TGIF - Um, a lil early?!?

Hello friends, Well - surely some place in the world it's Friday? I'm going to the do the "TGIF -Senseless Stuff" a day early. My Mom (actually, she's my husbands mom, but Ive adopted her) is in town and I'll be away from the computer out doing girly-girl STUFF! I hope everyone's had a great week! Oh, and remembered to take ALL their vitamins, protein supps, and chugged down lots of H20!! Yah yah yah, that gets old, mundane, boring, tedious, etc - over time. Trust me at 37 months, 29 days, 6 hours and half a dozen seconds Post-Op, I UNDERSTAND. Regardless, I don't miss a day - because "I AM" worth it, my life, my health, my happiness, and so are YOU! Okay - enough squawking for one post. Lemme get off this milk crate and let's start PLAYING, shall we? If you want to join in just cut and paste the following to a NEW post and answer to your keyboards content! Happy weekend to ALL -- I'm gonna go back to cleaning this house. It's the ONLY time this place has ever looked this good. You know how that goes right? Wanna' impress the momma. I've already warned Paul not to expect this "Martha Stewart" role of mine, long term. Housework ranks right up there with Cleaning.... it don't! Hugs to all - Lei "TGIF ....Senseless Stuff!" 1) Can you paint, draw, create or make things? If so, what? 2) What is the car of your dreams? 3) Favorite thing for breakfast? 4) Do you snore? 5) What is the one thing you don't leave home without? [minus the standard, keys, wallet, purse, kinda stuff] 6) Favorite toppings on a pizza? (before or after surgery) 7) What kind of toothpaste do you use? 8) Coolest thing that happened this week that left you SMILING!?! 9) What magazine do you read the most? 10) What kind of pets do you have? No, spouses don't count! .

. 1) Can you paint, draw, create or make things? If so, what? Nope! Not a creative bone in my body. My "creative" portion of the brain has always been in a dormant state. 2) What is the car of your dreams? I'm simple - give me anything that comes in the form of a convertible and I'll be thrilled. We've decided to bypass the purchase of a Harley and are looking at 2 seater convertibles! 3) Favorite thing for breakfast? Don't know if it's my FAVORITE, but Im a very lazy creature - so simple is good. I like Turkey Pepperoni, Cottage Cheese, or Yogurt. All no brainer stuff with NO cooking involved. 4) Do you snore? Nope. Or at least NOT anymore. Used to snore like a lumberjack, but worse. Hubby wore ear plugs to sleep. The day AFTER my Weight Loss Surgery, I no longer snored again, EVER! We "think" the NG-Tube they shoved down my throat during surgery nicked that lil flappy'floppy thing in your throat that causes the snoring. Whatever happened, Im THRILLED and so is the hubby. 5) What is the one thing you don't leave home without? [minus the standard, keys, wallet, purse, kinda stuff] My water bottle - it's one of the ways I discipline myself to get in my 100 oz a day. 6) Favorite toppings on a pizza? (before or after surgery) Pepperoni, EXTRA MUSHROOMS and Cheese 7) What kind of toothpaste do you use? Whatever the hecks on sale or I have a coupon for. I could care less what brand it is as long as it cleans the teeth-ers! 8) Coolest thing that happened this week that left you SMILING!?! I found out (just last night) that my husbands sub is NOT going back into the water this weekend as planned, so YES, he will be in town while his mom is here! Woooohooooooo!! 9) What magazine do you read the most? I'm an "Entertainment" junkie, love US and PEOPLE! 10) What kind of pets do you have? No, spouses don't count! Well, they're NOT really pets, they're our 4-legged-Kids! Two Pound Kitty-kats, both boys (the surprise was on us) and a diet would probably be a good thing for both of 'em? "Sir Peanut Head" ...a big ol' grumpy over fed Tabby, who hates his adopted fur-brother and wants to eat him. "Big Kahuna" ...another big ol' 17 pounder, who loves everything about life, including his adopted brother that hates him. .

Hi Lei - I was doing this and re-read it and decided my answers were way too boring!! Of course that was after I read Anthony's answers and thought 'hmmm, I wish I were as cool, and cute, and funny, and hip, and the list goes on -- as Anthony!!" I hope you have a fun time this weekend with your mom (in-law). love donna
