak.  I'm a chicken girl.  But if I were lucky enough to actually have a babysitter and a date with my husband and the funds to order steak...I would order it Medium Well.

2.  Are you superstitious about anything?

Oh boy...too many things.  I knock on wood.  I try very hard not to say things that will jinx myself or a situation.  I follow the ear ringing thing to a T.  Right for spite, left for love...both at night lovers' delight.  If my right ear is ringing I make sure to pinch it so that whoever is speaking negatively of me will bite their tongue.


I know, I have problems.

3.  Who is your best friend (not including your spouse)?

I have a few.

My sister Jessica.  Since having children of my own we have become so close.  She is the one I always turn to, the one that knows me the most, the one I speak to every single day.

My girlfriend Barb who left me several years ago to move to glorious North Carolina.  She has two little ones now too.  How much I wish that she lived near so we could hang out while our children play.  I miss her so much.


My girlfriend Courtney.  We have been friends since the sixth grade.  I am her first born's godmother and I was the maid of honor in her wedding.  She now has three children that keep her super busy.  She is also going through a not so pretty divorce.  We don't get to talk or see each other often...which is sad since she moved pretty much around the corner from me this summer.  The thing I love most about our friendship is that we both understand how busy and different our lives are right now.  We don't hold it against each other.  When we do get the chance to talk or see each other, it's as if we just spoke yesterday.  I love her so much.

4.  When is the last time your wore a dress (for the guys...a suit)?

In October, to a dinner that was held at the conference I went to for work.  I love wearing dresses but I usually only wear them in summer or to a fancy event.

5.  Do you have any trips scheduled?

I wish.  My husband and I really need to get away.  Actually...I would LOVE to go on a family vacation.  I do though have plans to visit my BFF in North Carolina (by myself) in February.
