Bored

It's raining outside, so I haven't really been able to get out and play with my camera again. After doing a few errands this morning I realized I hadn't posted in a while but I didn't have much to report on. New blog and website are still coming soon, and I'm going to be getting a new computer (switching to Mac, lots of changes for me!) soon, but until then I just got a survey to share some things with you. A photographer that I like posts a "Friday Five" so I grabbed some of the "set of 5" questions from her blog and walaah! Instant survey.

List your 5 favorite words:
1. Awesome
2. Photo
3. Cheese
4. Chocolate
5. Vacation!

1. What's something you know how to draw? A goofy face that Laura and I learned when we were little kids
2. Who can you impersonate? Absolutely no one, I'm bad like that
3. Where's the stapler? It's on the desk in the office upstairs
4. Why will this be a great weekend? The weekend is almost over, but I got to spend almost all day with Natalie yesterday just talking girl talk - YAY!
5. What is your favorite really messy food? Matt's burgers are pretty messy and soooo good. The enchiladas that Glen made before he left were also fabulous, I've wanted more of those ever since.

1. Did you fight over special food when you were children? Probably, but I don't remember.
2. Do your children fight over something now? Don't have any, but Charlie will fight over anything
3. Did you sit in the front seat with your parents? Once I was old enough...
4. Did your parents drive a Ford or a Chevy? Ford, but now they both drive Acuras
5. What age can children sit in the front seat now? I have no idea...

1. What kinds of blogs do you read? Mostly photography blogs, but I have a few personal ones from friends, and then a few on creativity/design
2. What products do you usually buy when you shop online? Usually clothes, but I also buy stamps
3. What kinds of online videos do you watch? Usually music videos/dancing
4. Where do you like to go for streaming online music? Uhhhhhhh don't really do that. iTunes and my cds are pretty much it

1. Have you ever worn hand-me-downs? Where did you get them? Of course! Mrs. Martinez's daughter used to give me all her skorts, I LOVED them!
2. Have you ever given hand-me-downs? Who did you give them to? I give away my gently used stuff to the Salvation army, but I usually wear my clothes until they basically fall apart or have huge stains.
3. How do you feel about hand-me-downs in general? I think it's a great way to share and recycle, most hand-me-downs were hardly ever used and someone can definitely get use out of them
4. Do you ever visit yard/garage sales? I do, but not often. I'm a bargain shopper but I'm picky
5. If given $25,000 to redecorate your home, do you buy new or antique furniture? Why? I'd get new furniture at this point only because I've only ever had hand-me-downs/used items. But I love antiques too!
