April Nesties March siggy challenge: Next Vacation, Anguilla!!
1. What are you tired of this week? People in general?I am also tired of having a sore throat and being stuffy due to allergies!
2. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest? Our bedroom?hands down. I HATE that we let it get so awful!!!!
3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause? Lots and lots?I couldn?t pick just one. A generic not very ?deep? cause is getting the road fixed outside of our house. I swear the pot holes could eat people and cars alive!
4. Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much? Any type of hard candy. I think I dislike it because it?s hard to eat and leaves a taste in your mouth?I also hate tootsie rolls?fake chocolate flavor?yuck!
5. Plans for the weekend? Tonight go to the choral concert at the high school I went to. My friend?s sister goes there and is performing. Then tomorrow take down cabinet doors and sand them and remove all that?s in the cabinets to get prepared for painting them next week. Then I am going up to my friends house to help her make food to freeze for when she has her baby next month! I can?t wait! Sunday having a combined mom?s day with MIL and my mom. The end. I hate being so busy!
2. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest? Can I answer every room? However the bathrooms and the hallway are lookin pretty neat at the moment. Seriously though the house is a mess.
3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause? Arts in the schools!! Makes me sad that thats often the first thing to go. DH and I were both artistic kids (thought two different kinds entirely graphic for him theatre for me) and we majored in arts in college. I think a foundation at a young age is super important.
4. Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much? Anything with nuts in it. I like my chocolate and caramel pure
5. Plans for the weekend? BUSY weekend. Rehearsal dinner tonight. Wedding tomorrow and Sunday DH MUST mow our lawn. We bought the lawnmower on Wednesday night but we are becoming THOSE neighbors the ones ppl talk about cause the lawn is taller then the house
1. What are you tired of this week? Being bored at work
2. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest? Sometimes the kitchen because we cook A LOT, but lately we have been a lot better about cleaning up afterwards so it's been the cleanest. I have to agree with bedroom I guess because DH is incapable of hanging up his suits at the end of the day and tosses them on a chair.
3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause? Impeach Rick Scott!
4. Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much? Tootsie rolls. It's not really chocolate, but it's not fruity. It takes purely like processed funk.
5. Plans for the weekend? Going to our neighbor's house tonight for a SEIS de Mayo party. Tomorrow going to the dog park and then to watch the Kentucky Derby. Sunday gym, clean, groceries, maybe beach!
2. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest? The kitchen. With two hounds that slobber everywhere and drag in endless amounts of dirt...it's just gross!
3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause? Stop puppy mills or any type of breeding in general!
4. Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much? Mounds...never was a fan.
5. Plans for the weekend? Tonight I'll be cleaning the house; Saturday - visiting with my parents for a bit in the morning, going to some garage sales, and then going out for a friend's birthday; Sunday - church and whatever I can find to do around the house.

2. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest? The kitchen and our office. By the time DH gets home and we have dinner, I am too tired to clean up before going to bed (and I don't get much help from DH either)...The office just needs to be organized. It has a lot of little craft projects that I need to complete.
3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause? funding for special ed, especially for communication disorders. I know most school have a speech pathologist on staff, but some families cannot afford the cost to send their child to theraphy over the summer. I wish there was more funding to provide a summer program for those kids to be able to keep their skills up.
4. Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much? this is hard to answer right now since I have the worlds biggest sweet tooth (and I am finding that I am not that picky of an eater any more)...
5. Plans for the weekend? Tonight, I am doing NOTHING and tomorrow might be that way too. DH is going to meet his parents tomorrow morning for an early mothers day breakfast...depends how I feel if I go. Sunday afternoon we are spending with my mom (again if I am feeling up to it). DH needs to mow at somepoint. We got some cleaning to do. And somewhere in there I need to work on making business cards for my new business (homemade gourmet)....
2. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest? The office area b/c DH rarely tidies up his desk. The rest I really keep up with pretty good.
3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause? Something related to the military prob since my dad and DH were in the AF, and one of my HS friends was in the Army
4. Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much? Necco, because they taste like chalk.
5. Plans for the weekend? I'm on a three day weekend b/c I took a sick day today. So laying low today, maybe getting my new bathroom decor up. Other than that we'll see how I feel the rest of the weekend. Watching the Flyers hopefully repeat last year's 3-0 deficit and beating Boston the next 4 games to win the series.
April 2010 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination

