Euro Stores and Car Dents

It's my last Friday with my baby home with me before he starts school full time again. Boo. Oh well, the sooner he starts the sooner he ends, right?

Today, we were bored so we went and checked out the euro store.  It's just like the Dollar Store or Dollar General. Anyways, so we're in the store and there's hardly anyone in the store.  I think other than Steven and I there there 2 other people, a mother and her daughter. So, we're walking around the store looking at everything and laughing at some of the stuff we found when we get stuck behind the mother and her daughter in the last aisle that leads up to the cash register. We're laughing and talking, in English of course, when the daughter who was no older than 5 probably turns around and is gawking at us. She had the funniest look on her face...one of utter disbelief. I swear, she thought we were aliens.  The whole way out of the store she was in front of us and she kept stopping, turning around, and staring at us... which just made us laugh even harder. You just had to be there.  We're pretty use to getting weird stares and looks from people since we're speaking a language that is not the mother tongue here. But, the poor girls expression was priceless. She looked so confused as to what we were speaking and a tad scared, haha.  Steven was laughing and said, "Can you imagine how confused she is?"

Anyways, that's my great ole' story of the day.

My Little Life


1. How much time do you spend on the computer a day?Waaaaaaayyyyyy too much time!  Hey, at least I have a semi-good excuse as to why. Ok, here's my wonderful reason as to why I stay on the wonderful world wide web so much.  Ya see, I don't work, I'm happily a "stay at home wife" (for the time being), and I happen to live in a town that has absolutely nothing entertaining to do in it. Nothing, nada, zilch. Unless of course, you consider going grocery shopping almost every day entertaining ;-) Plus, I feel as if I'm getting smarter by all the random reading I do online... just kinda, haha.

2. Will you pay for your children's college or raise them to pay for their own way?
Ooo, good question! Steven and I have discussed this and have different thoughts on it.  I think that by having your children pay for their own college it teaches them to work hard for the things they want and when/if they pay, they'll sometimes take it more seriously since it's their money they are spending. Now, if someday I have the kind of money to help my kids, then yes, I may help them a little. 

3. Have you ever been in a car accident?
Nope.... knock on wood :-) I have however hit "something" with my car. One glorious day, my (then boyfriend, now husband) and I decided to meet at the mall. I was following behind him looking for a parking space when I found one and decided to park in it. He was also parking at the same time only a few spots up from mine.  Well, while turning into the spot I got the smart idea to look at him, wink, smile, and act flirty. Obviously watching where I was going wasn't an option, I had more "important" things to do, right? Haha. Well, needless to say I hit the concrete pole that was on the side of the parking space. I remember when I hit it all I cared about for a couple of seconds was if anyone else had heard the loud "bam" and if anyone had seen it.  And yes, it left a nice little crack/hole in the bumper.  My mom later in the week came walking into the house all concerned about how someone had hit my car...yeah, um...mom, I did that. Hehe. I still get teased about it by him to this day.

4. What is your favorite book?
I don't really have one favorite book but one of my favorite authors is Karen Kingsbury.  I've read almost all of her books!  Of course, the Bible is one of my favorite books as well.

5. Do you make your bed everyday?

Ummm................. no.  Does anyone really? I personally feel like it's a pointless thing to do and am thankful that I have married a man that feels the same way about bed making :-D Obviously, I/we make our bed if people are coming over but I just don't see a point in making something every morning that you're just going to get back into when you get back home from work. It's not like people are in your house everyday walking through your rooms to see if your beds are made, hahahaha. People who make their bed every single morning do it more because they feel like everything has to be "perfect" for the day... at least, I think that's it.  Haha.

LOL! I'm with you on the bed-making! Check out my 5QF post for a link to an article that claims that unmade beds are actually healthier than MADE ones! :)
