June 9th Questions:

1. Tell me, what do you have planned for father’s day? Do the kids really help you pick out a gift, or is it all you? If you don’t have a significant other, what do you have planned for your father? What gift do you plan on giving to the father in your life? My mom has planned something special for Father’s Day and I will participate in that. She is pretty excited about her idea :)… My dad is hard to buy a gift for, but this year I am contributing to a larger gift he has chosen. That’s easy! Matt is hard because his birthday is the week before and then our anniversary is around Father’s Day too. It’s hard to come up with something for that many occasions all in the same weekish. I gave a Mannix dvd season 1 and some other things for his birthday a little early.

2. What did you do over the weekend? Friday night went shopping with the kids for camp, Saturday packed for camp and shopped for my mom’s birthday present (a bathing suit)… Sunday church and nap and church.

3. What is your favorite saying, quote or expression? WHY is this your favorite? Is there a story behind your favorite quote? I use the word “fine” a lot. Like when there is a concern anywhere about Iz I always say, “she’s fine.” If asked how I am doing I seem to always say, “I’m fine.” and when Matt calls to ask how Izzy’s day is going I usually reply, “fine.” He is not a fan of the fine word. Oh well… and I don’t know why I use that word it just works fine in many situations.

4. How “green” are you? Tell us what you’re currently doing to help the planet. Tell us what you could do better to help the planet? I’m not very green. Sad I know. I bought the reusable bags at Walmart. They packed them in plastic bags for me to take home … I drive a big SUV which is not very green, but am thinking about shopping for a hybrid suv of some kind at some point. I could probably do a lot of things to “help the planet.”
