3. Do you have access to a pool for the summer?
4. Do you have plans for Fater's Day?

6. If you could do something instantly, what would it be?
7. What would you do to entertain visitors from out of town?
8. If your best friend owes you money, do you bug them until you get it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are my answers:

1. I like my skin just the way it is. It's not too dark, not too light & it doesn't have "patches" on it.

2. No my hubby doesn't mind going. I just need to let him know what to get or if he's in the mood to cook, he will just go on his own pick up the ingredients he needs and be on his way.

3. YES! We have access to a pool. Living in AZ, that is a must!

4. We don't have plans for Father's Day. My did lives about 6 hours north of me and my kids are in NM with my mother-in-law visiting for the summer.

5. Nothing comes to mind...

6. I'm with you Tina! I would instantly lose weight! If only it was that easy!

7. Normally we have a cook out at the park, go swimming or just rent movies. We don't get that much visitors and our visitors are mainly family so they pretty much go shopping at the malls and we're stuck with the kids. Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with the kids and it give our own kids time to spend with their cousins.

8. No, I usually get it when it's promised to me.

Friday Photo Flashback #9

One of my blogging friends, Alicia started a new meme called "Friday Photo Flashback" She decided to start this meme because she has so many pictures from her pre-digital camera days. So she thought it would be fun to scan them and share them here with you! She is having fun, too! I must agree with Alicia, it's nice to stroll down memory lane!

It's time for Grilling Goodness with Tina! It's one of my favorite meme's. If you would like to join in the fun, click here.



1. What's the heaviest thing in your purse?

2. Do you mostly use cash or debit/credit cards?

3. Do you cut your hair shorter in the summer or pull it up a lot?

4. Do you like your man scruffy or clean shaven?

5. What have your children done/said to embarass you lately?

6. Do you use plug-in type air fresheners around the house?

7. Do you have any interest in the NBA or NHL finals? (Do you even know who's competing?)

8. What is weighing heavily on your mind lately?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
My Answers:
1. I'd have to say my camera is the heaviest thing. I have 2 ziploc bags full of misc. things I really don't need to carry around with me all the time.

2. I mostly use cash. I tend to get myself in trouble when I use my debit card because I always forget to log my transactions.

3. Last year I cut it really short. The shortest I've ever cut it. So this year I am letting it grow out. It's still short but it's growing back slowly.

4. I like him clean.

5. I can't recall anything that my children have said to embarass me lately...that's a good thing :)

6. I used to use candles a lot! I have since moved on to plug ins.

7. I love the NBA! I can't say I'm a fan of NHL...I can't get into it! OMG, did anyone watch the NBA game last night? We almost had the game Orlando! Almost!!!

8. I have a lot weighing heavily on my mind lately! Where do I begin? Well, theres a situation here at work that's been causing a lot of frustration! I've been grouchy & just taking it out on my family. It's not good and I feel bad when that happens. There's this person who left the company but afer a week went by we found out that this person is STILL employeed by the company and living in a different state! I was told that this person would remain in his/her position & resume his/her duties. So when I heard that, I figured this person would take back his/her duties since he/she would be collecting a full paycheck! Well, that was not the case and this person is not doing a single thing. There's so much more going on but that's the tip of the iceberg.

I've noticed that lately, I've become a pack rat! Oh no!!!



3. What is your favorite thing to do in the summer that keeps you out of the heat?

Play scrabble with my hubby or just relax & watch my recorded shows. My kids are usually visiting family so summer time is usually me & my hubby spending time together :)



4. What is your favorite number? Why?

My favorite number is 9. It was my volleyball number in high school. Back then my favorite basketball player was Danny Ainge of the Phoenix Suns. His jersey number was 9.



5. What color do you choose most when painting your nails?

I normally don't paint my nails but when I do paint them, it's usually whatever my daugher has.

Nothing abnormal here......well I take it back.... I've been frustrated with work for the past 2 weeks.



7. What's the best thing happening this weekend?

My Director finally called me & my co-workers in for a meeting to discuss our frustrations! It's a small step but we're moving in the right direction.



8. Did you have to dissect anything when you were in school?

In high school biology my groups dissected a frog. The guys actually did all the work and I just watched, so does that count?
