FQF 9/17/10

So I haven't done one of these for a while so I decided to jump in this week. Interested, then hop on over here to join in.

1. What is the first nightmare you remember?
it's kind of weird but, its about this train. I was sitting at the station waiting on the train to come and somebody walks in front of it. They don't get killed but, it's like really close. I was like 6 or 7 when I had that dream. Funny thing is it freaked me out so bad that it became one of those recurrent dreams. My mom even remembers it.

2. Even if you're not a sports fan, what's your favorite sport to play/watch? Well, I'm not a huge sport fan but, 8 years of marching band ( no it didn't take me that long to get out of high school that's counting college) kind of made me be a football watcher. Then of course marrying my high school sweetheart, who was also in the band and loves football did not help. Short answer Football. Who dat! (just in case you are wondering my favorite team)

3. If you could pull off one piece of trendy fashion, what would you want it to be (jeggings, hats, thigh high boots, etc.)? Hats, I love hats but, having a head full of locs doesn't qualify me to be able to just pick up any hat I want.

4. Did you make good grades in school? What do you consider good? Okay let me quit playing.... Yes, I did. Now I was no National Merit scholar but, I graduated after all.

5. What magazines do you subscribe to? That should be what magazines don't I subscribe to.. Not having a television in the house you have to do something other than housework. I was notorious for buying magazines from every little kid who is selling them as a fundraiser. (don't come to my house selling magazines please. I did say was) Anyway, those magazines seem to keep coming. My youngest is now four and I still get Parenting, not sure how many times I renewed that one. I think Mothering is my page turner though. Of course I really like This Old Schoolhouse as well. What La Leche League leader doesn't love New Beginnings which is now online. I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on about this one but, I won't. I love reading and if I can finish a mag it seems like I have accomplished a book sort of.

There is nothing like Five question Friday. Want to join link up to Mama M. Here are this weeks questions.

1. Have you ever hit an animal with your vehicle? I have to honestly say that I have.....for sure hit an animal with my vehicle. I have never caused animal-slaughter though. I am pretty sure every one of them I hit was already dead. I have never had an incidence with a domesticated animal that had been sitting there too long.

2. When you see a string on your clothes do you pull it off or cut if off? It depends on what it is. I mean what would I look like pulling strings that kept raveling and raveling and raveling off anyway. I will pull a string off of the kids clothes in a minute. I am just not as carefree with my own

3. Did you have your own room or share a room when you were young? Well, I grew up an only child until I was 13. I not only had my own room I also had my own playroom as well. Even after my baby sister was born I still was able to keep my own room until I moved out. Of course the play room, which I hadn't played in for some time at that point, was utilized for a a nursery.

4. Would you rather wear the same thing for the rest of your life or eat the same thing for the rest of your life? I will wear the same thing for ever and ever. I don't do well on the monogamy of the same thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The idea of it is boring me right now.

5. What was your favorite TV show as a child? I would like to say I can just pick one. Man there is the Cosby Show, different wold, Punky Brewster, Rainbow Brite, Smurfs, Blossom, Different Strokes.....Let's just say I liked television a lot more than I care to admit now.

5QF 2/12/10

Well, I have been absent from the blog world for a couple of weeks and now I'm back. School started for me and things got a little crazy. Here is another five question Friday from MamaM over at My little life. Nothing like a little meme action to get me back started.

1. What is the one thing your love does for you that you can't live without?
Oh this is so sexy.... fifteen years of marriage and it will be sexy to you too. He watches the kids so I can get a break anytime I like. This is a pg rated page. What did you think I was going to tell?

2. When did you know your love was "the one"?
Well, we were in band together all through high school and when he was back visiting after he had graduated and I saw him again....well the rest is history.

3. Does your love have a special ringtone on your cell?
No, he doesn't call that much. He is a texting kind of man when he is at work.

4. What are you attracted to most in your special someone?
Those LL Cool J lips.....mmmm. Plus no matter how mad I get at him he always can manage to make me smile.

5. Did you know when/where he/she was going to pop the big question?
Yes, it was not a big surprise. We knew we were on our way down the isle pretty soon after we started dating. (we officially dated for 71/2 months)

It's time for another five question Friday. If you want to get in on this one head over to MamaM and link up. So here we go:

1.Worst trouble you ever got in when you were a teenager?

I was not a bad teenager. I stayed too busy. I was always at band practice, church, or home.

