    3. What is your strongest common interest with DH? Cooking. And beer. Hehe

    4. Do you subscribe to any magazines? If so what one(s)? Bon Appetit; DH gets the economist and Rolling Stone and my friend always gives me her Women's Health when she's done with it so I think that counts too!

    5. Plans for the weekend? Going to some german restaurant with our german neighbors for dinner tonight - should be interesting! Tomorrow GYM and then doing some shopping for the house and maybe a little early xmas shopping. Sunday I sincerely hope to do nothing except maybe sit by the pool.

    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) I always liked spirit week. There was a day that each class wore a different color and my friends and I would have a BLAST decorating shirts in that color every year and going crazy.

    3. What is your strongest common interest with DH? Sports (alllll sports)

    4. Do you subscribe to any magazines? If so what one(s)?  US Weekly, Allure, ESPN, Entertainment Weekly, All You. I looove magazines and when I get an email from a deal website that it is only like 2.00 for a year subscription I jump right on it.

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 would say cherry. Every year on the day of Homecoming none of us cheerleaders (or dancers) could speak one word unless to a teacher. Whoever got us to talk first, got to smash us with a whipped cream pie at the pep rally! One year I made it to about 7th period and a kid two years under me said, "Have you talked yet, Danie?"...I go, "Nope!" -Busted. Hahahaha! I never made it! Those who did though, got to choose any student or teacher to smash a pie in their face! 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) The last day of school was a riot here! We were done by noon, then usually followed with a huge water fight (like, we all drove around and used squirt guns and water balloons to nail each other), then a big party afterwards. In small towns you have to find ways to amuse yourself. I was really active with stuff in high school, so I don't think one thing every stood out from the other too much.  Oh, homecoming week was the shiz! Seriously, started with decorating the school on Saturday & Sunday before, then a theme each day for costumes, then huge pep rally with the whole town before the game, then a dance the next day.3. What is your strongest common interest with DH? Um, football and friends. We both grew up in the same small town, so most of the things about us are pretty in common with each other.  4. Do you subscribe to any magazines? If so what one(s)? I get Glamour and Women's Health5. Plans for the weekend? Tonight we HAVE to go grocery shopping...the fridge is completely bare! Then tomorrow there is a beer & wine tasting with an appetizer competition that I'm entering in. Sunday I have a volleyball tournament starting at 9 am. The Lions game is on TV here, so I will be able to DVR it to watch when I get home...yay!

  • 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.

    5. Plans for the weekend? Tonight I am chilling out doing much of nothing. 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.

  • 1. If you were to get smashed in the face with a pie, what flavor would you like it to be?

    Love this question!!!  I'd say lemon meringue!

    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)

    I guess field trips - I used to love those!  We went to the children's museum, we went to Dorney Park, we went to Wild West City.  All kinds of fun stuff!

    ETA: Oh! And the last few days of school before summer vacay and we'd be allowed to watch movies and bring in board games!

    3. What is your strongest common interest with DH?

    We both really appreciate crap reality TV sometimes!

    4. Do you subscribe to any magazines? If so what one(s)?

    Better Homes and Gardens and Weight Watchers magazines - for the recipes :)

    5. Plans for the weekend? 

    Tonight - Hubby comes home from his biz trip - I really miss him!!  His parents are coming over for dinner, it's FIL's bday

    Saturday - I have my friend's baby shower - she's expecting twin girls!!! 

    Sunday - I have some spa appointments that I can.not.wait.for.  I plan to just relax that whole day!

     

  • 1. If you were to get smashed in the face with a pie, what flavor would you like it to be? Chocolate or whipped cream probably. I'm not a fruit pie person.

    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) Well I was involved all the school plays/musicals lol so I always LOVED them.

    3. What is your strongest common interest with DH? Eating out in the city. Though we don't do it often due to finances.

    4. Do you subscribe to any magazines? If so what one(s)? Rachel Ray (it was nearly free and gives me some decent ideas for food), cosmo, glamour (both gifts from grandma who is a magazine fan!!)

    5. Plans for the weekend? Probably seeing some friends tomorrow night other then that nothing really. Cleaning my house I hope though....thats key.

  • 1. If you were to get smashed in the face with a pie, what flavor would you like it to be?

    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!
