Five Question Friday

Yes, I apologize that I haven’t blogged since last Friday.  I was doing so well last week, but I was also working from home so when the work day was over (at 4pm) I had so much evening time left that I could get everything done and still have time to blog.  Plus, I could sleep in a little and didn’t have to force myself to go to bed before 11pm.

This week I went back to work and so I have very little time.  Very, very little time.  I get up at 4:30am and then I don’t get home from work until 6:30 and by the time I finish all that I need to get done (eat, bathe baby, get ready for work the next day) it is 10pm and time to get ready for bed.  I just couldn’t fit in a blog post.  I usually work from home on Wednesdays but this week I had meetings and wasn’t able to – so all this meant not blogging time. 

I am going to try to fit in blogging this week coming up – I promise.  I have been doing well on my organization, so I should be able to organize a tad bit better and get some blogs written.  For now, I leave you with Five Question Friday from Mama M’s blog, Five Crooked Halos.  Hope you enjoy!

1. If you were going to be stuck on a deserted island, which five people, movies, books, and food would you take along?
   Hmm, I’m not sure I like this question.  So many things to think about.  I’m going to pretend that I’m going to this deserted island for vacation – and not that I’m gonna be stuck here forever without any means of ever seeing my friends and family again.  Or that we’re going to be like Tom Hanks on that movie with the volleyball – because then I wouldn’t want to subject my family to that torture.  I’m also not gonna say the five people because I don’t want to leave important people out.  I would definitely take my husband and baby though (again, as long as we aren’t going to practically starve to death or something – otherwise I’d leave them home, safe).  Five books?  Well, I’d pick five books I haven’t read yet so I could be entertained.  So, a few of the books on my book list are:
   
         A Train in Winter by Caroline Moorehead

     The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe

     The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg

     The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers

     Notorious Nineteen by Janet Evanovich (although this book would be finished in a minute)

As for five movies, I would probably take Sunshine Cleaning, Dirty Dancing, Anne of Green Cables, A Few Good Men, and Under the Tuscan Sun.  I never get tired of those movies.

And five foods?  That is hard – do I have a fridge?  I would bring lots of candy, oatmeal, pasta with vodka sauce, potatoes, and frozen yogurt.

That was the longest question ever.


2. What is your thought on year-round school?
   I don’t really have thoughts.  It’s probably good in some sense and bad in others.  As a working mom, I can see the challenge of having to find childcare for my children during the summer when school is not in session.  I don’t really like the idea of sending my children to “camp” all summer long and I don’t have enough vacation time to take three months off.  However, as a child I loved summer and not having school for such an extended period of time.  So, who knows.
   
3. What is your most embarrassing potty story? 
   I don’t think I have one.  At least not one I can remember.  I do remember that my sister got peed on by a lion at the Rome Zoo when she was really little (like 2).  That’s all I’ve got!  Thank goodness no embarrassing pee stories from Evan yet.
   
4. What’s the temperature where you are at?
   Today it is 32*F.  It was suppose to snow last night, but nothing happened.  Boo.  Actually, I was happy because trying to get home from work when it is snowing is a nightmare.  But I would have been happy to have woken up this morning to a few inches.  Nope, just cold temps.  Which is actually nice since it’s been unseasonably warm here this winter.  I think we are going to start a fire in our fireplace this evening – so that’s exciting.
   
5. Are you a winter/spring/fall/summer person?
   I am an all-year person.  I love all the seasons!  When I spent two years in Honduras where it was hot all the time and the only seasons were the dry season and the rainy season – I really longed for the four seasons I was used to.  I really love every season – the heat, the cold, the colors, the flowers.  The only thing I hate is the windy season.  Wind is no fun.

 

Ok – your turn! 

What is the temperature where you are at? 

What’s your favorite season?

What’s your favorite movie?  Or a good book you recently read?

P.S. Sorry no pictures – I’ll overwhelm you with photos in my next post!
