Re: Friday Five
2. What is the best thing you've ever won as a prize? How did you win it? I can't think of anything that I've won . . .
3. Do you have any recurring dreams/nightmares? Yes- but knock on wood it's been a while- dinosaurs chasing me- I begged my mom to see Jurassic Park in the theater, and I was only 10 and I've been paying for it ever since.
4. What do you have too much of in your kitchen? Cups and mugs. WAY too many for 4 of us!
5. Plans for the weekend? I'm doing another part of my long term cleanse- I had to take a break b/c I was sick so now I'm getting back on track! It starts as of daylight tomorrow through Sunday, then I have Monday as a scheduled vacation day! I'll lay low for the weekend and then DH and I will go get our chiropractic adjustments together about an hr from our house. Don't know what else. I'll finish my SIL's hat I'm knitting for her that'll match her scarf, and will attempt the mittens next :-)

2. What is the best thing you've ever won as a prize? How did you win it? The dorm fridge I won at our after-prom party. It was just a door prize, so I didn't have to "do" anything.
3. Do you have any recurring dreams/nightmares? Nope, not so much anymore. I did have a weird dream about being haunted by a ghost last night. It was kinda scary.
4. What do you have too much of in your kitchen? Pasta! I keep buying boxes and forgetting we already have some in the cupboard. I think we have 4 boxes of pasta right now.
5. Plans for the weekend? Driving to my MIL's house tonight and visiting with my sister and niece and parents all day tomorrow! I can't wait to see my little niece!
1. What was the last thing you made from scratch?
Completely from scratch I think was strawberry shortcake....SO GOOD! I usually like to do a lot of baking from scratch but our kitchen right now is so small it makes it difficult.
2. What is the best thing you've ever won as a prize?How did you win it?
I can't remember
But I do have a scratch off in my purse so maybe today will be my lucky day!
3. Do you have any recurring dreams/nightmares?
Sometime I have dream deja vu and I swear that I've either been to the same dream setting before or had the same dream. When I was a kid I used to have reoccurring dreams where I climbed a giant beanstalk and walked on clouds!
4. What do you have too much of in your kitchen?
Hmm.... considering I love to bake and my husbands a cook we don't really think we have too much of anything! If I HAD to say something, I'd say cutting boards. We don't NEED as many as we have, but we like them bc they're different sizes which comes in handy for different things!
5. Plans for the weekend?
Saturday, watching the Bama LSU game. ROLL TIDE! My sis and bro in law are huge LSU fans so it's always a fun game to watch. Sunday, working at the nursery again. I'm really hoping I figure out a way to sleep where my back doesn't hurt. Last night was horrible!
Next weekend we're GOING to the Bama Miss State game!!! So excited!! It will be our first game we're going to this season and probably my last game I'll be going to for a few years.
2. What is the best thing you've ever won as a prize? How did you win it? I never win anything!
3. Do you have any recurring dreams/nightmares? I have anxiety dreams a lot but they take different forms - like when I'm trying to catch a flight and everything is impeding me from going to the airport, that sort of thing.
4. What do you have too much of in your kitchen? Appliances, I seem to have every one known to mankind. I do use all of them at least occassionally though.
5. Plans for the weekend? Tonight: date night with DH at a brick oven pizza place, tomorrow DH is doing a bar crawl with his one group of friends who I'm "eh" about, so I'll probably just tag along to a couple bars with them; Sunday, going to visit our friend who just had surgery.
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
1. What was the last thing you made from scratch? Hm, I really dont cook that often and what I do make is pretty simple. I did make coconut milk ice cream the other day, but there were only 3 ingredients (coconut milk, strawberries and bananas)
2. What is the best thing you've ever won as a prize? How did you win it? I have won some giant stuffed animals which was pretty cool at the time (I was a lot younger). One I won at an Easter Egg hunt kus I found the winning egg. The other I won when I tossed a ring around a coke bottle at an amusement part.
3. Do you have any recurring dreams/nightmares? Ugh, yes. I always have dreams that I am in school at the end of the semester and I realize that there is a class that I forgot I was enrolled in and have done nothing for. I also have dreams of people chasing me and I cant run.
4. What do you have too much of in your kitchen? Food in our cupboard. It goes back so far and stuff gets so lost in there.

Oh my gosh, yes, these too! ALL THE TIME! So stressful, and I wake up tired and stressed out.

Besides dinner every night....Whole Wheat Pizza Dough - I was so excited to try it! It came nice and crispy - just the way we like it!

I won $100 in a local cooking contest in my hometown 5 years ago - and I had my own full page article w photos in the paper! It was so fun!

I don't remember my dreams that often, but when I do, it's usually about falling....specifically down stairs. Also, about ostriches chasing me. So weird, I know.

2. What is the best thing you've ever won as a prize? How did you win it? The best thing I've won is money - I usually have decent luck with 50/50 raffles. But the most fun prize was back in '99 when I won tickets to see Sisters of Mercy at the State Theater in Detroit. I had to call in and do this hilarious and corny trivia contest on the alternative music radio station and that's what made it fun. My co workers heard me on the radio that morning laughing my azz off.

1. What was the last thing you made from scratch? last night I made my pizza sauce for us to use for dinner tonight. Once Christmas and New Year's arrive, I will be making everything from scratch.
). Sunday, I want to do nothing, but I will more than likely be cleaning the house...
2. What is the best thing you've ever won as a prize? How did you win it? the only thing that I can think of that I one was in 5th grade. I got first place in a local writing contest. Got a sign book, gift cards to different places, a medal....
3. Do you have any recurring dreams/nightmares? yes! I keep having this one weird dream that involves a tornado that is heading right towards the glass house I am in with my family and I am the only one that cares...some are having tea while others are playing games, but no one cares that a tornado is coming....There is more to this than that, but thats all I can remember....
4. What do you have too much of in your kitchen? beer...all of our friends gave us a lot of beer right before the wedding, then we bought our favorite beer for football season, and then DH had his b-day so all the friends gave him more beer....It really looks like we have a major drinking problem.

Tonight, we are running to the grocery store to get that out of the way.
Tomorrow, we are heading to College Station for another football game (at least we will use some of the beer

3. Do you have any recurring dreams/nightmares? I often dream I'm living in the house I lived in during high school, and there are storms (tornados) coming. At some point in the dream, "bad guys" are trying to get me, either chasing me in a car down dark, gravel roads or else trying to get into the house while I lie on the floor so they can't see me. No idea what these dreams mean.
4. What do you have too much of in your kitchen? We have too many glasses. We could have 50 people over for drinks, and still have some to spare, I swear.
