Questions:

1. What is your favorite way to eat potatoes? I LIKE GOOD OL' MASHED POTATOS WITH BROWN GRAVY...(LIKE THE KFC ONES) , I'M NOT VERY KEEN ON FRENCH FRIES ANYMORE, I JUST FEEL THAT THEY ARE WAY TOO UNHEALTHY FOR YOU, I DO EAT THEM BUT TRY TO LIMIT THEM TO NO MORE THAN 1 TIME PER WEEK IF THAT OFTEN...

2. What was the last package that was delivered to your house? I THINK IT WAS SOME ITEMS I ORDERED ON KOHLS.COM....SOME MORE GREAT DEALS

3. What is your favorite scent that you love to smell? I LOVE MY HUSBAND'S COLOGNE, AQUA DI GIO, IT IS JUST A CLEAN, CRISP SMELL, SAME COLOGNE HE WORE ON OUR 1ST DATE...BUT I ALSO LOVE FRESH CUT GRASS SMELL, THE RAIN COMING SMELL....A NICE CLEAN NEWBORN BABY....I COULD GO ON AND ON.......

4. Do you smoke? NO WAY....NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WELL....I THINK IT IS GROSS & A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.

5. Are your parents married or divorced? MY PARENTS ARE MARRIED AND HAVE BEEN FOR 32 YEARS NOW, THEY ARE SUCH A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE....MY IN-LAWS ARE STILL MARRIED AS WELL....AND WE'RE WORKING ON OUR 6TH ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR...LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY, MANY YEARS TO COME....

{RELAXING & THRIFTY FRIDAY....}

I've been on a Mission the last few weeks to find Chloe a cute Easter dress, me a new pair of Levi's (husband said I need some that fit my body better, I prefer comfort over visual...I guess he prefers visual over comfort, but tried on pair after pair, and was surprised the Junior sections jeans fit alot better)...I had a couple of Kohl's coupons as well so decided that was a MUST stop for the beginning of my shopping adventure...
I tried on a couple of clothing pieces, but I'm the type that contemplates over it to the EXTREME....I'm very thrifty & HATE spending money on myself....but I gave in today and bought myself a new pair of jeans and a new Nine West purse...both were on sale ( could NEVER pay full price, that's againest ANY and ALL of my shopping rules).I racked up on some "stash-closet gifts" as well, that is where I stash all of my birthday, Christmas, or other occassion gifts for others, I have to say I was THRILLED when I added my receipts up....Spent $52.28 and SAVED $286.68...well actually just found another bag I forgot so my GRAND total savings is actually $304.69.....So Proud of my Great Finds that I got today....Such an Adreline Rush :)

5 QUESTION FRIDAY



1. Have you ever forgotten your child in a store or at school? NOPE, I HAVE TO SAY I HAVEN'T SHE'S TOO LOUD TO FORGET HER....


2. Where did you go on your very first date? (Like...first first, not first with your spouse or current significant other!) GOSH, THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO, I THINK IT WAS A DINNER & MOVIE...


3. What's your "silly" fear? (We're not talking water and heights.) SILLY FEAR, OF SOMEONE KIDNAPPING ME IN A PARKING LOT....ALWAYS GOT MY KEYS IN MY HAND LIKE A DAGGER (LOL) AND ALWAYS CONTSTANTLY LOOKING AROUND....GUESS I'VE WATCHED TOO MANY MURDER/MISSING PERSON SHOWS....


4. Confrontation: do you cause it, deal with is as it comes, or run far far away? I WOULD SAY DEAL WITH IT!! I'M NOT ONE TO BACK DOWN ON ANYTHING...AND YES I MEAN ANYTHING...


5. Wood floors or carpet?
WOOD FLOORS....WE REMODELED OUR HOUSE A FEW YEARS BACK AND RIPPED ALL CARPET UP...LOVE THE WOOD FLOORS, BUT DEFINATELY SHOWS THE DUST MORE, BUT SEEMS MORE SANTITARY TO ME, INSTEAD OF HAVING ALL OF THE DUST GATHER IN THE CARPET.

1. March 2nd is Dr. Seuss's birthday so I'm wondering...do you like green eggs and ham? I REMEMBER HAVING THIS IN KINDERGARTEN, I PREFER MY EGGS SCRAMBLED....LOVE THE QUICK WAY OF COOKING EGGS, IN THE MICROWAVE. USE A LITTLE COOKING SPRAY, STIR THE EGG AND PUT IN MICROWAVE FOR 1 MINUTE....

2. Is March coming in like a lion or something less ferocious where you live?

IT'S PRETTY NICE HERE....FEELS LIKE SPRING, BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE AND PRETTY WARM, IN THE 60S...

3. Do you work better or worse under pressure.
I WORK BOTH WAYS PRETTY GOOD, BUT IF I'M UNDER PRESSURE, I DON'T PROCRASTINATE, WHICH I'M MORE OF A PLANNER THAN A PROCRASINATOR ANYWAYS.

4. March Madness-are you a fan? It's college basketball in case you're wondering. And if you're outside the USA tell us, is there any sort of 'madness' taking place during March in your part of the world?
NOPE, NOT A FAN, DON'T REALLY LIKING ANY SPORTS.


5. Under what circumstances do you do your best thinking?
I WOULD SAY RIGHT BEFORE FALLING ASLEEP AT NIGHT, OR WHEN I AM DRIVING AIMLESSLY SOMEWHERE, ESPECIALLY IF I'M IN THE CAR ALONE.



6. What item of clothing from your wardrobe do you wear most often?
DRESS CLOTHES, B/C I WEAR THEM EVERY DAY TO WORK....BUT I LOVE ME SOME JEANS ON THE WEEKEND.

7. Do you use sarcasm?
I DO ALOT OF TIMES, SOMETIMES I DON'T EVEN KNOW I'M DOING IT, WHICH IS SAD.



8. Insert your own random thought here.

LOVING THE WEATHER, HOPING I CAN GET SOME MORE OF MY "TO-DO" LIST DONE THIS WEEKEND AT HOME.

ANOTHER check off the "To-Do" List.......


Had a great weekend, never had a chance to write about it yesterday. The weather was just WONDERFUL!!!! We went junkin' a little Saturday morning, but nothing quite caught my eye, so came home empty-handed. I had a long list of "To-Do" things, got a few accomplished. Purchased some paint & a new mailbox. I worked my little heart out on that mailbox, 2 coats of paint, re-painted numbers and a new box installed, I think it looks 100% better...now for getting some seed packets planted for some color at the end of the driveway.
My husband decided to tackle the yard...I let him, as I have had a little cough for a couple of weeks now. I did end up hauling the numerous trips with the wheel-barrow...hey,a little exercise, is always a plus!!
I had hoped to have gotten a few more things done, but I took the day slow & really enjoyed it.
Now, looking forward to this coming weekend....Hope it is as promising as the last.......... :)
