****************************************************************************
1. What's your guilty pleasure?

Humm, that is a hard one...I would have to say my iPhone. With it, I hardly ever get on the actual computer anymore, hence the lack of blogging lately. :( I can FaceBook, blog and blog hop from it. I love it! My next would be Dirty Dancing! I love me some Dirty Dancing!!! I have the vhs and dvd, yet every time it comes on tv, cable or not, you will find me sitting and watching it! Uh, like right now...hehe.

2. What is your favorite TV series?

There are a few actually. We of course dvr them all. I like Desperate Housewives, Extreme Home Makeover, LOST, (I love to hate it and hate to love it!)19 Kids and Counting and Highschool Reunion. I have a love hate relationship with the Bachelor and Bachelorette too. I can take it or leave it though.

3. Can you speak any foreign languages?

Haha...I wish you could call it that. I can understand some but hardly speak it at all. I can read it better than understand spoken or speak. So, I will go with no. Sadly I do not.

4. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Can I plead the 5th or just say..."enough" and leave it at that? Hehe. Actually, since having children, I have toned down my shoe fettish. BUT, I am guilty of having a children's shoe fettish now. Humm. I do have quite a few pairs though. My new favorites are my black Uggs though. I. Love. Them. 'Nuff said.

5. What's your favorite kind of M&M's...peanut, almond, straight up regular, etc.?

I am really not a huge fan of candy. That said, I like the little mini M&M's and I will eat the individual sized bag occasionally of the plain M&M's or the peanut M&M's. There is something about going to the movies though, I have a desire to have peanut M&M's then. (with a pickle!)

5 Question Friday

These were the questions and here is what you are supposed to do. Copy and paste them to your blog then go back to her post, if you like and link up to join the fun. I think I might try to do this weekly. What do ya think? Sound fun?

1. Do you sing karaoke? If so, what is your go to song?

2. What is your favorite coffee drink?

3. If you could choose your own name, what would it be?

4. Were you ever bullied?

5. How often do you eat fast food?

Alrighty, here we go...

1.Do you sing Karoke? Oh boy. I should probably plead the 5th here. Other than at home, you know we have Rock Band right, I would normally never so much as consider singing in front of other people. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE TO SING. But wait, I NEVER said I COULD sing. So...here is where it gets good...Once upon a time, not so long ago, my hubby and I got to go out with some couples friends for a few of our friends birthdays. And guess where we went?!? Yep, to a karoke bar. I NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES (short of having a few bottles of liquid confidence)WOULD CONSIDER SINGING IN PUBLIC. Well, guess what? I joined the ladies for a few numbers, started out in the very back of the crowd, next song, moved closer to the front, mic in hand then BEGGED (YES BEGGED) a very friendly man we met that night, to sing a duet with me!!! For the record, Thank God his wife made him leave before that train wreck had a chance to happen! So to make a short story long...YES, I sang karoke and while out that night, informed my husband that we needed to do that weekly! Ha! Oops, I was supposed to say what song too. Humm, at home for Rock Band it is Free Fallin, Shot thru the Heart, Dead or Alive, Summer of 69 and Two Princes. That fateful night, it was Baby got back (come on, get up off of the floor, it was not THAT funny), Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and the one I begged the guy to sing with me (which he agreed to do before his wife drug him home) was Summer Nights. That would have been BAD! Hehe

2. What is your favorite coffee drink? Easy. NONE. I cannot stand coffee.

3. If you could choose your own name, what would it be? Oh wow, really? Humm, when I was younger, I was dying for my name to be Jennifer! I do not know why but I wanted to be Jennifer. My mother said that she almost named me Valarie!!! What? I look nothing like a Valarie, I have tried to picture it, Valarie, Val, Rie...uh, no thanks. It is not for me. Not that I love my name as it is, but thank the good Lord above, an aunt and an uncle, and I am NOT Valarie! Now...Humm, I really do not know. When we name our people on our Rock Band tour, I usually choose some cool flashy name, like Jaysmine, Jade, Sasha or something like that but I really do not feel like those fit either. I will have to think on this one, sorry to disappoint but nothing comes to mind. I do not really see myself with another name even though I am not fond of the one I have.

4. Were you ever bullied? As a young child, yes, by our neighbor. Her name was Kelly and she was my age but she was smaller than me. I remember that she was one mean little girl, I remember she had blonde hair that always looked messy. I also remember her being at my 5th birthday party. What were my parents thinking? I can remember coming home crying because of something she had done to me, pushed me, hit me, shoved me or whatever and my parents (lovely roll models, LOL) telling me that if she hit me, to "hit her back." I remember walking over to her house and telling her just that, "My parents told me that if you hit me again, to hit you back! WAAAAAAHHHH!!!" *running home crying* "She hit me again!"

