Ways to avoid housework

Posted on August 1, 2008 by abbysmom1005

I saw this posted on Joyce’s blog and decided it was a good distraction from the housework that I should be doing.

21+ questions

  1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My middle name is after my grandmother on my mom’s side. It was also her mother’s middle name and I gave the same middle name to Abby.
  2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? About 3 weeks ago, after my back surgery, when I did not seem to be any better.
  3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? No, not at all. It is actually something I have always wanted to work on and never made the effort.
  4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Turkey.
  5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Yes, one fantastic little girl.
  6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS
    WITH YOU?     Of course!
  7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Yes, but not as much since being a SAHM. I find two years olds do not really get the sarcasm.
  8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes
  9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? No.
  10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? I do not eat cereal much, when I do I am a plain jane cereal girl, Corn Flakes or Raisin Bran usually does it for me.
  11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE them off? Not many of my shoes tie, but if they do no I do not untie them before taking them off.

  13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Blue Bell cookies and cream.

  15. RED OR PINK? Red
  16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?* oops, I should read closer. I first thought, and answered, it said “favorite thing about yourself” I missed the “least” part.   physically- my teeth. personality- I have a hard time letting things go, not physical things, but stuff that happens.
  17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? My grandma.
  18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU? I hope others steal it for their blogs. It has been fun to read the few that I have seen so far.
  19. WHAT COLOR SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? I am not wearing any. I always kick my shoes off at the door as soon as I walk in the house. Abby does the same thing, it dries DH crazy.
  20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Mom, Abby, and I went to The Spicy Pickle for lunch. I had never been before it was really good. I had a turkey, artichoke, and feta cibatta, and a side greek salad.

    Me again (responding). The Spicy Pickle is my all time favorite sandwich place of all time. I have only ever had their Roma Sandwich (which is, I feel, accountable for at least 5 of the pounds on my hips).
