The Ramblings Of Jenn Shuey

I haven’t “thunk about it” in awhile due to everything that’s been going on, so let’s see if I can get back into the swing of things while the baby’s sleeping.

1. Sometimes when you are sitting around doing nothing, a thought randomly pops into your head. How many measuring cups do you own?
Good lord I own about 10 of them. Some of them are for cooking, others are for crafts, but I still own way too many. I seriously need to get rid of a bunch of them!

2. What is your favorite ice cream topping? I have to pick just one?
I guess I’d have to say hot fudge if I have to pick one, but I’m more of a banana split pile a bunch of stuff on top kind of girl.

3. Egg nog – is it digestible?
Totally! I looove it, and I’m so glad it’s “eggnog season”. I’m even happier that I can have it now that I’m not pregnant.

4. Were you one of the insane humans who went to a store last Friday?
I wasn’t there at the crack of dawn this year simply because I wasn’t dragging the baby out there, but we did venture out Friday evening after the madness was over.

5. There are 12 months in a year, anywhere from 28 – 31 days in a month, depending on the year, of course. Each day holds a special meaning for someone, some days hold a special meaning for everybody. Do you have a 2010 calendar yet?
Yep I have 3 of them…one for work, one for personal, and one for the baby’s milestones, dr’s appts, etc.

6. Kids are funny sometimes and say the darndest things, but it’s ok because they are kids and they are so adorable. A two year old is cute when they say a swear word. Admit it, they are. What was your favorite nursery rhyme growing up? Hey – if you don’t have a favorite, just work with me here and pick the first one that fell off the wall and broke like an egg or came out of the sky like a cow who just jumped over the moon.
My favorite was the one about the mean little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead because my little sister totally fit the description of that little girl. She even had the little curl that hung down the middle of her forehead!

7. Most of us have some type of machine that people like to call ‘vehicles’. Some are blue, some are yellow, some are red. Some have trunks, some have beds and some even can’t decide if they are a car or a truck. We put gas in them, check the oil and drive them all over the place and stop them in places called parking spots. Picture in your mind the machine you currently own and if you own more than one, picture the one you last drove – when was the last time you had a new tire on it?
Hubby got new tires in September, and we’re due for tires again. Because he travels so much and drives our only vehicle up and down the mountain everyday we go through a new set of tires every 2-3 months.

8. For those of us on Facebook, do you wish to share your Facebook identity with us? Sure. Click here to see my profile.

9. Santa’s coming! Where’s the best place to hide presents? Any clever little tricks for keeping those nosey people from ruining the surprise?
When I was a kid the best hiding place for all the toys was at Grandma’s house where they could be locked away in rooms we weren’t allowed in.

We won’t have to worry about hiding the presents for another year or two, but I know exactly where we’re going to hide them. We have a locked storage closet in the baby’s nursery/her future room, so presents will be locked up in that closet right under her little nose! We’ll just have to make sure we get them moved out of the closet before she goes to be on Christmas Eve.

10. Have you heard that the world is going to end in 2012? Some people think that the world isn’t actually going to go BOOM! and be no more, they think that the “end of the world” is actually going to be a worldwide takeover by a certain country and/or religion, which all has to do with the current president of the USA. Do you agree?
I believe no one knows when the world is going to end. I do believe we’re seeing signs of the times, but I don’t believe the world is going to suddenly end in 2012.

11. Butterfly, butterfly fluttering through the air, please don’t land on my freshly washed hair. What brand of shampoo did you use this morning? (and for those of you who still stink.. think of yesterday morning… and if that still doesn’t apply to you – go get your stinky butt in the shower!)
I’m usually a Dove girl, but lately I’ve been using a bottle of Garnier Fructis 2-in-1 my Mom picked up for me while I was in the hospital. I just don’t have the time for two separate products at the moment!
