I feel like things have been pretty serious on my blog lately, so, in an effort to "lighten" things up, I'm going to once again play along with Mama M's "Five Question Friday"!
1. What phrase, or phrases, do you say a lot?
I am the queen of catch phrases. I work in TV news, so I have a masters degree in cliches. I love to tell people never assume because to do so would "make an a$$ out of you and me". I also tend to call people "super silly" or "super cute" or "super sweet"-- "super" anything! By the way, has anyone ever played the board game "Catch Phrase"? It's a hoot!
2. Swimming: Are you a kamikaze off the boat, take the plunge from the deep end, or a gradual, slow submersion from the shore or shallow end kind of person?
I took my first child/parent swim lesson at five months old, and ever since, my LIFE has been in the water. I began swimming competitively at age 7, traveled extensively for meets, and ultimately became a high school All-American. I also worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor as a teenager. For years, I vowed I wouldn't let G be a swimmer like me-- it takes up so much time, a lot of effort, and at times, heartache-- but she's already a water baby!
3. Have any tattoos? If not, what would you get?
No way! I'm afraid of needles (it's why I dropped my pre-med major early in college and pursued a degree in history instead), so I'll probably never ink up.
4. What is your favorite tree?
A Christmas tree! I am obsessed with this holiday, and have enough ornaments to adorn two or three trees! Unfortunately, we still use a sad-looking fake tree that doesn't even have lights pre-strung on it, but I still manage to decorate it to the nines.
5. Two pronged question: What is your favorite non-physical thing about your spouse? What is your favorite physical thing about your spouse or significant other?
Non-physical: DH's sense of humor. He is hilarious. He always manages to find a way to crack me up, either by saying something ridiculous or doing something crazy. It's a great way to diffuse tense situations!
Physical: His height. In high school, I always dated guys who were taller than me, but not by a lot. That meant I couldn't wear some of my tallest shoes (I'm 5' 8" and regularly wear 4-inch heels!). But with DH standing at 6' 6", I NEVER have to worry about that anymore!

Ooooh, I forgot the Christmas tree!! How could I??!!! I wanna change my answer now!!! Glad to have you again!!
Christmas trees are awesome.
1. What phrase, or phrases, do you say a lot?
**"If that makes any sense" (yeah, I think my brain works differently than others, so I assume people don't understand what I am talking about). "NO!" I like to fake people out (a side effect of my job, when people are always asking me questions at the worst times).
2. Swimming: Are you a kamikaze off the boat, take the plunge from the deep end, or a gradual, slow submersion from the shore or shallow end kind of person?
**I am a horrid swimmer, sadly. I love the water, but just can't get down the breathing for the crawl. How fast I go into the water, depends on the water temperature ;-) Being in WI, usually it is cold, so I either dive in, or go in slow and complain the whole way!
3. Have any tattoos? If not, what would you get?
**Nope, I think they are dumb.
4. What is your favorite tree?
**Any tree that has an amazing color in the fall. I especially love leaves that have a different "vein" color in them. I LOVE FALL!!!!!!!!!!!
5. What is your favorite non-physical thing about your spouse?
**Non-physical, my DH is sssssoooo considerate and sweet a lot of the time. He does sweet things like buy my flowers, or dessert, or treats, gives me backrubs, lets me sleep in. He is amazing.
**Physical- he is tall, so can get all the things that are up high. I am 5'2", he is 6'2"... so I appreciate the help! I only wish I was as tall as you! ;-)
Ooooohhh Christmas Trees!!! Those are my FAVORITES! How could I forget about them!!!
And lucky you to have such a tall DH! I'm 5'11 and my hubby is only 6' tall, so when I wear heels, I am always taller. But he has gotten used to it, as have I. I love my heels too much! :)
