Meet Me on Monday


Questions:

1.  Monday's are _________?

     the toughest to get out of bed.  I rather just sleep in.  OK - that would be every day....

2.  What is your favorite kind of milkshake?
     Strawberry.  Anything strawberry is my favorite.  I've been told that my mom used to eat strawberries and chew ice when she was
     pregnant with me.  Hence why I like both of those things.

3.  What monthly bill do you most dislike paying? 
     It's going to be the car payment shortly.  Hubby is looking for a new car.  Probably besides that, it's the cable/phone/internet
     bill.  Doesn't seem worth it.

4.  How many email addresses do you use on a regular basis?
     I have 4 e-mails - personal, online sales, junk/coupons and work.

5.  What color lights are on your Christmas Tree?
     Multi color.  Of course, the tree isn't up yet.....

Sunday Souvenir - First Words & Childhold Scrapbook




Stephanie's entry is about first words and childhood scrapbook.  Unfortunately, I have no idea what my first words were and I don't have a childhood scrapbook.  Which now that I think about it is amazing since my mom was an artist at heart.

Right now, most of my stuff is in boxes but since I know have my scrapbook room, I look forward to organizing EVERYTHING.  Seriously - everything.  The things I do have - a school memories book which has a bunch of report cards and stuff that I did in school.

One of my projects I have planned is to create a school memories book for myself & for Dan.  Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of Dan's stuff was saved. :(

One of the things I was amazed to find (I think I still have them) was when I was cleaning out my aunt's house.  I found ALL of the congratulations cards from when I was born.  Seriously.  Just all bound together.  This was like in 2000.  That was the first time I had ever seen the cards.

I'm sure once I start going through boxes, I'll find a lot of memories.  Those two are just ones that really come to mind.
