Playdates + Pearls

My husband shared his cold with me, so I spent most of yesterday laying on the couch watching The Little Mermaid with Camryn. Thank you Mom for that wonderful gift, it has been a lifesaver!

While I’m relaxing, drinking my tea, and trying to fight this cold, I thought I’d let you guys know a little more about me. I saw this 99 Questions tag going around on YouTube, and I thought it’d be fun to do, just minus the video part….because I look ratchet, and nobody wants to see that!

Here we go.

1:Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?

Open. My husband & I have separate walk-in closets off our master bath, and we rarely close the doors. Although, both our closets are crazy messy since our vacation, so maybe we should close the doors. :-\

2:Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?

Uhhh DUH! Doesn’t everyone? No? They’re just so cute, and little, and useful.

3:Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?

Out. I’m a mover at night, and I hate feeling trapped.

4:Have you ever stolen a street sign before?

No. That’s illegal.

5:Do you like to use post-it notes?

I try to avoid them, even though they tempt me with their fun neon colored selves. I try to use the notepad on my phone, or a real notepad that I can keep running notes on.

6:Do you cut out coupons but then never use them?

I cut coupons and give them to my sister, who unlike me, is organized enough to remember to take them to the store….and use them.

7:Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?

Bees. Bears have giant teeth and claws. No thank you.

8:Do you have freckles?

I am a giant freckle.

9:Do you always smile for pictures?

Yep, like a cheeser.

10:What is your biggest pet peeve?

People who leave the toilet seat/cover up. I’m not talking about the seat you sit on, I mean the lid. I hate seeing inside toilets, its gross. I think I’m the minority of people who close the lid after every use though. Side note: If you’re ever at my house, I’ll always know where you’ve gone potty, because the seat will be up. I know, I’m weird.

11:Do you ever count your steps when you walk?

OCD much? No, I don’t.

12:Have you ever peed in the woods?

On camping trips, sure, but I don’t make a habit of it.

13:What about pooped in the woods?

No. I would rather die.

14:Do you ever dance even if theres no music playing?

My daughter and I have dance parties almost every morning, and it’s almost never to music. Sometimes I sing “Let’s go to the beach…each…Lets go get away…” like I’m Nicki Minaj. Man my kid is lucky to have such a cool Mom!

15:Do you chew your pens and pencils?

No.

16:How many people have you slept with this week?

Well, since I’m married, this could be a dangerous question….Just Kidding! One, of course.

18:What is your Song of the week?

Lorde – Royals

19:Is it okay for guys to wear pink?

American Psycho. The hubs loves it, but I just get really bored.

Wouldn’t this be a good problem to have. Hmmmm…probably somewhere really hard to get to, like on top of a mountain or something.
