Ten on Tuesday

1. Have you ever used Craigslist?
A few times.  I like it and it's a great way to sell things and find cheap stuff.

2. Can you sew?
A little.  I can do basics only.  I actually have a sewing machine my mom gave me and I know she hopes I will take it up more seriously one day.  She is a quilter and a really, really good one at that. She made the quilt on my bed and the quilts for my kids beds.  Maybe one day I will try it again but for now my scrap booking, origami, and frames are all I can handle.

3. Do you pour syrup on your pancakes or dip your pancakes in the syrup?
I am strange and I put a little over the top then put the rest all around the outside of the stack of pancakes.  I like to then dredge the pancakes through the syrup.

4. Rain storms: Love them or hate them?
I love them as long as I don't have to go anywhere.  I love being at home and watching the rain fall. 

5. Do you like swimming?
Yes! If I had a pool in my backyard I would swim laps every day. 

6. What kind of drink do you order at Sonic?
Diet Cherry Limeade. I love the full sugar cherry limeade but I just can't justify all the sugar.


7. Are you funny?
I think so....  My husband gets the lion share of attention for being funny (and loud).  But I think I'm pretty hilarious sometimes!

8. At what age will your kids get cell phones?
Oooo good question.  James and I were just talking about this a few days ago.  I say not until 13 or 14.  But the convenience of letting them have it younger is appealing.  But I have to say it will NOT be smart phone. 

9. What’s your favorite vegetable?
I really love most veggies.  But if I had to choose my most favorite it would be fresh corn on the cob or asparagus.

10. Were you a Girl Scout?
Nope.  I was Blue Bird (the Camp Fire Girls version of a Brownie) for a year or so when I lived in Colorado as a kid.  We had one big camping trip that I remember going to and I had so much fun.  I also earned a few beads and patches that were sewn onto the Blue Bird vest (which I still have!).

Ten on Tuesday

OK, OK I know I have been MIA for a little over a week.  I was on vacation in Tennessee for my annual family reunion.  It was a fun time and I loved seeing all my extended family.  Hopefully I will get around to blogging about it soon.  But for now my Ten on Tuesday.

1. Do you have an innie or an outie?
Innie.  It's always been an innie even during both of my pregnancies.

2. What kind of milkshake do you order?
Chocolate or if we go somewhere like an ice cream shop I get a chocolate malted!

3. How often do you repeat outfits at work?
Well at my stay at home mom job I don't really repeat outfits.  It's all about what ever is clean and comfortable.  At my new part time weekend job (I just got a job at a company called Portrait Innovations), I have enough outfits to last the month.

4. What are your feelings about thank you notes?
I always try to send them.  I think it's important.  Now I have to admit that since having two children I haven't been as good about it.  Mostly because I intend to do it and then forget.  It's called mommy brain and it sucks!

5. Do you like spicy food?
I have come to LOVE it!! As I've gotten older my taste and tolerance for spicy foods has increased.

6. How many toilet paper squares do you use?
NO clue!  I don't count and really don't care.

7. Were you in Girl Scouts?
Nope.  I did a year as a Blue Bird (the Brownie equivalent in The Camp Fire Girls) when I lived in Colorado.  I still have my little vest with all the patches and beads I earned sewn on!
 
8. Notebooks/Journals: College ruled? Wide Ruled? No lines? Spiral Bound? Plain front? Decorative?
Again what ever I have in front of me is what I use.  I tend to lean toward decorative journals both spiral bound and traditional book bound.

9. Do you snack throughout the day? What do you pack for snacks?
Well since I am at home most of the time I snack with my kids but I eat almonds/nuts or yogurt or fruit.  I also try to keep almonds in purse for a snack on the go.

10. What is your favorite month? Why?
April.  It's my birthday month, Easter (I LOVE Easter Candy), and it's spring here.  And spring is the by far the best time of the year in North Carolina.  It's not too hot yet and all the flowers are blooming.
