Five Question Friday

5 comments
Yeah, I know.
I don't usually do these meme things but I saw this one over on another blog that I frequent and it looked harmless.

So . . .

My Little Life



1. What's your "comfort food"?
homemade mac and cheese
or
chicken and dressing
as long as someone else cooks them!

2. Do you send Thank You's (handwritten or email)?
through email

3. If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?
Big Brother
I'm too much of a chicken for Amazing Race.
I couldn't live without cheeseburgers to go on Survivor.
I can't cook and Gordon Ramsey scares me....so NO to Hell's Kitchen.

4. What is your favorite online recipe site?
I don't really have a favorite but the one I visit the most would be allrecipes.com

5. If you had to choose: "Friends" or "Seinfeld"?
Friends
The folks on Seinfeld annoy me.
but
I would love to have a dance-off with Elaine.

Oh, and just for kicks....
How about we continue with the questions?
Maybe a little TRUTH or DARE?

Got a question for me?
*
Wanna double dog DARE me ?

Leave it in the comments below (or send them via email) and I will answer some of the questions and maybe even a dare or two in a post tomorrow.
even better? on video

Just as long as the dare isn't something absurd like eating low fat mayo or drinking a diet pepsi.
(gag)

A girl must have limits, ya know?

Check out this giveaway from one of my pals.
You could win some of her awesome stationery.
I'm still on a bird kick so the "birds on a vine" is definitely my favorite followed by that chandelier with blue birds.

She's also got a shop on Etsy.
Elona Creations

What am I going to do with all this bread and milk now?

I've got some good news.
Hunky Hubby was able to find a loaf of bread last night.
(even if it was the WHEAT-IEST of the WHEAT BREADS)

but

You won't get to see me dancing like a lunatic.
(I practiced too.)

Here's our "SNOW".
Now go back and read my post.

uh.huh.

Actually, we didn't even have this much when I woke up this morning.
I kept waiting . . .
and waiting . .
snow

snow2

Wanna hear something funny?
They shut down the schools.
THEY SHUT DOWN THE SCHOOLS FOR THIS!
We were watching the news this morning and they were talking about "THE DEEP FREEZE of 2010" and showed the news reporter outside all bundled up.
She reached down to grab some of this DUST and tossed it up into the air.
I looked at the Hunky One and said "How embarrassing".

We get a little dust and people go crazy however up north they are probably shoveling off 2 ft just to get out of their driveway and . . .
ya know . . .
TAKE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL

Day 6 of the 365 Day Photo Challenge


clouds1

A pessimist only sees the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all--he's walking on them.

whoa!
That sounds all smart and stuff, huh?
Y'all know that it didn't come from me then.
HA!

I can do a mean "Carlton"

To Snow?
or
Not To Snow?

That is the question.

Ya see, we (FOLKS) down here hardly EVER get the white stuff known to many as SNOW.
Well, there was this one time back in 1994.
Oh wait...
That wasn't snow.
That was "THE ICE STORM OF 94".
yeahh...
The weather/news people around here are so fancy.
They name BIG HAPPENINGS.
Kind.of.like
"The Great Freeze of 03"
Except you have to say it in that DEEP MOVIE PREVIEW voice.
Oh, and there are lots of special effects and sounds.

ANYHOO
We do not get snow.
Every once in awhile they will hype the kids up and scare the pants off the "seasoned folks" out there with "SNOW IS IN THE FORECAST".
The kids start designing their snow forts (in their heads).
and
The "seasoned folks" head to the market to clear out the bread shelves and milk aisle.
I said "seasoned folks" this time and NOT granny or gramps goodtimes.
See, I am improving.
a . little .


Only to get home and hear :

"We got lucky this time."
"We barely missed the snow by THIS much."

hmm....

Now I have angry children and NO BREAD.
GEE THANKS, WEATHER MAN.
Thanks a lot.

Where am I going with all of this?
I AM GETTING THERE.

I was watching the news earlier this week and 2 out of 3 kids just happened to be in here to hear "SNOW IS A-COMIN". (or something kind of like that)
That's all they heard.
That's all they wanted to hear.
THAT'S ALL THEY HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.

Weather man said up to 3 inches!
but in weather man terms that really means a light dusting, right?

The next day....
Snow's still a-comin.
1-2 inches
great, we won't even get the dust....more like if ya blink ya may miss it

Today . . .
Ehhh (says the weather man) Snow is still in the forecast for SOME of us.
The cities DOWN BELOW HERE will receive the majority of the snow.
BUT
I still see us getting 1/2 inch to 1 inch.

uh huh
You already know what I am thinking, right?
no snow

But one thing he was MOST certain of :
It's gonna be cold.

B R R R

**************
Ok
Here's the deal.
I am challenging that SNOW.
(and weather man)
except he doesn't really know it

If it snows more than ONE INCH (which I don't see happening).
I will say "I WAS WRONG."


ON VIDEO

I will also run outside in my BRIGHT BLUE SNUGGIE and dance.
Since, I don't know any of the HIP dances of today.
I will have to break it down 90's style.
*Word to yo Mutha*
A little MC HAMMER
Running Man
Roger Rabbit

Ya know, the good stuff.
I may even toss in a "Carlton" for ya.
AND
I can do a REAL MEAN CARLTON!



Wanna take a poor girl bet?
ya know, the kind that doesn't involve $$

WILL WE GET SNOW??
Yes or No

Whatcha think?

Y'all come back tomorrow, ya hear?

Day 5...

I'm cheating today but I have a good reason.
See that pic above?
Well, I took it for Shellie Ross in honor of her little boy Bryson.
She lost him the week before Christmas and bloggers all throughout the blog-o-sphere wanted to support her.
(We lit candles and the photos were used in a tribute video.)

Like many, I have been praying for Shellie and her family.
&
I will continue to pray for them.
Not only is she still grieving but she is dealing with some very hateful people.
Between news stories and bashing via twitter and blog posts...
It's just sick.
The sad part?
Most of these "people" answer to the name "MOM" or "MOMMA" and "MOMMY".



Anyway...
This is my photo for day 5.
(365 day photo challenge)
