Five Question Friday!


Welcome to Five Question Friday!! You've come to the right place if you want a fun, easy post!

Rules for 5QF: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for the linky post to appear Friday morning and LINK UP! Oh, and remember (pay close attention...this is the important one)...HAVE FUN!

Questions for Friday, August 10th:
1. Thunder storms- love them or hate them?
  • I personally Love them! I also have been known, to nearly jump out of my skin when I am caught off guard or it shakes the house.
2. Do your kids get back to school clothes?
  • Yes, we took my sons shopping for new shoes and pants. My Kindergartner now has a wild pair of orange and gray pair of shoes to start the school year!
3. Do you golf? Do you watch it?
  • Does mini golf count? I have never played, I have gone to the driving range and it was a horrible experience. Golf just isn't a sport I enjoy. I also must confess, I have zero athletic ability, which may or may not have something to do with my lack of interest.
4. Showers or baths?
  • Showers, but I would love to soak in a clawed foot bath tub! I have this dream of getting all pruney from soaking in a long hot bubble bath, in a clawed foot tub at some swanky cutesy bed and breakfast.
5. What's the strangest meal you ever ate?
  • I would say it is a tie...between snails or octopus. Escargot was served at a very fancy restaurant in St. Louis, for my 13th birthday. It was served in a mushroom cap, and a butter sauce. (I was shocked that I loved it!) The next strange meal was on the Christmas Eve before my son was born, my husband and I went to a Chinese all you can eat restaurant, that had grilled octopus. I put two mini octopus on my plate, and sat back down at our table. I sliced off one little leg, and tried to chew it, and swallow it. I was the strangest texture I have ever eaten in my life! I could feel the suction cups, and choked the leg down. Needless to say I did not eat any more, and my husband thought it was the funniest thing he had ever witnessed.

    I love thunderstorms too and it's a good thing...we've been having them almost daily of late!

    Unless my mother buys them, my children won't be getting back to school clothes this year.. they were with my parents last week, their dad this week and will be with my parents again next week, so I won't have them to take them shopping before school starts!

Congratulations to Kellie W .,  as she was selected as the winner of the giveaway for the  New Trent iCarrier Heavy Duty Dual Port Charger! It is that time again! Conference season, is here and I know many Bloggers are heading to conferences to network, connect with brands, and to see those that they correspond with on Social Media! I was amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of "stuff," one can drag with them to a conference. As I packed my bag for a local two day conference,  I could not help but count the number of gadgets and cords that I would be hauling with me.  It wasn't until lunch time, that I gave any thought to the fact that there weren't any outlets available to charge all of my devices that I used throughout the day to connect to Social Media! As I looked around there were hundreds of bloggers and business people, all with the same concern. How on earth would I save my dying Smart Phone? I looked at the wall behind me and there was a line of d
