5 Question Friday

Time to head over to Mama M's for 5 question Friday! She's back from vacation and I hope she had a great time!







Rules for 5QF: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for the linky post to appear and LINK UP!
This weeks questions are: 
1. Do you swim in the winter?
No - but I would love to be able to! As long as I could swim in an outdoor pool/lake/ocean - never cared too much for indoor pools, just not the same without the sun beating down on you.

2. Do you love or hate winter?
Both I guess - I love to see the trees all full of ice and snow on the ground but I hate driving in the stuff! 

3. Do you put makeup/actual clothes on when you know you're going to be home all day with just family? 
I haven't worn makeup since my son's wedding - what you see is what you get and I often spend the whole weekend in nothing but sweats.

4. How old were you when you had your first alcoholic beverage?
Very young - I grew up in a place where moonshine was still common and my granny would keep some in a pint jar for medicinal purposes - does that count? She would give us a teaspoon full when we had a bad cough. Otherwise, I've never really been into drinking that much, although I do enjoy a glass of wine at times.

5. How many ill calls in a 12 month period do you think are acceptable?
Well - I've always had the attitude that if I'm sick I'm going to be miserable no matter where I am so I might as well go to work. I did however miss two days last week - the first sick days I have ever taken on this job that I've had for 2 years. Does that mean I'm getting old?

  1. #2 I hate driving in the stuff too, but I loved that Illinois had it totally together when it came to clearing the roads when we lived there.

  2. When I worked, I was lucky to never have had to take a day off because of sickness. I did have a couple of surgeries, but managed to have them during vacation. However, my employees used the slightest ache or pain to miss work, frustrating.

  3. HI There, I am like you... I don't wear make-up at all anymore. I did before I retired...

    I love winter also---but I like to stay inside and enjoy the snow...I don't like driving in it at all.

    Have a great weekend.
    Hugs,
    Betsy
