FRIDAY BLANKS, IT'S BEEN A WHILE!

1.  I am  , to this day, still afraid to look into a mirror in the dark after the boys on my bus, when I was 5, told me about Bloody Mary  .

2.   I have always   wanted to live in Europe   .

3.  I hope to     one day make a living doing something I love  .

4. I can    bend my index finger backward to touch the back on my hand. Yep, it's as gross looking as it sounds .

5. I dream of    ,right now?, my wedding. Mostly that it will just magically appear and happen without me having to do any planning or anything. That would be ideal.

6. The way to my heart is   through tacos (veggie style). And puppies  .

7.  I am passionate about   vegetarianism .

TODAY IS RAINY

All week has been rainy, actually.

But it's Friday! Thank goodness. And that means it's:

1.   The most selfless thing I've ever done was     always let Kyle win at Monopoly when we were little so that he'd keep playing with me. (Ok, maybe he legitimately won, but it helped my little 8-year-old self-esteem at the time!)   .

2.   When it comes to working out    I've been slacking lately, but I do enjoy it! 

3.  A woman should always   have a cute apron   .

4. I wish I could    bake all day and grow money on trees    because then I'd    start a cute little baking blog and open RooCakes (my dream bakery) in the cozy, yellow, vacant corner shop down the street across from starbucks. Chubbs would lazy around in the window all day and be our store mascot    .

5.  A best friend is    essential in life; they're just wonderful .

6.  I can't get enough of     baking (PUMPKIN!) and fall-scented candles these days .

7.  This weekend I am    yard-saling, cleaning the house, and then enjoying the clean house with a glass of wine and my latest knitting project   .

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

FILL-IN-THE-BLANK FRIDAY

1.   Something popular that I can't stand/just don't "get" is     Ugg boots. Horrible, just horrible .

2.   Something unpopular that I secretly love is    roller blading. It's so good for you, why did it become nerdy?!? 

3.  When I've had a bad day I   sit on the front porch with Chubbs and a glass of wine   .

4. I'd prefer    mexican [food]    to    italian [food]      any day.

5.  Something that makes me nervous is    all this rain/hurricane/tornado business .

6.  Something worth fighting for is     family .

7.  When people think of me, I hope they think    something nice or else I'm doing something wrong :)  .

Want to get in on the fun? Check out Lauren's blog here.

Happy Friday...I have a three day weekend and the Horns play tomorrow...Woohoo!

HI :) IT'S FRIDAY!

1.   The last thing I ate was       A SmartDog Tofu Dog this morning...I know, gross, but this girl needed a boost of protein .

2.  The next thing I'd like to eat is    Homemade Pizza from Pete's Birthday dinner, buuuuut I left it in the fridge this morning as I rushed out the door :( No pizza for me...

3.  The best things     are family and friends (and pets).

4.  Something that makes me supremely and utterly happy is   a clean house. There's something about a clean house that emanates calm  .

5.  Sports are     something I've never been good at. And I'm ok with that :) .

6.  I miss     ,  sometimes, the days of flashlight tag and fort-building. When you're only worry is whether your friends will be able to play or not. Oh the joys of being a kid  .

7.  Right now I am       incredibly antsy to get on the plane to North Carolina to see my whole family for my nephew's baptism! I almost can't stand myself   . 

FILL IN ZE BLANKS

Because I started it and never got to finish...

1.   What I love most about my home is       pretty much everything; the front porch, backyard, location, how the kitchen opens to the family room, the windows and bright light that comes in and the pets that live inside. It truly feels like a home and it's just perfect for me.    .

2.  I'm excited because,    I'm having a Cinco De Mayo party tomorrow!!!!

3.  My preferred method for blowing  off steam when I'm frustrated is     to cry it out and vent to someone that I know will love me even after I yell at them for something that's not their fault at all (usually The Mom)   .

4.  Currently I am craving   Classic Diner; I have a lunch date with the boy there today and it just can't come fast enough  .

