The Blonde Diaries

Happy Friday!  Today is a half day at work (yay!) followed by a trip to the gym and then packing to go home and visit my mom and brother for the weekend.  It is going to be a long day though as Mike is up in Dallas for training and has to drive to Houston before we can leave.

From Island Life:

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

So this week my question is: What is your favorite fruit?

My favorite fruit is perfectly ripe strawberries.

Boy am I glad it is Friday. This was my first full week back at work since taking practically the whole month of July off. I have to say it has been a tad rough adjusting back to working during the day. That hasn’t been the best attitude since we had to get through our Q2 review today. Talk about a little stress there.

So this week Aloha Friday is asking if we are a good secret keeper. I believe that I am a fairly good secret keeper. I mean if it isn’t that big of a deal I might tell another close friend but that would be it. If it was a big deal I would keep my trap closed as long as needed.

So my question this week: Have you ever regretted telling a secret?

Manic Monday is a meme that is done every Monday of course and usually asks a few questions that you are to answer in your own post. This meme is hosted on an appropriately named blog Manic Monday Meme.  It has been a few weeks since I have played but I am looking forward to starting up again and seeing what questions we have coming.

This week’s questions:

Would you rather go a week without bathing, but be able to change your clothes, or a week without a change of clothes, but be able to bathe? I would rather a week without changing clothes but able to bathe.  I couldn’t imagine how smelly I would be and how nasty my hair would be if I changed clothes but didn’t bathe.  I don’t think the new clothes would mask anything.  Both are gross but I’ll bathe and just try to keep the clothes clean.

If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose? How I Met Your Mother.  It is the closest thing to real life right now – friends getting together and sharing dating stories.  The characters all seem like people I’d want to be friends with and their problems aren’t too terrible to deal with on a regular basis.  I think I could live a month with them.

Hello and welcome to a new week. I had a fairly good weekend minus the wreck on Whiskey Bay that pushed my travel time up from 4 hours to almost 6 hours last night. I was able to catch up on my email and a few websites that I didn’t read over the weekend while sitting on the bridge. Made it home around 10 and decided to start reading a new book to kick this week off right. I am ready to start this week off with my Manic Monday Meme post. So here we go!

Do you usually wear perfume/cologne? If so, what’s your current favorite? I don’t on a daily basis but when I do I wear Escada Island Kiss.  It was a summer fragrance from 2006 or something.  I just keep finding it online and at Marshalls and am stockpiling it since it has been discontinued.

What’s the last book you’ve read that you thought was really good? If you don’t have one, what looks promising on your to-be-read list?  Well, I just finished What a Girl Wants yesterday and it was a fairly good chick lit book.  Not a favorite but overall pretty good.  I’m moving on to the next book in the series She’s Out of Control so far I am about 1/3 of the way through the book and am enjoying it too.

Fill in the blank: I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing skinny jeans.  My mom just got back from the UK and apparently that is all they wear over there.

Hello and welcome to a new week. So far things haven’t been looking too good with an unauthorized credit charge and work being so-so. I’m hoping things start turning around for the week. My weekend was nice though and relaxing so I am ready to start this week off with my Manic Monday Meme post. So here we go!

What is the last song that was stuck in your head and how did you get rid of it? Love Game by Lady GaGa.  I just sang it until I got bored with it.  Luckily that wasn’t too long.

If you had to say what one thing in your life best represents your freedom, what would it be? Tough question.  I tried to peak but seemed like this one created a block for alot of people.  I liked the passport answer but don’t want to steal it.  I thought maybe my car because it gives me the freedom to go wherever I want or need to go.  I also thought Mike because I was able to choose him to spend forever with.

If you were invited to the White House for dinner tonight, what would you wear from your current wardrobe? A black dress and comfortable shoes.
