#5QF: I'm on vacation edition…

Happy Friday! And an extra special happy Friday because I don’t have to work today!

WHAT?!?!

Yes, that’s right.

I’m on vacation.

And SO excited about it because I get to go to…

In San Francisco…

So right about the time that you are reading this during the day, I am likely travelling on a plane somewhere over the US… and if night has fallen, well I might have fallen into a bed somewhere {hopefully in my hotel} from sheer exhaustion. That wouldn’t surprise me really. :)

Anyway… it’s time for another 5 Question Friday with Mama M. – Been a couple weeks since I’ve joined in, so I hope she has me back. :)

1. Do you have any nicknames and if so how did it come about?
My dad has given me the nickname “Suzie Q”. He really likes that song (not sure who it’s by) but he calls me that from time to time… it used to bug me much more than it does now.

A couple of my friends call me “Sunshine”… not sure if it’s because I’m so “shiny” with them – or perhaps that I have a lack of enthusiasm in the morning when they see me. Me + morning = do not get along.

2. What is your birth order amongst your siblings?
I am the oldest with two younger brothers.

And yes, I have so many of the “oldest” child traits that is found in birth order books, it’s scary.

3. In a movie of your life, who would play your significant other?
Well, seeing that I don’t have a significant other at this time… when that dude comes along, whomever resembles him most from this post earlier this week will play him. :)

4. What is currently your favorite song?
I don’t know if I want to admit this.

I have two.

“Take it Off” by Ke$ha & “Love the way you lie” by Eminem (feat Rihanna)

(Hiding from the stones being thrown)

At least it’s not Justin Bieber.

I don’t understand what the world sees in that annoying kid singer that recently published his life story.

He’s 16. He hasn’t lived yet.

That is all. I’ll step off my soapbox now.

5. Are you saving your money for anything right now? Big or small purchase?
I am saving for a trip for Europe that will (hopefully) happen a couple of summers from now. I need to pay off some debt first, but then the savings will start – and the trip *will* happen. Don’t know for sure who my travel companion will be yet… but I *will* be going.

So what do you think… answer any of these different than me?

#5QF: Dreaming in color…

Happy, Happy Friday!

I’m soooo excited for this weekend I can barely stand it. I’m going to be working on making my handmade greeting cards to sell so that I can sponsor myself (and maybe if things work out REALLY well – another person) to go to The Relevant Conference this October. {I have sent out a sponsorship letter – so if that comes through – I will definitely be sponsoring someone to join me at Relevant!}

I’ll be showcasing my cards on Tuesday next week — along with details on how you will be able to purchase them! Stay tuned!!!

Now it’s time for 5 Question Friday with Mama M. — And I *LOVE* the questions this week.

1. Did you have a favorite blanket or toy as a kid? If so, do you still have it?
I had a few favorite items when I was a kid. The pink care bear and a doll come to mind right off hand. And I think that most (if not all) of the favorites are stored in bag in my parents basement. Not a great way of storage… maybe I should change that. {By the way, I can feel my mom nodding her head as she reads this.}

2. Do you dream in color?

For the most part yes. In fact I can’t remember a time that I had a dream in black and white.
And sometimes the dreams are so real that I wake up completely creeped out by them and wondering what the meaning is.

 

3. How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller?

I’m 5’7” tall.
Sometimes I wish I was a little shorter.

But never have I (nor will I ever) wish that I was taller. This is tall enough for me.

4. If you could have anyone’s (celeb or other) voice as the guide on your GPS, who would it be?

Hmmm… I think I would choose James Earl Jones. A deep, thick voice guiding me to my destination.
Or maybe someone with an Aussie accent.

Or an English accent.

Or maybe even a thick southern accent.

*swoon*

I love the accents outside of the Midwest.


:)

5. Do you return your shopping cart to the corral or leave it wherever in the parking lot?
Almost always. Might be my OCD – trying to stay organized – tendencies running thick on that one… but I also get really irritated when I’m driving through a parking lot and rogue cart is wandering into my path due to the wind.

So what do you think?? How would you answer these???

5QF: Compliments and toilet paper…

Yeah. I vlogged. And I think I chose the two most random things to put in the title today, but it’s been that kind of week. At least I can say that I got some of the cleaning things done last night that I had mentioned yesterday. Unfortunately I didn’t get much further with anything else. Oops. :(

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

Enjoy the video… and have a great weekend! :)

Here are the 5 Questions for this Friday…

1. What were your school colors?

2. What’s the best compliment you ever received?

3. Do you buy cheap or expensive toilet paper?

4. Have you ever had a surprise party thrown for you? Or have you had one for someone else?

5. What is one material possession that you “can’t live without”?

5 Question Friday: Thinking back again…

All I have to say is “YAY it’s FRIDAY!” *jumping up and down with excitement*

What a week.

Glad it’s the weekend.

And I wanted to vlog – and these questions would have been perfect for that… but I forgot until after I had gotten ready for bed, and I’m sorry – but you are *NOT* going to see me in my pj’s. :)

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

Here are the questions for this week…

1. What is one food you could eat every day?
Pizza. No wait. Pasta. Yeah.

Unless you count M&Ms. Then it’d be that. Definitely.

I think. (I hate that I have to choose just one!)

2. Are you working in the career you thought you would be when you were 18?
I’m in a field that’s related… because I wanted to be in accounting. Now I’m in a finance field. It’s all business.

But I’d rather be a writer. Or in marketing. Or public relations. :)

3. What is something that you wish you would have done when you were younger and you didn’t?
Date more. I was so scared of having people around me that I think I sheltered myself away from that entirely. Not to mention that I didn’t like myself, so (as I thought in my own head) why would anyone else like me?

It’s different now. Except I’m scared to be made a fool of – so I don’t venture out and ask. Which I think is what happens with the guys as well. Or at least that’s why I’m hoping they don’t ask me out.

4. What color are your kitchen walls?
My kitchen and living room walls are a great shade of green. It’s like a dark shade of celery. I guess.

And even after being in my house for 5 years (I moved in when it was brand new so I chose the colors), I still love that color.

5. Do you remember what your very first favorite song was?
I’ve thought and thought about this question, and honestly can’t remember what it was. I’m thinking it could have been Michael W. Smith’s “Friends” or Steven Curtis Chapman’s “Great Adventure”. But then there’s the secular music like Debbie Gibson’s “Only in my Dreams”, C+C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat” or Guns N Roses “November Rain”.

Yeah, you could say I have an eclectic taste in music.

What about you???
