I didn’t really do anything special this weekend. Mowed the lawns, went to the gym, did some laundry, watched some TV.

I actually don’t have anybody dropping by expectantly because I actually don’t tell that many people were I live.

Five Question Friday #4

Friday, May 11th, 2012 | General with No Comments »

1. What advice would you give a couple getting married?
Don’t do it? Honestly, I do not see the need if you truly love someone. A piece of paper does make a marriage and therefore does not need one IMO.

2. If you could tell your 16 year old self ONE thing, what would it be?
Exercise and watch what you eat because it will come back to haunt you when you hit your 30-40s.

3. What do you do to keep cool in the summer? (AC, windows, fans, swimming, etc.)
AC at the house. I cannot sleep when I’m hot.

4. What did you (or your wife) crave most while pregnant?
N/A since I have never been pregnant nor aim to be.

5. Who is your favorite TV mom? Why?
I don’t really have one. I know one I wouldn’t want which is from Married with Children.

===============

On a side note, I thought I already started to kill off the lettuce bowl but found out it just needed water. I moved it out of direct sunlight now to see how that goes. *woopsies*

1. Finish this sentence – The chore that I hate most is…
Cleaning the kitchen floors because I no sooner clean them and the dogs have paw prints everywhere.

2. What are you most looking forward to this summer?
Oddly enough the kidney camp I take the kids to every year.

3. Where do you do most of your grocery shopping? How often do you shop?
Bi-Lo maybe 1-2 times per week because I never buy huge amounts of stuff since it is just me. I’ll buy enough for a couple days of meals and then go back for something else.

Started out blogging because everybody was doing it and now I don’t think I could stop because I enjoy it.

And your question is:

5. Do you grow a garden?

Meet Me on Monday #66

Monday, May 7th, 2012 | General with 2 Comments

I found this meme on another blog and tracked it back to the originator. There are some interesting questions and a great way to know me a little more. You can check it out at Meet Me on Monday Meme back from hiatus. Here goes…

1. I wish _________
a lot of things but I know they won’t happen unless I can do something about it.

2. If you could witness any event past, present or future, what would it be?
Hmm, maybe the first flight of a plane.

3. Do you like to cook?
Yes but I don’t often because I don’t really like eating leftovers and it is just me in the house.

4. What do you like to do to get exercise?
I wouldn’t go so far as say like but I do it anyways. Lift weights, spinning, running, walking (sometimes with the dog), elliptical and most currently specific exercises to strengthen by hip and lower quadrant for my back.

5. How tidy are you?
Umm, to some extend obsessive compulsive about tidiness in a certain way too.

Shout It Out!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Triad Retail Media for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

shout I think laundry must be the bain of every household. The more people you have in the household the worse it is. I live alone with my furkids. Each week I have at least 3 loads of laundry to do. One load just for my gym clothes. I've never been one to separate whites from colors. That would make for extra loads of laundry I don't want to have to wait for.

I even bring my lab coats from work home to clean often. I think I have had just about everything dumped on these lab coats either by myself or by patients. The one thing I battle on every single lab coat and why they probably should be cleaned more often than I do is the cuffs, especially of my right hand since I'm a righty. The surfaces of desks and what not around here are filthy which sticks to the cuffs of my lab coat. No matter how many times I wash the lab coat I can never get the stain (which is what it is by now) completely resolved.

I have used Shout® Trigger before and still use it on the cuffs of the lab coat because it can take out most of the stains. I am actually looking at the cuffs now and they have marker and dirt all over it plus some spots that are black because I have not washed this one just yet. I like using Shout® because I do not have to worry about it bleaching out the colors like some others I have tried since I do not separate the whites. I also like that it is a spray bottle verses some of the other ones I have tried. Just spray it on the stain and I rub the clothes together to make sure it really gets in there and then toss it in the wash. Some products work for certain people and you just have to try them all to see which one works for you. I always keep stain removers on hand in the laundry room so I don't have to keep going to Walmart and buy them.

Five Question Friday #3

Friday, May 4th, 2012 | General with 2 Comments

1. What did you wear to prom? Include a picture if possible.
My Junior Prom I wore one of the Southern Belle dresses in peach if I remember correctly. I was not allowed to go to my Senior Prom because I did not have a date.

2. Would you rather be on the biggest loser or a food eating challenge?
Eh, biggest loser because there is no way I’d win any sort of food eating challenge due to the fact that I would refuse to eat a lot of stuff they might want me too and be off within minutes of the show starting lol

3. Done fave sonic drink? Refreshing summer drink? (Hey, Kristina…was that a typo, or some “done good” Southern thing?)
A drink from Sonic? Never been there. Favorite summer drink? Sugar Free Kool-Aid Grape.

4. What was your first car, and what did you call it?
Chevrolet something or other and I don’t name my cars.

5. What’s one thing your child or spouse does that sends you over the edge?
I do not have either but the dogs irk me when they keep wanting to go outside every 5 minutes and then back in in 5 minutes.
