5. Plans for the weekend? DH has an event at work Saturday, Sunday, and Monday so I won't see him at all. I am going to try to not make any plans and just have some me time, as the next few weeks are going to be crazy. I offered to make a girl at work mermaid cosutmes for her daughters for Halloween so I might try and come up with something easy and see if she wants me to keep on it. I love doing that kind of stuff and it would be nice to help her out since she helps me out so much with everything.
1. If you were to get smashed in the face with a pie, what flavor would you like it to be? (I hope you enjoyed reading and answering this question as much as I enjoyed coming up with it, I kept giggling I had the mental image of us all with pies ready to aim :-) I would like strawberry!
2. What was your favorite day/activity that was out of the ordinary at school? (i.e. plays, choir performances, play day, crazy dress day, etc) We had "May day play day" which was the whole school K-8 divided into groups and team up for tasks like relay races, water balloon tosses, tug of war, etc. So much fun!! )
3. What is your strongest common interest with DH? Sports have become a big part of our routine life, we also enjoy tropical places and margaritas :-)
4. Do you subscribe to any magazines? If so what one(s)? None! I don't have time or the desire to sit and read regularly but I occasionally pick up Every Day with Rachael Ray.

Tomorrow at noon we're taking my nephew Zach bowling for his birthday present and then later in the day going to a birthday party for a hockey teammate of DH's. Sunday I'm going bridesmaid dress shopping with Brenna and two other bridesmaids and having "linner" at Brenna's parents house (next door to my dad). I'll probably pop in for a few to say hi to him before I leave the area.

For sure - lemon merengue!
2. What was your favorite day/activity that was out of the ordinary at school? (i.e. plays, choir performances, play day, crazy dress day, etc)
Definitely "School Spirit Day" and "Game Day" Fridays! Everyone wore school colors (orange/blue) and the feeling throughout the school was amazing. Didn't help that our football team was a perennial top team (produced a few NFLers), and I simply loved it!
3. What is your strongest common interest with DH?
This is an awesome question! It's hard to say what our "strongest" common interest is, but at the top would be: political views, importance of family (even though they are aggravating at times...hehe), love for antique shopping, pet rescue efforts and being service minded, especially to those underprivileged.
4. Do you subscribe to any magazines? If so what one(s)?
I do! Country Living, House Beautiful, Elle, Elle Decor, Woman's Day, Glamour, Better Homes and Gardens, and ESPN - the magazine!
5. Plans for the weekend?
Catching up on some household errands that have gone by the wayside with the last couple of weeks of busy work/travel is at the top of the list. Next up is decorating the outside for fall. Beyond that - getting some R&R!
Have a good weekend, Ladies!
2. What was your favorite day/activity that was out of the ordinary at school? (i.e. plays, choir performances, play day, crazy dress day, etc) School spirit days where everyone dressed up in crazy outfits - my favorite was probably cross-dresser day because it was oh-so-much-more awkward for teenage boys than girls
3. What is your strongest common interest with DH? Science, duh!
4. Do you subscribe to any magazines? If so what one(s)? The Economist - I like graphs
5. Plans for the weekend? Movie date tonight, then buying more knitting supplies (did I mention that practically ALL of my friends are pregnant!?!) and knitting like my life depended on it!
