Back at it with Five Question Friday

One of my most favorite ways to get back into the blogging rhythm after tax season is to play along with Mama M. and do 5QF. I even thought about it today, and it was Friday, so I can play and not look lame! Yay me!

Today’s questions are:

1. What advice would you give a couple getting married?
2. If you could tell your 16 year old self ONE thing, what would it be?
3. What do you do to keep cool in the summer?
4. What did you (or your wife) crave most while pregnant?
5. Who is your favorite TV mom? Why?

1. What advice would you give a couple getting married?

Oh my gosh. So many thoughts roll through my head when these things come up! It’s ok to disagree, and even better to respect that your spouse has a different opinion. Find the compromise that works well for both of you. Enjoy each other, but don’t be afraid to still do things on your own/for yourself. Make time for each other. Communicate however best fits your lives (my husband and I text or email the important things to one another, that way we “have it in writing” that we really told the other one!) Trust each other, and be a person worthy of that trust.

2. If you could tell your 16 year old self ONE thing, what would it be?

You have friendships that are valuable to you, and that you will miss if you lose them. Do not throw them away on boys and bad decisions.

3. What do you do to keep cool in the summer?

Whatever it takes! Our A/C is a last resort for us – I keep the air off for as long as we can hold out. With kids and dogs running in and out all summer long, it feels wasteful to me to have it on! We swim, play in the hose, go to the library, have (another) popsicle, hang out in a shady spot. Oh – and LIVE in tank tops and flip flops!

4. What did you (or your wife) crave most while pregnant?

The cravings weren’t bad with pregnancies 2 & 3, but that first one? Corn dogs and spicy ANYTHING. Buffalo chicken, wings, Thai food, Chinese food, whatever I could get that was spicy, I neeeeeeded it. And corn dogs. Like 4 or 5 of ‘em at a time. I should have been a house.

5. Who is your favorite TV mom? Why?

I worried that I’d have to think really hard about this one, and then? It hit me.

Sophia, from The Golden Girls.

Seriously, we all need some tiny little Sicilian woman with a charmingly crude sense of humor in our lives.

Love her.

Ok, people! There you have it – my Five Question Friday fun! Be sure to link up over at Mama’s place!