5.  The thing I love most about my mom is     her selflessness. And her extreme love for M&Ms  .

6.  If I was going to write a book about my life, the title would be       "A Perfectionist and OCD Sandwich." Perfectionism from The Dad + OCD Cleanliness from The Mom = Me; sometimes it's probably pretty entertaining   .

7.  If I were to eat one thing for the rest of eternity it would be       pizza. Bet you didn't guess that one! Calcium, protein, carbs, fats, fruits (tomato sauce) and veggies all in one; perfecto. 

FR-FR-FR-FRIDAY

1.   The phrase or punctuation I overuse most is       '...' and the word 'definitely' I don't even realize I overuse them, but I often type the way my mind thinks which makes for a lot of ellipses. Oh, and smiley faces b/c I'm always afraid my typing will come off the wrong way...although I hate when other people overuse them...how ironic  .

2.  Today I am thankful for    Mardi Gras parties and sunshine...both make for a fabulous start to the weekend   .

3.  My best friend is    probably The Mom. She's the best  .

4.  A quirky thing about me is     that I don't like bumpy things; they freak me out. Not like oatmeal or an aggragate pavement, but more along the lines of stripped paint, barnacles and horse apples... 

5.  This weekend I     am going to a Mardi Gras party, hopefully stopping by the Farmer's Market, and hanging out with the boy :) So looking forward to it all! 

6.  Something that worries me is        my car. Car repair bills are no joke and I've been having quite a few of them lately. It's not even that old, but my car often feels like it might just fall apart at any given time. Every time I get in it I wonder if today will be the day...hah! How sad    .

7.  On my night stand you would find       an iHome, a candle, a pair glasses, dust and ear plugs (the only way to get sleep with a snoring pup!)     .

Now play along and link up over at Lauren's.

Happy Friday! Love you all.

THE BLANKS ARE BACK

1.   I am       so cold. All the time. Winter in Pennsylvania is not for the cold-blooded  .

2.  The bravest thing I've ever done was    Hmmmm, I don't think I'm all that brave...after I go skydiving I might say that if that counts   .

3.  I feel prettiest when       I'm fresh out of the shower and squeaky clean after a good workout    .

4.  Something that keeps me awake at night is   thinking about the next day's schedule...so frustrating when I can't get my mind to stop    .

5.  My favorite meal in the entire world is     Chips and Queso, Guacamole, Tacos, and Chocolate Chocolate Chip Chocolate Cake for dessert  .

6.  The way to my heart is        through (this is cheesy, but) sincerity; this girl doesn't handle fake very well. Chocolate Ice Cream also works .

7.  I would like to       win the lottery? Oh, and tell Lady Gaga she's ridiculous. Who wastes three days of their life in an egg?

Ah, it feels good to be back on the Friday train.

Happy Friday friends!

FRIDAY FOR ALL

1.   My Thanksgiving plans this year will include       family, food, fun and relaxation...some of the best things in life!   .

2.  My favorite Thanksgiving was   probably all the ones when I was little, before I knew or cared about calories! Just kidding, they're all pretty great, anytime my family is all in the same place at the same time is usually a good time :) Some of my favorite non-traditional Thanksgivings, though, include 2007 (?) in Cali with Kyle and Steph, 2005 in Houston with the Grosse's, 2008 with the Mak team in the Dominican Republic, and 2009 veg-style with The Dad  .

3.  My signature Thanksgiving dish is       I haven't hosted my own Thanksgiving yet so I don't think I have one, but some I fully intend on it one day being The Mom's stuffing .

4.  My favorite Thanksgiving food is   ,(per above), Stuffing :)   .

5.  Thanksgiving free association!      I just had to google Free Association, yikes... but for those who also don't know (I hope there's a few!), find out here.

6.  Thansgiving is        the best when started at 8am with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade !

7.  I am thankful for       so many things and people and memories; way too many to list     .
