Grilling Goodness – Take 14

 

GoldenGoodness

 

1. When you were in school, did you study hard or cram the night before? – In High School I never studied too much. At pharmacy school I learned better ways, but it always seemed like cramming. While doing my Education studies there were not many tests honestly.

2. What can pull you out of a really funky mood? – A hug/kiss from my boys.

3. Do you keep the invoice after you’ve paid the bill?– Yes, you never know IF you may need it. Now I just need a better system of filing things.

4. Do you have yard sales? Shop at them? – Debating having one soon, but not sure if it is worth the effort. Have not shopped at one in a long time.

5. When was the last time you rode a roller coaster? – I believe I went on one last summer with my son at Six Flags. Hoping to go on the Rockin’ Roller Coaster at Disney Hollywood Studios soon :)

6. Spring cleaning…do you do such things as wash your windows? – No, have not done this in way too long. Something we should do, but other things always crop up that are more important.

7. How often do you clean out your refrigerator? – Weekly we go through the refrigerator and empty things out when it is garbage night. We also do a massive cleaning before Passover.

8. Have you ever been a victim of identity theft? – Yes, hubby’s identity was stolen a little over a year ago. It was a huge mess, but I think I caught things quickly since the thief was stupid and we were sent the credit card. Still it means a complete lock down for our protection and it complicates getting credit checks and everything. Really wish the government helped victims a little more than punishing us more.

Grilling Goodness – Take 13

1. Do you prefer reality tv or dramas or comedies? – Used to really love comedies, but there have not been many good ones in recent years. Like to watch Dancing with the Stars, The Biggest Loser, and a few other reality shows. Still, my favorites are dramas like Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice and Desperate Housewives.

2. If you could have free cosmetic surgery, what would you have done? – Probably breast reduction surgery. Of course since I saw the surgery on television once I now am sure I will be a chicken and never consider it.

3. What are you itching to get but you have not ‘bitten the bullet’? – My little digital camera died not even a year after I bought it and I still have not replaced it. There are just other things that we need. For now I will share hubby’s camera.

4. Do you have a bad habit that you hope your children don’t pick up? – I hope my kids are not as wishy-washy as me. When pressed hard I can easily make a decisions, but on the little things I have a hard time.

5. What was your favorite meal growing up? – Loved my mothers chicken soup with matzah balls. She put dill in it and it made it extra yummy.

6. What meal did you have as a youngster that you don’t have as an adult? – I remember going to have steamed clams with my mother and friends after swim lessons. Not something I do now.

7. What is your earliest memory of a "vacation"? Where’d you go?
– I still remember going to Disney World with my family when I was really little. The first trip I have major memories of was when I was in kindergarten or so and we went with family friends.

8. What was the "Best Thing" you ever got for Christmas, before age 12?
– Most years my birthday came at about the same time as Chanukah, so a lot of the gifts blended together. My cabbage patch kids or Barbie Town House would probably rank way up there.

Grilling Goodness – Take 12

GoldenGoodness

1. What’s one of the best things you’ve seen lately? – Today JSL was so happy that he was walking around the house singing "happy, happy, happy"  He loves having all of us home with him. Rude awakening in a week when big brother goes back to school.

2. Has Spring brought you something you don’t like? – Not a fan of insects. The dirt bees are outside and not looking forward to more flying, creeping bugs.

3. What kind of sandwiches do you like? – Very into hummus sandwiches on Arnold’s sandwich things with some Fiber One cereal on top. Don’t judge, it is filling, delicious and healthy for me.

4. Do you carry GermX with you at all times? – No, I honestly think that there are too many antibacterial products on the market. Part of our problem these days is we kill off the normal flora that need to be on us to make us healthy.

5. Does each person in your house have their own hamper or do you have a central hamper for everyone? – We have two hampers – one for the kids and one for us.

6. How often do you balance your checkbook? – Used to be really good with this. I watch the statements carefully, but thanks to having kids I have not been good in about six years now of the paper balancing.

7. What’s the hardest thing you’ve done lately? –  Transforming our kitchen for Passover and making two Seders. It was a challenge with everything else going on. My mind needs to shift soon to making lists of things to do for Disney World.

8. Are you a texter? – No, we do not have a plan with unlimited texting. Hubby and I use Twitter during the day when at home/work. I have done a text or two from time to time. I told people I was in labor via text almost two years ago.

Grilling Goodness – Take 11

 

GoldenGoodness

1. Do you prefer to write with pen or pencil? – Typically pen. When I was teaching I used a lot of different ink colors for correcting. I was also a stickler for using pencils when doing math and lesson planning.

2. What was off limits to you growing up that you do all the time now? – The only thing I can think of is talking on the phone late or going on the computer when I wanted to. Our computer was on the other side of my brother’s room (had to walk through it) and it caused some issues.

3. What is the age difference between you and your spouse? – Hubby is about 8 months older than me.

4. Did you hurt yourself in anyway this week? – Yes, my finger has a giant gash in it from when I put it in my son’s mouth during his first febrile seizure of the weekend.

5. Do you like wallpaper enough to hang it in your home? – No, we took it all down in the house except for the bathroom upstairs. That will happen one day down the road.

6. What do you need to do that you’ve been putting off? – Need to take kindergarten kid back to the doctor for his second Hep A shot. We went a few weeks ago and they were out of it and never called (we had an appointment). Little does my son know, it will happen today after his dentist appointment.

7. What did you do this week that you wish you hadn’t? – I wish I never had to watch my son have a febrile seizure two times. The first was the worst when we did not realize what was going on and thought he was choking as he turned blue. Also wish I did not have to go by ambulance to the ER. Had I thought about it I would have picked another hospital because of how pathetic the care was once again at the so called "better" pediatric location.

8. Did anything keep you up late this week? – Prior to last night, I probably could have counted all of the hours I slept this week on my two hands and maybe one foot. Nothing like waking every two hours to fight a fever to try to avoid a third febrile seizure for the week in your little one.

Grilling Goodness – Take 10

GoldenGoodness

1. Are you competitive? – Not really. That is probably the reason I do not really like WiiFit. So looking forward to the new game that is coming out to use with it. Looks more like a real workout with a trainer.

2. What do you most often eat for breakfast?
– Oatmeal these days. Very filling and keeps me going. Sometimes I put raisins in, but not always worth the points.

3. Do you have a ‘raggidy’ piece of furniture?
– We have some older hand-me-down pieces, but nothing that is too bad.

4. What do you wash your face with?
– Before having kids I used to use a whole series of things. Now I just wash my face in the shower. No time to bother with anything exciting.

5. What colors does Spring make you want to wear?
– More bright and colorful things like green and turquoise.

6. Do you like working your flower beds?
– NO! I hate getting into the dirt and deal with bugs and other critters.

7. What is something you want that you’ve never had?
– A new house. It would be so nice not to have to worry about all of the problems that crop up with an older house. Not only are there things that get old and stop working, but you have to deal with fixing mistakes that previous owners have done. *sigh* 

8. How many miles do you have on your car?
– We have had my car for just under six years and it has a little over 44K. Hubby’s new car has about 500 miles!
