Five Question Friday

1. Have you ever testified in court? For what?

    I have never had to

2. Do you still have your wedding dress?

    I did until a few months ago.  I had my Alexis try it on and she looked so 
    pretty in, but she said that it was not her style and so i got rid of it.

3. Is there a special place you like to go when you're happy, sad, stressed,  etc.?
    When I am stressed I would normally go to the fabric store and look through  
    the pattern books and write down patterns that I would like to have.  But 
    now I go to the bookstore and write down books that I want to but one day.

4. If you have kids, do they sleep with you? If you don't have kids...will you let your kids sleep with you when/if you have them?
    When all of my four girls were little, I let them sleep with me.  I know that 
    most people say no.  I do understand the reason why, but knowing, I would
    still do it all over again.  I so cherish those moments of snuggling and
    sharing.  I love when I go get my granddaughters, for I still get to share the 
    bed with the 10 year old (a twin bed at that) and I so look forward to it.

5. Do you watch late night TV?
    Yes, for that is the only time that I can watch when there is no noise and
    everyone is asleep.  I love to watch TV after I have recorded it.

This post was from Mama M Five question Friday.

Five Question Friday

1. Can you drive a stick shift?

    
   Yes, I can.  My first car had a stick shift and it was on the steering column.
    I remember my Daddy taking me out to drive and I was at the intersection       

    of Avenue Q and 34th Street in Lubbock, Texas and the light turns green.    
    Dadd said, "Okay, go."  Well, I had not had to make a turn at a major    
    intersection yet, so I take a deep breath and put my hand on the gear shift.  
    I start out smooth and then my car starts chugging.  Oh, how I wished that 
    the road would open up and swallow me whole.  But My Daddy just sat 
    there and smiled.  Finally, we made it across the intersection.  His way of

    of teaching his kids, was just to sink or swim, so to speak.


   I am so glad that I never asked him to teach me to FLY!!!!

2. What are two foods you just can't eat?

    a.To this day I can not stand to eat boiled squash.  My Mother loved the

    stuff.  It was her policy that if is she had it on the table, you had to at

    least try it.  So what if you tried it the last time she fixed it, it was a new

    day.  Oh, how slimy.  Now I love squash casserole and fried

    squash, but please oh, please do not offer me boiled squash!

    b.Oysters.  On Sunday, we would go out to eat at Seven Seas in Lubbock, 

    Texas.  My Daddy would always get the oysters and once   he had me try 

    them.  You know, pretty shell, salt, why not.  WHY?  Because they also are

    yucky and slimy.  How my Daddy could enjoy those things are still a

    mystery to me today.

3. Do you buy Girl Scout Cookies? What is your favorite kind?

    My favorite type of Girl Scout Cookie was the Mint.  But with 

    my husband on this low carb way of living, cookies are the way

    of the past.  But really, if I wanted some, I suppose I would but some.  The

    last time I did though, I felt cheated.  I wished that I would have just given

    some money as a donation and went into the store and bought cookies.

    There were hardly any cookies in the box for the money.  I know that the

    cookies are good, but there are just not many for the money.   I

    would just feel better giving them money.  So that Is what I would rather

    do now.  But they do make great cookies and I do believe that  the

    Girl Scouts are a great organization for our girls.

4. How do you pamper yourself?

    PAMPER, what is that?  Now, if I were to pamper myself, I would get my 

    sister, Tammy and we would go to a all day spa.  Now this would not be

    a plain spa.  This would be one that did our hair, nails, feet, massage our 

    body.  And in all the midst of this, no phones and no kids.

    But to get down to real life, just a couple of hours in Half Priced Books,

    with my Mandy, in San Antonio, will do for now.

5. What is your nickname and how did you get it?

    As of now I have found out that my youngest daughter, Gabrielle(my little

    pita) has me as PANDA in her cell phone.  And her friends also have me 

    listed as PANDA.  So I am hoping that this is not meaning something ugly.

    But with an almost 15 year old, what can one say.  Hopefully, it doesn't

    mean that I am fat, but cuddly.

Five Question Friday

1. Have you worn the same outfit more than one day in a row? Only if I am staying home.  But I have been known to wear the same thing more than once, especially my jeans.

2. If you had to choose any LARGE city to live in, which would it be?  San Antonio, TX.  

3. Fly or drive with the kids on vacation?  Absolutely drive, I can not imagine having to carry all their stuff.

4. What is your idea of "spring cleaning"?  Starting in the laundry room and clean out everything and ending up with the base boards. Then on to the other rooms.  This is a great time to purge.

5. What is the best book you have ever read?  Aside from the Bible, I love would have to say that almost all the books I read would fall in the category of great.  What can I say, I love to read.
