Monday Minute

Time for Ian's Monday Minute! This week, he is co-hosting with Michelle @ Mommy Loves Stilletos. If you decide to play along, be sure to check out both of their blogs.


Monday Minute

1. What's your real name?

Marianne Elizabeth Bridget I'mnottellingyoumylastname.
Bridget is my Conformation name (Catholic Sacrament), so not on my birth certificate. To be honest, I never use it. And my last name really isn't that big of a secret, if you're friends with me on facebook or have ever received an email from me, but, I'd rather keep it off the blog.

2. Have you ever fabricated a story or anything on your blog?

No. What's the point? What you see is what you get, with me.

3. When in the car do you listen to the radio/CDs/iPod/etc?

All of the above. Usually radio or iPod, though.

4. Describe the 'sexiest' item of clothing that you own

Ha! Beats me! I'm sure I have my fair share of items deemed "sexy," but it's nothing special. I should take a picture of my closet-- y'all would be flabbergasted over how many clothes I own. The amount of shoes would probably give you a heart attack.

Would you be willing to breastfeed your friend's three year old child?

Um, no. My child will not be breastfed at 3, so you better believe I will not be breastfeeding any other child that is 3-- or any other age, for that matter. What an odd question...


Thanks, Ian & Michelle!

Also, I've known for a while that quite a few of my family members read my blog. Hi, family!!! However, I did not know that my 87-year-old Great Uncle Mac read it, so a special HI to you, Uncle Mac!!! Love all of you :)

Yeah I totally agree with you on breastfeeding a 3-year old child. When a kid can undo your bra and help himself to some milk, that's when the child needs to learn how to drink milk from a cup.

Just like I tell my 3-yr olds...if you can change your own diaper, you need to be potty trained. Period.

Hi Uncle Mac!!!

Yeah that breast feeding thing was bizarre...

Woo, you are a woman after my own heart!! The amount of shoes I own very nearly gives my hubs a heart attack, and is constantly being added to as I go along. LMAO Clothes, I love, but not so much now that I've gotten to be such a big fat fatty...shopping just isn't fun when those funhouse mirrors in the dressing rooms make me look even worse than I already feel. LOL Anywho, great post as always!! Have a Happy Monday...;)

I am with you completely on the 3-year-old thing. SO weird. A 3-year-old can dirnk himself some milk!

Isn't it neat when you find out a relative is reading your blog? My uncle reads mine and a few cousins (that I am not close with). It's neat!

And of course my grandmas read it... and my husband... and my sister... and sometimes my parents. I think that's about it.

Good times. Have a lovely Monday!

Hey Uncle! And who's got more shoes - you or Michelle?

Happy Monday :)
Totally agree with the last question. Odd one for sure. And NO, I wouldnt do it either. 3 is way to old to be nursed. A 3 year old can practically open the fridge and pour his own milk!!

I know, the breastfeeding a three year old thing? Totally gross, if you ask me. I think two is too old...but then again I never really want to breastfeed anyone, ever!

I think Ian was hit over the head and that's why he created that Breastfeeding question...or he has some crazy unresolved childhood anxiety ;)

Happy Monday! I would LOVE to see all your shoes and then be sad over my own tiny little number of pairs. I need new shoes

Just Popping In

I didn't intend to skip out for the past (almost) week, &, as a matter of fact, I actually HAD things to blog about (shocking, I know), but the end of last week was pure chaos and time did not allow for much of anything other than work/appointments/errands/getting ahead on school work/playing mom to three kids all weekend. And all of that running around & time spent with kids has left me with a terrible cold, intense nausea, and sleep deprevation. However, my flight leaves at 7:05 tomorrow morning & by 2 EST, I'll be in beautiful St Thomas with another friend visiting one of my favorite people in the world & for that, I am beyond grateful. Catch y'all in a week or so! Aloha. Or whatever the Caribbean equivalent of goodbye is.

Random Facts about Me You Probably Don't Care to Know.

Brown Eyed Girl Jenn did this post earlier today and I thought it was fun, I haven't done a meme in ages, and I have a handful of new followers who may like to know useless information about me, so I figured what the heck? Might as well steal it. Thanks, Jenn! The ABCs of yours truly! A. Age -- 23. I'll be 24 on May 20th (I love surprises in the mail, hint hint ;)) and some days I can't believe I'm that old, while others, I can't believe I'm that young. B. Bed size -- Queen and it's the most heavenly thing in the world, which is great, but also bad, because it is nearly impossible to pull myself out of bed every morning... or afternoon. C. Chore you dislike -- Cleaning the shower would probably be my least favorite. I have a shower/tub combo and I really just hate getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing the bejeezus out of the thing. Plus, I feel like I smell like Clorox for the next 3 showers. D. Dogs -- I have two fur babies, you can read about them

The Season of Giving... & Receiving

Read this post. Trust me, you'll want to. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year. From Thanksgiving until January 1st, I forget about how much I despise cold weather and bask in the warmth that is Christmas cheer. Oh, Lord, is that cheesy or what? But I mean it. There's just something about all the decorations, the music, the preparation for the birth of my Lord, that makes me all giddy. But it can also be a stressful time with the end of school, shopping to do, letters to send, volunteer work, etc. I know I'm not the only person in the world who stresses. Kids, taking care of the home, jobs, finding a job, loved ones who are fighting for our freedom overseas, school, being a good friend and family member-- it can all be so overwhelming and take a toll on the body. I try to use homeopathic remedies (I think that's the term I'm looking for...) when I'm feeling incredibly stressed because Lord knows my body gets pumped full of enough pharmaceuticals as is
