Five Question Friday 3-18-11

YAY!  It is Friday!  This has been the longest week ever.  I think it has something to do with the time change.  Knowing that it is an hour later than it should be drives me nuts. 

Here are this week’s questions.

1. Have you ever testified in court? For what?
I have not had to testify in court.  I have had to make a depostion in a lawyer’s office before.  I was involved in an accident several years ago where I hit a little boy that ran out into the road.  Everything turned out okay and it was settled out of court.

2. Do you still have your wedding dress?
Well, N and I aren’t married yet.  My mom has my wedding dress though.  We had a few dates that fell through.  She made my dress so it is at my parents house.

3. Is there a special place you like to go when you’re happy, sad, stressed, etc.?

I can’t say that I do have a special place anymore. When I was little I would come home from school put my school stuff down and go outside and climb my tree.

This is not a picture of me in my tree.  I couldn’t find that picture.  This is from 2008 when my parents came to visit and we went to Kennesaw mountain.

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?
We don’t have kids.  I don’t know if we will let them sleep with us.  I guess it depends on them.  Like what if we have a child that has nightmares?  Then they will probably sleep with us.  I guess that is something we have to find out when we get there.

5. Do you watch late night TV?
Yes, we do.  We are night owls and don’t really sleep at night.  If you don’t have cable it can suck.  Like it did in Illinois at my parents house.  We would watch late night Fox.  Our Fox channel would have Scrubs and other comedies on.   We would also play playstation. Usually Tony Hawk.

I hope you have enjoyed my answers.  Have a great week!

Update on Baby Alexis

This is Alexis.  Please continue to pray for her since she still has a long way to go.  I will continue to keep you updated on her progress.  Please continue to keep her beautiful momma Ashley in your prayers as well.  She is having a difficult time right now.  Not because of the stress of the baby, but because of some mean comments from some stupid people.  Please take my Prayers for Baby Alexis button and proudly display that you are praying for this little girl.

HOO Are You 3/15

Thanks so much for keeping baby Alexis in your prayers.  She is doing great.  Ashley gets to come home tomorrow.  She will be traveling from her home in Southern Illinois to St. Louis Missouri to see the baby.  Please continue to keep them both in your prayers.

Here is this week’s Hoo Are You?

NightOwlCrafting

1. What are a couple of your favorite green foods?

Umm, I like shredded lettuce for salads, green apple jolly ranchers and I think that is about it.  I don’t eat too much green stuff. My salad lettuce has to be completely covered in ranch dressing anyways, so it is more white than green.

2. Do you decorate for St. Patrick’s Day?

Well, kind of.  We have St. Patrick’s day hand towels in out bathroom.

3. Do you have Irish in you?

I don’t, but I think N does. 

4. Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

Not really.  I always thought it was a mean holiday.  If you don’t wear green you get pinched?  That is just mean.  I will be wearing my awesome green nail polish this year though!!

5.Use one word that represents each letter in the word LUCK in your life!

L- love
U- Understanding
C- Cats
K- I can’t think of anything beside kids and that won’t work because N and I don’t have kids.

Are you ready for Spring?  This cherry blossom tree is adorable.

What a great way to show off your team spirit!  This wreath is so cool and you could make it in your favorite pro, college, or high school team colors.

This fabric wreath is so easy and plus there is a great recipe with this one!

Button for Alexis

I have created a prayer button for baby Alexis.  She was born 3/11/11  at 25 weeks.  That’s four months early.  I would put pictures of her up, but I do not have permission from her momma, my friend Ashley.  Alexis has a long road ahead of her.  She was 1 1/2 pound at birth.  Please take the prayer button and pray for this tiny baby girl.  I will post updates about her as I get them.

5 ? Friday

I found a new question linky party today.  It is called 5 ? Friday.  Before I start though I would like to add a little update to the prayer request I posted a couple of days ago.  My friend Ashley had her baby girl today.  Baby Alexis was born four months early.  She is one and a half pound.  Please continue to keep Ashley and Alexis in your prayers.  This is a diffucult time for them. Thanks again!

1. Do you know what your REAL hair color is?

Yes, it is a medium brown.

2. Do you plan ahead for summer, or fly by the seat of your pants?

We usually fly by the seat of our pants.  If we plan something it is more than likely a week before.

3. What is your favorite meal to cook?

My go to meal when I can’t think of anything else is tater-tot casserole.  It is really easy to make.  All you do is brown a package of hamburger, drain, add a can of mushroom soup (although I have used cheese soup before) a packet of taco seasoning, mix that together.  Pour into a casserole dish and dump a bag of tater-tots on top.  Bake it at 350 for about 45 minutes.  At 30 minutes pour some shredded cheese to the top or you can make a cheese sauce and pour that on the top.  Then let it cook for the remaining 10 minutes.

4. Do you get offended by not receiving thank yous?

No.  However I do find that when you go to a bridal or baby shower and you fill out your own thank you card envelope offensive.  It seems very impersonable to me. 

5. How did you meet your best friend?

N and I met my senior year of high school.  Some friends set us up for homecoming.  We have been together ever since.  This was almost 11 years ago.  I love him so much!
Caryn and I met when she moved to my hometown because her father became the pastor of my church.  She was a sophomore and I was a junior.  We have been through some tough times, but we always know that the other one is there when needed.  I haven’t seen her in three years.  She lives in Chicago and I am in Atlanta.  We can’t seem to get into visit our parents at the same time.
Sarah and I met in fifth grade.  We have been best friends since sixth grade.  We have been through so much together.  We haven’t seen each other in a very long time, but we have always been able to catch up right where we left off.  She lives in Baton Rouge and has for a long time. 
Another best friend is my momma.  I may not have considered her one of my best friends while I was growing up, but since I moved out I definitly do because I miss her every day.  I can always call her when I need something.  Moms are like that.  They have given up their lives for yours. 
I hope you have enjoyed my 5? Friday.

Wee Bit Wednesday 3/9/11

Before I start with my answers today,  I would like to ask you to keep my friend Ashley in your prayers. Ashley and I have been friends since Junior high.  She went into pre term labor today and has been transferred to a hospital in St. Louis Missouri.   The doctors have been giving her meds to stop labor.  Please keep Ashley and baby Alexis in your prayers.  Thanks so much!

Here are today’s questions:

{one} what color is your kitchen?

Well, I N and I live with his parents, so our kitchen is white.  When we have our own place I want our kitchen to be bright colors.

{two} do you have a good luck charm?

No.

{three} do you prefer to write with a pen or pencil?

Pen.

{four} can you use chopsticks?

no.

{five} do you prefer baths or showers?

showers, unless I don’t feel good or want to relax.  Then I take a bath.

{six} what is your favorite salad dressing?

Ranch and lots of it.  The lettuce has to be complelty covered in ranch dressing.

{seven} can you sing the alphabet backwards?

no

{eight} do you have any allergies?

Well, my parents say I don’t, but I think I do.  During the spring and summer I am always sneezing and have a runny nose.

{nine} crunchy or creamy peanut butter?

Creamy and not nautral peanut butter either.  That suff has to be refridgarated and peanut butter that is hard is just gross.

{ten} have you ever hitch hiked?

No.  I was walking somewhere though and a friend’s mother stopped and gave me a ride though.  She is really nice.
