Re: Friday Five
2. When was the last time you visited a library? Well I worked at one for two years out of college (its been 3.5 years since I got my current job) and I used to borrow things back then however I have visited once or twice since then but just to see old coworkers.
3. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that you were ten years ago? Yes I do. I have similar interests and many of the same friends (with the addition of some more) and I think my personality is similar. I think I'm more mature but I think I'm pretty much the same.
4. What was something you memorized for school and still can recall? Lines from plays/monologues from high school! Oh and most of the countries in the world. My 5th grade teacher was amazing and we made maps of the world and had to learn every single country and we were tested on them. Many of them were reviewed in 8th grade but I learned SO much and remember most of them!
5. Plans for the weekend? Tonight - painting Saturday - painting and cleaning followed by an annual Christmas party. Sunday - MOVING!!!
1. i guess any leftovers from dinner- cold pizza, chinese food, etc.
2. we went to see an art display from the kids school that SD had a drawing up a year or more ago.
3. essentially yes. i have lightened up but still have room for improvement. my core values are pretty much the same.
4. psalm 23, a song my friend and i made up for remembering a monk for history class, i'm sure there are more . ..
5. Getting my new car tonight! tomorrow showing my old car to a coworkers friend to sell, finishing gifts for Christmas, planning Christmas eve meals
April 2010 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination
I'm thrilled I actually get to participate in this. I worked 37 hours as of yesterday and am going in at 3 to finish up my 40. So nice to get stuff done for once!!
1. What is the most unconventional food(s) that you've ever had for breakfast? I LOVE leftovers for breakfast! Especially CPK.
No, some math things and the 30 days past september song. Some hamlet!
2. When was the last time you visited a library? About a month ago.
3. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that you were ten years ago? No way. I was um..pretty young 10 years ago lol.
4. What was something you memorized for school and still can recall? The alphabet!
5. Plans for the weekend? Nothing major. Might go to the ugly sweater xmas party where DH and I met 5 years ago.
Yay! The "Friday Five" mean that yep, it's Friday!!!
1. What is the most unconventional food(s) that you've ever had for breakfast?
Once while staying with friends in Georgia, their Mom got up and made (for a regular Sunday morning pre-service breakfast): Fried Chicken, Gravy, Eggs & Bacon, Sausage, Fried potatoes, Biscuits, Stewed tomatoes, a sweet cake, corn pudding and a host of other things that you might normally associate with either lunch or dinner! The foods themselves weren't that unconventional, but having them all served at 9am in the morning sure was :-)
2. When was the last time you visited a library?
My goodness, at least 5 years ago, maybe longer!
3. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that you were ten years ago?
Good question...in some ways, yes - my core belief system is still the same, but I've found that as I've matured, my view on things in life are not as "black and white" as they were when I was younger. I also find that now I am more likely to make life decisions based on what makes me happy, and how those decisions affect my quality of life; as opposed to 10 years ago, when I seemed more likely to feel the need to get a consensus before making some of those decisions...
4. What was something you memorized for school and still can recall?
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have A Dream Speech". I attended "Dr. Martin Luther King Elementary School", and one of the requirements before "graduating" to middle school was that we all had to recite the speech in front our classmates for a public speaking grade. The best were selected to compete in a schoolwide contest, which was held at the year end school assembly...good times! That's one thing I hope I never forget :-)
5. Plans for the weekend?
Tonight - attending a holiday party that one of the Managing Directors of our firm is giving at his home with H...
Saturday - If the snow can hold off for a little while (here's hoping!): shopping with my Mom, coming home and putting the finishing touches on my interior Christmas decorations, and writing and sending out our holiday (New Years) cards....
and on Sunday - do I even need to say it? Football, but this time wrapping presents while I yell and scream at the TV all day!
Have a great weekend everyone!!!
2. When was the last time you visited a library? umm like 2-3 years ago lol
3. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that you were ten years ago? I was 11 ten years ago so I sure hope not lol

on Easter morning, I give myself a free pass to eat the chocolate in my Easter basket before I eat any other food. Yes, my mom still makes me an Easter basket

About 2 weeks ago - I just got a NJ library card so I can use the one in my new neighborhood. They have a great selection of DVD's too, so I was so excited!

