Flashback Friday and More

Flashback Friday

Is your car dirty? Well y'all, get out your tokens and platforms, it's time for a c a r w a s h!



This video was shot at a school fundraiser back in 2005. Each year all the teachers, on each grade level, were asked to perform a skit for the students and parents. Needless to say, though some of us dreaded the silly garb and goofy performances, year after year we put our egos aside for a night. After all, it was for the kids. {Forgive the cliche, I've just always wanted to say that and mean it!} Though it's not that old, this video has enough of a history to totally make me cringe with embarrassment every time I see it replayed. To keep a little of my dignity and self respect in tact, I'll only give you a hint as to my identity in the video---
                   

    If you only had glasses you'd see that I'm right in FROnt of you!

Did you see me?



Five Question Friday

Yay for 5QF fun hosted by Mama M.! If you'd like to participate head on over to My Little Life and link up.







1. Do you feel guilty spending money on yourself?

Yes!!! No matter how deserving I think I am, when it comes down to buying something for myself, the guilt usually gets the best of me before I have a chance to make it to the register. Funny thing is, I don't have any hesitation forking over the cash for anyone else, and it all comes from the same place. But then again, I guess we all have our weird hangups, now don't we?

2. How well do you know your neighbors?

We live in a relatively small neighborhood and out of the fifteen houses on our street, we are cordial with just about everyone, but really know only about two families really well. And for the majority of neighbors we don't know, Bret and I are perfectly content making up scenarios about their lives and comings and goings.

Together we've surmised that our across the street neighbors are in sales of some sort based on the high frequency of UPS deliveries and large volume of strangers constantly parading in and out of their home. Either that or the neighbors are running some sort of suburban bordello. And you thought Wisteria Lane was exciting!


3. What age are you looking forward to being?

I'm not looking forward to being any age in particular. I am just thankful to wake up each day no matter if it's now at 31, or twenty years down the road.

4. Do you get excited when the mail comes? Why?

I love getting mail of any kind, I'm not too picky. But there definitely is something extra exciting about heading out to the mailbox only to find that Darren, our mailman, has left something good in our box. And by good, I of course mean one of three things: an US Weekly magazine, catalogs from Pottery Barn, or a real letter form a family member or friend.

5. What is your earliest childhood memory?

It's hard to distinguish between early genuine memories and what I remember only because I've heard about it millions of times though the accounts of others. One thing is for certain, I vividly remember many early mornings before school spent having breakfast with my father at McDonald's or Hardee's. Those were special times with a very special man. Our breakfast tradition was one that continued on long after elementary school and through to high school until dad's chauffeur services were no longer required. And every once in a blue moon, dad even let me go into school a little late, with a proper excuse of course. {Sorry, mom!} This father daughter bonding is something that I hope Bret will continue with Gillybean. Well, minus the whole tardy for school part.
