Friday Five!

Time for that epic Friday Five, brought to you by Mama M!

1) Whose a better cook, you or your spouse?
Me.  Not because he can't cook but just because he doesn't.  Mr. Dan cooks pancakes and Kraft Dinner...sometimes grilled cheese or hotdogs whereas I do full meals with veggies and all.  I think Dan could be a great cook if he wanted to be but I think he's content with me filling that role.

2) How often do you talk to your mom?
All the time.  I just talked to my mom today at lunch.  We're good friends and she only live 10 mins from my house so we chat all the time.  I also am seeing her tomorrow when we go to get our hairs did and Sunday for Sunday Dinner.

3) Are you adventurous in the kitchen or do you stick to a recipe?
Depends.  If it's something I'm trying for the first time then I generally stick to a recipe...I don't wanna screw it up.  But if it's something that I"m inventing or something that I've done before then I'll head right out and experiment.

4) Is your second toe longer than your big toe?
Yes...?

5) Do you dress up for Halloween?
Yes yes yes!!! I don't know what I'm doing this year but I'm going shopping tonight so I'll let y'all know asap!

Happy Weekend, peeps!!

Friday Five!

Time for my regular Friday Five, where you get to know my inner most secrets.  Sort of.

1) What do you listen to while driving?
Depends.  I listen to CBC a lot (news radio) during the day.  But generally I like some good tunes so I'll turn on one of the Top 40 stations in town.

2)What is your least favorite thing about Fall?
Colds.  I currently have a wicked cold that is preventing me from breathing out my nose.  Also, it is preventing me from visiting my grandmother at the nursing home this weekend because I can't risk getting her sick.  UGH

3)What does your dream house look like? Inside and out?
BIG white house with black or green shutters.  LOTS of windows.  On 5 acres part of it needs to be fenced for the dogs.  I need a big 2 level deck with hot tub and BBQ.  Just outside the city, within commuting distance.

Inside it needs to have 2 levels and a finished basement.  We need a big kitchen with island, a dining room, big living room with a fireplace and main floor bath/laundry.  Upstairs needs 4  bedrooms(maybe 5) with the master having an ensuite.  An extra bath for the kids.  I want a balcony, just a small one, outside our bedroom so we can sit in the evening and hide from the kids.  The basement needs a rec room, workshop and a den/office as well as someplace to store the deep freeze.

4) Would you ever own a minivan?
Yes.  I want five kids.  I need one.  But Mr. Dan says only 3 kids. I still think a minivan would help.

5) Do you wash new clothes before wearing them?
Nope.  Usually I'm so excited that I put them on that day.  lol

Friday Five!

Time again for the fabulous Friday Five, brought to you by Mama M at My Little Life.

1) Did you have a pen pal when you were little (or now)? Where were/are they from?
We had a pen pal project when we were in school.  We wrote letters to another class in the same city and they wrote back.  My pen pal's name was Erin and she lived about 10 minutes away from me.  hahaha


2) If you could do a different job for one day, what would it be?
I'd want to be a teacher.  I always thought about being a teacher...maybe some day...

3) Do you remember your biggest fear from when you were little?
I was terrified of bridges.  Still make me queasy.

4) What do you think is a waste of time? Why?
I think calling pretty much any customer service center is a waste of time.  You're on hold for 20 minutes then you get someone who can't really help you and most of the time you end up getting frustrated before they get someone who fixes the problem in 5 minutes.  So why did it take 30 minutes to get there? Waste of time.  I just go in to the stores now...if I can.

5) What is the oldest item you have in your closet?
Well I keep my blankets in my closet so if we're talking the physical space then it's a quilt from my grandmother (I think her mother made it..).  If we're talking clothing then probably my Curtis house FROSH shirt from 2004.  GO CURTIS BULLDOGS!!

Friday Five!!

Time for my Friday Five, as posted by the lovely Mama M. at Five Crooked Halos!

1) If you could speak with a different accent, what would it be?
Probably Irish.  I love a good thick Irish accent!!

2) Can you fall asleep anywhere?
I can actually only (usually) fall asleep in a bed.  Preferably my bed.  I've been known to sleep in chairs or on couches when I've had a few too many adult beverages but generally, being a larger lady, it's a lot easier to sleep in a good ol' bed.

3)Do you use public restrooms? If so, do you sit on the toilet?
I've been known to use a public restroom or two.  If I do use them I wipe 'em down with toilet paper and then sit.  Hovering is annoying.

4) If you were stuck in an elevator for 24 hours, what celebrity would you most want to be stuck with?
Hmmmm...Chelsea Handler.  She'd have a good amount of Belvedere Vodka that we could enjoy...I'm sure it would be a good time!!

5) Where did you and your significant other go on your first date?
We went to Tim Hortons and had coffee.  We stayed for over 3 hours and just talked.  *sigh* It was wonderful!!

Friday Five!

This is something new I'm going to try.  I wandered on over to My Little Life earlier today and she has this five questions up each Friday.  I think it would be fun to play along.  So without further ado...

1) What is the first nightmare you remember?

I had this reoccurring nightmare from since before I can remember until I was about 18.  I was being chased through our house by his HUGE wolf.  It was big and black and it would chase me up the stairs (we lived on the top floor of my grandparent's house) then I'd slam the door and lean against it.  I could hear it out there growling and then it would get quiet.  I'd look and it would be gone.  I'd be excited until I realized it was coming for the back door.  So I'd run to shut that door and it would ALMOST get in.  Then I'd realize I hear the front door open and it would continue with me running back and forth for what seemed like ages.  Eventually I'd be running across a bridge that was made of rope and I'd fall through and wake up.

Strange...

2) Even if you're not a sports fan, what is your favorite sport to play/watch?

I love hockey.  I'm Canadian.  I can't help it.

3) If you could pull off one piece of trendy fashion, what would it be?

I dunno...maybe something about leggings.  I like leggings but I refuse to wear a t-shirt and leggings, they have to be under a dress or long shirt.  So maybe leggings with just a nice tee or something...

4) Did you make good grades in school?

Yes.  Except once I hit grade 8 my French grades hit the can.  I found conjugating those damned verbs really hard! SO MANY!

5) What magazines do you subscribe to?

None!! lol

I used to have a subscription to Bon Appetit but it was a gift and once it ran out I left it alone.