3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause? hmmmm...maybe something to help special needs kids
4. Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much? anything with cocunut and Pixie Stix

2. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest? My office - I should totally file all of this paperwork but I always wait until I need something to finally put it in an organized box.
3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause? No more muffin tops - all pants have to be made to make a woman look streamlined and feel gorgeous.
4. Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much? Circus Peanut candy - the texture of it makes me queasy just thinking about it. Also, anything that resembles vomit in color I'm questionable about.

but now that it's over, I'm over it. Let's all move on...
2. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest? The office!! Because it's hubby's responsibility to keep neat, and he DOES NOT!! I give him ONE ROOM to take care of and he can't handle it haha
3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause?
This is going to sound wild, but I think that everyone should take a road test before renewing their driver's license every 10 years. People really forget basic driving rules and manners after a while...I think it would make the roads safer!
4. Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much? I can't stand Butterfinger. I hate the texture of the inside and the way it sticks to my teeth. it's the only peanut-butter related item that I would refuse willingly
5. Plans for the weekend? Tonight, laundry and cleaning whoo hooo!!! Tomorrow, I'm proctoring the SAT given at the HS I work at, so I have to be up and out of the house by 6:45 am...not fun. I plan to just relax and do whatever I want for the rest of tomorrow. Sunday, I'll be hanging out with Mom
2. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest? BEDROOM!! Whenever I leave some stuff around the apt, DH throws everything on my side of the bed. It's lovingly called "My Pile" Ugh
3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause? Down with big food corporations! (I'm looking at you Tyson, Perdue, Monsanto) and getting healthier foods into school (a la Food Revolution)
4. Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much? I agree with Tootsie Rolls and White Chocolate. Bleck
5. Plans for the weekend?After work DH and I are celebrating his LAST DAY OF WORK at a new beer place that I am VERY excited about. Tomorrow we are taking our moms out for lunch. Sunday I have a 10 mile run coming so I'm not planning on doing much after that! hah

1. What are you tired of this week? Let's see... being away from my husband and cats, jet lag, having CNN be the only English channel.

Sunday: catching up on work and then maybe more touristy stuff, and hopefully a nice dinner with my colleague who's flying in that day.
I made up cards for my callig biz using vistaprint, and they were pretty cheap. I think I got about 250 for $20 or so. As long as you don't mind the vistaprint logo on the back, they are nice quality!
1. What are you tired of this week? Partisan politics. The news. Scheming co-workers...
2. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest? I'd have to say my office. During the week it sort of becomes a "catch all" for my stuff, and when I'm not working from home a lot (which I'm not right now), I'm in there less often and don't tend to put things away as quickly...
3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause? Healthcare for all Americans - at least affordable options not associated with a job.

And as it is a night shift weekend for the Mr., I plan to hang around the house this weekend and chill. Maybe, just maybe, do a little light housekeeping...I'll have to see!
Happy Weekend, everyone!!!
2. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest? Probably the basement. Because it's a basement.
3. You're gathering signatures for a petition - what's your cause? Get the city or the bank to mow the lawn at this WT house behind our NDN's....we think it was foreclosed on but they left everything and the grass is up to my knees. We don't need rats running into our yard!!
4. Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much? Peeps. I don't care for marshmallows too much and they're just too sugary and mallowy.
5. Plans for the weekend? Watching the Red Wings and a movie tonight, we bought a new mower and some yard lights. Gonna work in the yard and chill tomorrow. Jewelry party at SIL house tomorrow night. Mother's Day we'll go to church with my mom then dinner over her house.
Wow! I missed a big posting day. . .
