5 Question Friday (Halloween Edition)  

Posted by: Confessions From A Work-At-Home Mom

I look forward to this "Blog Hop" every week! If you haven't fallen in love with Mama M yet, it's time you did so. Head over to her blog and check it out for a good laugh!

My Little Life

This week's questions are:

1. What were you doing the last time you really had a good laugh?

The last one I remember was a few days ago at work. In TV News, we call a pre-recorded, pre-edited news story a "package". One of my supervisors had just looked at one of our reporter's stories for the upcoming show, and screamed out "'C', I love your package!". That itself was funny, but one of my other co-workers immediately retorted with, "That's what she said". Classic. I'm still chuckling about it now.

2. Who was your first CELEBRITY crush?

Gosh, I feel like a dork saying this, but it was Jonathan Taylor Thomas (whose picture I found by googling "JTT", geez, what a loser am I???). I loved him first as that sassy "Randy Taylor" on "Home Improvement", then once I learned he was the voice of "Simba" in "The Lion King"... I was a goner. I had posters of the boy all over my room, and yes (blush), even above my bed (what was I, a 13 year old boy?). But, as all good crushes must, this one came to a crashing end when I realized JTT was a shrimp vertically challenged. (Does that explain why my DH is 6' 6"? I love me some tall men!)

3. What is one talent that you wish you had?

This is so random, but I've always wanted to be able to do a standing back flip. Nothing fancy, no gyrotonic gymnastic moves like Kerri Strug, just a standing back flip. I think it would be funny to be able to just do it whenever I felt like it. Just got a great deal at the grocery store? Flip for it! Finally fit into your skinny jeans again? Flip for it!

4. How often do you and your spouse go out w/o the kids? Is it frequent enough?

Wow, I think the last time DH and I went out alone was the last night of our beach vacation. The problem is, he works an insane inconvenient schedule, lots of nights and even weekends, so our time is limited. And we're still "new enough" to parenting that we hate being apart from G! But the biggest reason is probably because none of our parents live close enough to babysit, so every time we go out, we have to pay for a sitter... and for a cash strapped family like us, that can be a challenge! (Unless, of course, we wanted to pay the sitter then just sit in our car in the driveway!)

5. What colour(s) is your bedroom?

Mama M, you're not alone... our bedroom is stark white too. We BOUGHT our house solely because I fell in love with the master bedroom-- a huge, airy room with lots of windows, a cathedral ceiling, his and hers closets. I loved it the and 3+ years later I still do. But it's so big that I just can't decide how to decorate it. I'm pretty set on something in a lush, rich, warm red, but that's as far as I've gotten. In fact, I'm so torn up about this very issue that when my therapist recently asked me to write down my 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year goals, "painting the bedroom" was at the top of my list (sad, but true). I've actually enlisted my aunt-- an interior designer-- to come visit us for Thanksgiving and give me her input!

PHEW! Those were some fun questions today!

I hope you'll visit Mama M's blog and play in this fun little game, and if this is your first time over to my blog, thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll leave me a message so I can get to know you and repay the visit, and new friends & followers are always welcome!
