Five Question Friday

My Little Life



1.Did you pass your driver's test the first time? Yes, but the lady that tested me was really irritable when the "automatic" seatbelt in my dad's car messed up the bun in her hair. She spent the whole time looking in the mirror fixing her hairdo. (did anyone else have one of those seatbelts?)


2.What is your most embarrassing moment? When I was a senior in high school, I got a job doing office work for a home healthcare company. I was very excited, it was so "grown up". On my first day of work. I woke up feeling nauseated. I couldn't call in sick my first day. I took a big dose of Pepto Bismol and tried to convince myself I was fine.I showed up on time, feeling very grown up in my white blouse and skirt. I met my new boss and co workers, and started training. About an hour into it I knew I was in trouble. I broke out into a cold sweat, and bolted for the bathroom that was out of the office and down the hall.
I didn't make it.
I threw up all over the door, floor, and myself. A very nice, and I'm sure grossed out, lady told me she would call maintenance to clean up. Meanwhile, I cleaned myself up the best I could, and took the walk of shame back to my new offfice. With bright pink, Pepto Bismol vomit stains covering my shirt, I humbly asked the boss if I could go home early--after a whopping one hour of work. They were so nice in the long run, no one ever mentioned it again. (to my face anyway...)



3. What TV show would you rather be on, Oprah, The Biggest Loser, or What Not To Wear? Honestly, none of the. I would rather be on Wipeout!

4. Would you ever get plastic surgery, and what kind? I would love a lift, but not on my face if you know what I mean.

5.What are your favorite jeans to wear? Anything I can find short enough. I'm 5 ft, and they are usually about 8" too long.

Technologically challenged


I am new to blogging.

I am new to Twitter.

I am actually new to reading my email daily.

When I was in school, email was still new. (guess that shows my age)

I didn't have a cell phone until I was married. (I married really young. )

I have run my business from home for the past 11 years, with very little need for a computer....until now.

This time last year, I couldn't even copy and paste. I've come a long way.

I labored over putting up a website. I had a successful business without it, did I need it? Would it really get out to anyone?

So, I was super excited today when my neighbor called and told me that Kelly from Kelly's Korner had written something on Twitter about my website!!


Some of you may not know who she is, but she writes one of the few blogs I read. She is a cute little mom, and a christian making a difference. She writes often about her faith, her family, and is always spreading the word when prayers are needed. She is the Oprah of Mom blogs.

I tried to tell my mom. When I said she "tweeted" about me, I got a blank stare. She had no idea what I was talking about. I tried to explain. She pretended to understand.

I think I need to convince her how important it is for her to learn her way around her laptop. Especially if she wants to ever communicate with her grandchildren once they hit their teens. If I can do it - so can she.




I mailed out a cute little pillow today. Here is the bedding I needed to match. It's called Sumersault Geo.




I see Lilly playing with balls, her kitchen, crayons and play-doh. But, what is it about seeing her play with dolls that makes my heart flutter?? I just love it.




Here, her dolls were sick. All four of them. It must have been an epidemic. I think she's giving baby #1 a shot.


I always seem to be posting pictures of Lilly and not the boys. But, Jackson has school everyday, and Baker just can't seem to keep his shirt on. I'm not sure where he got the idea that clothes are just for 'going out'. His around the house look is often not blog appropriate.

I don't want to be the Jerry Springer of mom blogs.
