The Blonde Diaries

Seems like it’s another week of better late than never.  The whole eye thing threw me off as I was up and ready to post this morning but with it bugging me and my appointment not being till 1pm I thought the easiest way to deal with it would be to go back to bed until time to go to the doctor.  Then it was cleaning, doing laundry, cooking, and then battling the eye drops.  So here I am finally ready to do my Manic Monday Meme post.

How old were you when you learned to tie your shoes?  I don’t remember.  I know it was before I went to Kindergarten as I wanted shoes with laces to wear.

Have you ever snooped in somebody else’s medicine cabinet? No.  I have never known anyone to have a medicine cabinet that they actually use to keep medicine in.  I know in my family we use the kitchen cabinet to keep our medicines in to remember to take when we eat.

Who do you think you are? This is an odd question when you first read it.  I actually had to peak at what others said to figure out what I wanted to say.  I tend to cheat like that

I guess I could say I’m a million different things but when it comes down to it I’m just a 27 year old girl who enjoys spending time with her family and friends.

I missed last week’s meme but I liked the questions so I decided to add it to this week’s edition and answer them too!

May 4, 2009 Questions:

Which household chore do you dislike the most? Cleaning the bathroom.  I detest it so much that I only do it once a month and I think that makes it even worse.

What’s the best museum you’ve ever visited? I enjoyed the Smithsonian museums that I visited in high school.  I also really like the Oil and Gas museum here in Houston.  It is very informative.

It’s Star Wars Day today. I’ve never seen any of the Star Wars movies. What “common” movies haven’t you seen? I’ve never seen The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

April 27, 2009 Questions:

What’s the best summer job you ever had? I actually only had 1 summer job growing up.  It lasted from the time I was 16 until 22.  I worked at the local batting cages and it was pretty fun.

Tell me about the worst date you ever went on. That would have to be senior prom.  It was a blind date because my mom wouldn’t let me miss my prom again (I had no qualms with that) so I was set up with a guy I had never met before.  It didn’t turn out too well.

Do you think the age for a driver’s license should be raised (currently 16 here in the U.S.)? No.  I think it is fine.  I think you have to learn at some point and while under adult supervision is probably best.  I think driver’s education should be a requirement as well as having the learner’s permit for 3-6 months before getting a full license.  I actually got my license at 15 and I think I turned out fairly well for a driver.  There is always continuous learning and improvements to be made by everyone.

Happy Monday!  It is the 2nd to last Monday of March.  Where is this year going and why is it going so darn fast??  I’m off to a fairly good Monday.  I have a fairly long to-do list but I’m slowly knocking it out.  I’ll add another check to the list with my Manic Monday meme post.  As always, everyone is welcome to participate.  If you participate leave me a comment and I will return the favor by commenting on your blog.  Also make sure to log in at the Manic Monday Blog (you can use the picture above to get there).

Do you screen your phone calls? Totally!  Sometimes I am just not in the mood to talk to anyone so it is best that I screen or you might get responses you weren’t counting on from me.

When was the last time you lost your temper? This weekend.  Wedding planning is driving me crazy and I just want it over with.

When you’re lost, do you ask for directions? If I am truly lost then yes.  If I’m semi-lost but generally know where I need to go and how to get back to where I should be I won’t.  This is mainly so I learn new routes in town.

Happy Monday everyone! I can’t believe it is lunchtime already. Where has the day gone? I have a pretty busy day at work ahead of me and hopefully a busy night too with going to the gym and getting paper work together to resolve this traffic violation tomorrow. I am hoping to get a little laundry done so I can wear my khaki pants to work tomorrow (they have been in the dirty clothes pile for 2 weeks!) so we’ll see how it all shapes up. Here are the Manic Monday questions. As always, everyone is welcome to participate. If you participate leave me a comment and I will return the favor by commenting on your blog. Also make sure to log in at the Manic Monday Blog (you can use the picture above to get there).

Are you a saver or spender? Lately I feel like all I have been doing is spending.  I have my 401(k) contributions going automatically each pay period but not much going into my actual savings account.  I hope to change that this month.

Do you prefer to walk around barefoot in your home? Socks? Shoes? Barefoot.  Shoes track around dirt and socks make my feet feel constrained

Do you talk to yourself? Sometimes I do.  Depends on what I’m doing like cleaning or working from home I might.

Happy Monday night everyone!  Work got a little busy this afternoon and before I knew it, it was time to go home.  This is shaping up to be a busy but exciting week.  The exciting part is due to this being Mike’s last week working in Beaumont five days a week.    So let’s get on with some more fun this Monday.  Same rules as last week. There are three questions which need three answers.  If you want to play along leave a comment with your answers or with your blog link so I can come comment on your blog as well.  Also, head over to the official Manic Monday blog via the button in this post and leave your answers in a comment over there for more people to read and visit.

What would you do with an extra hour each day? I would spend another half hour at the gym and then take a 30 minute bubble bath after that.

Do you wear a watch? If so, tell us about it. If not, how do you keep track of time? Nope.  I do not wear a watch.  Since I sit at a desk all day I use my laptop clock.  When I am running errands I just check my radio in the car or my cell phone.

If it was possible, would you want to know how many days you had left to live? The thought of death really freaks me out so the less I know the better off I am. So no I would not want to know how many days I had left to live if given that option.
