thirteen questions

1. What was your favorite game as a kid? To be honest? Probably Mario Brothers on nintendo. The original nintendo.

2. If you had to pick reading or watching tv and movies for the rest of your life, what would it be? I'd read, as long as I had good books.

3. What is your favorite non-blog website? I was just about to write "Google Reader" but I think that's probably uber-blog related. I hate to admit it, but probably facebook is the website I'm on the most.

4. What was your favorite book as a child? What about now? I don't know if I had a favorite. I was always reading, and I don't know if I ever read the same books over and over once I learned about the library! Now: I have a hard time picking just one. I read lots of books written by women authors these days, and right now I'm munching up Christopher Moore books as we can find them. I'm also reading White Oleander by Janet Fitch which is really well written. I recommend her.

5. If you had a weekend sans all responsibility and an unlimited budget, what would you do? I'd say sleep, but that's kind of boring. I'd travel somewhere. Somewhere fun where I could alternate between laying on a lawn chair drinking umbrella drinks and watching the surf and doing some awesome adventuresome activities.

6. What do you *really* think of Twilight? I think Twilight reads like it was written by a 14 year old. I've gone on about this before. For whatever reason, I continued to read the series anyway, because I wanted to know where the train wreck would end, but seriously, I was kind of annoyed on each and every page.

7. If you could go back and name your kids again, would you pick the same names? What if you could change your own name? I'd name my kids the same names again. Tennyson Steven is a little rhymey, but it's after my husband, so it stays. When I was younger I thought changing my own name would be awesome, but doesn't every teenager gripe about everything? By now it's something my mom picked out for me and it would be weird to be called anything else!

8. If you could buy one thing today, no matter the cost, and not another thing for an entire year, what would you buy? New flooring for my kitchen/dining room. I am very exciting.

9. Look to your left. What do you see? Mess.

10. What word do you use too much? The odd person has noticed that I say "seriously" from time to time.

11. What is your favorite body part on yourself? I was really tempted to put something dirty (for just a split second) but this is a family site... I have no idea. They're all just parts. I guess I like the colour of my eyes.

12. How often do you wash your hair? Every 3rd day. And don't go "eww" either, because it's nicer on that 3rd day than it is on the first.

13. What would be your ideal job? Are you doing it? Ideal job? I wish I could write. For real - not like "I have a blog so I'm a writer" write. Nope, not doing it.

I laughed at "Seriously." I always know when my husband has had a little too much to drink because "seriously" becomes his favorite word.

I'm sure you have a very pretty "part." But I bet your eyes are even lovelier. :)

I know you have nice legs!!;)

Also, no one should be washing their hair more than twice a week.

And I'd buy a front and back door. We aren't boring, we're smart!

No, my secret alias is not Mia. MIA = missing in action. I have been avoiding posting on here. Why? Because I don't have a ton of stuff to write about. Also, I've discovered that my blog is being followed by a couple of people I'm not related to. Although I'm super excited about it, I'm also a little intimidated! Sounds silly, I know. Hear me out. You know how you can be a teenager (I'm not a teenager, we're just being hypothetical) and have big thick coke bottle glasses, zits all over your face, big baggy pants and a baggy sweatshirt hiding the rolls hidden underneath and a perm that went very very wrong and is now only curly on ONE SIDE and your mom still tells you you're beautiful and she'd love to trade faces with you? You know how that feels? You don't have to question it too much, because she's your mom and you know she's probably a little biased. Blogging is a little like that. Until now, only my friends have read my blog. I coul...

christmas time's a coming

Only 23 days until Christmas! Remember when we were kids, and Christmas was all about time off school, lots of treats (chocolate, candy canes, oranges, turtles!), new Christmas dresses for the church concert, lights, music, decorations, noisy and exciting gatherings at Grandma's house, Christmas episodes of our favorite tv shows and of course presents! The list goes on and on. I still find Christmas exciting. Yet, now the season holds more than just the "fun" stuff. Now we have to worry about scheduling in all the different families and parents, buying gifts we can't necessarily afford, making dishes to bring to the different gatherings, hoping that people will understand that we need to share the holidays with many others, and hoping that nobody will be hurt if our time with them is short. I wonder if I'm doing a good job of making the holidays fun and enjoyable for my kids, and if I've bought the right gifts. I worry about what five days in a row of late ni...

the snowsuit

I really must go back and tell you about . . . duhn duhn duh . . . the snowsuit . I've most certainly kept you in suspense far too long. Remember last winter when there was no snow, but it was still cold enough to freeze puddles and require kids to wear winter clothing? Good, we're caught up. Jordan is really hard on outerwear. Last year she destroyed a pair of skates, lost various mitts and tuques, shredded her first pair of winter boots and left her snowsuit looking like swiss cheese. The boots and snowsuit were done before Christmas. I made her wear the snowsuit for the rest of winter anyway and the boots I replaced after Christmas. It's amazing that a six year old child can ruin a rather expensive snowsuit in a few short months. I blame mother nature. Mother nature thought it would be funny to make it cold and icy out without actually giving us snow. Of course children want to run and drop to their knees or tummy on frozen puddles and slide to the other side. Of ...
