5 Question Friday!

1.  Do you embrace or dread snow/cold weather days? I admit, I'm like a kid when there's a big snowstorm in the forecast.  But when it's here I CAN NOT STAND IT.  I don't mind the bitter cold so much, as long as it doesn't stick around long and I don't have to be out and about a ton.

2.  Which game show or reality show could you totally win?  I just told my mom the other night that I really need to be on Wheel of Fortune.  Love that show.

3.  What is your preferred climate?  I love where I live - as much as I complain about snow in the winter and the humidity in the summer, I really do love experiencing all 4 seasons.

4. What do you buy every time you walk into the grocery store, no matter what?  Lately, cheese and pepperoni.  It is my go-to low carb snack and I love it!  You should see the stash of cheeses I have in the fridge...

5.  If you see a spider/bug in the house, are you brave enough to kill it, or do you call for your hubby?  Hubby, ha!  I usually scream and freak out and then find something to kill it with.  Sometimes I try to get my dog to eat it but she is too humane to do that.  Last summer my mom brought home this super awesome tennis racket looking thing that electrocutes bugs!  Sometimes I would get smoke - those were the best. :)

5 Question Friday!

1.  Flu mist?  Flu shot?  Or take your chances?  Flu shot - always!  I've heard way too many people say that with a flu shot, they either don't get the flu OR the symptoms are less severe than those who didn't get a shot.  I'm a firm believer in the flu shot!

2.  Do your kids have iPads?  What are some good educational apps?  Price?  Don't have kids, but i have an iPad!  If I'm blessed with kids Super Moms Rachel and Amanda will be my go-to Moms for good apps.

3.  What are your favorite girl/boy names?  I used to love the name Ava for a girl.  Even now that I've taught and met a few Ava's, I haven't met one I didn't like. I also liked Addison for a girl.  In college I was drawn to boy names that ended in "son".  Grayson, Bryson, Jackson, Emerson, etc.  Now, I don't really care.. popular, trending, original, top 1,000.... ultimately I'd like for the name to be Biblical and/or have some sort of family meaning.

4.  If "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", what apple do you choose to eat? I'm a Macintosh girl, or Pink Lady.

5.  What is your favorite place to escape to for peace and quiet, to think?  Why?  I'm a big fan of either "The Wall" on Ocean Avenue in New London, or going out to Stonington Point in Stonington Borough.  I was just there earlier this week.  I do a lot of talking with and listening to God when I'm there.  I prefer Stonington because there's a lesser chance of running into someone I know while I'm there.  I don't know why, but I'm drawn to water when I need some intense time with God.

it's back! for today anyways...

1. What movie do you love to quote? If you're around me for more than a few minutes, chances are I will quote one of the following movies: Dumb & Dumber, Christmas Vacation or Elf.

2. Have you ever ridden a motorcycle? Yes - but nothing exciting. My aunt & uncle came down to my parent's house one afternoon a few years ago on his Harley and I happened to mention in passing I had never been on one. Scariest experience of my life... and he only went about 25mph.

3. What's your favorite thing to do on a rainy day? Sleep. Although lately it would be school work, then sleep.

4. Do you prefer a bunch of small gifts, or one really big (expensive) gift? My family has never been big on gift giving, so it doesn't matter much to me. My parents informed me this week that their gift to me this Christmas is going to be new tires for my car, and I was super excited. Opening gifts on Christmas and my birthday isn't what my parents have made those days about.

5. Do you ever lose track of days and end up somewhere wrong? Not yet! Even on crazy schedules with elementary schools. A few years ago I split a 5 day rotation between 4 schools and not once did I ever make a mistake. Great, yes... but I'd love to have a good stry to tell! :)

Five Question Friday!

I'm a bad, bad blogger.

In order to have a regular, weekly post, I'm linking up with Mama M for 5 Question Friday! I'm hoping this will get me to blog at least once a week!

1. Have you ever had surgery?

I have had minor, day surgery. About a year and a half ago I had my gallbladder removed. I reported to the hospital at 6am and I was home by Noon. I dealt with the pain for about 3 years thinking it was an ulcer. Not having that pain any longer is AMAZING!

2. Ever ride in an ambulance?

I have not!

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

I can't think of a medical emergency that I have had to take part in... but I think I would be calm. For me, the panic and stress usually sets in a bit after the emergency occurs.

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

Um, Poppa Muck has a garden! He does an elaborate vegetable garden every year and has already started his 2011 garden! Living at home makes me a lucky beneficiary! Tomatoes, Squash, Cucumbers, Lettuce, Spaghetti Squash, Beets, Eggplant... those are the regulars. This year he is trying to grow BRUSSEL SPROUTS!!! yumma!

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

ha! I moved into a house with 2 close guy friends in East Hartford in the spring of 2004. After graduating from college I decided I wanted to get a job closer to home and moved home "temporarily" in January 2005. Now, that was over 6 years ago. **SIGH**.
