Hello all! I seem to be feeling quite a bit better after a run of pneumonia. Quite a bit better means that I'm still not at full capacity but I'm certainly getting there!
As I was browsing blog sites today I ran into a blog called
Anyone who knows me....knows that I love memes or any kind of blog prompts.
So let's begin!

FIVE QUESTION FRIDAY!
1. Have you worn the same outfit more than one day in a row?
Not currently, but that answer would be a big fat yes about eighteen years ago when I had my first child. I didn't have a whole lot of help after my son was born so taking a shower and putting on a nice new set of clothing would have been a luxury.
2. If you had to choose any LARGE city to live in, which would it be?
I'm actually currently living in it. We live about 30 miles outside of Houston, TX, and I couldn't be happier. I was raised here but in 1996 we had to move to St. Louis, MO, to be close to my aging parents. Besides spending those last 12 years with them; I absolutely hated it. However, I wouldn't have traded it for the world had I missed those last years with my parents.
3. Fly or drive with the kids on vacation?
My kids are 14 and 18; so to save money we typically drive. However we have always driven because we've always had a van and it has been big enough for the kids to spread out. Maybe that wasn't the safest thing to do but whatever it took to keep them from screaming!
4. What is your idea of "spring cleaning"?
Calling a maid service. I have health problems that prevent me from cleaning the way a house should be spring cleaned. My wonderful husband does all that he can but a person can only do so much on the weekends.
5. What is the best book you have ever read?
The best book I've ever read is called "Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail"
written by Malika Oufkir. It's probably one of the saddest but uplifting books I've read, too. It starts out really slow and you really want to throw it to the side and say "forget it". However, something about the books keeps pulling you in chapter by chapter and it turns into an amazing read. Please take the time to read it for yourself.
I spent 20 years in a desert jail one night. Just kidding. I did sleep in a jail cell once when I was a little kid. My mom and sister went to a weekend "ladies retreat," and my Dad was working swing shift, so he took me to work one night. When it got really late (maybe 7:30 or 8:00) he put me in the jail cell so I could stretch out on the bed in there. I woke up the next morning in my own bed at home. I don't know who bailed me out.
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of good books, have you read Paul Nichols' book, "Just Seven Blocks from the Mexican Border?" He told me he'd autograph one for you if you order it from him. I'm just sayin'. ;)
That is a wonderful book, too! I still need to send my copy in for an autograph!
ReplyDeleteI must confess... I have worn outfits more than one day. But I'm pretty sure being a mom had something to do with it. ;) Houston has quite a bit to offer. :)
