Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Lazy Sunday Meme


Vicki over at Frugal mom Knows Best has provided me with a way to spend a lazy Sunday Morning. Don't judge, I know there are a million other things I should be doing, but this Meme was way more fun!

The rules were simple enough, erase her answers and fill in my own. Here is goes!

1. Who is the hottest Movie Star? I'm not naming a dude, their heads are all big enough. How about Rachel McAdams. She is from Ontario Canada and too cute. I loved that movie the Notebook. It was an entire box of kleenex movie for me. Oh OK her co-star Ryan something was pretty hot in that movie!

2. Apart from your house and car, what is the most expensive item you have ever bought? Gee, I am so boring. I guess if I'm going to tell the truth, I have to say my Washer/Dryer set. Snore.

3. What is you most treasured memory? I'm changing this to memories, because this is how I roll! When I was growing up the Summers I spent in Muskoka. My Honeymoon almost 13 years ago at the Sandals Bahamas, birth of 2 babies, and my 10 year Wedding Anniversary in Mexico. Bliss.

4. What was the best gift you ever received as a child? The swing set and sandbox in our backyard. Now that I'm a Mom I get that it was probably the best gift my Mom ever got too!

5. What is the biggest mistake you have ever made? Right now I would say the biggest mistake I have ever made was stopping to push a strangers car out of the snow. I fell in the process and broke a couple of ribs, etc. etc. A year and half later I'm still not back to normal. Sigh.

6. 4 words to describe yourself? Reliable, Friendly, Hopeful, Loving.

7. What was your highlight or low light of 2008? Fabulous 2 Week vacation with my Family in Sunny Florida. Relaxing and playing. Reconnecting and enjoying.

8. Favorite Film? Forest Gump. Seriously love that film.

9. Tell me one thing I don’t know about you. I could eat chocolate every single day. I think I have a problem:)

10. If you were a comic book/strip or cartoon character, who would you be? I could not come up with an answer for this one, but my kids say I 'm like Wanda from Fairly Odd Parents. Why? Well, because she is always right and tells Timmy Turner when he is wishing for dangerous things!

The four bloggers I am tagging with this Meme are:

Mommy Kingdom

A Little Blog About Nothing

It's Just Me...Again

Raising My 4 Sons

Hope you all like playing along!

I have chocolate almost everyday now that I use them for a reward for potty training. I always have M & Ms around.

Susan said...

I am not worthy. I am not worthy. You're SUCH a better person than I am. I'll continue reading your blog for inspiration...

Tagged by 2 blogpals, I just completed this meme too - split over 2 posts (called "Interviewed by Oprah!") cos there was so much to say & I'm a bit of a motormouth!

Have a great week!

Fun to get to know a bit about you.

I fell ice skating over 15 years ago and my ribs on my left side never healed properly. :(

MMMMMM chocolate. Have you tried the new hersheys with the melty center? Not as good as Dove's, but they are pretty stinking good.

Sara @ Domestically Challenged said...

I like this one! Fun, easy, and it lets us get to know more about you. All those broken ribs? Ouch?!?!

Kerree said...

I broke my wrist when I crashed my motorbike and it never healed properly. At least you were doing something nice for someone, I was just being an idiot!

Momma Such said...

Thanks for thinking of me! My blog is getting made of at the moment, and hopefully if I can remember I will put this up next Sunda. :)

I have several thoughts in reply to this post:

1. Rachel McAdams is great! I had no idea she`s from Ottawa. Cooltastic!
My star crush is on a TV actor - TJ Thyne.

2. It sounds like you do quite a bit of fabulous travelling: Muskoka (I LOVE), Bahamas, Mexico, Florida. Very nice!

3. Sand boxes are the BEST.

4. You are so nice to stop and help a stranger push their car out of the ditch and it seems wrong that you hurt yourself doing such a good deed. I hope you feel better soon.

5. I saw Forrest Gump 3 times in the theatre when it came out and I haven`t seen it since. I think I`ll have to rewatch it.

6. I love chocolate.

7. Great post!

Mrs EyeCanSee said...

Just found your blog! Love this list...especially the Fairly Odd Parents reference. Who knew cartoons would make it into the blog world! Oh...and I could eat chocolate twice a day. Fellow addict here!

Randi Troxell said...

Lady Di said...

Hey there is nothing wrong with eating chocolate everyday. Does this mean I am an enabler???

Mrs. Fish aka Two Fish said...

I love how you describe yourself. SO modest and so proud about it too, so awesome. I am also with you on the washer and dryer...though my entire kitchen is probably THE most next to my house and car. What a great meme.

Swoozie said...

Thanks for including me on this meme! I'm honored!

Loved your replies! Laughing about the washer & dryer set---sheesh! those things are spendy BUT totally awesome when you get a new set. I share your excitement...hee! hee!
