Working It

More Friday5!

1. What transformation do you undergo on summer Fridays at midnight?

2. What super power do the kids in your neighborhood seem to have?
:: Cuteness power. I adore the kids in our neighborhood.

3. Who (or what!) is your nemesis in these warm summer days?
:: Sweaty underarms, hehehe.

4. What is your trustiest weapon against the evil heat monster?
:: A good dip in the pool, or a run through the waterpark. And a nice huge bowl of ice cream while tinkering with the mini portables.

5. What seems to be invading your life lately, and how will you fend it off?
:: Boredom and laziness. I just think of the many chores that would crowd around me if I didn’t get to it and it gets my butt off of the couch.

More Friday5!

1. Of the products you use just to keep yourself clean and presentable, what seems to be the most overpriced?
:: My mascara. I am loyal to one brand because it works great, but I sometimes can’t help thinking if a cheaper brand would do. But no, I tried the cheap brands and they don’t work as well, hehe. :)

2. Where in your house is a reliable place to get a few quarters?
:: The pocket of my husband’s pants. In the laundry room. Or bedroom.

3. A rare yes-or-no question on Friday 5: Have you ever dropped your cell phone onto your face?
:: Yes. Many times. Texting while lying down can be a hazard. :)

4. What did you last take out of your freezer?
:: Ground chicken.

5. How many rolls of wrapping paper do you have in your house?
:: More than necessary, haha! I could make stanchions out of them from our house to Hollywood. I just don’t think I have enough velvet ropes. :)

3. What goes into your ears on a good morning?
:: The sound of my children greeting me a sleepy ‘good morning’.

4. What goes into a healthy but yummy lunch?
:: I don’t know, hahaha! If its yummy, it can’t be healthy, right? :D

5. What goes into a productive evening?
:: All chores done, fishnet bodysuit on, big smile from husband. :)

More Friday5! Even though, summer has already come and gone. :)

1. What was your best summer vacation like?
:: Travelling with the family. I’ve had lots of great summer vacations and they’ve always involved exploring new places with my family.

2. What was your worst summer vacation like?
:: Being stuck at home all summer. Or, going to school to do summer classes. I mean, its the only time in the whole year that we don’t need to go to school and yet… you know what I mean.

3. What food or drink reminds you of a particular summer?
:: Fresh coconut juice straight from the tree.

4. What summer-only activity do you now look most forward to every year?
:: Waking up late. :) Now that I have a school-age kid, I have never been more sleep deprived than when I was going to school myself. :) For next year, though, I am looking forward to browsing invitations at invitationbox.com bachelorette party invitations for any of my unmarried sisters.

5. What summer movie or summer reading are you most looking forward to this year?
:: All summer movies are fun, I look forward to them all.

More Friday5!

1. What puts you in a creative mood?
:: Peace and quiet. Its hard to whip up some ideas when the entire household is in chaos.

2. What puts you in a silly mood?
:: Receiving a diamond ring from the hubby. I mean, anybody would feel giddy silly when she’s suddenly face to face with her best friend. :D

3. What puts you in a contemplative mood?
:: When I hear from family or friends back home, I always wonder how things are or will be without us near them.

4. What puts you in a competitive mood?
:: When I see something that someone else has done that I absolutely know I can do better. I always tell myself that its not the arrogance in me talking (really now), but my competitive self. :D

5. If you’d call yourself a talkative person, what puts you in a quiet mood? If you’d call yourself a quiet person, what puts you in a talkative mood?
:: I’m the quiet kind, and having good friends to talk to puts me in a talkative mood. Also, as my husband always tells me, talking about my kids always puts me in a talkative mood.

Thanks for the post, Nora Howe.

I love staying fit and it’s really important to me that I pass those lessons on to my kids. I came from a family of obese women and the last thing I want for my daughters is for them to struggle with their weight their whole lives like I have. At home we only watch satellitetvfamily for an hour a day and then they have to go outside and play – I think those few extra minutes and hours of running around really make a difference and I’m hoping to inspire a life-long love of exercise in them. I also have been cooking less sweets and baked goods (which is painful for me, believe me) but I think my kids are really starting to understand the basics of healthy eating. They’ve been asking for fruits and veggies and they don’t even beg for fast food anymore which I think is huge in the long run and is really going to make a difference in their lives. I want to set them up for success as adults!
