How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Lazy Sunday Meme

in Uncategorized on 10/10/10

It’s Thanksgiving Sunday up here in Canada..not to be confused with Thanksgiving Monday. In my house this means two days straight of visiting family and eating, eating, eating. I really need some elastic pants.

Thought I would take today to participate in a lovely little meme.  This one comes courtesy of Debby from Just Breath.

What was the last thing you ate?

A burnt cookie.  My daughter made them all by herself, and they were mostly fabulous.

What is one of your best childhood memories?

Weekends at the cottage “up north” with my family. Waterskiing and driving our boat with just my Sis to the marina to grab supplies…oh and check out the boys.  What were my parents thinking?   My girls are not going to get away with anything.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you were older?

I think I must have been an old soul.  I had my heart set on working with children with special needs early on, oh and of course being a Mama.

Do you paint your toenails in the winter?

Um yes, I have to do something to pretty up these ugly feet.

Do you watch any reality television? If so, what show is your favorite?

I can not get enough of The Amazing Race.  I’m pretty sure I would rock that race.  I can drive a standard car and have no problem talking to strangers (it’s a skill ya know) or asking for directions….following them, well that is what my Hubby would be for. 

What were some of the “trends” when you were a kid?

I was a child of the 80’s. It wasn’t pretty.  Nuff said.

What is your favorite time of the year? Why?

Summer! I am always cold and adore the sun. In the winter we do our best to escape the snow and find a beach. 

Do you have any hobbies?

Besides blogging? Well the kids do call me Paparazzi Mama so I clearly have a bit of an addiction to my camera too:) 

I think the rules of this meme are kind of loose and free so I’m adding my own question to the end!

What are four words that describe the way you feel about your life? Today.  I want to know!

 

Want to play along? Just cut and paste baby! I’d love to read your answers so let me know if you decide to participate.

 

I hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving full of turkey, stuffing and blog worthy family moments.

Mwah!

      I am the mamarazzi around here. LOL too funny. I paint my toes year round too.

      I do like having pretty toes. But I admit to letting them go in the winter. Just like shaving.

      I love my elastic waist pants! I live with a full belly everyday because I am extra fluffy. Even though Thanksgiving is a lot of work you make me anxious for ours to come, I just love the food.
      Thank for playing along with the questions. My four words:
      Thankful for Gods blessing!

      Happy Thanksgiving to you too! I’m too tired to do any celebrating this year, so I think we are heading up to one of the local golf courses for their Thanksgiving buffet for dinner tonight! My parents will be here in a few weeks to help out before, during and after baby comes, so we will probably do a big family dinner for American Thanksgiving this year!

      I prefer the warm summer time too. The last thing I ate was late last night. A bowl of ice cream smothered in chocolate syrup. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s. Hippie dippie time.

      Hey, save some leftovers for me.

      As an 80s girl myself, I get it! Let us know when you make it onto the Amazing RAce!

      Painted toenails are a must year round! I agree with you 100%…and The Amazing Race??? Want to apply with me? I don’t know if they have had “bloggers” before. I am obsessed with that show-and I am glad to hear that you can drive a stick shift-because I Can’t 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving-hope that you find stretchy pants!

      Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
      Quite an enjoyable list of questions.
