My Real Life

Before we start, wanna hear something funny?

With the exception of Five Question Friday, I usually type the blog posts ahead of time and schedule them to post at 6 am every morning.

When I do Random Thoughts posts, I start the post and then leave the tab up on my laptop and revisit over a few days as things come to mind.

Apparently, I started yesterdays post and then completely forgot about it, so if anyone came yesterday, lured by the promise of Random Thoughts and got here and only read a Random Thought, my apologies.

It’s a perfect indicator of where my mind has been lately.

Anyway, onto the questions.

1. What album/cd/download are you embarrassed to admit you have?

I’m pretty okay with my choices and basically don’t care if people like them or not.

The Rosie O’Donnell Christmas CD would come closest to being the one that I think others might raise eyebrows at, but I love it, so it’s all good.

2. What’s the one thing your spouse does better than you?

Uh, pretty much everything, but I’ll go with sports.

He’s a natural athlete.

Me?

Not so much.

3. When do you start buying Halloween Candy?

The day before Halloween.

Otherwise, I’ll start eating it as soon as I bring it home.

This year, I’ve decided we’re giving out little bags of pretzels.

Might get our house papered, but so much less tempting.

When do we throw out Halloween candy might be the better question.

Because the kids still have Halloween and Easter candy in their bags in the pantry and I just dumped an entire bowl of Whoppers from last Halloween that has been in a cupboard because I bought a big mixed bag of candy and no one wanted the Whoppers and I meant to take them into school but forgot and I never open that cupboard and then I did last week and there they were.

Ew.

4. Family closets – Yay or nay?

Like, my clothes, his clothes, their clothes all together in the same closet?

Uh, hell to the no.

5. Which home/cleaning chore do you hate the most? Why?

I believe this has been well-chronicled over the course of this blog.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Yes, friends…it’s laundry.

I’ll clean every toilet in the house twice a day and three times on Sunday rather than do the laundry from start to finish.
