    1. What social trend do you dislike the most? (past or present)

    I hate how casual we have become in general. I'm not saying we should dress to the nines everyday. But, there are some things worth dressing up for, but people don't. My husband took me to WICKED for my birthday, and it was so disappointing to see young people at the music hall in shorts and flip-flops. Ugh! And, don't even get me started on church! Again, you don't have to be all gussied up, but SHOW SOME RESPECT. :hairpol

    2. What is your favorite word?

    Well, I've never thought about that. I'll have to get back to you. Haha!

    Okay... I'm back. I think it must be "mall-dicker." A friend of ours uses that word to describe all the teenage kids that just hang out at the mall all day with nothing better to do.

    3. What was the best thing that happened to you yesterday?

    My daughter called me from Virginia Beach. She's on vacation with her daddy, and it was great to get to hear her voice. :heartslub

    4. Have you started Christmas shopping?

    Uh, that would be a big, fat NO.

    5. Do you like the color of your eyes?

    Just regular, dark brown, but I'll keep 'em. :whoopdedoo

    ((I'm enjoying having fun with the smileys.) Haha!

    1. What social trend do you dislike the most? (past or present) it may just be here, but going to church in our town seems to be just another appointment on a social calendar for people.

    2. What is your favorite word? lauren, plethora is TOTALLY my fave word. i like to say it with a spanish accent. :lol

    3. What was the best thing that happened to you yesterday? my son was actually pretty well-behaved yesterday. minimal arguing and he didn't hit/scratch/kick his sister once

    4. Have you started Christmas shopping? LMBO heavens no

    5. Do you like the color of your eyes? yes

    I really dislike the absence of formality. I remember when going to a play, concert, church etc. was a special thing and my parents always encouraged us to wear our best clothes, shoes etc. Nowadays, kids wear shorts, flip flops, and other crap.

    2. What is your favorite word?
    fartsniffer - my BFF says it all the time

    3. What was the best thing that happened to you yesterday?
    I got rid of some emotional baggage and made a new resolve to move forward.

    4. Have you started Christmas shopping?
    not yet

    5. Do you like the color of your eyes?
    yes, my eyes are a bluish green and I think they are pretty

    I hate it when you do something nice for someone and they say "You shouldn't have." Yes. I shouldn't have, but I wanted to. It totally discounts the "wanted to" part.


    2. What is your favorite word? onomatopoeia - I mean not only does it sound completely cool, but I also love the definition!

    3. What was the best thing that happened to you yesterday? We got home safe and sound!
    Dang Manda Kaye. You go girl!!!

    4. Have you started Christmas shopping? Ha ha ha ha ha.

    5. Do you like the color of your eyes? Sure. It works for me.

    1. What social trend do you dislike the most? (past or present) - Bad grammar - maybe not a social "trend" but I hear it ALL the time and it's like nails on a chalk board
    2. What is your favorite word? "Honestly?" I way overuse that
    3. What was the best thing that happened to you yesterday? Spending the day with hubs and dogs. Didn't do much, but it was just a nice day
    4. Have you started Christmas shopping? Oh, hell no. John is a buyer - if he wants it, he buys it, so its impossible to start shopping for him earlier than December 1.
    5. Do you like the color of your eyes?Now I do (they're a deep dark brown). When I was a kid I wanted blue eyes.

    Go for it, Julie! Haha... Marshall would be honored. ;)

    The other one he uses that you'd probably like is "crumbpeckers." Those are the little kids... Abby's age and younger. LOL! He's got quite the regional vocabulary. Haha!

    hahahaa me too. :) that is a perfect way to describe it. :)


    1. What social trend do you dislike the most? (past or present)
    on a more serious note--I am not fond of the lack of respect young people have towards older people. They just say and do things now a days that we wouldn't have even dreamed of doing to adults when we were growing up.

    on a more silly note---I seriously cannot believe that the 80's fashions are coming back--it was a disaster the first time around, I can't imagine how it will end up this time around. hahaa! I do have to admit that my girls love things that are trends from the 80's though. I just hope that the HUGE hair stays away. :)

    2. What is your favorite word?
    1) seriously, 2) plethora, for reals, and 3) (annoyingly even to me) you know, I just say it too much. :)


    3. What was the best thing that happened to you yesterday?
    a clean house (well, it didn't happen to me, I happened to it, but none the less, I like it)


    4. Have you started Christmas shopping?
    NO WAY!! hahahaa, I am such a procrastinator.


    5. Do you like the color of your eyes?
    sure thing. a unique hazel green, starts really amber-ish in the middle--then changes to green and ends with a blue ish tone around the outside. I have always liked my eyes. :)

    1. What social trend do you dislike the most? (past or present) There's probably a few but I can't think of any certain one. I guess that there's less IRL interaction than before.

    2. What is your favorite word? One that I can say or what I say under my breath?!?!? LOL I'd have to say 'Seriously'!

    3. What was the best thing that happened to you yesterday? I hit every green light on my way to work.

    4. Have you started Christmas shopping? OMG....people start this early?!?!? I envy them. I procrastinate!

    5. Do you like the color of your eyes? Yes....they're hazel so depending on what I wear, they change a little.

    1. What social trend do you dislike the most? (past or present) The formal stuff doesn't bother me at all, guess that's why I love California so much. I think the most annoying trend is probably the Helicopter parenting that Kristy mentioned. I have neighbors who are constantly outside watching their 12 year old play and they are always up in my face about what my 8 year old is doing outside. He's a good kid, and is adverse to risk, so I see no reason to hover over him all the time. And I'd like him to move out before he's 30, so I figure I'm doing him and me a favor letting him play without me being out there with him LOL.

    2. What is your favorite word? I say "seriously" all the time. Or words not fit for company, LOL.

    3. What was the best thing that happened to you yesterday? my dd had no accidents!! yay!! almost done with the toilet training :)

    4. Have you started Christmas shopping? nope, i wait until the last minute

    5. Do you like the color of your eyes? well, I don't dislike the color, but they are pretty boring.
