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!

      Hi! Today I am leaping from new blog to new blog checking out interesting names. Have you ever done that? Anyway, great blog design.

      I just read your meme and had to comment because of your answer to what you wanted to be when you got older. I’m doing what you thought you would do. 🙂

      I used to love the amazing race and I have not seen it in forever! I am going to have to find it again… Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

      Have a great Thanksgiving tomorrow! I’m a former Torontonian living in California and only celebrate the American Thanksgiving now. Enjoyed poking around your blog and HEAR you big time on the Drama Mama. We had one of those as well at our school last year and the National PTA had to be called in. I didn’t realize this was so common! Looking forward to reading more!

      Paparazzi Mama, I love it! Great answers to a fun meme. Happy Thanksgiving weekend to you and yours! I’m kind of jealous, I could have used a big ole turkey and sweet potatoe dinner this weekend!

      Happy Thanksgiving! Don’t you just love the 2-day turkey fest? Oh yeah, I totally agree w/ you about the 80’s – not a good decade.

      This is so cute!
      Toenails must ALWAYS be painted, that is a law right?
      well, since we wear open toed shoes all year long, it is a must.

      Whatever! 80’s kids are the best! Big bangs, POISON, what’s wrong with that!?

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
