Also Known as “Mom”

What piece of information do you keep forgetting?   I keep forgetting to put things in my pocket calendar and then I forget what is going on.  I have not missed anyhting big but man has it come close at times.

What regular event in your life do you keep forgetting?  I often have a hard time remembering the actual date of my parents Anniversary.  I never actually miss it but I have to look it up all of the time.

How are you with remembering the names of people you meet?  I can do this pretty well.  I often will put a visual pic of what a person was wearing and where they were sitting to thier name and face.

What kinds of tricks to you have for remembering to do stuff that falls outside your regular routine?  I got this really neat clipboard idea from a mentor mom at my MOPs group.  I plan on starting this and it has 4 boxes on the front of it. To Call, To Do, To Send, Notes. 

If you keep a daily planner, what is it like? If you don’t, why not? I live with my purse size calendar now.  It’s the only way I’ll remember all of the stuff we have to do these days.

It’s hard to stay awake even when you are playing….

I recently joined a site called payperpost A few friends of mine had told me about it. (Jodi and Kellie, thank you ladies!!!)   This is my first post with Pay Per Post and I am so excited to be able get going.  I really like that I can pick opportunities in which to write about at my time pace. I am a busy mom of 3 and heading into summer I need to budget my time. Pay Per Post really seems to be offering me that option. I look forward to the different range of subjects I will get to write about and review. Me being an opinionated person an all this is the best way for me to get my opinion out there and be read by many LOL.

The money that I make from blogging I hope use to do fun things this summer with my kids.  It’s not easy to feel like you aren’t contributing to your household income.  Even though I am unsure how this will affect our income really but I know that every penny counts. Granted there are some really great charities that you can give your money to instead of banking it for yourself. I can see my self using this at times as well. I like to give when we have the monies but that is not always possible, however Pay Per Post gives you a perfect and fast way to do so.

So does this sound as exciting to you as it does to me? Then you should head on over to Pay Per Post and check it out. Don’t forget to tell them that I sent you.

Aren’t they the cutest kids evah???

What makes you feel old? Seeing kids I use to babysit for getting married and having kids.

What makes you feel young? My children… they allow me to be a kid again!!!

What was better when you were allowed to do it the old way? I like to get my hands on a map and look at things rather than just believe a GPS unit. I’m a very visual person. Don’t get me wrong GPS rocks!!!

What’s better now that you do it the new way? I love DVR’s LOL They are so perfect for our busy life style.

What’s something you are old school about? Didn’t I just answer this???

A bit of an Oldie from 6 years ago.

Me pregnant for Maddie with my Sister before her prom.

When was the last time you had a needle stuck into you? Probably just after I had Logan back in August 2007.

Who among your friends is the easiest target for needling? I have a feeling this has to be me or my sister…even worse I had too look up what needling is LOL.

What’s something you can confidently do with a needle and thread? Sew burp cloths and some other small sewing crafts.

About how many phonograph records do you have in your home, and when’s the last time you dropped a needle on one? We have none that I know of.

Someone told us the other day about someone at a party using a flavor injector to spike a watermelon with vodka. Is this brilliant or is this stupid? I think I’d be game to try this!!! I am not a huge drinker by any means but I like to try new things.

Isn’t he cute?

After a long crazy week all I can think about is a little R&R for me and the hubby. And since I am dreaming I might as well dream big right??? So in my dream I am thinking about a place far away where there is no way I could bring my kids. So how about Paris. So I found this site that is a Paris bed and breakfast site.

On this site you can find Paris Hotels and locations of Bread and Breakfasts. They have a really great map of the big attractions so you can get an idea of where things are in relation to a possible Hotel Paris. The hotels and B&B’s are family run so your experience will be so much more homey and memorable.

I know this has changed my view on how I’ll book my accommodations some day in the long future when I get to finally take my dream trip. I guess for now I’ll have to settle for the little nap I took on the couch today.

How do you feel about spicy food? Sometimes I like a little bit of spicy stuff but most of the time I’d rather have it more medium to mild.

What kinds of condiments do you add to food in order to spice things up a bit? I’m a roasted red pepper and Garlic kind of girl. The simple but flavorful spices are more my style.

Not counting salt and pepper, what’s your favorite flavor enhancer when cooking? Oh I think that I just answered that LOL

What’s the spiciest food you’ve ever eaten? That would have to be one of those peppers in the Stake and shake pepper juice bottles. What the heck was I thinking it was cool to join the hot pepper club for my MSU Campus Crusade group.

In what way might some other aspect of your daily life be spiced up, and what’s keeping that from happening right now? Hummm good one… let’s just say the kids are probably thre reason other aspects of my life may not be spiced up enough. LOL
