Five Question Friday!

 Know why? 'Cause it means I've only got about 20 work hours left in the week, then I get a day off. AAaaand - I get to play with Mama M.'s Five Question Friday!


My Little Life


Here's how this all happens ('cause I want you to know. 'Cause I want you to PLAY!) - Mama posts some questions, often provided by some of us in her little community, and we all answer and link up. Easy-peasy!

Today's questions are:

1. Have you ever had a celeb sighting?

2. What temperature do you keep your house?

3. Do you notice dust at other peoples homes?

4. What's the worst job you ever had?

5. What is your most sentimental possession?

And the envelope, please!

1. Have you ever had a celeb sighting?
A few, actually. I live in the same town as John Mellencamp, and have encountered he and his wife on several occasions. I'm a NASCAR fan, and hung out with Rusty Wallace in his trailer one Saturday in July of 1996. And on that trip to Hawai'i I talked about - we totally saw Ben Stein in LAX.

2. What temperature do you keep your house?
We keep it pretty warm. I have very low blood pressure, and my hands and feet are cold a LOT, even with socks, slippers, etc. In the winter, when we're home, the thermostat is usually set at 72. I have a programmable thermostat though that drops it to about 68 when we leave for school/work. In the summertime, we keep the windows open for as long as we can. It usually takes 3-4 days in the upper 90's before I finally break down and turn on the air, but we keep it pretty warm still, like 76/78.

3. Do you notice dust at other peoples homes?
No. I'm not usually at other peoples homes to inspect, I'm there to socialize. I can only pray that they don't look for the dust, dirt, dog hair, random piles of laundry, dirty dishes, etc in my house!

4. What's the worst job you ever had?
I worked at Hardee's for 2 days. (That's the same as a Carl Jr's for some of ya!) It was officially the worst job ever. The work was ugh anyway, but that was compounded by an arrogant, foul little man as my manager, who on the second night I worked came out to ask me to "let him know if I smelled smoke or anything" since he'd just shot a bunch of water from a pressure washer into an outlet in the kitchen.
I decided he was an idiot, and I was done. Other than that, my jobs have all been pretty great, really.

5. What is your most sentimental possession?
Oh wow. Um. I don't know that I have a "most" sentimental! There's the photo album that has our wedding pictures, the box that has the kids hospital pictures and baby footprints. Baby clothes, wedding ring, my Nanny's cameo. They're all so important to me for so many different reasons. I think I'm going to just leave that list just like that, and apologize that I can't be any more specific!

So, there it is! My 5QF for this week. Now, the sun is shining, I've propped open the office door, and I'm gonna knock out some serious tax returns. Won't you please drop by Mama M.'s and play along with us?
