Ten on Tuesday!

I promise to be a better blogger. No excuses for why I haven’t been…just running out of things to talk about, I suppose. Thank goodness there’s ToT to keep me honest!

 

1. Do you have an innie or an outie?

An innie. We’re a family of innies. Jack’s doctor did a good job on his sweet little belly button.


2. What kind of milkshake do you order?

I don’t. I’m not a milkshake kind of girl. Although when I was pregnant, I craved them all the time. Yet I didn’t have a single on. Strange, huh?


3. How often do you repeat outfits at work?

Oh such a good question! I wear the exact same thing over and over. I used to be able to go months without repeating outfits. It was sick really. But ever since having a baby, I’m not a size 0 anymore. Shocking, I know! So all my clothes are packed up in tubs and I promised myself I wouldn’t open them until Jack is a year old. So right now, I am wearing the same 5 outfits over and over. When Jack was about 2 months old, I stopped wearing maternity clothes (yes, non moms…you still wear maternity clothes even AFTER baby). But I was nowhere near my old size. So I went out and bought some temporary clothes. But I didn’t want to buy a ton because I knew I’d lose the weight. So I bought 5 work outfits. Now they are too big but I’m still only about halfway to my old size (which, for the record, I’ll probably never fit into again. And that’s okay. I was a bit on the holy crap that’s tiny side). So last week, my sister and mom went to a sample sale in San Francisco and last night I got all new work clothes!!!!! I can’t wait to wear them. Long story short: I wear the same things over and over…but now I can change it up a bit!


4. What are your feelings about thank you notes?

I think I have made it VERY clear that I think Thank You notes are a must. Sorry if you don’t write them. I don’t mean to be snotty but I just think it’s nice. If someone went to effort of making/buying you something, it’s nice to say thank you. I know they are a pain…but they are really a good idea. My Grandma Miller used to make us write them and if she would send us a present and we didn’t send her a thank you note, we wouldn’t get a present the next year. To this day, sometimes I feel like I should write thank you notes for getting cards! What I’m trying to say is, this card would be good for me:

    you're welcome

    inside text:
    thank you for
    thanking me with
    your thank you card

 

 

 

 


5. Do you like spicy food?

I’m “that girl” who puts Louisiana Hot Sauce on EVERYTHING. French fries, pizza, eggs, EVERYTHING. I love it. I love a little kick.


6. How many toilet paper squares do you use?

Way more than I should. I won’t get into the details of that though.


7. Were you in Girl Scouts?

No. My mom wouldn’t let me. And I’m still bitter about it to this day.


8. Notebooks/Journals: College ruled? Wide Ruled? No lines? Spiral Bound? Plain front? Decorative?

College Ruled. Spiral Bound. 1/2 size.


9. Do you snack throughout the day? What do you pack for snacks?

Eh, sometimes. Usually a wasa cracker with a wedge of light laughing cow cheese. I rarely get time to eat snacks though. I’m lucky if I pull out my lunch. I used to never understand how people “didn’t have time” to eat. Until I started this job. Now I get it.


10. What is your favorite month? Why?

December. Lots of time off. Lots of family time. And now I live in a place where I don’t absolutely dread the weather!

Bozo's Mom said...

Actually, the innie / outtie-ness of a belly button has nothing to do with the doctor. When Bozo was born I asked the doctor to make sure to tie the umbilical cord so that Bozo would have an innie -- he said that wouldn't matter, that an outtie happens when the baby has a hernia that causes the belly button to protrude!

Once Bozo's umbilical knot fell off, I looked to see what type of belly button he had, and there it was -- a protruding stump. I pulled a bit on the stump and IT WASN'T A BELLY BUTTON AT ALL! It was a handkerchief corner! I pulled and there was a blue handkerchief tied to the opposite corner... and then a red one... and then yellow... and green...
