Flashback Friday and More

Flashback Friday

{Me, 1982}

Excuse me ma'am! May I see your license and registration?
Clearly my fascination for cars began at a very young age. Since my sixteenth birthday, I've had 4 different cars; I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that Gillian Grace doesn't inherit my predilection for big expensive toys!



Five Question Friday

1. Do you have any nicknames and if so how did it come about?

I have several nicknames. My family calls me Sly (initials of my first, middle, and maiden name); my grandfather calls me Windy because he thinks I talk incredibly fast; my mom has called me Myrtle Mae since I can remember, but why I'm not sure; and my Aunt Helen still calls me Toot to this day. And, no Toot doesn't have anything to do with what the name implies---I'm a lady, remember!

2. What is your birth order amongst your siblings?

I am an only child, so I guess that makes me the first and the last!



3. In a movie of your life, who would play your significant other?

If I could cast anyone to play hubs in a movie of our life I'd choose Ben Affleck. He's always been able to fly under the Hollywood radar and lead a seemingly normal life. He's good looking; is what appears to be a great family man; and has played a lot of very different roles. And though not part of the question, I'd also choose his real life wife, Jennifer Garner to play me.

4. What is currently your favorite song?

My favorite song right now has to be Soul Sister by Train. It's a little over-played, but that doesn't bother me much because Gillian Grace lights up like Time Square every time she hears the opening riff. Hey, hey, hey...



5. Are you saving your money for anything right now? Big or small purchase?

Feels like we're always trying to save money, it's just a little harder now that I'm a stay-at-home mom without an income! There are tons of home renovation projects, like new windows and siding, on our wish list. And of course there's someone's college education to consider. It's too bad money really doesn't grow on trees!
