Only a few hours left in this workday… and then it’s the weekend!!! Three days off!!! YAY!!!

I was going to vlog this week… but the questions were super hard (at least for me and my overly tired mind last night and today) so I’m taking my time and writing it out. Not that it makes the questions any easier. I just don’t have to cut and splice together the video so that y’all aren’t watching me ramble on for 15 minutes trying to figure out what to say.

So, hopefully I’ll be back with a vlog next week… I have to admit, it was kinda fun. And I didn’t realize that I had such a strong mid-western accent until I was told by a few friends out there. LOL

Now it’s time for another 5 Question Friday with Mama M….

Here are the questions for this week…

1. What is one thing you miss the most about childhood?
So many things come to mind.

Not having responsibilities. Like money responsibilities. And work responsibilities.

Yeah. Can I go back to that?

2. Are you still friends with your friends from high school?
While I have reconnected with a LOT of people on Facebook (haven’t we all???), I can still honestly say that I am not friends – or even see/talk to/e-mail/communicate on an occational basis – with anyone that I was friends with in high school. Really sad… because I would love to reconnect with some of my friends from my senior year. However, I don’t think any of them know how to “relate” to me as I am not really the same person as I was back then (I think I’m MUCH better now.)

3. Is there a catch phrase, cliche, or word that just drives you bonkers every time you hear it?
I know there is… I’m just too tired to think of what it is. If I do think of it, I’ll come back and update – and put that part of the answer in red.

Although, I’m sure that there are a few words or phrases that bug everyone around me because I over use them.

Like.

Seriously.

Ya know?

Yeah.

4. What is one thing that you think symbolizes America…besides “Old Glory”?
When I think of America… many monuments and documents come to mind as  symbols as well as “Old Glory”. Places like the statue of Liberty, Liberty Bell, White House (as well as a slew of other building in Washington DC) and Mount Rushmore. Documents like the Declaration of Independance and the Constitution.

5. What are your 4th of July weekend plans?
Ok, so I am afraid of actually typing this out because I will actually hold myself to this list… and then will feel really, really, really guilty when I don’t complete it. Seriously I will.

But I’ll list all of it out anyway… I’m just warning you about the guilt now.

• Work on wedding programs for my brothers wedding (and hopefully get a LONG way on them!)
• Redo my Google Reader. Right now it’s just sad, lonely and fills up quickly… which keeps me scared away from enjoying it.
• Write a couple of blog posts.
• Do my puzzle – or at least get a big chunk done.
• Color 2 pictures in my coloring book.
• Cook something new.
• Finish the book  I’ve started.
• Put together my journal for the “Creativity Exchange” I’m participating in.

Oh yeah. And go to lunch at my parents house on Sunday to celebrate Father’s Day. Yeah. Cuz that’s how we roll in these parts.

So what do you think? How about you… do you have spectactular weekend plans????