Wow - um - I guess deep down same person but with way different priorities. Gosh, when I was 20, I had the college sorority life, I had a part-time job and no bills besides my new car payment and cell phone, I could come and go as I please and I was completely single. Worlds away from where my life is now, but still just as good!
4. What was something you memorized for school and still can recall?

Hibernating!!!!! It's fricken freezing!

3. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that you were ten years ago? Essentially yes. But my mindset has changed significantly.
4. What was something you memorized for school and still can recall? Nothing pops out right now. I suck at remembering things.

April Nesties March siggy challenge: Next Vacation, Anguilla!!
1. What is the most unconventional food(s) that you've ever had for breakfast? Ha - there are so many where do I start? Probably Halloween candy....
2. When was the last time you visited a library? Before I graduated from WSU - that would be 1997.
3. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that you were ten years ago? For the most part; I've changed in that I'm not a party animal anymore. When I was single I never stayed home. I like being a homebody with DH these days. I think I may be more blunt now too. Mike and my ILs rubbed off on me in that sense. I always used to avoid confrontation until then. Sometimes I still do but not the way I used to!
4. What was something you memorized for school and still can recall? All the answers to the citizenshp test for my government class in 12th grade. And part of the preamble to the constitution.
5. Plans for the weekend? Chilling tonight - gym and chilling tomorrow, church w/ my mom and date night with DH - football on Sunday, dinner over my parents and the Survivor finale later on...
2. When was the last time you visited a library? When I was in college, so almost 3 years ago.
3. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that you were ten years ago? 10 years ago I was 15, so I would say mostly not, in some ways I am the same, but I think the biggest difference is that I am more realistic about life, and the people in my life. ( I used to be pretty naive!)
4. What was something you memorized for school and still can recall? the preamble to the constitution, we had to memorize it, we used the song from the old School House Rock cartoon.
5. Plans for the weekend? DH works all weekend, and we are dog sitting for my parents (which sucks because it had been raining so much, so I have two dogs with lots of energy inside.) I will probably clean my house after they pick up their dog, and finish Christmas shopping for DH.
1. What is the most unconventional food(s) that you've ever had for breakfast? Steak. I can also add leftovers, and ice cream to that list.
2. When was the last time you visited a library? Maybe 2 or 3 years ago. I used to go to the library all the time, but now I have less free time.
3. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that you were ten years ago? Essentially. Other than some life experiences, and getting to the point in my life where I was ready to get married, and start thinking about kids. No major change in personalty or thought process or ideals.
4. What was something you memorized for school and still can recall? Math equations, ROY-G-BIV (colors in the rainbow), My Very Excellent Mother Just Sat Under New Pines (the order of the planets).
5. Plans for the weekend? Tonight - The gym, a gowing away party, maybe going to a club to see a band, but I will probably not do that.
Saturday - Stuff around the house and errands. Christmas Party.
Sunday - Stuff around the house, guests coming next week!!!
1. What is the most unconventional food(s) that you've ever had for breakfast? umm, all kinda of stuff...lunchmeat sandwiches, candy
2. When was the last time you visited a library? hmmmmm probably about 10 years ago or so
3. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that you were ten years ago? Yes and no. 10 years ago I had just finished college and had been at my job for about a month already (the same job I lost in July). I have done some travelling since then and feel like I have really grown up. In other ways, I think I still have some of the same personality traits.
4. What was something you memorized for school and still can recall? the Plege of Allegiance, and some of the different acronyms for the order of the planets
5. Plans for the weekend? DH is sick, so a lot depends on how he's feeling.
Tonight--probably nothing, I will probably either make something for dinner or go out and grab something.
Tomorrow--picking up our wedding album FINALLY!, doing some final Christmas shopping and possibly car shopping for DH, also going to Old Navy first thing in the morning for a new scarf and gloves set, also need to get all my food ready for Sunday.
Sunday--church and Christmas with both sides of my family
