                                              the little things we do     

1.   My favorite daily responsibility is,  keeping my house clean from the kitchen to the living room to the bedrooms and ending up with the bathrooms

2.  My least favorite daily responsibility is,    trying to keep the house clean when Gabrielle and her friends come over.

3.  My favorite cuisine to eat when going out is    a buffet.  That way I get to eat things that I don't cook at home due to my husbands eating of low carb.

4.  My favorite cuisine to prepare at home is     Mexican with the tacos, enchiladas and chalupas.  I also love making the avocado dip and homemade chips and hot sauce.

5.  Andy Warhol said that everyone is famous for 15 minutes. My claim to fame is    I am not really sure how to answer this one. I have never felt like I was famous, unless you would consider being the bride, giving birth to beautiful babies famous. 

6.  If I could have 3 wishes I would wish      that my house would stay clean, I lived in San Antonio, TX and I owned my very own bookstore of mysteries and Christian books.

7.  My biggest pet peeve is  being late.  There is no reason to be late unless you have babies.  I know some of you will think that this is unreasonable, but I have never understood why some people make it a habit to be late.

1.   My biggest accomplishment in life thus far is  raising four beautiful daughters.  Our first daughter, Mandy is married and has two delightful and charming daughters that I get for the summer.  Our second daughter, Bridgett will be getting married before June and has our one and only grandson, who is all boy.  Our third daughter, Alexis is 17 and is always on the go somewhere. Then there is our Gabrielle, who will turn 15 in May, and she is our ball of fire.  Never still and has an opinion on just about everything.

2.  My favorite place to sit in my house is at my desk on my computer or in the recliner in the living room with a good book. 

3.  My fashion philosophy is  not to fancy, just comfortable.  I do enjoy wearing skirts and blouses.  I also enjoy adding a little texture and pattern.  I find it hard at 56.  For I don't want to dress like an old woman, but then I don't want to dress too young for myself.  What is a person to do.

4.  Something every girl should have is a pair of good shoes, expensive perfume and a good handbag.

5.  If you looked in my purse right now you'd find....   my billfold, band-aids, ponytail holders, checkbook, brochure on clarisonic, small pouch with B-12(from Bee-Alive)supplements, pouch with mints, chap stick, fiber one bar, 2 lip gloss, 2 pens,6 packs of gum, clicique fold down brush, bottle of tylenol, envelope of coupons, fabric covered tissue pack, car keys, hand cream, disinfectant spray(to spray on the toilet seats), 3 small tablets, clorox disinfecting wipes, neosporin lip balm,  mentos chewing gum, cell phone, and I normally have a seek-a-word and a book.  The last two had been taken out.  Yes, I do carry alot, but I am always prepared.  I carry floss and hand sanitizer in my car.  Don't laugh!! 

6.  My favorite music right now is soft, easy and relaxing.  I love to listen to Christian music with a little bit of a beat, but for now, I really don't listen to much.

7.  My favorite part of my body is  feet.  I got my Mother's feet.  Narrow.  I really like them when I have gone and had a pedicure and had Kelly put polish on them.  I am very careful to keep my feet soft with the lotions and keeping them scrubbed well.  Now the rest of the body is another matter all together.

Fill in the Blank Friday

This fun series is from Lauren, over at the little things we do.  So without another moment, here are the questions and my answers.

1.   The TV show/website that I watch/read that I would be embarrassed to tell anyone about is:  This one is easy,  I really don't read, web search or watch anything that I would be embarrassed for anyone to know about.

2.  An item of clothing that is worn and torn but that I love far to much to throw away is :  I tend to get rid of torn clothing.    

3.  My grocery store impulse buy is  : I love to stop by the meat counter and check out the good buys 

4.  Something I do at work to pass time that I wouldn't want my co-workers to know about is : I have the great privilege of being a housewife.

5.  One thing in my life that I could give up, but never will is : My Diet Dr. Pepper.

6.  A little indulgence that I have is : When I visit San Antonio to see my daughter, I love getting the Julio Chips.  You can only get them in Texas and they are so awesome.

7.  The junk drawer/area in my house is : In my kitchen.  No matter how often I clean it out, someone always messes it up and that person is not me!

What guilty pleasures are you indulging in this weekend?

Fill in the blank Friday

1. Winter is  -  cold, the days are shorter and it is a time to celebrate Christmas with family.  Also a time for baking new recipes that I have been itching to make.
2. Summer is  - hot, uncomfortable, but a joy.  This is the time that I look forward to all year, for this is the time that I get to have my grand-daughters from Texas for at least 4 - 6 weeks.
3. If it were summer instead of winter right now  -  I'd be having fresh tomatoes on my table daily, a pool full of our grandchildren and also my sister's grandchildren.  My freezer would also be full of Popsicles.
4. My favorite thing to do in winter is  -  to get our girls off to school, have my house and laundry done, so that I can cuddle up with a blanket, a good book and a ice cold diet dr. pepper.
5. My favorite thing to do in summer is  - going to Texas and getting our grand-daughters and having time with our two oldest daughters while there.
6. The ideal outfit for a sunny summer day is  -  a cotton shirt and skirt, with a pair of sandals on my feet.
7. The ideal outfit for a frigid winter day is  -  a pair of sweats, sweatshirt and socks on my feet.  This is only if I am staying at home.  If I go out, I would have a pair of jeans, sweatshirt, socks, Reebok's and a coat on.
