Meet Me On Monday

Okay, so I have decided that I am going to try and participate in some of the fun memes that go on throughout the week. I love doing reviews and giveaways, but also like to socialize and get personal, too!

There's a great one over at Acting Balanced called Meet Me On Monday. Each week, there will be 5 questions to answer. You can then link up and check out everyone's answers! To participate, just click the little button at the op of this post.

Here are this week's questions:


1. Are you planning anything for Valentine's Day?
2. What song automatically popped into your head when you saw this question?
3. What did you have for breakfast today?
4. Where do you keep your keys?
5. Who was your favorite teacher from when you were in school?

My answers:

.1. Are you planning anything for Valentine's Day?
Umm...No. Not really. I am almost certain that my husband has to work, and with 3 kids, a very limited budget, and bills that are due, I highly doubt we'll be doing anything too special. Not to mention that while my husband is a great guy, he really doesn't have a romantic bone in his body! (He will admit to this!) Maybe I will just prepare a nicer-than-usual dinner and try, probably in vain, to get some "alone" time together. Again, with 2 toddlers and a preteen, alone time doesn't really happen....ever. It doesn't matter much to me that we won't be painting the town, because I have never really cared much about Valentine's Day. Love is for EVERY day, not just one day out of the year. My hubby loves me all the time, and there's no better gift than that!

2. What song automatically popped into your head when you saw this question?
Speaking of being broke....WARNING: Do not click play if language offends you! This song has a great message, but does include some cursing. Bruno is so darn adorable t

3. What did you have for breakfast today?
I know this is really, really awful, since it's 1:30 in the afternoon, but I have not had breakfast yet. I rarely get hungry in the mornings, and between taking care of the kids, blogging, doing housework, etc, I often "forget" to eat. Yes, I know. Mommy Fail. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. While I know it, I don't practice it. Although some leftover Cincinnati Chili from last night sounds pretty darn tasty right about now. Lunch, anyone?

4. Where do you keep your keys?
In the black hole known as my purse. I think Jimmy Hoffa may be lost in there, too. Seriously, my purse weighs about 20lbs and seems to be the catch all for everything from baby toys, make-up, germ-X, to odd things like a spare razor and dry shampoo. What can I say? I'm not very organized!

5. Who was your favorite teacher from when you were in school?
Hands down, Mrs. West. She was my middle school chorus teacher and probably he sweetest, wisest woman I have ever met. She was a pseudo-mother figure for many of her students, myself included, and she was always there for us. I even went Christmas Caroling at her house every year with about a zillion other students and former students. It was kind of a tradition. I love Mrs. West and am blessed to have known her. She's actually still going strong and living on the beach in Delaware!