As a teen and adult, uh...you must not know me very well. Let us just say that Kelly made me tough and after her, NO ONE has pushed me around or bullied me!

5. How often do you eat fast food? Humm, what do you consider fast food? Burger places, hardly ever, Taco Bell weekly, Chipotle every other day, well ok, maybe not every other day but at least 2 times a week. Some weeks we have pizza from our favorite little pizza place in town, you remember the one.

Okie dokie...I am out of here...

Now, go over to see Mama M and take a peek at everyone elses's 5 Question Friday posts! And make sure to link up and join us for some fun.

Ok...so maybe I am a lame cheater?

I have not posted since last Monday? Seriously? Geez. Sorry. Anyway, back to the lame cheater part. I have been blog hopping this morning, you know, because I have hours to sit and do nothing this morning. Nothing better to do. Ha! Yea right. I commented on a post in a community that I belong to and got a few visitors. One of the ladies was nice enough to leave me a link back to her blog and I found this...ok, so the cheater part...today is not Friday and I needed a quick blog post to let you know I was still alive. So here we go. She does a thing at her blog called Five Question Friday and it looked fun.



These were the questions and here is what you are supposed to do. Copy and paste them to your blog then go back to her post, if you like and link up to join the fun. I think I might try to do this weekly. What do ya think? Sound fun?

1. Would you ever vacation alone?


2. Do you go the speed limit?


3. Why did you start blogging/following blogs?


4. Where do you shop for yourself?


5. What was the song that you danced your first dance with your spouse to at your wedding...or...what song would you like your first dance to be to?

So...here are my answers.


1. Would you ever vacation alone?

Humm, well...actually, I probably would have at a different time in my life. I would not now because I would not want to leave my wonderful husband or our children at home. I would love to go on a get away with just my hubby, but when the kids are older. Back before Boog came along, when the other two were older, we took weekend get aways sometimes monthly or at least every few months. Boy have times changed! I cannot imagine leaving my two little sweeties over night, muchless for a weekend!

2. Do you go the speed limit?

My answer is complicated here. I mostly do the speed limit. On the freeway, I might go about 5 mph over but not usually more than that. Sometimes I go faster. In more residential(ish) areas, I nearly always go the speed limit. So...my answer is mostly.

3. Why did you start blogging/following blogs?

Wow...let me see. I started following blogs when a friend of mine gave me the link to hers so that I could see her daughter's halloween costume. At that time, I really was not aware that there were actual blogs that were like a website. Duh!?! I thought they were just mainly something that people did on myspace under the blog section. Haha. Look how far I have come. I think that was a little over 2 years ago. Maybe 3 but I cannot remember. As for starting a blog, I started one in early 2008 when I was pregnant with Tutti-Frutti but really did not do much with it. I did not know what to write about, what to post pictures of, if anyone would even read it. I started actually giving the address out to family in emails when they would email to ask how we have been and for me to send them some pictures of the kids. I used to put albums up on snapfish all of the time and then email them all links and it was draining at times. I had to remember to make sure that EVERYONE got the email invite to view the pictures or I was toast. If someone got it and not someone else, there was major explaining to do. This ended up being a lot easier for me to keep up with. Until Tutti-Frutti got mobile that is! I decided to try to keep up with it because it is a great place for far away family and friends to catch up on what is going on with us and see recent pictures of the kiddos.

4. Where do you shop for yourself?

Shop for myself? Seriously?!? I do not really shop for myself but I guess when I do it depends on what I am buying. I shop at Bath and Body Works because I love their body washes and lotions, I love Old Navy and Kohl's for clothes, and I love me some Target! I do not even have to have a reason to go to Target, but I usually do not end up buying myself anything there. I really only buy things for the kids unless I JUST NEED something.

5. What was the song that you danced your first dance with your spouse to at your wedding...or...what song would you like your first dance to be to?


Are you kidding? I am Baptist, we do not dance! Har dee har har! Ok, seriuosly I was raised Baptist and as a general rule, they do not dance, I do! But, as for a wedding dance, it did not happen. We got married in Vegas! Woo hoo! We love to dance though, some of my fondest memories from early in our relationship are of us dancing. Not necessarily to soft, sweet, slow songs though! Ha! As a matter of fact, we danced just last night. If I had to pick a slow, sweet song for a dance with my husband, it would probably stress me out. There are a lot of great songs for that. My mind just seems to have drawn a blank right now. Get back with me later if you really really want an answer to what my all time favorite soft sweet slow dance with my wonderfully sexy husband would be.

Hey, that was actually pretty fun. Maybe I should have a Q&A post sometime. What do you think? Leave a comment if you would like to see that happen and tell me what you want to know. Humm, I could be asking for serious trouble!

If you enjoyed this, head over to My Little Life and let Mama M know, you should give this a try too, it was fun and I did not have to come up with something new and orginal today! Yay, it was a win/win!
