Five Question Friday - 6/18/10


1. What is your favorite thing about summertime?
My favorite summertime thing is... that the pools are open, BBQ, 4th of July, Western Days (a really fun craft fair here in Elgin, TX), and time spent with family!

2. What is your ideal retirement location (if money didn't matter)?
Right here in central Texas.  Would love to have 50 acres on lake front or with it's own little lake.  Texans are crazy about their waterfront.  Of course, retirement would include international travel to fun locals!

3. Do you live in the same town you grew up in?
Nope.  Was a navy brat, but grew up mostly outside of Seattle, WA.  Definitly not anywhere close to Texas, LOL!


4. What nervous habit did you have as a child that you kicked to the curb before becoming an adult?
Lack of mouth control.  Seriously, I am a serious blutter.  It is a little better as an adult, but I still work at it everyday.  The worst part is when I get nervous and say stuff that I don't mean and that is hurtful to others.

5. What is the most embarrassing thing that happened to you while on the job?
Crying on the job.  My second job here in Texas was not fun.  The manager was horrible (not an exageration) and I never felt like I could do anything right.  Not a fun situation for a perfectionist.
 
Those are my answers to this Friday's questions.  Wonder if this should become an every Friday "thang"? 

Everyone have a fabulous weekend, and stay safe!

    Following you back!
    Where outside Seattle did you grow up? We're in Bellevue now...not my favorite, but I grew up out in the Hobart/Maple Valley area. Much more my style with the space! And I'm a blurter too...I'm horrible, I talk nonstop when I'm nervous, uncomfortable, upset...so pretty much all the time :)

    Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Add a ‘click-able’ signature to comments you make.

While blog hopping recently, I came across this fantastic tip listed on Be Our Best .  Jill has compiled her Top 10 Blogging Tips in one place to help others out there in blogland.  Most of them I had heard of before.  But she had one on her list that I have only seen a couple times in practice, and have not heard a how-to do it before. Number 6: Add a clickable signature to your comments. If you add the following text to the bottom of the comments you leave for other bloggers, whatever text you insert for “Your Text Here” will be clickable.  You have to switch out “{“ and “}” with “<” and “>” then it will work.  Remember to also change the “Your Blog Address” part, LOL! {a href=http://www.YourBlogAddress.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a} Bonus Tip ~ I use Notepad to store all the html codes I use on a regular basis {the direct link code for my signature image, color codes, etc.}.  I added the above code to my Notepad page, edited it with my informat...

Pretty in Pink and Some Sparkles too!

A hat for my oldest in ballet pink (red heart yarn she picked) with some silver beads.  No pattern, and ended up running elastic thread through a couple rows to make it more secure on her head for now, until she grows into it some more. Matches a shoulder shrug knitted for her during her year of ballet lessons.