2. Are you a morning or a night person? I am an all night person. I don't ever go to bed before twelve. I can be a morning person if I am coaxed with a wonderful thing called coffee but, before then I can be very cranky. I am lucky to not have early risers. My kids get up when I wake them. They get up if I wake them at 6 or 10. They can be sleepy heads when they want to be though.

3. Are you a one-handed or a two-handed Texter? lol I had to grab a phone and send a text to see the answer to this one. I am a one-handed texter. I have a super cheapo phone and I am very proud of my texting abilities.

4. Democrat, Republican, or Independent..or maybe even Green Party (whatever that is). No, no, and no. I never vote just because of party lines. It depends on the person and the issues they support or don't support.

5. Are you a pet person? Yes, I think I can be classified as a pet person. I love cats more than dogs though. We don't have a house cat right now because we have Rocco who does not like cats very much. He is mainly Precious' pet but, he does get the love of the entire family. With the more kids I have, I am becoming more and more of a fish person though.

Well, that was another five question Friday. Three weeks in a row. Not that bad I must say.

It's Friday so it's that time again for Five question Friday. Do you want to join in well get it from MamaM over at My Little Life. So far it has been pretty fun.

Questions for Friday, 1/8/10:

1. What's your "comfort food"?
Let's see what is my "comfort food"? I have to say three words. Cho co late I absolutely unequivocally love that stuff. I don't even care how I get it these days. Now my newest way to IV my cho co late is by this stuff. It is quite deadly for your average chocoholic. I bought it to have a healthy alternative to my cherrios. You know all whole grain and stuff. The fact that it was on clearance at Kroger this past week for only $1.99 had nothing to do with it. :)

2. Do you send Thank You's (handwritten or email)?
That depends entirely on what it is I am thanking them for and who it is. If it's my mom she gets neither. She would look at me like I was crazy if I sent her something. She likes the verbal kind and she's good. If it is one of my online friends they will get a cute little thank you card from one of the free spots. If it's someone else it will be a handwritten one. I used to make my own cards and I was always eager to send one of my creations out but, now I have a small box of cheapo cards in my desk drawer. I think it is the gesture that serves the purpose anyway.

3. If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?
Okay, those of you who know me know we don't watch tv. Just the occasional movie now and then so I have to go by the bits and pieces that I get at my moms house or my days of tv. I think I would be on biggest looser for a month. They can do wonders with just a month and I need a jump start on my diet.

4. What is your favorite online recipe site?
Depends on what I am looking for. I normally good search until something good and easy pops up. I think I normally get something off cook.com. I really like to get stuff from Emeril's site but, I can't ever find half of his ingredients. By the time I substitute this or that I have an entirely different recipe. I tend to just use one of my cookbooks. Yes, call me old-timey or even country. I like paper cookbooks. I really like the ones made by somebody's church. They are the best if they don't include all of those prefab recipes.

5. If you had to choose: "Friends" or "Seinfeld"?
Okay these two shows were from my days of television watching. I never got too keen on Friends but, I thought Seinfeld was a hoot. Especially since I was in high school and my band director made a Seinfeld music arrangement for our jazz band. Ole Mr. Fox. That brought back some memories. :)

Hope you are having a great Friday,
SHALOM,
TONI

I was reading some blogs and I ran across five question Friday. Seems fun. Let's see how long I keep it up.

The questions for today are:

1.If you could bring one character to life from your favorite book, who would it be?
Well I am one of those weird people who does not have a favorite book. I read and read and read and whatever I just finished is my favorite book. I would however love to have Mary Poppins here with me. Man, she had it together and could sing and dance too.

2.Where did you get your very first kiss?
I don't think you are supposed to kiss and tell. Isn't there some rule against that or something? It was in my mother's living room and only just a peck.

3.How did you welcome in the New Year?
I am an old fogey I guess. We just spent some time with the kids eating pizza and cookies and when the clock struck we said whoooooooo!! Happy new year!! Okay all of you guys better get in bed now because we have lots of stuff to do tomorrow morning.
At least I let them stay up I guess. I was sleep by 12:45 which is very unusual for me.

4.What is your favorite Beatles' song?
you just can't pick one. What kind of question is that?

5. Donuts: overrated, underrated or 'bout right?"
Depends on the kind. When I lived on the coast, I absolutely loved Tato nuts. They were donuts made from potatoes and were the bomb. Those were totally underrated. When it comes to Shipley's which is here in Tupelo I guess they are 'bout right. to me Krispy Kreme is overrated. Of course everybody has their own opinion on that.

That was fun maybe I will remember to do it next week!
