Five Question Friday

I'm linking in with Five Crooked Halos. Come and play along!

1. Do you know what your REAL hair color is? Yes, a dark blonde that I keep highlighted. Oh to have that soft, light blonde color I had as a child.

2. Do you plan ahead for summer, or fly by the seat of your pants? Pretty much fly by the seat of our pants, it's more interesting this way. Our vacations are not filled with itineraries. We pick a place, then get up when we want, go when we want, eat where we want, and just let our day create itself. Drives some our friends crazy, though.

3. What is your favorite meal to cook? I do not cook as often now that we are empty nesters, but my favorite meal to cook when our daughters were home was roast beef with veggies, rolls, and lots of sweet tea. Normally an apple pie with ice cream for dessert. Yummy! Wish I had a plate right now!

4. Do you get offended by not receiving thank yous? I do not waste my time wondering and worrying and fussing when I don't get thank you's. When you give a gift, it's to be obligation free. I know of one person that kept a notebook with gifts that had been given to her children and the app. price so that she would spend that much/that little on them. Horrors. I give freely and without another thought.

5. How did you meet your best friend? Which one?! I have best friends in every facet of my life and love them to death. I don't have any best friends from high school that I see anymore, but do from my college days and of course, throughout my teaching career and the congregations we worshipped with over the years. I am also blessed to have three daughters that I feel are three of my best ones. God has been good in placing special women in my life exactly where and when they are needed.

Play Along!

Rules for Five Question Friday:  Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then go to My Little Life and link up!  OR you can simply answer the questions in comment form to me! I'd love to see what your answers are!

1. Have you ever forgotten your child in a store or at school? No, but once our youngest daughter was left at church. He thought I had her and I thought he had her. Turns out her Sunday School teacher took her under her wing when the parking lot emptied. I was majorly embarrassed.

2. Where did you go on your very first date? to the Montgomery Mall, walked around, ate at Krystal and did a lot of handholding and smiling

3. What's your "silly" fear? (We're not talking water and heights.) Not so much now that we live on the second and third floors, but I was silently terrified that a snake would find its way into our ground level homes. Come in a door left open or follow a mice through a breathing hole in the brick exterior, get into the walls, and then into my home. Eeeewwww

4. Confrontation: do you cause it, deal with is as it comes, or run far far away? I do all I can to avoid confrontations, as normally the other party isn't acting rational or open minded.

5. Wood floors or carpet? Wooden floors throughout the house with layers of rugs that are soft and dreamy to the touch.
